You are so much more than your current ego- AWAKE!

I found that this book is really a continuation of _Many Lives, Many Masters_. However, instead of focusing upon a single case study, this time the author covers many cases of hypnotic regression. There are several reasons for these regressions arranged by section: healing physical problems, healing relationships, healing the inner and abused child, correcting obesity and eating disorders, correcting substance abuse, achieving mystical or spiritual insights, and regression simply to enrich one's overall experience of the wonder of life. The cases examined tend to be brief but to the point.The last chapter covers the technique of hypnotic regression (both conventional and past-life) in more detail. Additional techniques of past-life exploration are also examined such as dream analysis, meditation and visualization, self-awareness techniques, and "play" techniques. It is significant that the author emphasizes that regression can usually be safely achieved by self-hypnosis without benefit of an "expert." In fact, the appendix contains the transcript for a self-hypnosis tape (do NOT listen to it in the car!)There are also some more extensive historical and philosophical insights in this book. this includes the fact that reincarnation was initially accepted by the Christian faith until it became the state religion of Rome. Both the Emperor Constantine, as well as the later church hierarchy, rejected the doctrine for political and control reasons. It is also pointed out that an underground of mystical movements such as the Gnostics, Cathars, Sufis, and Kabbalists have always accepted reincarnation as a core spiritual belief (indeed, life hardly makes sense with out it.)One additional note: Dr. Weiss actually found out who the "Robert Jarrod" was that needed his help from his previous experience with Catherine.All in all, I found this book to be even more interesting and informative than Many Lives, Many Masters.

Amazing...

Having read "Only Love Is Real: A Story of Soulmates Reunited" first, I already knew I would love this book before I picked it up. Dr. Weiss' experiences with regression therapy, and the amazing stories of his patients, have given me a whole new interpretation on everything from my own views on death and the afterlife and the meaning and purpose of our lives, to a deeper understanding of my soulmate and I, who had only just ourselves rediscovered each other in this lifetime, and were seeking answers to the powerful, otherwise inexplicable connection we have. I would recommend this book, and any of Dr. Weiss' books, to anyone who has wondered what the real purpose of our lives is, or who wants to know more about soulmates, soul families, and healing life's pain and loneliness.

Healing Takes Time, But Can Be Accelerated

Although this book is more clinical in its approach than Weiss' other two stories, I still found it interesting and compelling. His chapters are understandably split by categories. As a recovering alcoholic, I was quite intrigued by how I fit into the scheme of life and death. It has given me insight into my alcoholism, has helped me heal my deep pain, and has helped keep me sober for the last 7 years. It helped me realize that active alcoholism is suicide on an installment plan. The suggestion for a self-guided regression session (at the end of the book) is worthwhile in itself!

Read all three books in a weekend -- Fascinated

I read all three of Dr. Weiss' books over the weekend. I was totally mesmerized! I have always felt that I have lived before & these books totally strengthed that belief.

Another excellent book from Dr. Weiss

Dr. Weiss' books will either make you more of a believer or will give you a lot to consider about the possibility of reincarnation. You won't find better writing on the subject than Dr. Weiss' books. They are written in an engaging and quick reading style. They are not highly scientific in their presentation but Dr. Weiss generates great confidence in his methods and motivations.
