My Experience With Past Life Regression

I hadn’t planned on writing this article at all. My session of past life regression was so private that I hadn’t planned on making it public that I’d even had a session. But I’ve decided to give a tiny bit of an insight into my own journey to perhaps let some of you know that it can be an amazingly transformative experience.

I used to think past life regression was pointless. I couldn’t understand why I’d bother journeying back into my past lives when I’m trying to live out this one as best I can. But after an astrology reading with an incredible Astrologer, Gahl Sasson, I changed my mind. My reading revealed that I’ve carried over quite a bit of emotional baggage from my many past lives. And that baggage is likely affecting my emotional state in this present lifetime. Ha! as if the baggage I’ve got from this lifetime wasn’t enough!

At the time of my astrology reading I was in LA so decided to wait until Sedona to seek out a past life regression practitioner because intuitively Sedona just felt like the best place to do it. Sedona is quite famous for its kookiness and spirituality so of course I wasn’t surprised to find several practitioners when I arrived in the land of the big red rocks.

After searching I found two practitioners who studied under Dr Brian Weiss, the author of a book I absolutely love – Many Masters Many Lives. Dr Weiss’s passion and heart for the exploration of past lives and the usefulness in breaking out of negative emotional states has given me so much respect for his work. So choosing a practitioner who studied directly under him was a no brainer.

The man I ended up seeing for my regression in Sedona, Michael Brown, has a very compassionate and loving energy which made it easy for me to relax during the session. Relaxation is vital during a regression. You’re in a somewhat hypnotized state so the more calm and relaxed you can be, the deeper you’ll fall into hypnosis.

And when I say “hypnotized” I don’t mean I was completely out of it. In fact I was completely aware of everything that was happening during the session and can remember the whole thing. It was kind of like being in a state where I was just about to fall asleep. Where my dream state felt more real and “larger” than my awake state but I could consciously talk about it with Michael.

The most fascinating thing about the regression was being able to feel these past lives again. I was physically able to feel what it was like to be what I was before. And even more amazingly, I was able to feel what it was like to be out of a body and merging in with the divine. The first time I experienced leaving a body and feeling myself meld into the universe I cried tears of love and happiness. I could feel what it was like to go home, to be back where I really came from. And I looked back on the life and the body I came from with a strong sense of detachment and a curiosity as to why I’d forgotten all of this and why I’d made events in that life such a “big deal”. It was only then that I’d realized how the body I’d been encased in really was a school and how it was less real than where I’d moved on to.

Moments after I came out of hypnosis I could no longer feel the depths of that experience which I’m a little sad about, and I doubt I could possibly truly feel that energy again unless I have another session and am lucky to have another experience. But a little part of me wonders if it’s kind of like having your first deep meditation experience, the feeling may never be quite as magical as the first time I experienced it.

I journeyed through three lives in our four hour session. Two of these lives were ordinary so I was happy to leave them and reflect on my lessons learned. But one life was absolutely magical and I wished I could have stayed there for ever. I remember being a little sad after I came out of it and realized that that life was over and I’d come back into the one I’ve got now. Which just shows you how awesome that life was because I have it pretty sweet in this lifetime right now.

What made that particular lifetime special was my deep connection to spirit. From a young age I’d taught myself by accident how to connect my largely open heart directly to the divine. And therefore a beautiful relationship with divine love had deepened throughout my lifetime, building me into a strong, loving and full person.

I’m not going to go into any more detail other than that I’ve been using the memory of this life and the feeling of being that person to open my heart and deepen my spiritual connection in this lifetime. I honestly feel that the connection to this past life was one of the biggest transformative experiences to opening my heart to giving and receiving love over the past couple of weeks. It demonstrated exactly how past life experiences can affect our emotional state in our current lifetime. Just by remembering and experiencing one of my past lives, I was able to transform physically, emotionally and energetically in this lifetime in just one day. Now that is incredible.

Now that I’m back in Sedona for a week I’m tempted to go and get more regression done, but I don’t want to be greedy. The lesson I’ve learned this week is to sit with a newly acquired transformation to allow it to deepen and settle in. Any greediness to move onto the next thing can only cause you to fall back a step and detract from the path you’re on. So reading number two will just have to wait until my return.

If you’re considering past life regression I highly recommend it. And if you can find someone who studied under Brian Weiss I highly recommend it even more. And of course, if you happen to find yourself in Sedona please check out Michael Brown. He comes with two thumbs up and a 5 out of 5 recommendation from me!
