Muchas Vidas, Muchos Maestros

In this narrative of the turning point in his psychiatric career, Dr. Brian Weiss describes being astonished and perplexed when one of his patients began recalling past-life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. His skepticism was eroded, however, when she began to channel messages from the "space between lives," which contained remarkable revelations about Dr. Weiss' family and his dead son. Using past-life therapy, he was able to cure the patient and embark on a new, more meaningful phase of his own career.

Brian Weiss is a psychiatrist who received degrees from Columbia University and Yale University, and has served as the director of the psychiatry department of Mount Sinai Medical Center. He is the author of Meditation; Messages from the Masters; Mirrors of Time; Same Soul, Many Bodies; and Through Time into Healing. He lives in Miami, Florida.
