What Does Past Life Regression Teach Us About The Afterlife? Dr. Brian Weiss

January 24, 2012 by Bob Olson 62 Comments

DR. BRIAN WEISS: “I’m thrilled to present this new Afterlife TV episode featuring Dr. Brian Weiss. Brian is the author of Many Lives, Many Masters, Through Time Into Healing, Only Love Is Real, Messages From The Masters, Same Soul, Many Bodies, and more. In this interview, Brian Weiss talks about whether we reincarnate as animals (or animals as humans), how many lifetimes most people have experienced, if past life regression can cause issues in addition to healing them, what to do when we experience a traumatic past life memory, how often we regress to a lifetime that is relevant to our current issues, and Dr. Weiss’ viewpoints on ‘old souls’ and ‘soul mates.’ I had a lot of fun interviewing Brian, and I think you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.” ~ Bob Olson, Afterlife TV

Dr. Brian Weiss, author of Many Lives, Many Masters, talks about past life regression. 

As a traditional psychotherapist, Dr. Brian Weiss was astonished and skeptical when one of his patients began recalling past life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. His skepticism was eroded, however, when she began to channel messages from “the space between lives,” which contained remarkable revelations about Dr. Weiss’s family and his deceased son. Using past life therapy, he was able to cure the patient and embark on a new, more meaningful phase of his own career.

A graduate of Columbia University and Yale Medical School, Brian L. Weiss M.D. is Chairman Emeritus of Psychiatry at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami. Dr. Weiss conducts national and international seminars and experiential workshops, as well as training programs for professionals.

    Bob,
    I’m really excited and glad you are doing this type of work and interviews, about life after death and out of body experience. It is fascinating and sometimes beyond comprehension. However I can totally relate to all of this. When I was 16 years old I drowned in the ocean. That was my near to death experience, the only reason I came back is because I saw my mother’s suffering. I was very comfortable and content in a timeless, painless, no sorrow, no rush, no tomorrow, loving wonderful and peaceful world! I realized that life is like a dream, when you are born you wake up into mortality in this physical body, when your physical body dies, you’re going back to immortality, therefore I’m not afraid to die anymore, it is like going home, there was an opening to another dimension for sure when this happened, which allows me to help others in this life. Keep up your good word, you’re allowing those people like me to feel normal. Hugs, Lupita

      What a great story. I appreciate you telling us about your near-death experience after drowning. I think you’d really enjoy the two interviews I did on this subject, one with Anita Moorjani (NDE during a coma) https://www.afterlifetv.com/2011/12/07/a-fascinating-near-death-experience-during-a-coma-a-powerful-message-that-could-change-your-life and another with MarVeena Meek (Texas Cowgirl) https://www.afterlifetv.com/2011/11/18/texas-rodeo-cowgirl-visits-the-afterlife-during-a-near-death-experience

      Thanks for your kind words, as well.

    Is there a chance that Dr. Raymond Moody will be interviewed on your program? He’s just published a new book on his life experiences with the paranormal. I’ve always found him to be a fascinating speaker and very intellectually curious.

    Wonderful interview Bob! I wish it could have gone on for a few more hours, since Dr. Weiss is full of great knowledge on the subject. I have been a fan for years and his work has truly broadened my understanding and appreciation of the spiritual, and the afterlife. Please try to have him on again around the time the new book, that he’s co-written with his daughter is published. All the best to you Bob, and keep them coming.

    Hi Bob,

    Great interview with Dr. Weiss! I was intrigued by his comments about pre-birth planning, destiny and free will. Perhaps you can address these questions in one of your upcoming interviews: Everything I have read indicates that when a person dies, it is their time to go; there are no accidents. But what if the person who died was murdered? If the killer had free will to choose to kill or not to kill that person, how could it be that it was that person’s time to go? Logically, it would seem that a murder would have to be part of the pre-birth plan if it truly was that person’s time to go in that manner. Do you have any thoughts on that or have you read anything that might enlighten me? Thanks.

      Hi Maria,

      Thank you. My understanding of it is that our life ends when it’s time to go, but that it’s not set for any particular date or hour. Instead, our soul knows it’s time to go and with the assistance of our spirit guide(s), our soul waits for the proper “opportunity” for our life to end. That might be when a drunk driver is driving down the road, when we cross paths with a desperate person with a gun, when we push our damaged heart during stress, or when we’re choosing to buy plane tickets and there’s a plane that is going to crash. It’s complicated because our death must also align with the experiences that the souls of anyone else involved wants to have. In your example, however, each human being does have free will, so if the person who might have murdered us chooses not to kill us, our soul and guides will just find another opportunity for our physical death in the near future. For a more thorough explanation of this concept, you should watch my interview with Robert Schwartz, the author of Your Soul’s Plan: https://www.afterlifetv.com/2012/01/19/do-our-souls-plan-lifes-challenges-struggles-sufferings-before-birth/

    I do not know if you know much about Dianetics and Scientology. When he wrote the book Dianetics, L Ron Hubbard was sure that there was no such thing as reincarnation. Then he ran across people remembering things from before they were born and all that changed and then came Scientology. Yes it was great hearing from Dr Weiss and I had an experience with souls splitting before I even imagined such a thing. It was very strange for me to experience that this wooman and I used to be the same soul.

