The first video recorded case of responsive xenoglossy in the world!

Have you ever heard of a case where a person suddenly begins speaking a foreign language he or she never learned in childhood or later? This phenomenon is called xenoglossy and contains two different types: recitative and responsive.

The former, recitative xenoglossy, means that a person speaks - or more accurately, recites – words and phrases in a foreign language he or she has never learned. The latter, responsive xenoglossy, means that a person is able to make conversation in a foreign language he or she has never learned.

Many of the cases of recitative xenoglossy have been proven to be false, which can be explained by different theories including that the “unlearned languages” turned out to be a piece of knowledge or memory that happened to be stored in the subconscious mind a long time ago and had been forgotten totally until the conscious mind succeeded in accessing this information by, for instance, a hypnosis session. On the contrary, it is not possible to explain responsive xenoglossy by any other theories and this is considered to be evidence that past lives (reincarnation) actually exist.

Cases of responsive xenoglossy are very rare. For a long period of time, only 4 cases had been recognized as genuine responsive xenoglossy after huge detailed investigations in the world. However, a new case, i.e. the 5th case (and the very first video recorded case in the world) appeared in Japan in 2005. This case took place while a Japanese hypnotherapist, Mr. Katsumi Inagaki, conducted hypnosis sessions (regression therapy) with a Japanese woman named Risa. Under a session, she recalled one of her past lives where she lived as a Nepalese warrior and a village head named Rataraju. Under the session, she began speaking Nepali which she had never learned in her present life. Furthermore, it turned out that she succeeded in making conversation in Nepali with a Nepalese researcher who attended a later session in order to investigate the case.

This Rataraju case was investigated carefully from different approaches by the hypnotherapist Mr. Inagaki himself and his research team consisting of several professionals in different fields.

The Rataraju case created a sensation in Japan and was shown on a well-known Japanese TV show called "Miracle Experience: Unbelievable" with Takeshi Kitano (known worldwide as a movie director) as a program presenter.

 

In this blog, this latest case of responsive xenoglossy, the Rataraju case, will be presented in detail and even other cases that occurred under hypnosis sessions by Mr. Katsumi Inagaki. In his regression therapy, he uses a unique method developed by himself. This new method, called SAM (“Soul Approach Method”) regression therapy, differs totally from the currently wide-spread regression therapy developed by the American hypnotherapist Dr. Brian I. Weiss.

The Rataraju case and the new regression therapy method ("SAM") are expected to offer a new dimension and a valuable insight not only into regression therapy and past-life theory but also into essential questions such as meaning of life, why human beings exist etc.
