Brian Leslie Weiss (born November 6, 1944) is an American psychiatrist, hypnotherapist, and author who specializes in past life regression. His research includes reincarnation, past-life regression, future-life progression, and survival of the human soul after death.

Education and medical career

Weiss studied at Columbia University,[1] and later graduated from the Yale University School of Medicine in 1970, completing an internship in internal medicine at the New York University Medical Center then returning to Yale for a two-year residency in psychiatry.[2] He went on to become Head of Psychiatry, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami.[3][4]

Past life regression and future life progression

According to Weiss, in 1980 one of his patients, "Catherine", began discussing past-life experiences under hypnosis. Weiss did not believe in reincarnation at the time but, after confirming elements of Catherine's stories through public records, came to be convinced of the survival of an element of the human personality after death.[5] Weiss claims he has regressed more than 4,000 patients since 1980.[6]

Weiss advocates hypnotic regression as therapy, claiming that many phobias and ailments are rooted in past-life experiences whose acknowledgment by the patient can have a curative effect. Weiss also writes about messages received from the "Masters", or "super-evolved, nonphysical souls", he claims to have communicated with through his subjects.[7] Weiss holds workshops and seminars across the United States that explain and teach self regression mediations techniques. This includes the Hay House I Can Do It one day workshops and the intense experiential workshops at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies in NY.

Media

Weiss is a frequent guest on national television and radio talk shows, including: The Oprah Winfrey Show,[8] Coast to Coast AM,[9] Larry King Live, and 20/20. He is the author of eight books on the subject of reincarnation, including Only Love is Real, a USA Today bestseller.[10] In May 2008, he appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show on a show about reincarnation,[11] and five years later in June 2013, he was interviewed again by Oprah in the talk show Super Soul Sunday episode, on the OWN Network.[12]

Personal life

Weiss lives with his wife Carole in Miami, Florida, where he writes and conducts public seminars and workshops on the subject of reincarnation.[1] His daughter Amy E. Weiss is the co-author of his 2012 book Miracles Happen: The Transformational Healing Power of Past-Life Memories.[13][14]
