Although skeptical, I'm open about spiritual stuff. My boyfriend, who is from Germany, did one a couple years ago. He saw himself as a young native American woman. However, the session was conducted by an amateur hypnotist. (It was free) And his past life vision was cut short. So he couldn't gather much information from it. He now wants to try it again. Has anyone ever tried it? If you have, how was it?
Had anyone ever done a past life regression?

Past life regressions just allow people to plant ideas in your head about things that never happened. Do enough of them and you’ll believe every member of your extended family molested you when you were 11, but you “forgot” until just now. Bitch, please

I participated in one when I was 18, I'm 44 now, and to this day I believe in what I saw. It was so real to me that I can still describe everything all these years later.
I wasn't famous or anything and it was like a snapshot into my life the last 24 hours before dying. I was not old, but died in a fire while spending the weekend with a lover. I was a woman in it.
It was maybe 1910-1930, but hard to tell as I was in a rural area.

I have not done past life regression because, to be frank, I've had a hard enough time holding this current life together. Taking on one or more others seems overwhelming.
In 5th grade, we had to do book reports and I chose Ruth Montgomery's "A World Beyond." That's an unusual choice for a 5th grader. Even as a child, I was interested in the idea of a life other than my own. Make of that what you will.
As I look back it, my 5th grade teacher handled it well. In 6th grade I was denounced by my rock-ribbed conservative teacher during Current Events for bringing in Tallulah Bankhead's obituary. The topic was unsuitable. Tallulah was unsuitable. And I certainly got the message that I was unsuitable, too. Fuck that old woman.
I couldn't take on a second life filled with more weird episodes.

I did one and it focused on the day I got married, sometime in the late 19th century. I was a bride and while walking down the aisle with my father looked up as two birds flew into the church. It was a strong image but no clue what it meant to my life then or now.

The whole impetus behind any past life regression is to provide you with information on unresolved elements you have in this life. The subconscious communicates in images, metaphors, as clues to help you.
One of the simplest methods is to sit quietly, and relax yourself, focusing on each area of your body, from head to toe. When you feel relaxed, with your eyes closed, think about looking down at your feet, and notice what, if anything, you’re wearing. (Go with your first impulse that comes to mind.)
Then gradually look at what else you’re wearing. Then notice where you are located, other people around you, if any, and ensuing actions. Along with this will come various feelings, which can also assist you in determining what kind of effect this experience has in your life today.
You see, the point is to discover subconscious messages to assist you in this life. Whether these other experiences are historical is beside the point. Not everyone can have been Cleopatra. (Most of us were hardscrabble farmers, for eons...)
But the experience can be illuminating, and works even better in an organized support group setting.

A friend had a gathering of people so they could have regression sessions with this woman he believed in.

I was the only one that was publicly known among the other guests though. Still... I think something like this has got to resonate deeply within you for it to be effective.

Had two past life regressions 40 years ago. Yes I'm bronze age. The first: Lived on an island just off the shore of Sweden and worked in a stable. 1820's-1840's. Was a nasty and unhappy man. Died of scarlet fever or TB in my early 30's. I still have a vivid recollection of seeing myself on my death bed. Sparsely furnished attic room, late summer, I sit up and start vomiting blood. I recalled the name of the town where I lived and found it on a map of Sweden: Svanesund. Actually finding the town on the map freaked my out and no I am not from a Scandinavian background.
Second time I got much less information. Lived in East Africa in what is now Kenya or Tanzania. Again I was male. Nomadic cattle herder in the 1460's-1480's. Had a very happy life and a large family. In this real or imagined culture when you got too old to move to the next camp the tribe would leave you to die or I decided this for myself. Again a vivid set of images; lying under a lean-to on the cracked hardpan earth of a drought filled landscape. Swinging my homemade crutch as a female lion grabbed my leg, pulled me out of the lean-to and proceeded to kill and eat me.

I was very petite and small, and wore a distinct cornflower blue ladies suit, button up blacks boots (worn) and I could see the sides of my auburn hair. It was Christmas morning and I was snowed in with a large bearded man in a thick red chamois shirt. He had a very early camera and wanted to take a picture of me behind this cabin/house to prove that we couldn't have gotten to town. I posed on a piece of wood and he took two. I adjusted a metal barette in my hair, but noticed my hand was numb and I was freezing--no real coat, thin gloves--We went inside and he made a fire. We had really good sex in front of the fire and fell asleep. I was a woman, probably not a virgin. I woke to the smell of his shirt and flesh burning up. I looked up and his face was melting. We both died. Maybe we were newlyweds? We were in love.

I ran out in black briefs and a tee and barely made it. Total loss. I would say the regression helped me through this life's fire. My partner at the time worked nights and wasn't home, but it was a strange ordeal. I was so happy just to have lived. The fire started below me, I was on the second floor, so no self-fulfilling prophecy.

