Myths & Facts
Lets debunk some of the Past Life Regression Myths.
I am encountering so many problems, they must all be from a past life!
Most problems actually have their origin in our own past life. Traumas that we went through as children (dropping an ice cream!) and as adults (heartbreak, losing someone close, etc.) generally get more in the way. Having said that, I had a fear of swimming, or driving my car that I only understood after regressing to a lifetime where I was an Indonesian fisherman and I drowned or met with an accident, and I carry that fear in this life.
Will I remember everything about my past life?
When we start a regression session, we set an intention for the session. Most times, when travelling back, we will remember the past life situations that are important to us right now. However, sometimes these memories will not pop up as easily as those from our current lives. We might just witness shards of images here and there or merely feel the emotions. That’s ok! Sometimes it needs a little more practice, and sometimes just the flashes you do get will tell us the right story.
I need a clear intention before I travel back to a past life.
Yes, having an understanding of what you wish to understand is a good way to go. However, because our Higher Self sometimes knows better than we do in our minds, the subconscious mind takes over when intention is unclear.
I can ensure that I won’t go back to a traumatic event.
Now this is a tricky one. As therapists, we always try not to show you anything too traumatic or severe, but sometimes your Higher Self disagrees, so we make you an observer and allow you to only observe or see what is happening from a faraway place (a safe place). If one does not feel emotions while regressing in such a case, it becomes very easy for a person to complete the session and understand the reality.
I only have previous lives on Earth.
It doesn’t happen very often, but there have been a few cases where the regression has taken you back to a life on another planet or in another solar system. No need to doubt yourself when this happens and your memory doesn’t make logical sense, just remember that it is all about the lessons you learned in that lifetime and the intentions you set for your future lives.
I should only go backwards in time during a Past Life Regression.
Again, it doesn’t happen very often, but sometimes we do get taken forward in time in a session too. This might mean it is more important to see the consequences of your actions as opposed to what got you here. But at the same time, it can show you what is needed for you to accomplish in this lifetime, so you can work on that.
I have been an animal in a past life.
Technically, that is possible, but we know you will have taken hundreds of human lives already, and it would be more beneficial to focus on those. Having said that, it is possible that in a regression you run into an animal or pet
I have been a celebrity in a past life
Again, technically possible… But I have yet to encounter someone who really was. It is more plausible that you were someone close to a celebrity.
I keep sharing my lifetimes with my complete Soul group?
While we might run into Soulmates, Twin Flames and Divine Life Partners (keep an eye out for them in a regression!), it doesn’t mean that all of your soul group incarnates physically with you every time. It could be that some stay behind to guide you spiritually, or that you choose to go through different spiritual experiences at the same time.
