Humanity Crossing the Karmic Plain Past Life Regression 'Therapy' Increasing as I meet and work with evolving souls in the far flung corners of the world, people are regressing quickly into their past life karma. This is extremely positive, because it's karma that has brought people back into incarnation and which needs to be processed in order to ascend into the New Paradigm.