Anything is possible and I won't be ruling out reincarnation until I die. That said human mind is capable of creating absolutely fantastic imagery and stories all by itself. Our minds are like sponges taking in everything we see. All the movies, all the stories we've read and heard, they are there in our minds. Believe me we're totally capable of creating very vivid mental simulations without anyone helping.
Just today when I was slowly waking up in the morning I kept drifting in and out of sleep. I remember experiencing a few narrative situations happening in my half sleep but one that really stuck out was when I was talking towards a man sitting on a chair in a beautiful room. When I got close I realized it was me. I walked to him and for some reason slapped him hard in the face. Then I leaned in to kiss him and I knew we were going to have sex. And then the bloody alarm snooze went off on my phone. I was like FUCK NOOOOO!!!!

I never have OP and if I did decide to undergo a PLR I would only have it performed by a trained professional. And based upon conversations I had with psychology professors and psychiatrists (many decades ago as an undergraduate student) not one who doesn't believe in the eye-roll test to determine hypnotic susceptibility.
The test determines if one is hynotizable, as I agree with the theory that10% of the population is not hypnotizable; they can be brought down to a state of relaxation at the most, but that's about it. I personally would only go to a trained, experienced professional who believes in the eye-roll test theory. Otherwise, if they don't believe in this test/theory, and therefore don't perform the test prior to the regression, I personally wouldn't waste my time with them.

^ Sorry, I thought most people knew of it. Anyway, it's a very quick and simple test most anyone can perform on another (not on yourself) where one rolls their eyeballs straight up as far as they can and the more white that is showing the more hynotizable you are. So the less white and the more color the less hypnotizable. That's the short of the long of a simple basic test but one that not all of them perform or believe in.
I am on my way out now and can't be late so I'll provide a good link when I return or you can just google 'eye roll test for hypnotic susceptibility.' The 20 second YT vids are very helpful.

I think I already told this story in another thread but will repeat it. I was hypnotized and taken back to a past life. The man who hypnotized me was well known and had been called in to hypnotize Patty Hearst during her trial but found out it would not be permissible in court so he didn't do it. A group of us got together and no one wanted to go under so I volunteered.
I studied reincarnation a lot. I went back and forth whether I believed or not. I finally decided that we don't get just one chance in life to get it right. We experience different lives as male, female, black, white, different countries, etc.etc. so we can learn and understand. Those that you see like Trump are young souls and have not learned much yet. Those like the Dali Lama are old souls. Some people come back just to help others along. This is my last trip.
There have been people that have vividly remembered things about their past lives and then researched and found them to be true. I have a grandson that remembers his past life. He did things from the age of 1½ years of age that indicated this. He would wake up at the age of two and would go into the kitchen and bang his fist on the table and say, "where's my coffee?" At 3 he was on the couch covered in Nestle's Quik. My daughter saw him and stood with her mouth open in shock and he said, "what? I need my sugar!" There were many more things and sometimes when he did or said something my daughter would ask was that in this life or the last one. He would think about it and then just giggle. He was still under the age of 5. Most kids forget by the time they are 8 but he didn't and still remembers a few things. he's 22 now
Today I am short and with dark hair and eyes and live I the US. In the1980's I was hypnotized and I was taken back to 1492. I knew I was in Scotland. The first thing I saw was a girl about 15, tall with long strawberry blond hair to her knees, in a dress and shoe less. I stared at her and knew it was me even though it didn't look like me. I was standing on a really High hill over looking a castle. I saw a carriage coming down the road to the castle and there were two men hanging off the back of it like firemen on a truck. I couldn't see the man on one side but knew he was there. I did see the other one. He was dressed in pantaloons and had one of those hats on with a huge plume hanging out of it and they were going really fast. (guess men and speed have always been a thing lol) The hypnotist kept talking to me asking me questions and I remember thinking, leave me alone, I want to watch this because it was like watching a movie but I seemed compelled to answer his questions. He asked me where I was and I told him. He asked what year it was and I told him. He asked me if I went to school and I kept repeating school? school? what's school? even though in my head I knew what it was. My head and neck kept twitching and I remember hearing him tell the others present that it must have been an affliction I had at the time. I didn't seem to have control over it while under hypnosis.
All of a sudden I was in the house that I lived in at the time. It was one huge room with other family members there. The floor was dirt and there were little animals inside and I remember thinking, oh we are really poor. I remember this tiny pig in there too and always thought that was a little odd. Then I was brought out of it. I so wanted to stay but guess I had been under for quite a while. I'm sure it would have been different if I was experiencing something horrible. it's been over 30 years and I still remember everything about it clearly. I was glad I did it.

A colleague's 3-year old son has told her stories about "his other mother" since he could talk. She freaks out internally but tries to show no reaction when he tells her things about his other mommy. When I was around 11 years old I was on a road trip with my parents. My dad got off the highway and was driving around in a town no one in my family had ever been to or had any connection to. We passed a house, completely ordinary house probably built in the early 1900s. It was beige stucco with brown trim (but not a Tudor) and a front door with half-moon windows. I knew with complete certainty that I knew that house. I could imagine exactly what it looked like inside. I never pursued it but I know that I am small and insignificant enough to know that I will never understand the infinite possibilities of how the universe works.

