I was house sitting this weekend, and decided to take along my iPod, that has on it both regression CDs by Roger Woolger and Brian Weiss. I figured I was less likely to fall asleep listening to Dr. Weiss' regression at someone else's house, sitting up in a chair. At home, I almost always fall asleep listening to him. His voice is so soothing, and his beginning relaxation techniques are so long. Dr. Woolger, as many of you know, only tells you to "get comfortable and close your eyes"...so, I never fall asleep listening to his regression CD.
I also have never gone into a past life listening to either CDs. Although, last night, something came to me while listening to Dr. Woolger's. When he discusses childhood games and such, I never have any problem remembering memories from my current lifetime; but when he then instructs the listener to now see yourself doing the same thing in a past life, my mind does no such thing...usually. Last night, was a slight exception, though. I was thinking of myself swinging as a child. I loved to swing! Both on the children's swing we had, and on a neighbor's swing that held more than one person. I would swing for hours after school on some days. It was a type of escapism, I believe. So, when it was time to picture myself swinging in a past life, I didn't. Instead, I pictured myself riding a horse. And a very strong thought came to me--you were swinging in your current lifetime, because you couldn't go horseback riding, like you did in the past!
Now, with Dr. Weiss' CD, my problem, besides falling asleep before it's over, is the idea of going
down instead of
up. For those familiar with that CD, you know he instructs you to picture a beautiful garden, where you walk down stairs to go into it. Down, down, down you go. Only, I can't go down!:laugh: I keep thinking: "No, you have it backwards! You should be saying go up, not down!" Going down to me, is like going into darkness, going into a basement or cellar...or something. Going
up is where the light is, and where your memories will be illuminated.
Does anyone else have that problem with being told to go down stairs, instead of up, or is it just me? All, I can figure is you are going down to your
subconscious mind. Or is there some other reason he instructs the listener to go down?
