In this episode of EZ Conversations, Furkhan Dandia sits down with Craig Meriwether, author of the Past Lives Guidebook, for a wide-ranging conversation on past life regression, hypnotherapy, and the broader question: is consciousness confined to the brain—or could it be non-local? Craig shares his personal journey through anxiety and depression, how hypnotherapy supported his healing, and why he’s drawn to exploring this topic through both a spiritual lens and a more evidence-oriented, skeptical curiosity.
Together, they explore what hypnosis actually is (the relaxed, daydream-like state), how regression can be used therapeutically, and why some people turn to these approaches when traditional methods haven’t fully helped. The conversation also covers major figures in this space, including Michael Newton and Brian Weiss, and examines controversial consciousness-related claims (such as remote viewing research) in a way that encourages listeners to stay curious while thinking critically.
In this episode, we cover:
What past life regression is (and how it differs from “time travel”)
How hypnosis works and why it can feel emotionally clarifying
Spiritual seeking vs organized religion—and how belief systems shape interpretation
Non-local consciousness: what people mean by it and why it’s debated
Michael Newton’s “Life Between Lives” framework
Brian Weiss and regression in a clinical/psychiatric context
Healing applications: patterns, phobias, emotional loops, and integration
Why facilitation and aftercare matter, especially when trauma is involved
How to approach this topic with skepticism, humility, and open-mindedness
