helps you discover and learn meditation and regression techniques. The meditations utilize powerful imagery to promote physical, mental, and spiritual healing and renewal; profound relaxation; and deeper self-understanding. The regressions provide different techniques for retrieval of memories from this lifetime and prior lifetimes, as well as methods to access spiritual states and inner wisdom. (The other two CDs in this series are: REGRESSION TO TIMES AND PLACES and REGRESSION THROUGH THE MIRRORS OF TIME.)
SPIRITUAL PROGRESS THROUGH REGRESSIONis an extended regression in which Dr. Brian L. Weiss leads you to a childhood experience, in utero memories, and then through a doorway to a previous lifetime. Then through powerful imagery, you’re able to view scenes from even more past lives, each shedding light on your spiritual progress in this life . . . helping you attain peace, understanding, and joy.
In the meditation, you’ll be led on a journey to an island of healing with crystal waters and dolphins, providing you with a treasure chest of manifestation, and introducing you to your spiritual guides—helping you gain greater insight into your physical, emotional, and spiritual fulfillment.
Best Relaxation CD I ownMay 31, 2008 bunnyrabbit4(New Orleans, LA USA) 80 out of 80 found this review helpful
This is the first five star review I've written on something that has put me to sleep on numerous occasions. Dr. Weiss's voice is very soothing and the content, with a few work-arounds, easy to follow. This CD contains two sessions and uses music and ambient ocean sounds which ebb and flow appropriately under his voice. The total runtime is about 60 minutes. Remember that CD's like this are generic sessions. Dr. Weiss can get too wordy at times and/or you may find that you have gone ahead of him and just want him to keep quiet. Your experience needs to be self paced. Use a player with a remote and keep one finger on the pause button. Here is a description of program 1 and some of my reactions to it.
Both programs start with a relaxation and healing exercise. He then says, let your mind journey back in time and go deeper to a count of 10. He tells you to go down a beautiful staircase and again does another count. My mind leads me to a peaceful darkness because of the emphasis on the words "down" and "deeper", but he then describes a garden which is beautiful and light-filled and I have to pause the tape to reorient.
The garden is there to return to if anything upsets you while you do the regressions. He then asks you to go back to a happy moment in childhood. If your childhood was generally painful, I suggest that you pick something ahead of time. I found a dim memory of feeding a baby deer at a roadside park to use here.
Next he goes back to the womb and asks why you picked your parents. Pause the CD and see what comes. He says quite a few things in quick succession here, too much to maintain the previous level of serenity.
Next he asks, "How were you received into the physical world?" In response I had an unusually vivid experience. The staff who delivered me spoke little and seemed coldly efficient. I felt as if no one could relate to me and I was totally on my own. After the session I thought about this and remembered that my mother had been a much feared OB/GYN supervisor at the hospital where I was born. I'm sure they were aware of being judged and watched. This was the most important discovery I had while using this CD. I remembered having these same feelings and situations repeat often in childhood. I recently learned that research indicates that children with traumatic births can suffer numerous psychological issues. I would encourage you to take this part seriously and ask yourself if the treatment you recieved mirrors any later personality traits.
He then asks you to go through a door into your past lives or other dimensions. He describes going through the door in five steps. You may find that your vision runs well ahead of his dialog on this suggestion and need to pause again. He goes through several incarnations. I flashed on two historical settings that were quite detailed. A psychic once told me that I had held powerful governmental positions in several lifetimes (probably why I have no faith in politics now!). In both regression images I was man, one a U.S Governor from the 16 or 17 hundreds and the other a red coated British officer on a horse. Both were fleeting images of historically accurate outfits that I would not have imagined on my own.
He then describes meeting an angel and discussing how to let go of all your problems and negative feelings. The angel gives you a string of pearls, each representing a lifetime. You are told to look at each and see the life represented. The angel then shows you a screen that can broadcast images of your lives. The idea here is to give you several ways to connect with images but the dialog moves very fast and I didn't find it as useful as the earlier exercise. He ends with a meditation on our oneness with the earth that I found a bit too wordy for a meditation. He then wakes you up to a count of 10
The setting for program 2 reminded me a great deal of Jung's near death experience in which he met with a committee who was there to help him process his earthly existence. If you research "Jung and near death" you can find out more about that.

