This is the book – or more specifically the book signing that led me to make an appointment with Valerie. It’s a fascinating story line in my life but there are better and clearer stories in Same Soul, Many Bodies.
Brian Weiss while looking into past lives noticed that sometimes people talk about the future as well! It’s impossible to verify the truth of the future like the past. In his interpretation, the future is not concrete but an infinite number of possibilities and choices. It is mind bogg...more

My mom's gotten into new age stuff, and I borrowed this one from her. It's hard to believe in reincarnation, much less the multiple universe of souls and the "Masters" that the author talks about. Yet, if his stories about what people experience under hypnosis is even half true... then it's really amazing. As he notes, it doesn't matter if people really experienced those past or future lives; but the metaphor and the emotions they gain from those insights can and often does heal their current pr...more
Very disappointing read for a book I'd had such high anticipation to receive. While I understand the author's intent in using his own case files as examples, I felt the stories for every case were the same one retold over and over again. (Which is rather funny considering it was a book on reincarnation.) Rather than focus on many different eras, it felt like the author was locked into one particular era repeatedly. I finally had to put the book aside one-third of the way through.
This is a fascinating book on past and future life regression by a well respected psychologist. He gives case studies of a few well-chosen clients. It was very interesting to learn how helpful regression can be to people. They regress to a past life and are then able to understand their current lives more clearly. It can actually make huge positive changes in their current lives.

Another fantastic book by Brian Weiss. I am a complete believer in reincarnation after reading almost all of his books. He once was a complete skeptic, but after too much evidence of continued lives in different roles with the same spirit groups could no longer deny patient after patient regressing and progressing to past and now future lives. Again, the message, it is all about love.
In this book Dr. Weiss shows us how to look into the future and what our lives ahead may look like. What an exciting concept!!
According to Dr. Weiss, we can influence the outcome of our future lives and at the same time bring greater joy and healing to our current lives. Under hypnosis, Dr. Weiss uses progression therapy, guiding patients through the future in a scientific, responsible and healing way.

While the first book from this author was interesting to me, this one felt a bit preachy. The author, a self-proclaimed man of science, offers only anecdotal "evidence" of lives that go on after death. I read the first book many years ago and didn't have a problem with the concept of having lived before. But in this book, the author takes his hypnotized patients into possible future lives to help them get a handle on this one. I found that to be a bit hokey and he goes on and on about how to liv...more
I'm only giving this 4 stars because I can't prove it! LOL But in general, I agree with the Dr. Weiss in that the healing power is what matters more...reality or not. I found this book creepy at first, but then as I went on reading...I couldn't put it down. I could relate to many stories in it and a lot of things in my life actually does make sense in consideration to what the book has taught me. To me, this book is interesting...even though I can't fully say I believe in it.
Skeptic or believer, this book makes you think. Being of an open mind, my imagination got quite a workout over the 24 hours it took me to read. I appreciate that the author takes a very realistic view of his own work; I was able to respect him and enjoyed his humble voice. Overall, the stories rang true, whether in a literal or metaphorical sense. I ordered more of Weiss's books, so he succeeded in piquing my curiosity and making me eager to further my understanding of his work.
This book is mostly made up of case studies from Weiss's psychospiritual therapy sessions. He uses examples of past-life regression therapy to illustrate the many different lessons we are to learn during our time on earth, such as compassion, empathy, and nonviolence.. In addition to past-life regressions, Weiss also describes his practice of using progressive therapy to guide patients toward the visualization of possible future outcomes, and explains how the choices we make now affect our futur

This book was also as intriguing as Many Lives...... I really enjoy that Brian Weiss talks about how he helps his patient though not only Past Lives, but that for many it is helpful to look at the future. Like the other book, it is a fast read. Whether you believe in reincarnation or not, it is an interesting concept. I really would like to think that soul's need to progress to the point where we say " That is an old soul. She has wisdom beyond her years."
Falls in line with series of books written by Brian- elaborating more on specific emotions/patterns(anger, hatred, love, relationships etc) vs past life regressed stories. Interconnects past life regression to purpose of life and finally talks about progressions to help in "decision making" when faced with dilemmas and quandaries. Opens a broader perspective on grand schema of things. I could not keep the book off once taken up for reading!
Everybody is familiar with past life regression; however, I was not enlightened about future progression both within a current lifetime and lives to come. The Utopian vision in about a thousand years sounds awesome. Too bad many don't realize that they create their own reality and can change their karma and their lives for the better by replacing fear and doubt with love and faith.