    Hi Bob,
    Fantastic site. Many great interviews. Dr. Weiss was a special treat though. As a kid I was very afraid of death, until one day, I was about 12 yrs old and my dad gave me Dr. Weiss book. Reading his book changed me for life, my fear of death totally disappeared. Which was a relief….

    Anita’s interview was also incredible. I loved her analogies.

    Thought provoking content!

    • Bob Olson says

      February 28, 2012 at 3:26 pm

      Hi Brian,

      I recommend having a session with a past-life regressionist, someone who traditionally uses hypnotherapy to guide someone through this experience. It’s possible to go through a group regression at some seminars or use a CD designed for this purpose, but I recommend using a skilled, experienced regressionist for a couple reasons. One, the regressionist is able to guide you according to your own, individual needs. For instance, you might need a longer induction to relax you or you might need him/her to use words that are more visual or kinesthetic, depending upon your personality. Two, and possibly more important, the regressionist can help you “process” the experience you have. If you remember a traumatic experience from a past life, for example, you might not know what to do with that past-life memory.

      Check out an article I wrote years ago about my first past-life regression: http://www.ofspirit.com/bobolson22.htm

      Bob

      Hi Jeannette,

      I’m glad you enjoyed Dr. Brian Weiss’ books. I really did too. The Google translation of your comment is not entirely clear, as I’m not sure if you’re writing about this life or a past life. I hope it’s a past life. Either way, I’m sorry for your suffering. Please keep in mind that life does change over time and things can get better for you. That is my wish for you. I think you’re asking where to get Brian Weiss’ CDs. If so, you can get them right from his website: http://www.brianweiss.com/cdinfo.html

    Hi,

    I have been always interested in mysteries of our life, occult, spirituality, etc., since my childhood. And i have seen almost all videos of Dr.Weiss on youtube. And i could really feel so much of spirituality in him.

    I have one thing to ask. Some astrologers predict our future with 99% accuaracy. And sometimes the astrologers also warn us about the upcoming tragic events in our lives, and i have heard that those predictions also came out to be true. And both astrology and hypnosis lead to one thing, which is “destiny.” So, i just want to know the role of past life regression in changing our destiny.
    Thanks

      Hi Nivedita,

      I don’t know the answer to that other than, yes, it’s believed by many in this field that everything is happening at the same time; therefore, by changing our future lives we can change our past. I don’t know this from personal experience, of course. But Brian Weiss has written a book on future lives, so you certainly should check it out, if you haven’t already. Thanks for your comment.

    Thank you for having Dr Weiss on your program his work is always amazing and please have him for another interview when his new book come out. All his book were fascinating to me. I have a sister who pass away with cerebral palsy when she was 13 year old and 10 year in that gap I was given birth to a Son and after I read all Dr Weiss book and I believe my Son soul is my sister soul. In this life my Son born a very intelligent young boy and life is easy for him. It is amazing same soul experiencing difficult and easy life, I have done pass life regression to confirm that, life is amazing. When He was 10 years old He told me when He grow up and earn money He would like to help people with the disability, that make me feel soo good.

    My dear Bob,
    Indeed I am, like any other mortal being, intrigued by the enigma of the continuum of existence. Certain things are to be understood in the heart and not in the dry reasoning brain. Life is more than living, it serves a purpose that we cannot comprehend as long as we are confined by our mortal grossness. I have a feeling that you and Dr. Weiss should be in touch with Ms. Dolores Canon, who has come out with the same realizations through the same analytical tool. Her books had fascinated me and today I stumbled on Dr. Weiss’ book- One soul many bodies- and happily I found a common thread in her and him. Though I cannot prove it with modern scientific methodology, I feel that life is a forgetting and life is a separation. We are troubled by an expatriate syndrome, an ineffable nostalgia. Our wold is elsewhere, beyond the phantasmagoria of time and space. I wonder how to procure the CD in India. From my poor end, I wish you all success and a fruitful career ahead.
    Sincerely
    alex