In my mind it was a day away from Gothenburg. In the 21st century the trip would take an hour. In the african life " I " had no concept of place in relation to countries. I assumed east Africa based on the fact my tribe were cattle herders, nomadic, black skinned, and lions were present. What you don't realize when you do a regression it that you really are dropping into a mostly alien mind. Yes it's YOU if you believe in reincarnation ... but it's also not you as the knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes, you hold in that life can be very different from who you are today. There is a part of you 'soul' that does know more, that can seem to navigate and KNOW. Much of this is hard to describe and will truly do a number on your head if you are not prepared for it.

I do recall, at 16, touring a village near Avignon and knowing I had lived in a home very similar to one we toured. It was just something I knew. No one in my family is French, and the buildings were not at all familiar to me.
At 23, I was walking alone through the streets of Moscow. This was before the collapse, and before a lot of Moscow buildings were demolished. I passed an area of apartment buildings from the mid 19th century. I just knew I had been in these streets before, but I also knew I had not lived in Moscow.
I have never had any such experiences since, nothing even close in any of my travels, or anywhere for that matter, and I am now 57. I still remember those feelings very distinctly.

I have not undergone hypnosis, though I have had many dreams that are similar to watching a movie. In each one, I am a different person, yet somehow understand it is me. Two people who feature frequently in these dreams are my mother, and a close woman I once lived with. They are always different people too, but know and FEEL it is them. I know my close friend was my wife at one time, and the mother of my children in a previous life. My mum has undergone PLR. In one lifetime she is a nun living in a convent, and feels she had been involved in the Catholic church in more than one lifetime in the 18th -19th century, as well as earlier incarnations. Another regression took her back to France, she was very rich, and described a castle like setting. She can describe her clothes and hair and fabric in great detail. She believes it was 1500'or 1600's. She remembers running from a small window, peering out and seeing her husband coming. She remembers hiding, and feeling the knowledge he is going to kill her. She feels she may be guilty of adultery, or at the very least suspected of it. She has other memories too, but these two are the ones that stand out most vividly n my memory. It is odd that ten years after doing this, a psychic once told her she was very much involved with the Catholic Church over several lifetimes. We are Jewish. I'm not sure what to make of many of my own dreams, yet believe if these are accurate memories of a sort, it does make sense we have soulmates, and reincarnate with these same people to work out our karma. It would be the only rational explanation for my recurring dreams. For people curious to read more, and hungry for "evidence", I suggest reading anything by Dr. Helen Wambach.

There is too much evidence to completely disregard the idea of past lives.
My husband was told by his dying mother that she knew he would marry (not legal for us then) and that in a past life, he had been my sibling (sister) and had left me for dead to marry well.
He never told me until I saw a psychic and she said that I would marry and my spouse would always care for me above all else (due to past life guilt).
Before we had these experiences, his sisters manipulated him all the time for money, help and wanted him with a different partner they liked (wealthy). Knowing his guilt toward his sisters was not based on the relationship in this life, he told them both he had been helping enough and decided to back off (he had been regularly paying bills and babysitting for them). When we married we were almost 40, so he had done 20 years of "helping" them. They both expected him to act as pseudo husband to them.
We married and they chose to stay in touch with his ex and shun him. He realized his karmic help was misplaced and that the guilt had been holding him back. Although painful, I think it was beneficial for his mom to have told him what she knew.
It is more than learning who you were...it may help with current issues.

Like what for instance?
Disregard it all you like - but you're full of shit.

Personal accounts, books by Wambach, Weiss, etc.
If you think it is such "shit," why bother commenting?
This theory helps people get rid of phobias and habits carried over from before birth. If it helps, it isn't "shit," in my opinion.

I never did a regression and can't remember if I posted this here before but here goes.
I was in Chicago in the late 90s and attended a group that had started to work through a Sonia Choquette book. (She's sort of a Marianne Williamson type, specific in our studies to trying to demystify psychic abilities - e.g. you don't get magic lottery numbers out of it, but hey, use and develop this sense wisely!)
Anyway, all nice people, and we are all in a small room. The leader looks at me, and he says, "You're a very centering force." He's next to me, and we do an exercise where we hold hands for a moment and do a meditation.
After the moment is done, he is wide eyed and says, "This is your first life as a man. I know this with certainty. I just had such an impression of your past life." I believe he said in one of them I was an Asian woman, giving birth in a rice paddy.
I don't know whether I believe or not. It remains on the "that's interesting" front for me. I've also heard certain astrological signs are an indicator of where you are in your journeys and that certain signs mean it may be your last trip.
In all matters of faith/spirituality/religion I respect the inquiries into the mysteries. I can't say that I support or am a follower of any finding but with few exceptions I don't dismiss them, either.

My previous life was in mid-20th century America. I was an extremely buxom redhead with a kimono that kept falling open. For several decades, I lived in a bungalow across from the Ohio State football practice field. I was popular there in my little corner of Columbus.