I read this book quite a while ago but was reminded out of it recently. I understand it as a reminder not to identify self with body. I think it was in some of Lynn McTaggart's books or maybe her blog that I saw an interesting alternative idea that these other (past?) lives may not be ours, but may somehow be something we tune into or intercept in some other way--static in the Field.
This book sounds really out there and maybe it it is. But at a time when I was struggling with faith and finding comfort in this life; the one place I found it was this book. Something about Weiss' style makes his theories and experiences REAL and easily adoptable. The messages change the way that I look at life. This book profoundly changed the way I was feeling.
Love this book, takes you through many journeys and helping me to see that we do have many lives that we have lived before. Some you remember and some you don't. After losing my son to a tragic death, I can see where he had a long journey to make and will be back some day - don't know if we will ever meet again but one day we will be reunited in heaven.
Having experienced "deja vu" dreams when I was younger, one of my old college roommates (who has since graduated) recommended this as a read, and it was really a fascinating journey into a world that most are not ready to explore. The results from those who have experienced what the author has explored with his patients is life-affirming.
I'm not sure whether I believe in past lives but I don't disbelieve ... I'm open, I guess.
It was interesting to read about Dr. Weiss' patients and what they perceived to be their past and future lives. If nothing else, hopefully they can use this information to make their lives better and give them hope.
Do you believe in past lives?

Really love the idea that this book embodies. However, the constant reincarnation stories are very similar and lack, in my opinion, the gripping fascination that past-life reincarnations often hold. Overall, I did not feel I learned much of anything new or read a plot line that has not been told. Felt very un-genuine.
Humanity our behavior limiting our behavior when we start to use our collective consciousness we will achieve more peaceful and idyllic world. Our fate is to be immortal but unfortunately not everyone understands how to get their . Amazing and yes life changing book.
Weiss presents an interesting case for healing patients by going back and forward in time to review what might be causing blocks in the present life time. I enjoyed the patient stories under the chapter headings of security, anger management, and relationships.
The author, Brian Weiss, practices past life regression to heal problems that we’ve brought forward to this current life. What I found interesting was his look at pro-gression, ie, a look at future life possibilities in order to focus on problems that need addressing now. I’m not so sure it adds value to my life – there are so many modalities for knowing the self and people find what works for them. I did appreciate this quote: “You are not the same person you were five years ago … and neither a...more
I just LOVE these kinds of books. Call me crazy, but could there be something to this? I've read his "Many Live, Many Masters" a few years ago on recommendation from my sister. Wonderful reading.

If the idea of hypnotically regressing to past lives sounds hokey, then the idea of PROGRESSING to future lives is just over the top! But a friend whose judgment I respect recommended this book, so I gave it a try. While the author believes in reincarnation, he doesn't force his beliefs. He suggests you can take this method as a Jungian-based therapy (my interpretation wherein the patient explores his/her archetypes through hypnosis, projecting future selves that might result from the patient's...more
Incredible....his books are life changing. I feel so comforted by his words. My good friend read this after her friend died in a fire and it helped her tremendously.
I may have written this review in a past life or waiting for my future self in five seconds to have finished this review. Right, so Dr. Weiss gets super depressed patients and fixes them through progression or regression therapy where they see their past or future selves. This means they figure out how to eliminate their problems that their soul has carried with it for the past four lives otherwise the soul will continue on with the same problems in a future body.

Very easy read. If I could give it more stars I would! A few years back, I caught Dr. Brian Weiss on Oprah and I found him interesting. Here he was a pychologist who was so vehementally against the thought that we reincarnate, only to have his opinion reversed as he hypnotized some of his patients as a part of their healing. If you ever thought that reincarnation was a possibility, than this book is worth reading.
Great read for any person willing to open their mind and look at options beyond basic systems of belief learned as a child or adult.
Me parecio muy bueno. Brian Weiss, tiene la cualidad de engancharte con varios de sus libros.
The book shares the authors journey in his own practice. Very interesting read.

As a traditional psychotherapist, Dr. Brian Weiss was astonished and skeptical when one of his patients began recalling past-life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. His skepticism was eroded, however, when she began to channel messages from "the space between lives," which contained remarkable revelations about Dr. Weiss's family and his dead son....more
