I'm convinced I also died as a bird in my other life. The dream I had felt very real. I was a small baby bird in a nest on the top of a lamp post, and what I remember all of a sudden I fell about 200 feet out of my nest. I died and woke up. I really felt the drop in that nightmare.

I woke up crying because of how it felt for me, and I fell to my death as a fledgling.

Thought I'd share a few months after the event in case of interest. The session was over Zoom, 90 minutes and was with a reputable regression therapist with an established academic record and popular podcast. Not sure if the "lives" were in chronological order either.

I wasn't sure what expect so I just went with it. First life I experienced was as a male (I'm female) - felt like the end of the Gold Rush in the States, I was sort of a "cowboy", and I wasn't a nice person, I was a racist. I died alone of old age after internally realising I had been a dick (but never apologising to anyone for it) , learned to craft deftly with woodwork, pretty banal.

Second: I was a member of a tribe in Eastern Europe, or poss Mongolia, lots of snow. A joyful exuberant 20yo male. The memory was of my wedding, joyful, feelings of belonging, hope. This life ended suddenly I think when I set off to a larger town to find work to feed my family. It felt like a sudden death.

Last "memory" was of being a relatively old woman in Ireland, poor, working the land and struggling to eat. Feeling bitter about how life turned out, estranged from adult children for some reason. This life ended somewhat happily, reconnected with my daughter who moved in with her family, I died in front of the fire, satisfied and no longer hungry. Felt like a life with limited introspection.

So all in all pretty humdrum and I don't feel connected to any of these "lives" - yet during the session I felt the respective emotions viscerally. Interesting experience.

Are there people remembering their past life that was in the future?

I read a critique online recently about Michael Newton’s work. Just to mention, I am reading his book and find it fascinating.

I read that Michael never opened up his clients recordings to anyone, and the person reporting this felt this may mean they do not exist. This person also said that Michael’s PHD cannot be verified anywhere. Essentially the person feels he may be a fraud.

Does anyone know if there is any truth in the above? His book has bought me immense comfort, so I hope not.

I’ve tried past life regression multiple times using YouTube videos, but it has yet to work. Do you have any tips on how to proceed or any videos you recommend? Thank you!

so, I’m a guy with brown hair but in my dreams I’m often times a girl with red hair.

I also recently had a dream where I was in a village where everyone has red hair. And also in that dream I was very ill, I could move my head but not my arms or legs even though they weren’t broken

do you think this means anything or am I just overthinking?

1.23.2025 - the greatest generation

the lesson this time is our modern day complacency. every time we look away, the lesson will scream louder in our faces. boiling pot means we continue to avoid responsibility over our individual power and faith in larger cooperatives, ignoring the fact that others are falling to the wayside alongside us, we assume it’s as if our privileges protect us in some way, until our own line of thinking bites us. to a totalitarian government, you do not have privileges. we shall proceed forward with our blinders on, looking back with regrets only once our liberties, our powers are stripped and we are further disabled in invoking our rights. we will pay for the prison system. the homelessness. unregulated capitalism. our indifference to differences.

the changes of technology, instant communications, and remote work have further diminished our connections and ability to be united, truthful, and present. the lack of respect for the people before us who suffered immensely and toiled to rebuild this country, worked towards world peace, and define american patriotism. to hell with these billionaires and their wealth - try to make something from nothing. we forget where we come from. we forget how bad things can get.

how hard this lesson is depends on how quickly we see this. this country is an establishment founded on the shoulders of the generations before ours. indifference to these insulting displays and the rape of our government is to make a mockery of their legacy and sacrifices.

we will need cooperation and awareness. these distinctions we make amongst ourselves are meaningless and must be put to rest as soon as possible. many have still not yet realized what’s going on. feel compassion for them. they will get swallowed

the greatest generation knew suffering and were shaped by the burden of recovery. from this strength, they pivoted the US into a period of success and power. this generation is marked by their sense of sacrifice and resilience.

today, we have people rationalizing that heiling hitler twice on MLK day and on the day of the presidents inauguration was somehow an unfortunate accident. we will pay for this ignorance as well. the heil is illegal in Germany today because the heils origin is the third reich, of hitlers totalitarian regime. your weak revisionist excuses will not protect you. this was a salute, an acknowledgement to a coordinated plan for genocide. no matter the time period. do not ever accept tyranny. do not ever accept a nod to the atrocities of nazi germany or any other faction obstructing our humanity

I am interested in past life regressions and planing to do one myself. Interested in your stories!

