Past life regression is a technique that uses hypnosis to recover the memories of
past lives or incarnations. Past-life regression is typically undertaken either in pursuit
of a spiritual experience, or in a psychotherapeutic setting. Most advocates loosely
adhere to beliefs about reincarnation, though religious traditions that incorporate
reincarnation generally do not include the idea of repressed memories of past lives.
The technique used during past-life regression involves the subject answering a
series of questions while hypnotized to reveal identity and events of their past lives.
The use of hypnosis and suggestive questions can tend to help the subject to recall
his past memories. The source of the memories is more likely that of combine
experiences, knowledge, imagination and suggestion or guidance from the hypnotist
or regression therapist.
In the 2nd century BC, Sage Patanjali, in his Yoga Sutras, discussed the idea of the
soul becoming burdened with an accumulation of impressions as part of the karma
from previous lives. Patanjali called the process of past-life regression “prati-
prasav”or "reverse birthing" and saw it as addressing current problems through
memories of past lives.
Past life regression can be found in Jainism. The seven truths of Jainism deal with
the soul and its attachment to karma and Moksha. It tells us that in order to be freed
from the cycle of rebirth and death, one must separate karma from the soul. In order
to find out what karma is attached to your soul; you can participate in “Jati-Smaran.”
Jati-Smaran is nothing else but remembering past lives.
The following has to be borne in mind. The more turmoil you have in your life, the
more revealing your past life will be. If you lead an uneventful life of having two
square meals a day with no major upheavals, your past life is also likely to be similar.
For a successful session, you do not need to believe in PLR, though you should
preferably have a basic idea of the following:
2. Age of a soul, viz. a baby soul, a young soul and an old soul
3. Mind structure
4. Body parts
6. Birth trauma
7. Intuition
8. Hypnotism
9. Development cycles
10. Archetypes

PLR - Preparation
I prefer to do sessions in the morning. Most people prefer to do PLR lying down,
while some prefer sitting though rarely. It does not matter which position you prefer;
the important thing is that you should be comfortable enough throughout the session.
The room temperature should be comfortable. Outside noise should be kept to a
minimum. Having a light dinner during the previous evening is advisable. This keeps
the stomach relaxed. Getting sound sleep during the previous night improves results.
During the session, you may experience pain, anxiety, crying, fear etc. This is due to
the release of emotional baggage. The process of relieving pent up emotions takes
2-5 minutes. You may be frightened to let it go but don‟t worry. You will feel a lot
lighter after releasing this baggage of your past life. Keep tissues handy to clean up
after crying. You can tape or video record your PLR session.
Your conscious mind is alert and working throughout the session. The scope of
questions about you is strictly limited as defined by you. No hypnotherapist can and
will ask you questions beyond the scope defined by you. If the therapist tries to
exceed this limitation, then your conscious mind resists and takes over and you
come out of the trance.
PLR - Procedure
A Past Life Regressionist will ensure the following for the session:
1. Cool, calm and serene place
4. Confirmation about exercise, massage, sleep, light food, kidney, liver cleanse etc.
11. Subsequently, to imagine your left toe getting lighter and lighter
And so on …
Moving up to the pelvic portion, abdomen, kidney, liver, heart, lungs, chest, neck,
shoulders and from there to your right hand, left hand, throat, jaw, tongue, mouth,
nose, head, brain, eyes etc…
At the end of this procedure, most people are hypnotised and the actual process
begins.
Once inside, you come face to face with your past life. You are at a particular place
at a particular time. The role of your imagination ends at this stage. The
hypnotherapist is now going to navigate you during the rest of the session to find
answers to the most complicated events of your present life. Sometimes the
therapist may need to channel some energy from the head to the heart. This will
enhance the trance. Rarely, very deep trance can cause a mild headache, which
goes away in 10-15 minutes. Sometimes, you may see demons or scenes of your
own death, punishment or rape and your body becomes tense. Experience the pain
and relieve the event from your past life, so that the baggage of that life, which you
have been carrying for so many years, is released. The experience may make you
cry. Let your tears flow and have a cathartic effect. Rest assured that life after the
session is going to be greatly less stressful and much more enjoyable.
Souls sometimes use dreams as a means of their communication. Many people see
dreams. Many such dreams remain incomplete or they forget the contents. It is
possible to revive all such memories from sub-conscious mind and interpret the
message.
Why can‟t bad things happen after PLR? Because you look for answers to your most
complicated problems of this life.
I am keen to do your PLR. If distance and work schedule do not permit a meeting,
then I can do your PLR over the phone. In that case, you should keep your phone in
a stationary position near year ear or use earphones. If the line gets disconnected
during the session and you are already in a trance, then I can‟t bring you back
because connectivity is lost. In this case, you will come out of the trance in 15-20
minutes. Subsequently, you can call me so that we may start again.
