Past Life Regression, Skepticism, and Self-Healing Through Hypnosis with Craig Meriwether

On Inner Light, certified clinical hypnotherapist and medical hypnosis specialist Craig Meriwether breaks down how clinical hypnosis and the spiritual track—past-life regression, soul memory, and life-between-lives work—can coexist without hype. From trauma release and pain management to research-informed methods (Weiss, Newton, Cannon), Craig explains how sessions prioritize healing and insight over belief, why many clients arrive after years of talk therapy, and how virtual sessions keep the work client-led and safe. We also unpack healthy skepticism, the “metaphor vs. memory” debate, and why intention—not dogma—drives results.

About the guest  

Craig Meriwether is a certified clinical hypnotherapist, medical hypnosis specialist, and founder of Arizona Integrative Hypnotherapy. He blends evidence-informed clinical practice with spiritual modalities like past-life regression and life-between-lives work. Author of Past Lives Guidebook.

Key takeaways:

• Hypnosis is client-led: the facilitator guides; the client’s subconscious drives the experience and integration.

• Solid foundation matters: Craig trained ~500 hours at the Hypnotherapy Academy of America—clinical first (trauma, anxiety, habits), then medical hypnosis, then regression work.

• Virtual sessions work well because comfort and safety at home deepen relaxation and recall.

• Curiosity vs. healing: many arrive intrigued by past lives; many also come after years of therapy seeking practical relief from anxiety, fear, or persistent patterns.

• On skepticism: treat past-life content as useful data—authentic memory for some, symbolic healing narrative for others; either way, focus on outcomes.

• Research anchors the work (e.g., case studies and large-N session patterns reported by Weiss/Newton/Cannon) while avoiding absolute claims.

• Intention over ideology: set goals (relief, clarity, purpose) and let the process surface what’s needed.

• Ethics: avoid deterministic “diagnoses” from regressions; integrate insights with grounded life choices and, where relevant, licensed care.

• Medical scope: hypnosis may support pain, stress, and coping; it is not a cure and should complement—not replace—medical treatment.

• Integration practices: journaling, reflection, and gentle follow-ups help translate session insights into daily behavior change.