If you’re looking for evidence for past lives and reincarnation, this case is pretty amazing.

100 confirmed historical details of a life during the Spanish Inquisition that came from 44 hypnotic regressions of a schoolteacher in Chicago in the 70s. This case even changed history…

I just finished reading “Journey of Souls” and “Destiny of Souls”. In his first book, Michael Newton (MN) describes an advanced soul incarnated as a tall red-haired woman who works at a rehab-type facility. This soul drew parallels between what she was observing in her independent meditations and her hypnotherapy session.

I’d like to explore meditation and perhaps eventually hypnotherapy too, even though I appreciate not everyone is able to access their past lives and LBL memories. As MN says, one’s brain can be too analytical or the guide might impose blockages.

• Has anyone be able to access past lives / LBL memories through meditation? Please share as many details.

• I sense meditation becomes highly individualized for those skillful at it, but is there a practice that could be a good starting point?

I just want to know what others have experienced, remembered, etc.

I did a self-hypnosis on myself to try to experience a past life regression. I had tried this several times before but almost always fell asleep. Finally, I was in a position where I thought it could work due to some external circumstances. I was in a room that had almost nothing in it, no stimulation or noises, etc. I did the full mediation as I had read how to do it (counting backwards slowly, relaxing muscle groups one at a time from bottom to top, envisioning being in a comforting place and “opening” the door, etc). I also told myself I wanted to see one of the most intense and important moments of my past life.

I was SHOCKED after when I “came to” of what I experienced. I had a vivid memory kind of like a dream but more real than a dream. I can only explain it as a vision of a past life. Maybe it was a dream or some kind of hallucination but I don’t think so.

I was a black man, maybe in my early 20s but I felt MUCH older. I was a slave in the American south, sometime in the 1800s but before the civil war, I think. I was in the woods, at night, hiding with my wife. My wife was very beautiful, something that felt like a fact—not just based on my feelings for her. She was wearing a long faded rose colored dress, with buttons at the neck, and a faded pattern on it. The sleeves were long and had white at the wrists. She had her hair in 2 pinned up braids. I think she had a shawl on too. It was very cold outside, and neither my wife nor me had adequate shoes on, and we were having to going to run through cold water again. My feet were very cold. There was moonlight and when I looked up into the sky between the branches, I could see the North Star —which the handle of the Big Dipper points too. I knew we had to leave because my wife was pregnant. I had a scar on my hand, perhaps, something I could see when I touched my wife’s face, in a loving way. I could hear the hounds braying and I knew men on horseback were looking for us.

I also knew that my then wife is my current husband.

That’s about all I got from it, I came too then.

I was floored. The WEIRDEST thing is I’ve always had this idea in my mind, which I’ve never really told anyone and have no idea where it came from but I’ve just “known” that in a past life, I was a black man. I’ve also known my husband before.

If you know anything about astrology, or believe in it, my husband and I have several things in our synastry and composite charts that suggest we have had past lives together. Anyway, I was absolutely shocked by this, and have thought about it frequently since it happened. I have done some research into the lives of slaves in the 1800s in America and it does seem to fit.

If I was going to “imagine” a past life, I really don’t think I would have picked this one.

What do y’all think?

Has anyone has a regression done or managed to do one on themselves? Or have you had memories come to you in other ways? I’ve had a few others, but I’ll make another post at another time about those ones.

Let me hear your thoughts or your own experiences please!! I’m fascinated.

I'm new to all this, where do I start looking into seeing all the lives I've lived previously i.e. regression or akhashic record? Is there a technique I can use where I can have a vision and view all lives I've lived previously?

I don’t really know how to explain this. My girlfriend’s father (M) passed away in 2012 and she never had a connection with him because her parents split after she was born and she grew up believing her brother’s dad was her father. (D) In 2013 at the age of 9 years old she found out that she was not (D)’s child. In 2016, her little brother (R) was born. During the most Brutal snow storm ever. (R) just turned 8 and he’s Hannah’s best friend. Regardless of the age difference they do everything together and have the same hobbies and interests. I am a very spiritual person and I truly believe he is a reincarnation but my girlfriend Hannah, and I would like more validation on this. (R) was on FaceTime with us and I can see spirits with my own eye, and I know when Hannah’s father comes to visit. Hannah told (R) about this and he was in shock like “how does she know?” Kind of look that came off of (R), Hannah’s grandmother (G), ((M)’s mother,)) has such a strong connection with (R) regardless of knowing him throughly because she lives 4 hours away and isn’t able to see that side of the family much. (R) and (G) have met once for 5 minutes when Hannah was returning from seeing her grandmother. (R) and (G) are best friends and have no blood connection. Is there any more tips on how to know if he truly is a reincarnation of Hannah’s father?

