Past Lives, Future Healing: A Psychic Reveals the Secrets to Good Health and Great Relationships [Mass Market Paperback]

Sylvia Browne (Author), Lindsay Harrison (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2002

The one expert millions of readers have learned to trust, one of the few psychics instantly recognizable to television viewers, Sylvia Browne is back. She has proven herself, in her fifty years of working as a medium, to be the reigning queen of psychic phenomena. Here is an insightful look at how much of one's present life is informed by one's past lives, and how many health and relationship problems have their roots in unresolved past lives. From unexplained illnesses to bizarre phobias, from irrational anxieties and fears to the choice of partners, each can be traced back to past lives. Even birthmarks and recurring dreams are signs of issues from past lives. Sylvia helps readers recognize where their deep-rooted problems, fears, and hang-ups all began-and how to ultimately resolve them.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

You've got to hand it to the renowned celebrity psychic Sylvia Browne--she gives it straight from the gut and really doesn't give a hoot whether you believe her. As a result, it's hard to not be captivated and convinced by her firm belief in the afterlife, or in this case, the beforelife. Her writing is most riveting when she uses her storytelling voice, relating dialogue from client sessions that include past-life stories. In fact, she opens the book with a scene in which she follows the small clues offered by an agoraphobic to help him reveal that a past-life poisoning (when he was an Aztec ruler) had been crippling his present life. Throughout the book, Brown continues to use real-life client stories to show how past-life baggage can weigh down a present life. The final chapters offer how-to lessons on conducting your own past-life regression and healing sessions. Be warned: Browne's writing sometimes sounds like the channeled writing that was popular in the late 1980's: "The miraculous gift of eternity means that the singular essence that is you will always, always exist." But readers may forgive her these lapses, as she clearly writes from heartfelt convictions rather than a stylized formula. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Past Lives, Future Healing: A Psychic Reveals the Secrets to Good Health and Great Relationships (Hardcover)

Like many of Sylvia's books, this one just was as great! Sylvia discusses past lives and how personalities of people are carried over from lifetime to lifetime. Events such as how someone may have died may effect that person in another lifetime and it was interesting how Sylvia hypnotically regressed people through a past lifetime to discover things that person didn't know. It was a great book to understand phobias. Such as the fear of drowning or water. Perhaps Sylvia's client had drown in a past life and this time around it is pinpointed and resolved so that person can continue life more normally. Sylvia had put together a great collection of stories from her clients over the years to put together a book on how to become mentally stronger and deal with our fears, hostilities or negative influences to have a positive result. I couldn't put this book down and read it rather quickly as with other Sylvia Brown books, you won't be disappointed.

This review is from: Past Lives, Future Healing: A Psychic Reveals the Secrets to Good Health and Great Relationships (Hardcover)

This book is a wonderful example of the healing that is available to anyone, if they want it. The subject matter should not be taken lightly or played with for fun. This healing is very real, as Sylvia shows in her book. The examples are wonderful, with separated listings for physical, emotional problems and more. I've personally seen this type of healing work just as well and as easily as the book explains. Sylvia has her usual wonderful humorous comments throughout the book. But the subject matter is very well detailed and explained. She gives you hints along the way as to how to get the most healing from the experience. But please make sure that the hypnotherapist or psychologist/psychiatrist you elicit for this type of healing is qualified and trained to use it or your experience won't result in the healing you're looking for and your time and/or money is wasted. All in all, the book is very much worth reading whether you're looking for some new ideas in your practice, or whether you're reading it for future information or personal knowledge. Enjoy!

I've read many of Sylvia's books and I absolutely love her straight forward, no-holds barred way of putting her beliefs out there and to heck with whether anyone agrees or not! I think she is one of the most courageous people I've ever seen. This book delves more deeply into case examples of those who have had physical & emotional/mental problems that traditional medicine couldn't help. Through hypnotic regression, the client touches into lifetimes that relate to the physical symptoms to find *the point of entry* as Sylvia says, for these issues. She goes on to give us helpful suggestions as to how each of us can heal ourselves in this same way. I don't always agree with everything Sylvia presents but I think she's definitely on the right track with this book. I do healing work with clients and will be incorporating her ideas into my work to help people who can't seem to find relief from any other method. Sylvia is careful to say that past-life regression doesn't heal all things all the time. But at least try it first before you assure yourself that it's hooey. Amazing stuff Sylvia!
