Introduction
Past Life Regression hypnotherapy, also known as life regression therapy, is a therapeutic modality that uses guided hypnosis or imagery to explore past lives and facilitate spiritual growth, emotional healing, and personal development.
The PTTR process allows individuals to access memories from previous incarnations, providing insight into unresolved issues, karmic patterns, and the soul’s journey.
Past life regression is considered a powerful tool for spiritual and emotional healing, helping individuals uncover deep-seated trauma and connect with their spiritual path.

The Essence of Past Life Regression: Meaning, Soul Connections, and More
Have you ever experienced an unexplained affinity or aversion, vivid déjà vu moments, dreams that were indistiguishable from memory? An unexplainable strong connection with certain people? Or a deep-rooted curiosity about the mysteries of the soul's journey?
Whether or not you believe in reincarnation of the soul, much of what logic can't explain can be better understood through Past Life Regression. Through a structured process called Past Life Regression hypnotherapy, individuals embark on a purposeful voyage, guided by hypnosis, to access memories and experiences from their former lives. This extraordinary exploration holds the potential to unravel soul connections, resolve lingering traumas, and even heal physical pain.
Join the Galactic Federation of Light as we uncover the mysteries, structure, and merits behind Past Life Regression and how it can be used as an alternative means to spiritual and emotional healing.

Reincarnation Across Cultures
The concepts reincarnation and previous lives have been a prevalent belief across diverse cultures throughout history. Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism all believe that the soul reincarnates in samsara (the cycle) driven by their karma until reaching nirvana, or spiritual liberation. The individual's karma determines the form and life they are born into. Until they resolve their karma, they cannot reach enlightenment and freedom from the cycle.
Ancient Egyptians believed in the afterlife, with the soul's journey after death being meticulously recorded and judged. Ancient Egyptians believed in the "ka"- the spiritual life force or soul, the "ba" the personality of the person, and the "akh" the glorified state of the soul after death.
Some Ancient Greeks advocated their belief in the afterlife, namely Pythagoras and his student, Plato.
How to Know if You've Had a Past Life
There are many indications of a person having had a previous life or many previous lives. In fact, these signs may point to the possibility that you have experienced many lives before your current one.
We hear the term “old soul” being thrown around carelessly, but if you have ever given some thought as to whether your soul might really be much older than you are presently, it's worth noting that most clients who seek regression report similar experiences.
Here are some signs that you may have had past lives:
People who feel stuck in their current lives, unable to move forward despite trying conventional approaches, often look to past life regression for answers.
If you recognize these signs in yourself, you may be a good candidate for past life regression.
Vivid dreams that feel like memories
You have distinct and incredibly realistic dreams or visions of faces and places you don’t recall ever having been in or seeing before. These vivid dreams may be a form of past life experience. You may have strong, intuitive feelings about these people and places that don’t make any logical sense to you, but you can sense that they were familiar and important to you. Some people wonder if these dreams are real memories from a past life or simply products of imagination. These are past life memories. Through memory regression techniques, you may discover an old best friend, past romantic partners, family members, and even a soul mate from many past lives.
Unexplained phobias and aversions
You have an intense, irrational fear of or strong emotional reaction to a certain object, situation, or place that you simply cannot attribute to anything in your current life experience. For example, you might feel acute negative emotions when presented with a necktie. There is no reason you have such an aversive feeling towards something so seemingly harmless, and yet the feeling of aversion is pervasive and ever-present. This could be due to a trauma or the manner of death from a past life associated with necktie and a fear of choking. Unresolved trauma from past lives can also impact your physical health in the present, as emotional triggers may manifest as physical symptoms or ailments.
Natural Talents or Skills
You might possess some skills, talents, and interests that have emerged naturally in you without any need for cultivation. One possible answer to this is that some of these talents carried over from a former lifetime.
Déjà vu
Déjà vu sometimes involves soul recognition, where your soul recognizes familiar people, places, or circumstances from past lives. This recognition can manifest as a sense of déjà vu when encountering similar situations in the current life.