Awesome. Brian has the perfect voice for this kind of thing anyway. The first time I did this one, I went back to where I was floating in the womb. That might sound like BS, but it was my experience and was extremely peaceful. I carried that peace all the next day. This CD is part of a series of 3. I have all 3. I love them all and will be doing reviews on the other two as soon as I get a chance.
Brian is a graduate of Columbia University and Yale Medical School. Part of his private practice is in hypnotic regression therapy. The back of the CD cover states that this CD takes you to a childhood experience, then to in utero memories, then through a doorway to a previous lifetime. I have tried it several times and my conscious mind has not gone past the in utero experience yet. (I zonk out and my subconscious takes over.) With meditation or subliminal programming CDs, I believe that they work on the subconscious level, even if you fall asleep. Even if you think that is baloney, then not only did I have a very peaceful sleep, but felt very peaceful the next day. Given my current stress level at work, that is quite an accomplishment.
I recently attended a conference where Dr. Weiss was a featured speaker, along with John Holland and Candy Diaz. All 3 of them were great. That conference was actually where I bought the 3 CDs, but they are less expensive at Amazon. I continue to be very pleased with the HayHouse authors I have found. Brian Weiss is one of several.
My 15-year old granddaughter wanted to try this out, so I set my little Crystal (born 1993) up with my Bose earphones and this CD. I closed the bedroom door, but kept checking on her. I observed the same intense peace all over her face that I experienced. I also observed that she was experiencing something because of the occassional twitching and eye movement. When we talked, she also remembered only to the floating in the womb experience.
Update August 2008: Granddaughter is still loving this CD. Looks like I am going to have to get her her own copy, cause she ain't gettin' mine to take home.
Update October 2008: I gave this CD as a birthday present to a good friend. He has a lot of stress in his life and often has problems sleeping. I am happy to report this CD has not only given him peaceful visual rememberances but has helped him sleep much better and relax much more.
Update January 2009: I finally made it to a meditational experience where I was sitting somewhere and saw my mother (approx age 30)on a screen. I was being told that she would be my mother. It was like I was watching a movie but I was the only one watching the show. I was also told something about my father and could mentally see him but he was not on the screen. I knew I was meditating and I was not asleep. Pretty Cool, huh?)

I'm simply awed by the results I received from listening to this CD right before bed. I usually
listen twice...and by the middle of the second go-round, I'm not only falling asleep, I'm totally
aware that every muscle in my body has relaxed and prepared me to have a good night's
sleep. I've had amazing dreams after listening to Dr. Weiss's soothing voice. More astounding
is that I've awakened the next morning feeling restored...hopeful, grounded and out of pain. I've had a long standing injury that is starting to actually heal since I'm listening to this CD. I recommend it highly
for people who want to calm down at the end of the day and prepare themselves for a blissful
night's sleep. As far as the regression part of this, although I don't get strong impressions ,it doesn't
matter. I feel my soul is responding to Dr. Weiss's suggestions and I have found a powerful meditation
program!
wonderful meditationDecember 31, 2008 Karen L. Challender(Northern Michigan) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Very soothing and relaxing mediation cd.. There's two programs on it, both very good, but I personally prefer the 2nd program... Dr Wiess's voice is so soothing and easy to listen to, I love his Cd's, as well as his books.
I read in one of the other reviews that someone felt he moved along too quickly and it was hard to keep up with him. I can understand how someone could feel like that, but if you listen to it on a regular basis, you get to the point where you know what's coming and it's very easy to follow.. My biggest problem is falling asleep listening to it! I usually listen when I go to bed, usually fall asleep listening to it, but then I listen to it again when I wake in the morning. I always wake early so it's just a nice way to start my day. I have all three Cd's, which I rotate, as well as most of his books.. I'd suggest reading at least his first book, Many Lives, Many Masters before listening to the Cd, but only because it would help to understand where he's trying to get you to go.. But even if you didn't read any of his books, I'd still recommend this to anyone on a spiritual journey or interested in meditation. I couldn't be happier with his books and Cd's, and hope that one day I'll get to see him in person!
Favorite!December 16, 2008 MEJ(Seattle, WA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have all of Dr. Brian Weiss' recordings, which I love. I particularly like the background music on this CD, which is a sort of Twilight Zone made more New Age drone. My second favorite is the Stress Reduction disc associated with a book, that feaures Steve Halpern's piano noodling.
