alignment - the resolution of prior trauma which removes the influence of that past trauma from current behavior

birth trauma - the subjective experiences for the baby which occur during the process of delivery and form unconscious survival patterns

childhood and past lives - the awareness of past lives for children usually fades around the ages of four to six.  However, they are easily retrived if the child is allowed to feel free and safe

childhood reincarnation memories - these memories of past lives are readily available to children during the first 3-5 years of life. They often include imaginary playmates and highly creative imaginations.  Children can be asked questions about these "imaginary lives" and they will often give striking detail that demonstrates knowledge that a child of this age would not "normally" have.

fetal memories - memories coming from the third month through the ninth month during pregnancy when the developing embryo becomes fetal; during regression therapy, many adults will recount events that occurred while in the womb that can later be confirmed by the mother. Certain traumatic memories can have profound effects during a person's lifetime.  (also called womb memories)

holotropic therapy - a therapy that expands the mind beyond the conscious, cognitive mind to include spiritual and metaphysical sources

hypnotism - the use of a process which redirects or depotentiates the cerebral function thus allowing new information to be accepted without critical evaluation

hypnotic regression - hypnotic regression uses a process of redirected focus to bypass the cognitive mind thus revealing unconscious events

leak or leak through - a covert unconscious influence from a past life alters true reality today

prenatal regression - the process by which thoughts, emotions, and events during pregnancy are discovered to reveal a life path.

past life regression - the process by which prior experiences are brought into focus

past life therapy - an experiential process which accesses prior existences to resolve unresolved traumas from those lives

past life traumas - experiences occurring in prior incarnations that exert negative influences in current times

past lives - prior earthly existences during which spiritual identity is in physical form

recall - any memory of an event prior to current time

soul memory retrieval - another description of regression. The soul is believed to have fragmented during past traumas and must be reintegrated.

spontaneous recall or recollection - similar to leaks, these memories come without conscious effort to bring them to the surface. They usually occur when current experiences are strongly sugestives of a prior trauma or prior relationships

subconscious - a level of mind-brain information which connects conscious and unconscious motivations

survival patterns - behavior patterns in the current life that reflect past life traumas or experiences that have not been resolved; many of these survival patterns can be destructive, such as addictions, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive behaviors, spousal or child abuse, self-mutilation, chronic pain or illness, or other self-defeating patterns of behavior that on some deep level are perceived as "necessary" for survival.  Past life therapy strives to bring these unresolved traumas into alignment with present time so that the negative survival patterns are no longer necessary in the current lifetime