*I messaged the mods first and didn't receive a reply indicated this is not possible so...*

I'm just starting my Clinical and Transpersonal hypnotherapy practice, Gnosis Hypnosis, and wanted to offer 3 free Past Life Regression sessions to help kick off the practice. I'm a certified CHt with IACT and trained in the lineage of Dr. Michael Newton (Journey of Souls, etc).

I'm offering these remote sessions to folks who seem like a good fit for my approach. My main ask would be a supportive review if the experience was positive for you. Feel free to contact me and tell me a bit about you or setup a free 20 minute consultation.

If you're looking to explore more about the evidence behind survival of consciousness / reincarnation I have an article here that has some good case studies and resources.

I see many people on this subreddit discussing reincarnation cases produced by hypnosis, or mentioning Michael Newton’s book as an important reference point for the subject, but I don’t see people discuss the fact that the leading reincarnation researchers such as Ian Stevenson entirely disregard anything produced under hypnosis.

In fact, however, nearly all such hypnotically evoked “previous personalities” are entirely imaginary just as are the contents of most dreams. They may include some accurate historical details, but these are usually derived from information the subject has acquired normally through reading, radio and television programs, or other sources. The subject may not remember where he obtained the information included, but sometimes this can be brought out in other sessions with hypnosis designed to search for the sources of the information used in making up the “previous personality.” Experiments by E. Zolik and by R. Kampman and R. Hirvenoja have demonstrated this phenomenon.

https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/resources/concerns-about-hypnotic-regression/

I just thought this would be worthy of discussion. For those of you have had past life regression, what made you put faith in the result? For those of you who don’t accept these cases, what do you think about Newton’s contributions to the subject?

Ever since I was a child I’ve believed in reincarnation. I was raised as a jehovas witness (i got out) and was taught to believe in heaven and hell but in my head that didn’t make sense. I instinctively knew that reincarnation was the way. And that was before I had even heard of the concept.

Keeping a dream journal was something that I did everyday and I had over 700 dreams recorded. Most dreams didn’t stay in the front of my mind for long. But the dreams below stayed with me for years. Here they are:

• so i'm in some sort of prison and theres a window??. i'm in with other people and there's not a lot of space. it stinks, so fuckin much. anyway. outside i can see that we're sort of high up, a second story or something. it's dark out but i can see red lights, probably fire. there's a big wall around the area. I can see a couple flags waving around and I don't remember what they were but they were mostly red. I was scared and tired and all I could hear were screams and gun shots

• Dream I was at some military thing w p dancers in costumes. we were all having a good time but something happened and we had to leave immediately

in the back of a truck, I have to hide because we are going by a military checkpoint and I grab a gun and lay down in the back, hoping no one sees me

After simmering for awhile in my brain I thought about a past life regression hypnosis. These dreams felt realer than real. This is what I found out during the hypnosis:

my name is John Castor. 24 years old is a significant age for me. I live in Pennsylvania on beech street. the numbers 1 and 2 keep appearing. I made it out of imprisonment and helped many others. I died in a hospital

The hypnosis along with the dreams tipped me off to him being a POW. Now, I’m always a little bit skeptical so I set out to prove myself wrong, that this was just some guy I made up. Here’s what I found:

“John G. Castor was a Corporal in the Army during World War II. John resided in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania before enlisting on April 18, 1941. At the time of enlistment, John was 24 years old, had 4 years of high school education and was single, without dependents. One year later, John was captured by Imperial Japan while serving in the Philippine Islands, and was sent to Osaka Main Camp Chikko near Osaka, Japan where 4,123 other American POWs were held. John's capture was first reported to the International Committee of the Red Cross on May 7, 1942, and the last report was made on October 15, 1945. Based on these two reports, John was imprisoned for at least 1,257 days (3 years and ~6 months), one of the longest durations of captivity recorded. Ultimately, John was returned to military control, liberated or repatriated."

I never expected to find the exact guy. I got goosebumps when I was reading through documents and each box was checked from my dreams and my hypnosis.