TO EXPLAIN IN SIMPLE WORDS OF WAT GIVEN IN OUR SCRIPTURES.. THERE ARE FOUR YUGAS WHICH IS NOTHING BUT TIME EACH YUGA GOES FOR SOME MILLON OF YEARS.. STARTING FROM SATYA YUGA WHERE EVERY THING IS PURE ONLY LOVE , FAITH AND TRUTH EVERY WHERE.. THEN COMES TRETA FOLLOWED BY DWAPARA AND KALI YUGA. RIGHT NOW ACCORDING TO OUR SCRIPTURE WE ARE ALMOST DONE 3/4TH OF THIS KALI YUGA. AS WE MOVE THROUGH THESE YUGAS TRUTH , LOVE WERE DILUTED AND WERE FILLED WITH VIOLENCE WAT WE ARE SEEING NOW..

    Dear Bob,

    Great interview. I love Dr Weiss – went to his 5 day course.

    My question: How do we know the mind is not manufacturing all of this ‘stuff’ just so we feel better about our life, as in there is ‘meaning’ when none really exists. I just have doubts whether all of this is a delusion.

    Thanks. Emma

      Hi Emma,

      That question is too big to answer fully here in a comment. What I can tell you is that personal experiences (versus vicarious experiences–learning about other people’s experiences) such as readings with a medium, meditation, past-life regressions and life-between-lives regressions can take you from skepticism or belief to a knowing. I can’t say how many experiences and what kinds of experiences it will take for any one person to get to knowing, but knowing eliminates this question and removes any doubt. Of course, we can have skepticism about some things and knowing about others. We don’t become knowers about all things. But reaching a place of knowing for one or two really helps one to no longer question these doubts.

      I hope that makes sense. To cover this subject properly, I would need a lot more space.

      Warmly,
      Bob

    Great website. I read Dr. Weiss’ book after the sudden murder of a loved one. She was a loving and caring soul and definitely advanced her journey towards the ultimate during this lifetime. The one thing I was trying to wrap my mind around is that of free will. Could situations as extreme be avoided with different decisions not only by the individual but other’s around that person. The difficulty I am having is if a person always takes the higher road, continues to show compassion love and care with every step I would have thought the positive free will decisions would render a more positive smoother departing. Bob was wondering if you had any thoughts, for furthering my development I want to know for the future how drastically my decisions could change the outcome for someone else. I keep wondering if I had made different decisions even simple ones if the outcome could have been avoided. Just trying to further my understanding. I take a lot of comfort knowing that this life is not all there is. Thank you.

I do not believe that being a good person means you won’t experience challenges or negativity in life. But I do believe that living by the Golden Rule will benefit you as the soul you are. And it will bring you joy in this lifetime, as well, from the act of being loving, fair and kind itself. It’s the premise behind the “Random Acts Of Kindness” movement. I hope that makes some sense to you. Keep watching these videos and you’ll understand it more and more. Thanks for your comment.

      Warmly,
      Bob

    I am a Buddhist and when I listened to Brian I felt like listening to Buddhist teaching by a researcher. Everything he described was taught by Lard Buddha 2500 yrs ago…. so amazing …. I am so happy as he mentioned (feel like in the right direction) one day I will be able to graduate to Nibbana by following four Noble truths and eight fold path taught in Buddhism.

    Wow……..

    Thank you that was wonderful …. I feel such a tremendous connection to all that was said in this Intreview, and as a Christian person I have always felt more spiritual and somehow ….. wanted and know that somewhere deep in my spirit that this is not it …. we will come back.
    As for myself I feel sometimes like I have experienced so much …. and yet wonder at times why things are so difficult today….. but like Dr. Weiss said … I am learning to become a much more forgiving person and also … Oh goddness so many things … but maybe just a better person.
    Thank you , thank you , thank you.

    kindly ,

    Edda

    I found your site a few days ago and really love it as I’ve always been interested in the afterlife. The only thing is I can’t keep away from it now, lol. I’ve spent many sleepless nights trying to work the afterlife out and mostly ending up back to the beginning. I found this interview very enjoyable and it answered a lot of my questions. As an animal lover there is one thing which is not completely clear to me yet. Do all animals also stay with us through every life? I really hope so. Sorry one more thing. I went to see a medium after one of my cats passed away. When I arrived the first thing she mentioned was a black and tan dog was waiting for me. I had never had a dog of that description so thought she had it completely wrong. Anyway about a year or so later I found a black and tan dog on the road, we named him Kyle and he is now a family member who we all love. I didn’t recall that at the time but a few months later remembered what she had said. Does this mean that Kyle was letting us know he was on his way to us?

