Based in Singapore, Raeal was recently interviewed by Ezyhealth & Beauty magazine regarding his work in Past Life Regression Therapy. We have reproduced the full uncensored interview here. The edited article was published in the July 2007 issue.

How effective is Past Life Regression Therapy (PLRT) proven to heal a person? (Do you have a personal experience to share?)

I think there are two aspects to this. Take the case of Chinese acupuncture. It was not accepted by the western medical science not too long ago but today, it is even practised in government hospitals. The debatable point behind chinese acupuncture's long overdue recognition is due to its use of energy or 'chi'. Conventional medical science cannot measure it and so they are not willing to accept it. But countless people have stuck to it and benefited immeasurably from it.

Likewise, PLRT cannot be proven to heal using conventional yardsticks simply because current science cannot measure or prove beyond our physical bodies. Yet, we are more than our physical bodies. It is beyond this interview to try to introduce metaphysics, but suffice to say that we are spiritual beings having a temporary human experience, rather than the other way round. Therefore, a subject is often healed more at a spiritual, mental or emotional level than physical. Some common examples are subjects losing their fear of water, height, snakes, etc. The most common type of healing is actually in human relationship. For example, you may understand more of why you dislike someone intensely for no reason. Perhaps that person did you wrong in a past life. These are not physical symptoms, so how do you prove? Nevertheless, many subjects have also reported alleviations of physical pains or problems. I have seen for myself a subject saying that his back pain has subsided after he remembered an accident involving his back during a session and then releasing and coming to terms with that memory.

I am just a facilitator who facilitates the session. My subjects heal themselves, not by me.

The other aspect which is applicable to all healing modalities, including both conventional and alternative, is that the subject must want to be healed first. I am just a facilitator who facilitates the session. My subjects heal themselves, not by me. We are all creators of our own reality and what we choose in our beliefs can cause problems. Take a lady I know for example. She has high blood pressure and later diagnosed to have some growths in her scans and she suspected that it could be cancerous. I suspect she has a difficult relationship with her husband and subconsciously manifested the physical symptoms so that she can get empathy. Does she really want to be healed? I think it is very hard if she does not resolve the relationship problem with her husband first.