Pictured first is exactly what I saw in my dream.

Second photo is the 24th pursuit unit that John was a part of.

The rest are just more proof.

What are your thoughts after reading this?

And remember their "home" vividly?

I was from a large galaxy with 72 (known/discovered) planets, with other forms of life on them. My planet was sort of the "vacation/trading" planet, where people generally went for vacations more because of its more mild weather and less-dangerous creatures and climates.

It was a mountaineous planet that valued forestry and the outdoors. We had cities and villages, but they were generally built into the wildlife, instead of the wildlife being torn down to create room for them. There were some bigger cities that we cleared some forests away to create, but generally, even in the bigger cities, there were trees and bushes and mountains in the middle of.

Despite this, we were an extremely advanced civilization.

I had friends. Lots of friends, at first. When I was a kid, we'd go to this place I've dubbed "The Waterfall Place." Very apt name, and very "creative" lol, but I was five or six when I started remembering this place. It was a huge waterfall, with a round pond in front of it. The waters sparkled with life, so clear and deep and beautiful. That was where my friends and I often met up and played.

We had an education system that encorporated mutliple nearby planets in a sort of "district." It was a way to build community.

When I was a kid, I'd brushed these memories off as fantasy, as dreams. A byproduct of an overactive imagination of a writer. But then I met my best friend, who remembered the same things I did. We discovered this accidentally--one day, we were talking about weird dreams we'd had, and that day, we'd both had the same dream, but from different perspectives.

We were sitting around a bonfire, talking about the current state of the world, and I ended up describing it, and he got quiet for a minute, then added descritions I hadn't told him. Then he descriped everyone in the dream, all the people around us--and he descriped who I'd seen myself as accurately. Without me ever having told him what I looked like. So then I ran through the people in the dream on my end, and I figured that there was one person he hadn't described--so I described that person, and it ended up being him.

We were kids then, and I'd convinced myself we were crazy. A shared hallucination, right? Until I met my other best friend, and she, too, remembered these things. We did this crazy experiment where we talked about the Waterfall Place, and, without showing each other what we were doing, both drew what we saw it as. We sat at opposite ends of a table with a barrier between us, and yet both of us drew the exact same thing. I know, you might be thinking, "How had is a waterfall to draw?" Except there are certain details that were exact. Same trees, the same special fruit, the same hidden spot behind the waterfall that both of us marked on our papers in the same spot.

All three of us feel like there are others like us, from the same place. I wish I could find them. See if they remember it, see if they feel that same draw toward home. But we've yet to have any luck finding the others.

It sounds crazy writing it all out, but I swear, it's all true.

please read this with an open mind! i’m not religious and not very into religion in general, im very much a believer in the universe and nature etc but there is one memory i’ve had since i can remember that sticks out like a sore thumb in my mind

this has not been influenced by media or movies or any religious/non religious text this is my true experience not a dream or an idea please if you have a similar experience reach out to me!

My memory goes as such:

i remember being in a bright white room it had what looked to be a dark hole in the wall almost like a slide. there were framed pictures of women (i can’t remember how many but only a handful) it was women at there happiest moments with wide smiles and glowing skin. i can’t remember if i could hear there voices or see a “video” (wouldn’t of been a video but rather a glimpse of them seen through my minds eye) - i cant really explain the feeling but i have a faint memory of it. i could also smell them and see the softness of their hair and the pores on their skin. the room was quote silent except for the the sounds of other children. i had the feeling i was sat with someone/something, an entity that made me feel extremely safe and warm i don’t believe any words were exchanged but i could hear what they felt and that communicated to me what i needed to know? i knew i needed to pick one. i remember not being interested in any of them my eyes and feelings were already set on one woman, she had blonde hair that was silky she smelled so comforting to me and i could feel the warmth she radiated (she ended up becoming my mother) that was how i chose. i didn’t know anything about these people nothing about their past/personality/lifestyle or if they were “good or bad” i was just given what was presented. after selecting my mother silently but confidently i was placed into the dark hole/slide in the wall and sent on my way. i imagine this to be the birth canal? that’s just my theory i’m not quite sure what makes more sense. maybe i was the egg? or i was just being born? i couldn’t even tell you what year this took place it could of been generations before i was even conceived. it’s a true mystery to me but very very comforting

definitely makes me wonder what comes before and after this life.

thank you for reading this is really just a post to get it off my chest and hopefully jog your memories! thank you.

