Imagine being hypnotized and taken to a land far, far away...not just physically, but subconsciously and not only distance-wise but historically. What if that place was locked deep within your subconscious and happened to be one of your past lives? It would change your life forever. In Brian Weiss' first book, he explores the realm of the impossible with a real-life patient of his he calls Catherine. When he first meets Catherine, she is suffering from tremendous phobias that have made her life riddled with pain since she can remember. He tries multiple different types of therapy, when he finally turns to the less renowned and highly controversial hypnotherapy, which to his surprise leads her not to her early childhood memories, but to life memories from many centuries ago on completely different continents.
He leads her through many different lifetimes, where she comes face-to-face with some people whom she holds very dear to her in this lifetime, also confronting the harsh realities of the origins of her worst fears present-day.
While she heals from her afflictions, she also learns important lessons about life, her faith and in turn, death.
This non-fiction changed everything I thought I knew about life and death. I read it when I was probably fifteen, again when I was eighteen, and once again this summer, along with the rest of the series of Weiss' including Only Love is Real, Same Soul, Many Bodies and Through Time into Healing.
Read them! I give them twelve thumbs up! Dr. Brian L. Weiss is the psychologist of the millenium!