      Hi Cathryn,

      I don’t believe our loved ones (people or pets) return to us in another body, but I do believe that our loved ones in spirit help to send new people and pets our way. All our relationships are each so very important and significant. So a new pet would have his/her own special gifts for us. That said, our pets in spirit are always with us and continue to share our lives in a new way from the spiritual dimension. It is up to us to remember them, talk to them, and “listen” to their guidance. Some of that guidance might come through your new pet, so don’t be surprised if your pet in spirit works through your new pet. At the same time, treat your new black and tan dog as a new family member with his own unique qualities. He is in your life for a reason, so love him and enjoy him for who he is. Now you have two loving pets, which is twice the love that you had before.

      This is just my belief. You certainly don’t need to accept it. But I hope it gives you a perspective that fills you with love and adoration for your new dog.

      Warmly,
      Bob

    Hi Bob,

    First, i would like to thank you for your work on the “after-life”, which is a subject of great interest to me as well. I enjoy hearing what each of your guests has to share on their take of the “life-after”. Your questions to them are always on point and a consensus of the audiences’ queries.

    Yet, there is one question that I have, which I have not heard an answer for. Perhaps you might like to consider this one, and if possible help me to understand that which I have not been able to figure out. Maybe, your guests might like to shed some light on this for those of us who struggle with it.

    We are comprised of several parts, such as, the body, the soul, the spirit, the mind, the personality/ego, etc. It is obvious that at physical death the body ceases to exist. The soul, with its inner core, the spirit, continues on as does the mind, which is our consciousness. i question what happens to the personality.

    Secondly, i question this. as it does not make sense to me. If we shed our personalities and experience our authentic selves (our inner selves: our soul/spirit essence), once we leave our physical bodies, for example – as Anita Morjani has described from her experience, does not the personality dissipate ?

    It seems to me that we return to the original state of our being, that is, a soul/spirit with a mind intact, free of our egos, which to me is synonymous with the personality. Hence, we would have no reason to return to earth in a new body for the purpose of refining our personalities, since the personality (ego) had ceased to exist at the end of the body’s life.

    Would you be so gracious as to help me understand all of this. Like you, I am devoted to a-quest-to-know-the-truth of the “after-life”. I , myself, have had several spiritual experiences for which i am most grateful.

    With sincere gratitude,
    Deborah

      Hi Deborah,

      Your question is a brilliant one, which is why it warrants an answer that requires more than I can offer in a comment reply. However, I believe I answer it fully in my upcoming book, which will be out in a couple months. If you can be patient, I believe what I teach in the book will satisfy you. In fact, it’s the reason I wrote it, because so many people have questions that can’t be answered fully in a comment section. So I decided to answer those questions and have them all in one place. If you join my newsletter, you’ll be the first to learn when it’s available: http://afterlifetv.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=3368933498150b34e1d03aff0&id=7372a7d965

      Thank you for asking such a smart question, and for watching Afterlife TV.

      Warmly,

    Hi Bob,

    I have read all of Brian’s books and found them fascinating. I have also read Dr. Michael Newton’s two books on “Life between Lives”. I think the work of these two authors are complementary in that we can know not just about past lives but also the lives we lead in the spirit world each time we die and till we reincarnate in the world again.
    If you have not already done so, I would urge you to interview Dr Newton. He is alive (80 yrs.) and lives in the USA.

      Hi Krish,

      I agree. I’ve tried but cannot get a response from Michael. If you know how to contact him, let him know I want him as a guest.

    Thanks so much for this insightful interview. I have a question though about animals. When Brian mentioned that our souls come back to help others with their spiritual progression including animals. I wonder how can animals need to progress spiritually? Because animals never sin or deliberately/knowingly do anything wrong. To me, animals don’t need any help because of their nature. What is your take on that? Thanks.

      Hi Janis,

      I can’t speak for Brian, but what I can say is that spiritual growth involves much more than behaving and even thinking without malice. Growth can also involve loving oneself, focusing on the present moment, living with gratitude, living courageously against fear, experiencing the oneness of our connections, and knowing our connection with a higher source, among other concepts. I have not heard this interview in some time, but I would not be surprised if Brian meant that souls return as animals to help others.

      This is certainly my understanding. Dogs, cats, horses, and all pets, for example, do more to guide us in our spiritual journeys than we do for them. Sadly most people have no idea how much assistance their pets are giving them in their growth. Mirroring is one of the common ways they do this. When my dog senses that I need to step away from my work and take a walk in the woods, she shows up at my desk and barks at me until I take her outside.

      I hope that was helpful.

      Warmly,
      Bob

    Wonderful answer Bob. I think too that that is what Brian meant. That certainly makes the most sense. I know my pets have taught me what real love is more than any human has ever done just because it is so unconditional. Thanks again, and for doing all you do. I’m so glad I found your website!
