Past Life Regression Session: What to Expect

Shambhala Healing Alchemy · 4 November 2026 · 4 minute read

A past life regression session is a guided journey in deep relaxation, similar to hypnosis, where you explore memories, images or feelings that may connect to another time. You stay aware and in control the whole time, and you can stop whenever you like. Afterwards you talk through what came up and how it may relate to patterns in your life now. A session with Rishi S takes 90 to 120 minutes, in person near Berwick and Narre Warren in Melbourne's south east, or online by video call.

You do not need to believe in past lives. Many people treat what comes up as symbolic, a story from the deeper mind, and still find it meaningful.

Why people book past life regression

People often come with a question rather than a problem to fix, for example:

• a fear or strong reaction that does not seem to have a clear cause in this life
• a pattern that keeps repeating in relationships, work or money
• a strong pull towards a place, culture or time in history
• curiosity, and a wish to know themselves more deeply

How to prepare

• Choose one intention. For example, "I would like to understand where my fear of water comes from." One clear question works better than many.
• Eat lightly and avoid alcohol beforehand, so you can relax and stay clear.
• For online sessions: a quiet room, headphones, a comfortable place to recline and your phone on silent.
• Let us know about your health. If you live with psychosis, dissociative conditions, severe trauma or epilepsy, please talk to your GP or psychologist before booking. Read is past life regression safe?

What happens in a past life regression session, step by step

1. A conversation. Your intention, what you hope to explore and any worries. Rishi explains every step.
2. Deep relaxation. Slow breathing and a calm voice guide you into a relaxed, focused state. You can still hear everything, move or speak.
3. The regression. You are gently guided to a memory or scene. Some people see clear pictures, some feel emotions or sensations, some simply "know" things. All of these are normal.
4. A safe return. You are brought back slowly to the present, with time to settle.
5. Making sense of it. You talk through what came up, what it may mean for you now and one small step to take into daily life.

How it may feel

Most people describe it as deeply relaxing, like the moment just before sleep. Emotions can come up, and that is fine: you are never pushed, and you can open your eyes at any time. Some people experience a lot in their first session, others very little. If little comes up, the deep rest itself is still valuable, and a second session often feels easier.

After your session

Drink water, take it easy for the rest of the day and jot down anything you remember. Insights often keep arriving over the following days. You can message us with questions afterwards.
