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...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 ...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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
I don't know if I believe in reincarnation, but some of these stories did give me chills.

To be read after Many Lives, Many Masters
Yet another good, insightful Weiss book that left me pondering new things about the world and myself.
I loved this book. Check it out!
A book of Self healing
This book narrates many stories of hope about the past,
present and future of people. It is touching and gripping.

I have met Brian at workshops. He is a gentle and kind man. He writes about cases and how we can heal thru past life regressions. (Which he is well noted ) And this book deals with looking into future lives, to see how life will be if we don't change how we are doing in our present life. It is thought provoking to think about our attitudes, and how limiting predjudice and hate is. He Makes you realize that you truly are responsible for your life thru your choices.
For me it is just another off shoot of Many Lives, Many Masters- some of the material is repeated but I am finding the subject matter utterly fascinating.
I found the pages very comforting that there may be more out there then we think, and the fact that he was a skeptic makes me like him even more.

Another book for the new age crowd. Brian Weiss continues to document his experience with patients in his psychiatric practice who evidence past lives through their therapy sessions. Interested in what came before and after your present life? Check out Weiss's books!
I'm not sure I believe in future progression, but meditating on possible future outcomes of your actions seems wise. however your subconcious chooses to give you the message, it's a powerful message that can change your life. this is a quick read that I won't soon forget.
Reincarnation.
I would feel better about this if the author weren't making a pot full of money doing smarmy seminars all over the country. I don't blame him for making money, but everything he says his "research" has found must be interpreted in the light of his hucksterism.

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 ...more
