You only live once, so the saying goes... but can we be so sure? Mystic throughout the centuries have believed the human spirit does not die but returns to earth to live in many different bodies. This idea is shared by many psychics and hypnotists who claim they have the power to take people back to their past lives.
Do you know what you were in your past life?
PSYCHIC Petrene Soames conducts both regressions to past lives and Progression to future ones, but says she does not need to use hypnotism to achieve them. She claims her psychic ability is able to penetrate the mental parts hypnotists cannot reach. Nevertheless, her techniques for "opening up the psychic energy centres" of her subjects are remarkably similar to those used by Jack Hardy to hypnotise his. When I underwent a regression with Petrene at her home in Sherwood Avenue, Streatham [...], I was told to breathe deeply and stare at a fixed point - in this case a crystal. I then closed my eyes and fell into a relaxed state, like that between waking and sleeping. Petrene told me to imagine myself on a stairway and taking four steps downwards. When I was on the fourth stair, she told me to look at my shoes and describe them.
