Book Description Mirrors of Time, the new book by Dr.Brian Weiss, allows you to take regression therapy to the next level. A CD is included that goes beyond meditation and visualization exercises—it contains the actual regression techniques Dr.Weiss uses with his patients. Now you can go back through time by remembering past events that may have led to symptoms or difficulties in the present time. Through the process of remembering past events, symptoms diminish and a strong sense of peace and well-being often emerges. Even past-life memories can be elicited by these exercises, and regular practice will foster your physical and emotional health and will open up spiritual vistas that can endow your life with new meaning.
By reading Mirrors of Time and practicing the exercises on the CD, you will feel more peace, joy, and love in your life.
I'd really expect better from Dr WeissAugust 8, 2007 1 out of 5 found this review helpful
While I have always been an avid fan of Brian Weiss' work, his "Mirrors of Time" marks an all time low for the good doctor, in my estimation. Although I'm never surprised by the countless folks who think nothing of putting such "loaded guns" in the hands of unsuspecting seekers, I would have expected better, given his legendary experience with opening other peoples emotional "Pandora's boxes." The very idea that past life regression should be undertaken without the help of a trained professional strikes me as simply foolhardy.
And before critics jump in my face and say "What about you? You never employed any professionals to uncover your own past life information!" let me just say that my case was entirely different. I never went looking to explore this area so I didn't see any need for help. Although in retrospect, had I to do it all over again, I would certainly seek out the help of someone like Dr. Weiss. Had I done that I'm sure the whole process could have been handled a lot faster and less painfully.
In my own case, I never spent one day in trance or on a therapist's couch. Everything I learned about my past lives was literally shoved down my throat by a very powerful spirit guide who was hell-bent on forcing me to confront my own karmic issues. From the very outset he orchestrated my life in such a way that almost everyone in my current life, friends, lovers, wives, business partners, were people who had played some pivotal role in my former incarnations and had now returned to help me resolve the karmic issues, whether I consciously wanted to or not. In short, I didn't have much choice.
My own process of discovery began on a warm spring day in 1975 when my third wife returned to our apartment from the pool where she had been sunbathing in her skimpy bikini. I could tell immediately she was not feeling well but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong. Almost without thinking I suggested she may have picked up some psychic garbage out at the pool due to her scant attire, so I suggested she relax, close her eyes and recite an 800-year-old Greek Orthodox prayer reputed to dispel evil and quieten the mind. Within moments she was suddenly plunged into a spontaneous psychic vision in which she saw a very old monk dressed in red robes standing to my right.
As soon as she described him I was struck by his similarity to what a previous psychic had referred to years earlier as my "very powerful spirit guide." But before I could speak of this she reported that my features were morphing, first into a Prussian General, then into a Mongolian Warlord from the time of Genghis Khan. Next she reported seeing an inextricably terrifying amorphous blob of grayish-white energy off to my left.
A few months later we decided to take a seminar in psychic healing given by legendary psychic healer Ben Bibb. Everyday after lunch Bibb would ask for a volunteer to stand on the stage so the class could observe the person's aura, which amounted to describing different colors, and everyday my wife asked me to volunteer and I refused. On the fourth day a thick fog covered the landscape, only to clear just as we arrived at class. My wife insisted I volunteer that day or she would never speak to me again.
During the aura reading exercise the entire class reported seeing everything she had seen months earlier, and in exactly the same order and detail. According to Bibb the monk in red robes was indeed my spirit guide, the Prussian and Mongolian were personas from two of my past lives, and the blob of energy was a "familiar spirit," an artificial being created during a past life of high psychic development. When asked what familiars were used for he said they were usually used as psychic spies, though he had also heard of people using them to recharge dead batteries. Everyone laughed and I walked off the stage.
That afternoon, Bibb conducted us through a very deep guided meditation in which I found myself back in Mongolia, abducting a young girl on horseback whom I recognized as my current wife. None of us spoke a word as we left at the end of class, all of us still being in a very quiet state. Getting into our car I put my key in the ignition but nothing happened. Looking at the dash I realized I had forgotten to turn off the headlights when the fog cleared. The battery was dead. Without speaking a word I closed my eyes and ordered my familiar to climb into the battery. Two minutes later I started the car and drove away.
For the next 25 years I was continuously plagued by spontaneous encounters with "psychics" who seemed bent on answering all the questions I was too reluctant to ask about the events of these two previous lives. As the evidence continued to mount I eventually discovered my own tragic role in Genghis Khan's conquests as his nephew Yegu, and my role in World War I as Germany's Chief of the General Staff. In time I began to realize how the karma connected with the tragic events of these prior lifetimes had in fact shaped both the events and the relationships of my current life.
After documenting all this in my autobiography I was even able to substantiate many of the events described through historical research. My only regret is that my Guide had to drag me "kicking and screaming" just to get me to listen. I really could have used Dr Weiss' help, but not his "Mirrors of Time."

An intro to past live regressionJune 19, 2007 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this book because a friend attended one of Brian Weiss' workshops where they did a powerful past life regression. I thought this book and CD would be comparable to it. It wasn't. The CD is short and is very rushed. Every time I do the CD, I never feel like I have enough time. I feel like I am being yanked away right when I am starting to gain something.
The book is quite short too. The pages are beautiful and relaxing. Its a good read and very helpful.
great cdFebruary 1, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I use the CD everyday and it has helped me learn a lot. If you're new to self-hypnosis, this is a great starting point. And if you're not, this is great place to learn a past-life regression technique. Brian Weiss seemed to have put a bit of extra fluff in this one, but over-all I like it.

Don't like it as much as the Meditation CD. Haven't felt any regression while listening to this. Does help me relax, though.
