Past Life Regression is a real phenomena even though there is a lot of skepticism around it for understandable reasons. However, it would be 'funny' to assume that so many famous people in PLR space such as Dolores Cannon, Michael Newton, Brian Weiss and others would spend their entire lives compiling data from their hypnotherapy sessions for nothing. On top of that, risking their entire careers and being ridiculed by the society... That is just does not make any sense to me.
We do have evidence for PLR. However, those who want to ignore the existence of PLR will not believe in this phenomena even if all the evidence was on the table. It is in our human nature to believe only in what we have experienced ourselves. Although, paradoxically, we often do not even trust our own experiences and judgement.
Understanding PLR is also about an individual journey on the ladder of evolution of consciousness. When our consciousness rises, we start seeing the world through a more complicated but a more objective lens. We leave the space for the unknown and we do not rush to conclusions - we explore.
So, now you might be thinking about booking a past life regression session but you have doubts and fears. I want you to know that those doubts and fears are absolutely normal and are expected in the beginning of comprehending PLR. That is why it is so important to find the right practitioner who can help you release those doubts and fears, so you can experience a successful PLR session.
However, doubts and fears are not the only blocks to seeing your past lives. Your current life trauma can be a huge block too. Until you release substantial amount of your current life trauma, you might not be able to see your past lives. Instead, what you are going to experience in PLR is your wounded inner children or parts.
Unfortunately, very few PLR practitioners are aware of all the intricacies of their work and hence many people will go into such sessions with their wounded parts being triggered and terrified without appropriate professional support. Hence, this can lead to re-traumatisation or deepening of psychological wounds. That is why I believe that PLR practitioners need to have a good background in psychology and trauma healing in order to safely perform PLR sessions.
If you have a substantial amount of trauma from this life, we need to work with your wounded parts first unburdening those that come up during the first 1-2 session(s). Only then we can proceed further. At this point, there is one more thing to address before diving into PLR - energetic attachments that do not belong in your system (please read more about energetic attachments here).
Energetic attachments are unwanted energetic interferences which attach to us due to traumatic experiences. If you have never done a professional energy clearing on yourself, then chances are that you have entities attached to you. When it comes to PLR, if you have a significant entity infestation, then there is a high probability of seeing entities' past lives in PLR instead of your own. Same goes for connection to your Higher Self - you might channel an entity pretending to be your Higher Self instead of your actual Higher Self. That is why removing entities is a very important step in the process which needs to be done properly before diving into PLR.
Another important thing to mention here is that many people tend to romanticise PLR. 'I'm so excited to see fairies, unicorns, medieval times and galactic lives' they like to say. However, as you have already realised, this is a very complex process. In your PLR session you might see metaphors coming from your subconscious mind instead of your past lives. Sometimes, you will see past experiences from this lifetime because of unresolved current life trauma. And other times, you will see shadow lifetimes or struggle to see/feel anything at all due to significant trauma and/or disconnect from yourself/your soul.
Being able to see/feel your past lives is an individual journey for each and every person. So, do not feel discouraged when you cannot see or feel anything. Sometimes it takes a lot of time and practice to be able to connect with your past lives. The process is not as easy as they portray it on the internet.
At the same time, accessing PLR can sometimes be fairly easy resulting in my clients successfully connecting with their own past lives in spite of their traumas and energetic attachments. To be on a safer side though, I still highly recommend people interested in PLR to follow my recommendations below.
To sum up, before you book your first PLR session, make sure that YOU:
Find a practitioner who can provide for you a safe space where they will hear your doubts and worries and help you reduce or completely eliminate them.
Work on releasing some of your current life trauma beforehand. For example, you can do a couple of SCHH sessions for trauma release, and/or work with a psychotherapist or another practitioner (if you have not already done so).
Do a Spirit Release Session with a trusted practitioner to make sure that the lives you are going to see will be 100% yours.
Release all expectations because you might see metaphors and current life unresolved trauma scenes instead of PLR. Or, you may be able to see your past lives and even access your galactic lifetimes in a non-human body. You can never predict how the session will go, so leaving all expectations behind is very helpful.
Have practiced connecting to your soul and worked on your visualisation skills before diving into PLR.
Trained your rational part of the brain to step aside and let go of control. It will interfere a lot! We do that by practicing exercises for strengthening the right side of the brain.
These 6 suggestions above will help you to have a fantastic Past Life Regression session! Enjoy!
On a side note, Soul Center Healing Hypnosis (SCHH) ticks all of the 6 components above! You can enjoy self-discovery and a healing journey through this modality alone without a need to go and see multiple practitioners and spend a lot of money in the process. I guide into PLR not only advanced clients but also those who are completely new to the topic. So, no matter what your level is, I will be able to help you learn to access your past lives if that is what you want.
Having said all that, please do use common sense when it comes to PLR. Such sessions are only beneficial for people with fairly healthy psyches. If you feel too terrified of the possibility of seeing your past lives, do not just jump into it! Talk about your feelings with a professional first. Maybe you will come back to PLR later when you feel stronger and are ready for it.
Many people dive into PLR before they are ready and without professional support. In that case, this experience can be really intense. For me, your mental health is a priority. I will never perform a session if I sense that it is not going to be beneficial for you. You might need to do parts work first before going into PLR to work with those terrified parts.
In case if you go through some intense spiritual awakening experiences as a result of our work, do not hesitate to contact me or ask for professional support of a psychotherapist who works with such experiences and does not pathologies them. Spiritual awakening is a highly misunderstood topic in the modern psychological field!
Wishing you a great PLR journey!
