Yes, it is a common discovery in hypnosis. What I have seen in sessions is that souls often reincarnate within the same family line to keep working on shared lessons or to resolve old karma together. During a past life regression you might find that you were your own great grandparent, an uncle or an aunt a few generations back. Clients often tell me that this brings real clarity to recurring family dynamics. It also explains the strong familiarity some people feel with certain ancestral homes, heirlooms or relatives, a sense of already knowing a place or a person that they could never account for. The family you were born into may be one you have been part of for a very long time.

Karma is the spiritual law of cause and effect, what goes around comes around. In my experience, karmic debts or unresolved patterns come with you from past lifetimes when your soul did not fully take in a key lesson from an experience. During the past life review near the end of a session, you get to look at those difficult cycles with a wider view. When you consciously identify the lesson your soul was meant to learn, forgiveness or self trust for example, the pattern loses its grip. Clients often tell me that once they recognize the lesson clearly, they stop repeating the same painful loop in this life. That is what clearing karma looks like in practice, understanding rather than punishment.

Because your imagination is the delivery system. We normally take in information through our eyes and our ears, and this is not like that. The information comes through your inner senses, it enters your imagination, and you use your imagination to translate it into words so you can share it with me, so it can seem like you are making it up. Here is the difference between this and a dream, and a friend and fellow regressionist puts it perfectly. In a dream your conscious mind is asleep, so if purple pigs fly by carrying blue umbrellas, you do not question it, you just let the dream unfold. In hypnosis your conscious mind is in the background observing, and it may object that pigs are not purple and they do not fly, especially not with blue umbrellas. Yet when a dream ends and you look at the imagery, there is always meaning in it. So say the first thing that comes to mind, keep making it up, and save the analysis for after the session. We will talk about it once you open your eyes.

Your spirit guides are loving, non physical beings who watch over you and help you from the spirit world. When a guide or a whole spirit team steps forward during a past life regression or quantum healing hypnosis session, one of the first things I ask is for a specific name, because a name gives you a clearer connection to hold onto. Sometimes a guide offers a simple nickname to get started, and sometimes they confirm they are happy with whatever name you already use for them in meditation. Either way, you leave the session with a recognizable relationship you can keep building. That makes it much easier to reach out to them on your own in the self hypnosis exercises you take home.

They hold a high bar, and you formally apply rather than simply signing up. They look for at least 200 hours of formal hypnosis and regression training, hypnotherapy and past life regression training completed through an approved instructor, and real experience in the chair. That last one is the part people underestimate. They want one to two years of active practice and at least 40 documented past life regression sessions with your own clients before you enroll. My courses are approved to satisfy those prerequisites, and I will be honest with you about where you are on that road whenever you want to talk it through.

Intense, irrational likes and dislikes are very often carryovers from previous lives. An obsession with the Victorian era, a strong aversion to a particular culture, a refusal to watch anything medieval like Game of Thrones, these tend to have a story behind them. Your soul carries cellular memories of where you have lived and how you died. In my experience an obsession usually points to a comforting lifetime where you were happy and fulfilled, while a severe aversion typically marks a past life of real suffering in that region or era, imprisonment, trauma, or a hard death. A regression lets you go back and discover where the feeling comes from.