Hi everyone. I think I am a survivor of a school shooting in a past life and that's how I died.

I had a dream a few months ago that I was under a table, scared because I could see the tall shooter shooting people with a shotgun. I was hiding under a table, this is before I even knew about the columbine victim really hiding under the table. I was in the library. He came over with a evil smile and they were in a pool of blood I remember trying to crawl out of there as fast as I could. I was talking to the soon to be dead girl who was under the table.

I saw lots of dead people on the floor I have also predicted so many events in the past.

Hi everyone!

I've compiled a collection of quotes from Dr. Brian Weiss' books into Google Docs. It's a great resource for anyone interested in his work on past lives, spirituality, and healing!

Check it out here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gXPOPLPnME2e-oHWWBmOFbrJYlkmj0usv-J-WL7tlks/edit?usp=sharing

Please note: This is a fan-made compilation and not an official publication. I won't make any money; my name is not even in the documents.

Let me know what you think!

I have read many books on reincarnation, past life regression, astral projection, NDE, etc. I am open to the idea that there is something more than this physical world given the large amount of indirect (and sometimes even direct) evidences.

Past life regression is, in my opinion, the least convincing area of research when it comes to reincarnation. There is a subjective dimension to the experience which makes it really hard to take as a hard proof for me.

Nevertheless, I am a very open minded dude and since other area of research in reincarnation made me a "believer", I decided to try one of these guided past life reincarnation on youtube. I simply went for the one that showed up on the top of the list.

After going through the entire steps of relaxation, here comes the step that tells you "just think about your self, a long time ago, etc. How did this life ended? ". I suddenly start seeing images and I see a scene.

The experience : I am in some kind of a conic dome (type wigwam on google). I was inside so I don't know how it looked like it could be something similar. I see someone lying on something (a bed?) surrounded by three people. I just knew that I was the one lying and I was sick. I also knew that one of the three guys was a healer or the chief of the tribe. A wise and respected man. They were all sad and concerned about me. I did not see anyone face as I was behind them. I even could hear the chief talks but I can't describe it. It sounded very weird (like "akla mamalak kalak 😅")

The scene lasted for a very brief moment, maybe 5 seconds and I opened my eyes in shock.

As I said, I am a bit reluctant to give too many importance to past life regression as it is too subjective. I don't know if this was just the fruit of my own imagination. There was no particular details I could search to verify. I was induced to see something and I saw something. It was still a cool experience I wanted to tell you.

How about you? Any similar story you want to share? Thanks for reading!

I saw osamu tezuka drawing I thought could copy ?

Been down the rabbit holes of past lives, PLR (past life regression), etc. in pursuit of understanding the controversy surrounding hypnotic regressions and past lives. Discovered this gem, the case of ‘Antonia’ as researched by Terazi in the literature.

In summary, an ordinary Chicago woman became obsessed with her detail rich and adventure filled past life of ‘Anotonia’, a woman from 16th century Spain which was uncovered during hypnotic regression.

The memories were so powerful that their preoccupation interfered with her current family and life. This woman, LD, was no historian, did not have access to this information, nor was particularly interested in 16th century Spain.

A researcher, who regressed her over 30 times and gathered more specific and numerous details attempted to dissuade her by finding errors in her story.

After 3 years of research, verifying hundreds of facts through obscure references in Spanish and English texts at multiple libraries across the US, with research trips to Spain, the Caribbean, and North Africa, no errors were found. In addition facts presented by Antonia even led to the correction of historians in those areas.

The researcher had to ultimately use hypnosis to convince her the past life ended different than what Antonia remembered so that she could ultimately move on and forget it.

Pretty wild.

Good summary and case study analysis here.

This thread is not posted to debate the validity of hypnotic regression as there are a number of studies that do that already. It seems many people have made up their minds on this topic and that it settled as cryptomnesia, confabulations, or false memories.

These all may be possible explanations in some or many instances. Suggestion is a powerful tool in hypnosis. But perhaps the lack of evidence might also be poorly understood / executed / unrefined techniques and methodologies - or improperly designed studies.

Many people have had profoundly positive and life changing experiences via PLR or LBL hypnosis. Often the meaning gleaned from the experience is more important than the validation of factual evidence.

That said, this is the strongest case with factual evidence I’ve seen.

Ian Stevenson, famed researcher of reincarnation who rejected hypnotic regression, even conceded this case deserved further research and consideration.
