Have you ever had a dream that felt more like a memory? Or met someone for the first time but felt an instant, unexplainable connection? Many people have—and experiences like these often spark a deeper curiosity: Have I lived before?
If you’re in Brisbane and exploring that question, Past Life Regression (PLR) might offer some surprising—and healing—answers.
In this post, we’ll guide you through what actually happens during a past life regression session, what you might experience, and how it could help you gain emotional clarity and spiritual insight. Whether you’re a complete sceptic or a spiritual seeker, PLR can be a powerful, eye-opening journey.
What Is Past Life Regression?
Past Life Regression is a form of deep hypnosis that allows you to access memories from previous lifetimes stored in your subconscious mind. It’s not just about “seeing a past life”—it’s about understanding the emotional patterns, fears, or relationships that may still be influencing you today.
Unlike stage hypnosis or fictional portrayals, PLR is a safe, therapeutic experience guided by a trained professional. It’s often used to:
- Understand unresolved emotional blocks
- Explore the origin of unexplained fears or habits
- Gain insight into personal patterns and relationships
- Connect with a deeper sense of purpose
At its heart, PLR is about healing—bringing hidden experiences to light so they can be released or integrated.
Who Is It For?
You don’t have to be deeply spiritual to benefit from PLR. In fact, many people who try it are simply curious. Others feel stuck emotionally, or are dealing with recurring challenges that don’t seem tied to their current life.
It may be for you if:
- You have persistent fears or emotions with no clear cause
- You’re drawn to certain places, people, or time periods
- You want to understand your soul’s journey
- You’ve tried other therapies but still feel “unfinished”
- You’re interested in healing relationships or patterns
What to Expect in a Session
A typical past life regression session in Brisbane with someone like Marie Benton is about 90–120 minutes long. Here’s how it usually unfolds:
1. Intention Setting
Every session starts with a conversation. You’ll discuss what’s brought you to PLR, and what you hope to gain. Setting a clear intention helps guide your subconscious during the experience.
2. Induction
Next, you’ll be guided into a deeply relaxed state—similar to meditation or daydreaming. You’re still aware, just inwardly focused.
3. Exploration
In this trance-like state, your mind may begin to show you images, sensations, or memories. You might:
- See scenes from another life
- Feel strong emotions or physical sensations
- Connect with past relationships or environments
- Receive insight about recurring themes or struggles
4. Guided Healing and Closure
Once you’ve explored the life that comes up, your therapist helps you process it. You might:
- Understand how it relates to your current situation
- Release emotional attachments or trauma
- Bring forward strengths or wisdom
5. Post-Session Debrief
You’ll talk through the experience, take notes, and discuss anything that came up. It’s not unusual to leave feeling lighter, more peaceful, or simply seen at a deep level.
Common Themes and Takeaways
Every regression is unique, but common insights include:
- Recognising a fear’s origin and letting it go
- Seeing how past relationships echo into this life
- Understanding soul contracts or life lessons
- Reclaiming inner strength or gifts from other lifetimes
Is It Real? Or Just My Imagination?
This is a common (and totally valid) question.
Here’s the thing: whether the memories are literal or symbolic, your subconscious is bringing them forward for a reason. If they lead to healing, clarity, or peace—does it matter whether they’re “real” in the historical sense?
Many clients describe their sessions as more real than dreaming—and the emotional truth they uncover can be life-changing.
Is It Safe?
Yes. Past life regression is a gentle, guided experience. You’re not “asleep,” and you can speak, pause, or stop at any time. You’re always in control.
With someone experienced like Marie Benton, who blends compassion with clinical training, you’ll be held in a safe and supportive space.
Real Stories from Real People
Amanda and Dan: “Marie is like a warm and comforting blanket. She is all 10 people in those circles that throw you into the air and catch you and when you land on her, she feels like that soft downy comfort blanket that only grandma can give (he is not saying you are a grandma, just that you give him so much comfort).”
Kathy M: “I am grateful for the work that Marie has done with me in our sessions together. In the past year I have been able to stop smoking. It is incredible and awesome to be set free from a behaviour that I knew had to be healed from a deep place. By gently guiding and nurturing me to an understanding of my own awareness, Marie helped me release the fears that kept me stuck and blocked. The benefits of these sessions have brought a deep sense of health and ease to my being. Thank you for your generosity and helping me when I didn’t think that I could help myself. You are an angel.”
These aren’t isolated stories. They’re reflections of how the subconscious holds more than we realise—and how PLR can unlock deep personal change.
FAQs About Past Life Regression
Do I need to believe in reincarnation?
No. You just need to be open. Some people view the experience symbolically, others spiritually.
What if I don’t see anything?
That’s okay. Sometimes it’s more about feelings, thoughts, or body sensations. Your therapist will help you stay curious without pressure.
Can this replace therapy?
PLR is a powerful tool, but it’s not a replacement for clinical therapy. It can be a fantastic complement if you’re already in counselling or doing self-work.
How often can I do it?
You might benefit from one session, or choose to explore further. Many people come back months or years later with a new intention.
How to Prepare
To get the most out of your session:
- Get a good night’s sleep
- Avoid alcohol or heavy meals before your appointment
- Come with an open mind and a few questions or intentions
- Bring a journal to write down insights afterward
Who Should You Work With?
PLR requires trust. Choose someone who is:
- Qualified in hypnotherapy
- Experienced in regression techniques
- Compassionate and supportive, not pushy
- Recommended or reviewed by past clients