Intense Connection to Past Cultures or Time Periods
As a child, you may have felt drawn to different times on Earth. You may have felt incredibly intrigued with lessons on ancient Egypt, Greece, the Renaissance, etc. Beyond a deep personal connection to these epochs, you may have even felt a sense of nostalgia for these periods. Often this marks the beginning of the exploration of past selves throughout many lifetimes.
Physical Anomalies, Birthmarks, and Wounds
Even though the soul uses different bodies as vessels for each new life, your body can provide you with clues as to what happened in a previous life. Birthmarks have long been believed to be linked to past life experiences, particularly if they coincide with injuries or traumas sustained in a previous incarnation. Certain birthmarks can tell about the birthplace, trauma, or cause of death of a previous life. Birthmarks can also tell us about the place of origin of our soul. It is very possible that the soul doesn’t always reincarnate in human form, and you may discover that you might have a past life on a planet other than Earth. Typically, many starseeds recover memories of their home planet through PLR hypnotherapy. A plr session is a type of regression hypnosis, where a practitioner guides you into a relaxed state to access these memories, even if you do not believe in reincarnation. Through regression hypnosis, individuals often discover that they have certain birthmarks that tell them about where they came from. (see Starseed Birthmarks)
What You Can Learn from Past Life Connections
Our souls agree to the conditions of the future life before entering it, and upon birth experience amnesia and forget the vast amount of knowledge the soul has accumulated. The soul contracts dictate the life lesson that the soul is meant to overcome in that life. Unless the lesson is learned, the soul continues in the same way until the karma is complete.

Soul Mates, Karmic Ties, & Twin Flames
More often than not, our souls actually have soul contracts with the people in our immediate lives. Some of the relationships we have with family members, our children, and our romantic partners exist to impart lessons that are meant to teach us something. These reincarnations of past life connections are called karmic ties. It is through this interplay between our own life and other’s lives that we can learn the lessons we are meant to learn. The insights and lessons gained from these past life connections can have a profound impact on our current lives, shaping our personal growth and experiences in the present.
Many proponents of past life regression believe in reincarnation of individuals with a powerful connection with one another that seems to transcend time and space. These soul mates are believed to have traversed many different lifetimes together, are drawn to one another, and often report feeling familiar with each other prior to actually meeting. Some astrologists believe that a soul mate connection can be indicated on the south node of an astrological chart. However, it is important to note that a relationship with a soul mate is neither guaranteed nor perfect. (For more information on soul mates, click here).
Another example of a powerful past life connection is the twin flame. A twin flame connection describes a relationship between a person and the person’s “other half”. As twin flames are believed to be two halves of the same soul, a sign you’ve met your twin flame is when you feel that the person is almost a mirror to you and vice versa. Often, meeting a twin flame is the catalyst event for profound transformation and awakening. This person doesn’t always come in the form of a romantic partner, but can manifest as your best friend or one of your children.
It is essential to spend time processing the emotions and lessons that arise from these deep soul connections, as this integration can facilitate healing and personal transformation.
Signs You've Met Someone from a Past Life
So how do you know if you have a past life connection? There are many signs you have met someone from a past life, some of which include:
- an instant connection
- strong emotional reaction to the person (either unexplained familiarity or aversion)
- synchronicities with this person
- feeling of completeness with person
After noticing these signs, it can be helpful to talk about your experiences with a practitioner or in a supportive setting. Group past life regression sessions are another way to explore these connections collectively.

Past Life Regression Hypnotherapy: The Process
The process of accessing former life memories through hypnotherapy is a sacred and profound journey. Guided by skilled practitioners, individuals are gently led into a state of deep relaxation, where the process often begins with guided relaxation to help clients enter a deeply relaxed state. During the session, clients remain aware of their surroundings, feelings, and sensations, maintaining inward awareness while being relaxed and focused. Creating an environment where clients feel safe is essential, allowing them to explore their memories with trust and openness.
