Summary: There is so much more to life...
Review: I admit to reading anything and everything by Weiss, so maybe I'm biased but I loved this book. He tells us how to reach into the depths of our soul to transform our everyday life. I find inspiration in all of his books and recommend them highly!

Summary: You are so much more than your current ego- AWAKE!
Review: I found that this book is really a continuation of _Many Lives, Many Masters_. However, instead of focusing upon a single case study, this time the author covers many cases of hypnotic regression. There are several reasons for these regressions arranged by section: healing physical problems, healing relationships, healing the inner and abused child, correcting obesity and eating disorders, correcting substance abuse, achieving mystical or spiritual insights, and regression simply to enrich one's overall experience of the wonder of life. The cases examined tend to be brief but to the point.The last chapter covers the technique of hypnotic regression (both conventional and past-life) in more detail. Additional techniques of past-life exploration are also examined such as dream analysis, meditation and visualization, self-awareness techniques, and "play" techniques. It is significant that the author emphasizes that regression can usually be safely achieved by self-hypnosis without benefit of an "expert." In fact, the appendix contains the transcript for a self-hypnosis tape (do NOT listen to it in the car!) There are also some more extensive historical and philosophical insights in this book. this includes the fact that reincarnation was initially accepted by the Christian faith until it became the state religion of Rome. Both the Emperor Constantine, as well as the later church hierarchy, rejected the doctrine for political and control reasons. It is also pointed out that an underground of mystical movements such as the Gnostics, Cathars, Sufis, and Kabbalists have always accepted reincarnation as a core spiritual belief (indeed, life hardly makes sense with out it.) One additional note: Dr. Weiss actually found out who the "Robert Jarrod" was that needed his help from his previous experience with Catherine. All in all, I found this book to be even more interesting and informative than Many Lives, Many Masters.

Summary: Read all three books in a weekend -- Fascinated
Review: I read all three of Dr. Weiss' books over the weekend. I was totally mesmerized! I have always felt that I have lived before & these books totally strengthed that belief.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I recommend this book to anyone who is open minded and aware that there is more out there. It's great to see that a professional such as Dr. Weiss came out to write a book about his experiences such as this. I applaud him!

Summary: Same old, same old.
Review: There is very little new in this book. It's all been said before in Dr. Weiss's other books. Save your money.

Summary: An Enchanting Book
Review: This book is the second in the series of books that Brian Weiss has written on reincarnation. His first "Many Lives, Many Masters" chronicals his discovery of the potential for regression therapy, to allow patients to explore past lives, not just earlier times in this life. In Many Lives, Many Masters, he has one patient Catherine, that regression therapy aids with some of her psychological problems. This discovery challenges some of Dr. Weiss' previously held beliefs and leads him to using the technique further to test the validity of this apparent past life memory. In Many Lives, Many masters this is done annecdotally and not very scientifically. However, the story flows and glues you to the page. He explores Catherine's lives as well as his own reactions to this information. With Through Time into Healing, Dr. Weiss's light treatment of his new found cure gets even lighter. The book tells of case after case (his and his colleagues) where patients have been healed using regression therapy. The connection as to why they are healed is mere supposition. Many facts are very light. I would say this book has over 100 (if not more) cases being recounted. The are categorizes by the type of healing needed. This makes for tedious reading after the 25th believe me. The table of Contents is below: The beginning Hypnosis and Regression Through experience into Understanding Healing the body by healing the mind Healing Troubled Relationships Healing the Inner Child and the Abused Child Healing the need to Protect: Uncovering the sources of Obesity and Substance Abuse Healing the Grieving Opening the Mind to the Power of Mystical Experiences Enriching your life The Techniques of Regression Finally in the last chapter he discussed the technique and provides the dialogue that you can record to put your self in a hypnotic trance and attempt to regress. There are many caveats and suggestions why you may not succeed or find other than what you anticipated. It is a start. I have not yet tried the regression technique yet, but I will. If it works I will write another review. I was very disappointed in this book, in the sense that as a trained therapist, he brought little science or technique to the various stories being told. As Many Lives, Many Masters enthused me, this book disappointed me. I expected more from a man trained in the field of psychiatry. He many be a believer in past lives now, but he seems to have ditched his previous scientific leanings which would have offered so much more credence to this concept.

Summary: Laughable tripe
Review: This book was recommended to me by a doctor who is helping me with my depression by prescribing anti-depressent drugs for me. Now I'm embarrassed for having bought it. This book claims that past life regression therapy can not only aid one psychologically, but it is also a cure for back pain, tension headaches, and, yes, cancer. (Funny how the rest of the media has ignored this story!)The author gives plenty of "examples" of people being helped (first names only, naturally),and claims that after his first book, he was flooded with mail from other pyschoanalysts who agreed with him but were afraid to go public (so, of course, he doesn't name any of them). After this book, I need a dose of common sense, let me find some Carl Sagan!
