On some occasions the unfolding of the life itself takes up the full session time and healing techniques require a session to themselves. Morris has also carried out past life healings for clients who were regressed by another therapist but who felt that the life was still unresolved. In this type of work, the emphasis is not on names, facts and dates, but on deeply felt experiences. Belief in reincarnation is not necessary for the therapy to have positive benefits. Some people distinguish between past life 'recall' and 'revivification', which is where the person re-experiences the events with full strength of feeling.
Some therapists believe that full feeling is necessary to gain benefit from the work.
However, having also trained in therapeutic metaphor, Morris appreciates that feelings can be worked with in a different modality, and that their energy is essentially unchanged, just as water is still water when it becomes steam or ice. Most clients experiencing past life traumas report that they have knowledge of the precise shades of feeling, but without fully re-experiencing them. It is simply not possible to infer the degree of 'reality' of an experience by the depth of feeling. Some people find themselves spontaneously going to around the time of their birth, and the same method can be used deliberately for a regression to birth or early childhood. Some people may feel themselves entering the consciousness of another life-form, known or unknown, or experiencing a state between lives.
