Why Past Life Regression Helps You Break Cycles That Hold You Back

Have you ever felt like no matter how much work you do on yourself, certain patterns just keep repeating? The same types of relationships, the same struggles with money, the same fears that never seem to shift. You read the books, go to therapy, practise positive thinking… yet the cycle comes back around again.

That’s where Past Life Regression (PLR) can open a door. PLR is a powerful tool that allows us to uncover the deeper roots of our patterns. It gives us insight into where they began and, more importantly, how we can release them so we’re no longer bound by the past.

Some people approach PLR believing in reincarnation, others see it as the subconscious mind speaking in stories and metaphors. However you understand it, the experience often feels profoundly real, and the healing it brings can be life-changing.

Today, I want to show you how PLR works, why patterns carry through lifetimes, and how you can use this awareness to break free and create a new story in your life.

What is Past Life Regression (PLR)?

Past Life Regression (PLR) is a therapeutic process that uses hypnosis or deep relaxation to access memories of previous lifetimes. It’s not like daydreaming or drifting off, in fact, people are often surprised at how awake and present they feel.

Under gentle guidance, you access what you most need to see, feel, or know in that moment. Sometimes it’s a vivid memory, other times it’s a feeling, a knowing, or even a physical sensation in the body. What comes up is always relevant to what you’re facing now.

I like to describe it as opening a hidden file in your subconscious mind. Inside that file is the backstory to the patterns you’ve been living. Once you see it, you understand why things keep showing up, and you can finally choose something different.

Why Patterns Repeat Across Lifetimes

This is where things get really interesting. Many of the struggles we face today didn’t start here, they are echoes of the past.

1. Unresolved Experiences

When something traumatic or deeply emotional happens and isn’t resolved, the energy of that experience can carry forward into future lifetimes. It’s like unfinished business. The subconscious “remembers” and tries to protect us from it happening again, even if it’s no longer relevant.

• Someone who drowned in a past life may have an unexplained fear of water now.

• Someone who was betrayed may struggle with trust even when people around them are safe and loving.

• Someone who lived in poverty may feel constant anxiety about money, no matter how secure they are.

These patterns aren’t punishments. They’re the psyche’s way of saying, “Please heal this now.”

2. Old Beliefs and Vows

We don’t just carry fears, we also carry vows, promises, or beliefs from past lives.

• A vow of poverty taken as a monk or nun can show up as guilt about earning or keeping money today.

• A belief that speaking out is dangerous (from persecution or punishment) may result in difficulty using your voice now.

• A vow to never marry again after losing a loved one may create commitment struggles in this lifetime.

These beliefs once kept us safe. But in this life, they hold us back.

3. Soul Themes and Lessons

Sometimes it’s not about trauma, but about growth. Our souls may revisit certain themes until we fully integrate them.

• Learning self-worth after lifetimes of self-sacrifice.

• Developing courage after lifetimes of fear.

• Practising forgiveness after lifetimes of blame.

When you see these repeating themes, it stops feeling like “bad luck” and starts making sense as part of your soul’s evolution.

How Past Life Regression (PLR) Creates Breakthroughs

Once you uncover these deeper roots, something powerful happens: you shift from victim of the pattern to creator of a new story.

Awareness: Seeing the Root

Awareness is the first step. Without it, you’re stumbling in the dark. With it, everything begins to make sense.

So many of us carry fears, habits, or emotional blocks that feel irrational. You might say to yourself: “I don’t know why I react this way, but I just can’t seem to stop.” That’s a sign of a pattern that runs deeper than your conscious mind can access.

This is where Past Life Regression becomes so valuable. By guiding you to the root cause, it reveals the moment the pattern first began. Sometimes it’s a traumatic event, other times it’s a belief or vow made in a moment of pain. When you see it clearly, it no longer feels random or overwhelming. You suddenly understand why you respond the way you do.

For example, a client of mine once discovered her crippling fear of abandonment came from a lifetime where she was separated from her family at a young age. She had always wondered why even small disagreements made her feel panicked, but once she saw the root, the fear started to dissolve. Another client uncovered a vow of silence after being punished for speaking out in a previous life. In this lifetime, she had always struggled with expressing herself, but the regression gave her clarity, it wasn’t about now, it was about then.

Awareness is like switching on a light in a dark room. The furniture was always there, you just couldn’t see it. Once you can see clearly, you stop bumping into the same obstacles again and again.

Let me share an example from my own life. Around 40 years ago, I began having vivid visions while driving on winding roads. I saw myself in a fatal car accident in 1956. Every time I drove a similar road, the vision would return, and at first, it terrified me. I thought it was a prediction of how I would die in this life.

After talking with someone, I realised it wasn’t a future prediction, it was a memory from a past life. The fear settled, and I was no longer anxious about driving. Years later, during a Past Life Regression, I saw the bigger picture, all the details of that life, and how it connected with this one. The clarity and peace it gave me was incredible.

That’s the power of awareness: once you understand where the fear comes from, it loses its grip.

Release: Healing the Wound

Awareness is powerful, but awareness on its own isn’t enough. Imagine finally discovering the splinter in your finger that has been causing pain for days, you can see it, you understand why it hurts, but unless you remove it, the pain continues. Awareness shines a light on the wound. Release is what actually allows it to heal.

In Past Life Regression, this release can happen in different ways. Sometimes it looks like tears flowing, as old grief that has been held for lifetimes finally comes to the surface. Sometimes it’s a deep sigh or the body relaxing, as if a weight has finally been lifted. Other times it’s simply a shift in perspective, a moment of realisation that allows you to let go of the belief or vow that’s been holding you back.

