While in hypnosis it is possible to access information about who we might have been in a past life. There are many possible reasons why a client may wish to explore a past life, such as to gain insight into a problem affecting them in this lifetime, or perhaps just for their own personal interest. Past life regression often has a profoundly cathartic effect and can leave the client feeling better and more focussed in various aspects of their life. 

​

While it is important to have an open mind when using past life regression therapy, it is not imperative to believe unequivocally in reincarnation. Aside from it being a genuine past life memory, other suggestions to explain the detailed nature of these memories include it being an ancestral or genetic memory, or a product of the client’s own unconscious which is presenting a metaphor or story to shed new light on a problem affecting their life. Whatever the beliefs behind these “memories”, past life regression can yield interesting results and positive benefits for the client time after time.
