This series of articles addresses some new and powerful applications of Past Life Regression (henceforth referred to as PLR) therapy. In the last article we showed how past life creative abilities can be brought forward to increase our skills and abilities in present life. This article will address how we can discover and change our patterns of luck by altering patterns of karmic suffering that were generated by the acts committed in past lives.

For centuries the advanced religions of the east and the writings and teachings of innumerable spiritual masters have taught that the patterns of suffering or fortune we experience are the direct result of the "karma" (good or evil deeds) we have accumulated in past lives. This philosophical perspective is possibly the only way one can reconcile one's belief in the existence of an omnipotent creator with compassion for all His/Her creations with the vast realms of suffering, especially of innocent children, in our world. But for many the word "karma" is far more than a mere philosophy. Many clients of PLR therapy have seen horrific and often unsolicited visions of terrible things they have done to others. And they have seen these visions when searching in the subconscious mind for the cause of their present life problems.

Until recently, however, no systematic training or procedures have been developed for finding, and solving, the negative karma that underlies our patterns of suffering. In 1983, I began developing this technology for the first time at a hypnotherapy training program. Since then I have used "Overt Acts Process", as I call it, to address a host of problems, from chronic and life-threatening illness also chronic relationship problems, to patterns of repeating financial disaster. Many of these problems have benefited greatly with overt acts process (OAP). Here's how it works.

The first step in OAP is to determine whether the client's issue is an appropriate one for this method. What we are looking for is not anything about the client's behavior, but rather a consistent pattern of bad luck that has followed the client, in most cases for years. If a client asks the question "Why does this always happen to me?" Then OAP could give them the answer