Healing is not about erasing the past. What happened, happened. But when we release the emotional charge connected to it, the grip it has on us loosens. The energy that was trapped is freed, and we’re no longer dragged back into the same cycle.

I’ve seen this many times in sessions. For example, one client carried a powerful fear of rejection. During regression, she recalled a lifetime where she had been cast out of her community for speaking against tradition. The grief and loneliness she felt in that lifetime had followed her into this one, leaving her terrified of being excluded. As she relived and released that pain, she was able to forgive those who had shunned her and reclaim her voice in the present.

Another client had spent years battling an unexplainable guilt around money. In regression, she discovered she had been a wealthy landowner in another life and made decisions that harmed others. The guilt was carried through, blocking her from creating abundance in this lifetime. Through release, acknowledging, forgiving herself, and making peace with that past, the guilt eased, and she felt safe to allow prosperity in her life again.

Release is the point where the burden lifts. It’s the moment people often say, “I feel lighter” or “I can breathe again.” The wound may have come from the past, but the healing happens now, in the present moment, and its effects ripple into every part of life.

Choice: Creating a New Future

Awareness shines the light, release lifts the weight, but it’s choice that changes your future. Without choice, you can easily slip back into old habits. With choice, you step into a new way of being.

This is one of the most powerful gifts of Past Life Regression. Once you’ve seen the root of a pattern and released the emotional charge around it, you’re no longer reacting automatically. You’re free to respond consciously. You move from being controlled by the past to creating your future with intention.

Think of it like rewriting a script. Before, you were acting out lines written generations ago, repeating scenes without even realising it. After PLR, you finally see the script for what it is, and you’re handed the pen. You get to choose what happens next.

For example, a client once discovered that in a past life she had taken a vow of poverty. She carried this belief into her current life, always feeling guilty about charging for her work and constantly undercutting herself. Once she saw the origin of the vow and released it, she chose to create a new belief: that money was safe, supportive, and could be used for good. With that choice, she began valuing her work differently, raising her prices, and allowing abundance in without guilt.

Another client realised that his deep fear of commitment came from a lifetime where he had lost his partner tragically. In this life, he avoided intimacy to protect himself from loss. After processing and releasing the grief, he made a new choice: to open himself to love, knowing that connection was worth the risk. That choice changed the way he approached relationships and gave him the freedom to finally build the family he longed for.

Choice is where transformation takes root. It’s not always about huge, dramatic changes, often it’s the small, daily decisions that carry the most weight. Saying no when you mean no. Speaking up when you’d usually stay quiet. Trusting yourself when you’d usually doubt. Each choice reinforces the new pattern until it becomes your natural way of living.

Past Life Regression doesn’t just help you understand the past, it empowers you to create your future. By becoming aware, releasing what no longer serves you, and making conscious choices, you step into a life that is authentic, aligned, and free.

This is the essence of PLR: awareness + release = freedom to choose differently today.

The Real Impact in Everyday Life

So how does this show up in daily life? The shifts can be subtle or dramatic, but they’re always meaningful.

• Confidence - You no longer carry irrational fears or self-doubt that once controlled you.

• Relationships - You understand why certain dynamics repeat and can finally change them.

• Health - Some people even notice physical symptoms easing once the emotional root is released.

• Purpose - You feel clearer about who you are and what you’re here to do.

• Peace - That sense of “something’s wrong but I don’t know what” dissolves into calm clarity.

I’ve seen people completely transform after PLR. A woman terrified of water learned she had drowned in a past life, after the session, she was able to go swimming with her grandchildren for the first time. A man who feared intimacy discovered he had lost a partner tragically in a past life, once he grieved that loss, he was finally open to love in this one.

Is Past Life Regression Right For You?

PLR is especially powerful if you:

• Feel stuck in repeating cycles no matter what you try.

• Have irrational fears or anxieties that don’t seem to make sense.

• Are drawn to certain times or places in history without knowing why.

• Want to understand your relationships on a deeper level.

• Are seeking clarity, healing, and freedom to move forward.

It’s not about reliving trauma for the sake of it. It’s about uncovering the story, releasing the weight, and moving forward with insight and power.

The Gift of Past Life Regression

We all carry patterns that seem unexplainable. Some feel like irrational fears, others show up as repeating cycles in relationships, money, or confidence. Traditional approaches can help, but sometimes the roots run deeper, into lifetimes before this one.

Past Life Regression gives us a way to uncover those deeper roots and break free from them. It offers clarity where there was confusion, peace where there was fear, and choice where there once felt like none.

The process is not about reliving the past for the sake of it. It’s about shining a light on the hidden stories, releasing the weight they carry, and stepping into a future you consciously choose. Awareness, release, and choice, together, they open the door to freedom.

I know this because I’ve lived it. From visions I didn’t understand to healing sessions that brought clarity and peace, I’ve seen how profoundly this work can change a life. I’ve also witnessed it in my clients, people who discovered the source of their fears, their vows, or their blocks, and finally let them go. The transformation is real, and it’s lasting.

If you’ve ever had visions, déjà vu, or a strong sense that you’ve “been here before,” there may be more to the story than you realise. These moments are invitations to look deeper. When you do, you may find the answers that explain so much of what you’re experiencing today.

And if you’re ready to explore what’s hidden behind your memories, I’d be honoured to guide you through a Past Life Regression session. Because when you see the pattern, you can disrupt it. And when you disrupt it, you’re free to create the life you were always meant to live.
