LAW OF KARMAS: THEORY BEHIND HYPNOTIC REGRESSION

Clinical Psychology, Hypnotic Regression & Laws of Karmas

Like a fish swimming in the water or a snake moving on sand, we leave behind footprints of our own karmas. These impressions are known as “sanskaras”. The epic Ramayana says that each individual is himself personally responsible for his happiness and miseries. “Kahu Na khwoo dukha – sukhakar data, Nij nij karm bhog sab bhrata” All beings reap the fruits of their own karmas. They rejoice or wail, weep and suffer because of their own doings. With each living being, God has provided an unerring and intelligent mechanism, which determines fruits of his actions. It is known as “Law of karma”. Like Newton’s Third Law of Motion, the law of Karma says that for every action, there is a reaction -- act well, get good facilities; act badly, get bad facilities. Sanskars are produced by each of three categories of karmas, known in spiritual parlance as – (i) Sanchit karmas (Involuntary Mental karmas) (ii) Prarabdha karmas (Karmas done with strong emotional involvement) and (iii) Kriyaman karmas (Physical Karmas). As the result of three types of karma or actions, there are three types of adverse reactions or sufferings (Dukhas): (1) Daivik dukhas (Mental Sufferings) (2) Daihik dukhas (Physical pain) (3) Bhutik Dukhas (Distress caused by natural disasters). In Hypnotic regression, the therapist leads a client to the causal segment of Sanchit Karma relevant to the symptoms i.e. Prarabdh Karma which produce healing. In present research paper the researcher discussed on the hypnotic regression as psychotherapy with explanation of “law of karma”.
