Another researcher doing a more scientific analysis of reincarnation. She took groups of people under hypnosis and then asked them to regress to one of five pre-chosen time periods from XXX BC to YYYY AD. She led them through non-leading questions to get them to observe the world around them, the culture, the dress, the customs, and then afterwards had them record their observations. The observations were consistent with the world, customs, culture and dress of those time periods. Sometimes the subjects reported that they were sure X wasn't actually present in that time period, but when Helen did follow up research, she found out that it actually was. I really liked her approach.

I enjoyed this book very much. The author organizes her client past life regressions into categories and culls that data in order to make sense of the phenomena of past life memories. I enjoy reincarnation research as a subject and am mystified why this book has never got the attention of "Many Lives, Many Masters". That book was focused on ONE patient and Helen's work is based on many clients. I guess that "Many Lives" just struck a chord or something when it was released.
This one is worth a read if you are curious about the subject.

Helen Wambach’s groundbreaking study of mass hypnotic regressions is a brief and fascinating book. She set out to disprove reincarnation by hypnotically regressing thousands of people to lives lived in specific historical periods, expecting to be able to record an inconsistent mess of fantasy and gibberish. What she found instead was a distribution of thousands of memories of past lives that included genders, locations, clothing, utensils, foods, and other small details which so perfectly matched the historical record that to have achieved these results by chance was nearly mathematically impossible.

"The year was 1966; the place was Mount Holly, New Jersey." I knew I had to read this when I saw that the very first line mentions a town I'm very familiar with. Although after the first few pages that's about it. Anyway, past life regression is a subject of much interest to me and I enjoyed this book because it's objective. Dr. Wambach presents data and statistics from her case study on past life experiences through hypnosis and compares it to the history books, and the findings are pretty fascinating. It's pretty cut and dry, but I would recommend this to anyone interested in scientific research on reincarnation.

Interesting case studies on past life regression. I'm interested to learn more about it after reading this book. Pretty easy read with all the data collected in the last few chapters.

I give it a 5 on subject matter and the research that went into it. Very compelling. Blew my mind.

It's a must read: skim to the life reports by her clients

I have read many books including by Newton Weis Martini at cetera and this was discovered as a must-read by all of them. Her very and sometimes overly scientific approach is necessary and annoying but her recording of the lives lived of her storytellers of their lives is nothing short of totally convincing in my opinion. I felt like I was living in 1500 BC. Not a perfect book but essential for your reading in this area.

Interesting and informative

I enjoyed the varied and intensely statistical and methodical approach the author used in reporting past life hypnotic recall. Her many case studies and patterns of client experiences prove there is more to our right brains than we could ever imagine.

The beginning of this book was fascinating for me. It was exciting to follow Wambach through her research gathering. The second half of the book got into her data gathering and processing the data and honestly, I lost interest and didn't finish it. It was cool to hear about the evidence she was collecting, but I'm sure there are better reads out there on this topic.

Interesting...not definitive.

The author started her research at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, NJ, so that was an immediate connection. Wambach began to use hypnosis to help patients overcome phobias and, after witnessing the positive results of some past-life regressions, she decided to investigate the whole phenomena. She scientifically designed the questions, patient samples, etc. and then statistically analyzed the results in an attempt to answer the age-old question of whether past-life memories are real or constructed.

[Regan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting read. I like her tracking of different cultures. As a hypnotherapist who has done regression work I'm not so sure about her approach using the moment of death in a past life. She reportedly (in the book) had some good results using it but unless I was very, very sure of the emotional stability of the person I'm not sure I'd go that route. And, there is always the risk of mental instability in a past life -- would those memories trigger less than acceptable reactions in the present life.

Di questo libro mi è piaciuta l'intenzione dell'autrice di condurre uno studio rigoroso sul fenomeno della reincarnazione, facendo regressioni ipnotiche individuali e di gruppo, e il fatto di aver raccolto e illustrato le sue conclusioni sotto forma di grafici e tabelle con tanto di percentuali. È evidente lo sforzo di comprendere il fenomeno in chiave scientifica, senza accettare per oro colato quanto detto. Nel complesso ne emerge un quadro abbastanza obiettivo ed è una lettura decisamente consigliata a quanti si interessano di reincarnazione.

When I was in high school, someone did an oral report on a book about hypnosis and past lives. Ever since then I have wanted to read that book. I was hoping this was it, but it was not. This book was interesting and I like the research involved in it. Makes you want to go out and see if you see your past lives under hypnosis!

That it might be interesting to be hypnotized some day.

Intriguing, thought-provoking, challenging the status quo. Recommended.
