Expert Insights into Past-Life Regression

The concept of past lives has been pivotal in so many cultures and religions across the globe and throughout time, and that's no mistake. We're always wondering about the past and our place in the universe, and we still are! That's why we talked to spiritual experts to find out more about past lives and past-life regression:

  • Spiritual teacher and medium Mari Cartagenova explains, "If you have these weird feelings that you can't connect to anything that happened during this lifetime, it's probably because it happened during another lifetime," and says that seeing an expert to help you relive that past life can clear up some mysteries.[1]
  • Certified hypnotherapist Stephanie Risely, MFA, explains what happens when she helps people see past lives: "Sometimes it's traumatic, sometimes it's just boring..." but it's always interesting and always adds some insight into your current life, as long as you're open to learning from it.[2]
  • Astrologer and intuitive healer Tracey McKee explains her process for helping people see past lives: "What we're doing with our mind is remembering a life that we've experienced before with the intention of [finding] some kind of insight...Some clients have really specific goals, [like] 'I want to know why...my relationship with my mother is the way it is, [or] I want to know why I have this irrational fear of watering...And sometimes people just want to have the experience."[3]
  • Psychic medium Joanna Cabot says that past-life viewing "is usually done through meditation or hypnosis, guided by a trained practitioner... During a past life regression, you might relive situations, meet people, or understand things that make sense for what you’re currently experiencing in this life. It’s very powerful. It can help you understand your purpose, your mission on Earth this time around. Why you're feeling certain things, why you're drawn to a certain job, or why you learn in a certain way."[4]