As these memories surface, individuals may encounter vivid sensory details, emotional resonances, and profound insights into their many past lives, potentially uncovering connections with soulmates—kindred spirits with whom profound bonds were shared across multiple lifetimes. These experiences typically occur during structured sessions, which can be conducted one on one or in groups. Related modalities include past life regression therapy, past life regressions, past life therapy, and life regression therapy, all of which use similar techniques to facilitate healing and self-discovery. Engaging in deep work during these sessions can lead to transformative healing and personal growth.
Memory regression navigates the subconscious mind’s intricate terrain delicately. Through guided prompts and visualizations, practitioners create a safe, supportive environment to explore past life memories without constraint, using a nuanced approach. To support relaxation and well being during the session, it is recommended to wear comfortable clothes or advise clients to wear comfortable clothes, ensuring they can fully relax and engage in the process.
Compared with Other Therapeutic Techniques:
While past life regression explores alleged past incarnations with the goal of reaching specific sources through hypnosis, transpersonal regression takes a broader transpersonal approach - delving into the collective unconscious, archetypes, visionary states, attached energies of others and connection to universal consciousness.
Transpersonal views past lives as one path toward cosmic awareness and embodying one's highest authentic self beyond the individual ego. Both are great forms of therapy depending on what speaks to the individual soul.
The Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique, developed by Dolores Cannon, shares some similarities with past life regression, as it involves accessing the subconscious mind through hypnosis. However, it focuses more on facilitating healing and personal growth by connecting with higher aspects of consciousness, rather than solely exploring past lives and death.
After the Sessions
After a past life regression session, it’s important to give yourself space and time to process the profound insights and emotions that may have surfaced. The journey of exploring past lives often continues long after the session ends, as your subconscious mind works to integrate the memories and emotional imprints uncovered during regression therapy.
Many clients notice a sense of emotional release and a deeper sense of understanding about their current life experiences. This can be especially powerful if you’ve been struggling with recurring patterns, emotional pain, or physical ailments that seemed to have no clear root cause in your present life. By accessing memories from previous lives, you may gain a different perspective on your life today, allowing for greater self-discovery and healing.
To support your healing journey, consider taking time to reflect on your past life regression session. Journaling about the emotions, images, and insights that arose can help you process and anchor the experience, making it easier to recognize connections between your past and present. Many people also find that practices like meditation, gentle movement, or spending time in nature help them feel more grounded in the present moment and connected to their deeper self.
It’s common to experience a range of emotions after a life regression session—some people feel lighter and more empowered, while others may need time to process unresolved emotions or trauma history that surfaced. Remember, this is a normal part of the integration process. If you notice vivid dreams or heightened intuition in the days following your session, this is often a sign that your subconscious mind is continuing to process and heal.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
There is much to be learned from relationships that don't pan out as you expect. Exploring your past life connection with the person can be helpful in giving you access to understandings of your soul that have been forgotten. A relationship with a person is one life might be instrumental for that lifetime, and not necessarily for the one you are currently in. Through this process, you may be able to finally grieve that relationship and find acceptance, awakening, and self love.
-
These contracts affect your love life in the same way that they affect every other area of your life. Our souls may choose the moment they are born what lessons they are going to learn, but we often forget that our souls are chosen to incarnate with others to teach them something as well. With that in mind, everyone who enters your life on a daily basis is both receiving and imparting wisdom. This is Universal consciousness, in that all of our souls are intextricably linked.
-
The Universe responds to our energy constantly. If you would like to call in love in your life, you must embody love. This requires cultivating a radical sense of self love and love of others.
If you're having trouble maintaining hope in finding love, ask yourself whether you can cultivate that love for yourself and why you keep looking for it externally. The idea that love must come from some other source is misguided. Consider for a moment that you are love manifested and expressed as a living, breathing miracle. The Universe will match this energetic frequency.
-
Certainly. There are many side effects from Past Life regression.
