A Past Life Regression Review: Is It For Real?

Embarking on a journey to unveil the mysteries of one’s past lives is a tantalizing adventure. Past life regression therapy is a route many are now exploring to unlock memories from previous lifetimes, aiming to understand and heal present-day woes. I’m sharing my personal narrative of a past life regression session I recently had with a local hypnotherapist and clairvoyant. This past life regression review aims to provide insights for those curious about what it is and if it’s real.

Choosing the Right Guide

My quest began with a choice to engage with a local hypnotherapist and clairvoyant, whose extensive expertise, showcased on LinkedIn, instilled confidence in me. Despite the reassurance, the drive to the session was filled with a concoction of anticipation and self-doubt. My analytical mind, backed by a solid ego, kept conjuring scenarios where I would thwart the hypnosis by over-analyzing every single second and detail—basically how I am every day in real-life.

The Prelude to the Journey

As I arrived, the warm reception by the hypnotherapist dissolved some of the built-up apprehension. The therapy room, with its reclining lounge chair, was inviting. The assurance that I would retain memories of the session and feel safe throughout, acted as a gentle nudge towards the unknown voyage I was about to embark upon.

She also mentioned that when people are hypnotized they talk very quietly, almost like a whisper, and she would have to get in their face sometimes and ask them to repeat what they said. She asked my age and what I wanted to get out of this past life regression therapy.  Truthfully, I couldn’t think of anything to say.  I felt like an idiot because I was drawing a blank.  We agreed to keep the session general—a doorway to whatever information my past held for me.

The Voyage Through Past Lives

With a sleep mask covering my eyes and the lights dimmed, the session commenced with a guided visualization. The only part I really remember from it is when she did the countdown.  In the moment, I didn’t realize it was a countdown though which was cool.  She told me to picture my life now, and go back to my thirties, then picture my twenties, and then go back to when I was 15, then picture myself at 10, 9, 8, and 7. 

By the time she had taken me back to age 10, I could feel all the tears start to well up and I had no idea why.  She kept counting down my age from 3 years old, to 2, to 1 year old, and into the birth canal and womb.  I was full-blown crying by that time and I couldn’t even help it.  I felt the tears streaming down underneath my eye mask.  I remember thinking that she was going too fast like I wanted to take a seat on memory lane and stay awhile at those young ages.  Maybe that was why I was crying.

The Glimpse into Bygone Eras

The regression ventured further back into a life before the present one. Oddly enough, I was whispering and couldn’t change the volume of my voice (She was right!). I told her I was picturing a little boy sitting in a living room by himself.  I grew up in the 80s and 90s so to me the surroundings seemed like they were in the 40s or 50s.  Truthfully, I have no idea what the 30s, 40s, or 50s living room probably looks like though.  I saw him just playing with wooden cars and rolling them back and forth (I guess I need to google and see when kids played with wooden cars. Ha!).  I was still crying, and she asked why I was crying, and I said “I don’t know.  Nostalgia.  Like I miss it.”.  But I also remember feeling like I missed my old life too, the one I just left…as me now!  I couldn’t really tell.  Or maybe I missed that one as a little boy.  She asked me to describe him, and I said he seemed nice.  Haha! Like what?  He seems nice.  Who says that?  He also had very light brown hair and a striped shirt.  I guess that’s a better description!

She guided me to go to the most important day of my life, which I said was my wedding day.  I just kept picturing the woman I was holding was all smiles and happy and pretty.  And I felt so happy to be with her.  It was like there were lots of people around but I was only paying attention to her so I couldn’t make anyone out. 

Then, she guided me to my last day, the day I died.  I said I was alone in my bed as an old man and my wife had already passed away a few years before me.  Remind you, I am still crying during this whole thing, and I have no idea why.  I said I had a good life and that I was excited to see my wife again.

A Spectrum of Past Lives

The session didn’t just stop at one past life; it was a carousel of lives. I continued to cry during the ENTIRE hypnosis and seemed to cry harder during the transitions to each life.  I also remember thinking that I had to be making this stuff up.  I do feel like I was hypnotized, or under – so to speak, but I still had my analytical brain there too.  It felt like I was lucid dreaming.  I was thinking that I had to be making this stuff up and I am probably just saying scenarios of all my favorite things.  For example, I pictured a life in California that centered around music (both my favorite things), and one where I was in the ocean like a whale or dolphin or something (I love to swim and be in water).

The Unveiling of Emotions

The narrative spun during the session, whether a construct of my mind or glimpses of real past lives, stirred a whirlpool of emotions. The profound impact was palpable, the tears were real and the feelings evoked were profound. The post-session past life regression review had a blend of joy, satisfaction, and a newfound reverence for the labyrinth of life. Overall, I thought it was really cool—even though it took me awhile to regain my composure. 

Embracing the Experience

She had been taking notes the whole time and gave them to me when we were finished. The documentation of the session, now a cherished keepsake, is a testament to an enriching experience. I’m so happy I finally did it.  I can’t believe it took me so long because I’ve read every book and listened to every podcast about past life regression therapy. 

I always pictured seeing some horrific things happening to me in a past life but everything seemed pretty mundane or pleasant.  The hypnotherapist seemed really shocked that I didn’t have any “traumas” and that every life seemed to be pretty happy.  Woo hoo!  I win at past lifing!  Yea right! It’s probably so bad that I’m probably burying it all deep down because I can’t handle it.  That’s probably the more likely scenario.  😊
