Is past life regression a legitimate and scientific approach to better understanding the human condition? In this episode of Disrupt Reality, host Tonya Dawn Recla talks with Joanne DiMaggio about her work in the field of past life regression. Joanne earned her Masters in Transpersonal Studies degree and her Spiritual Mentor certification through Atlantic University. She works with past life regression to aid clients in walking further down their spiritual paths. Listen now to find out about how you can harness the power of past life regression in your own journey.
Hello, everyone. This is Tonya Dawn Recla, your Super Power Expert, and you’re in for such a treat today. We’re going to have this amazing, yummy experience right now with just a delightful woman, Joanne DiMaggio, who as soon as I let her speak here in a second, you’ll just feel it. This opening up. We were talking a little bit before the show and just the inquiry, the bright-eyed looking out in wonderment at the world with this real solid sense. It’s delightful. So, I think you’re going to really, really enjoy this. We’re talking today about the science of past life regression. We hear it all the time. It’s this thing like, Is this possible? What does this mean? Have you? And I don’t know, have you? Maybe there’s like a club and we could have a secret handshake if you remember your past lives. If you don’t, who knows.
All kinds of theories, and that’s what I really love about what Joanne DiMaggio brings to the dialogue is this desire to learn and to grow and to bring that information forward and to be in the inquiry of it and the investigation of it, which of course is near and dear to my heart. So, without further ado, please join me in welcoming to the show, Joanne DiMaggio. Joanne, thank you so much for spending some time with us today.
Oh, it’s my pleasure. I’ve been looking forward to that.
Oh, very cool. Well, so have we because for some people it’s kind of a weird thing and for others, it’s weird that it’s a weird thing. So, we’re going to really get into that yumminess here in a second, but first, we’re going to ask you, what are your superpowers?
Well, as I put on my website, I like to think of myself as a reporter for the universe.
I love that. I love it.
I just have the ability to spot a story, to know how to dig a little deeper and ask the right questions, and then put it all together so that it makes sense to the average person.
Beautiful. And we’re talking like old school journalism, right?
Yeah.
Like old school. This is the yummy digging into it, diving into it. That’s what lit me up. I remember during both of my thesis processes, that was the piece. The writing was challenging because I didn’t want to stop the research. This begets this, begets this, begets, this. So, I love that as well and expanding into those spaces. I get the process of wanting to study and the investigative capacity, but why this topic? Why does the past lives? Why any interest in what the universe is saying? How’d you get there?
Well, I was born and raised Catholic. I went to 12 years of Catholic school, and at that time I had a lot of questions because things weren’t making any sense to me, especially the whole concept of sin and the idea that only get this one chance and if you blow it, that’s it. You go to hell. That didn’t feel right to me. When I was a teenager, I started to read books about Edgar Casey, I started to read books about reincarnation, just stern with Montgomery. This is really old school stuff. The whole idea made perfect sense to me. Karma made a lot of sense. It just answered all of my questions. So, I just started digging deeper, reading more books about reincarnation studies. My first book was the search for brightening Murphy, and then I just went on from there, and then I went to sleep for a while and then woke up again when Shirley McClain did out on a limb when it became a mini-series in 1987. Ever since then, it has been my absolute total passion.
So cool. I mean, I love that you use that verbiage in the sense of going to sleep. I think that for a lot of us, we find that our journeys take us into more dense areas, more linear, traditional spaces. Our perspective is we go and we pick up pieces, we pick up skill sets, or whatever the case may be, and usually in retrospect, somewhere down the road we can see this beautiful tapestry that’s been woven through that. I wonder if that isn’t what you see when you look out at the interconnectedness of past lives. I mean, do you see those threads? Is it the hero’s journey spread out amongst many or am I totally off track with that?
Oh, no. Interesting that you use the analogy of a tapestry because I use the analogy of a mosaic. I tell people when we’re looking that every piece that they are able to uncover is just a tiny part of it, but when we put the whole thing together, that’s when we see the oneness of it. I take people back to the past life that’s most impacting them now. In other words, you have some issues that are going on now that may have started in the lifetime that happened a thousand years ago. So, let’s go dig that out and find out what that is. Everyone asks basically the same question when they come to me. “I don’t know why I’m here. I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing.” Or “I’m having this relationship issue.” Or “I see this pattern happening over and over, and I don’t know how to stop it. I don’t know where it began.”
So, we were able to answer a lot of those questions with just one regression actually. It’s not the kind of therapy that you need to go back over and over unless you want to, and you want to keep exploring a particular lifetime. It has such a deep healing aspect to it. I have so many people have these aha moments where you could see where they’re putting it together. “Oh, now I understand, Oh, this is why this is happening.” Then, they have a change in either their perspective, which causes the healing, or sometimes if it’s a chronic illness that we’re researching, they have an actual spontaneous feeling with the condition. So, there are many aspects of it, but they’re all healing, and they’re all intended to show you about the ongoingness of the soul.
Beautiful, beautiful. Well, we’re going to dive more deeply into this, folks, after the break. Be sure if you want to check out more about Joanne’s work, go to joannedimaggio.com.
