Here is an advanced and extremely potent Reiki technique combining Reiki with the power of visualization with an even more advanced technique bringing hypnosis into the mix. Use with caution as the effects are difficult to reverse.
What is Regression?
Regression, or Age Regression is the process of returning to an earlier stage of life in order to explore a memory. Regression therapy is generally used in hypnotherapy (and similar branches of psychology) with mixed results and is always coming under attack for being quite dangerous if not handled carefully, but don’t worry, the way it is used in this procedure it is quite harmless and can be of tremendous benefit if done correctly.
The Basic Technique
For the basic technique, all you have to do is connect to Reiki and meditate on or visualize a particular event in your life that you feel Reiki would have helped out with. Picture it as clearly as you can and actually feel yourself in the body of the past you. This is all that is really involved in regression at the most superficial level (which is as far as we are going for this exercise). Once you have the situation clearly in your mind, and you can feel yourself present in that time, you want to draw the third Reiki symbol in order to connect your present time to that situation. When you have done that you can then use your body as a direct channel to send Reiki back in time to that event.
If you have been practicing the exercises for noticing the flow of Reiki energy you will clearly feel that it has been activated which is an indication that something is happening. And after you feel it flowing you will then be able to direct those Reiki energies either to yourself or to those others that were present in that situation. This is different from using the distance symbol to send Reiki healing back in time because the added power of the regression is allowing you to use the Reiki energies as if you were actually doing it at that time.
The Advanced Technique
In the advanced technique you need a hypnotherapist to help you out, preferably one that knows about Reiki. They know all about regression therapy and will be able to regress you to a much deeper level than you can do with a meditation or visualization. Make sure they understand that you do not want to psychoanalyze or in any other way attempt to understand the situation (that is beyond the scope of this practice and can be harmful if the hypnotherapist does not know what they are doing). You only want to use the power of regression therapy to connect to the situation as deeply as possible.
Once you are regressed and connected at such a deep level you will lose the power to remember what you are doing there, which is why you need the hypnotherapist to be present and which is also why self-hypnosis doesn’t work in this situation (unless you have recorded a script to allow you to do so… but I don’t recommend it).
As in the basic technique, you want the therapist to guide you in drawing the third symbol (and other symbols if you choose) and directing the Reiki energies either to yourself or others that were present in that situation. Again, don’t try to analyze or in any way judge it, just be present there and allow Reiki to do its thing.
My post on Reiki and Hypnosis gives you a few more pointers on combining these two healing modalities for maximum effect… use them wisely!
