Sessions in Past Life Regression can be facilitated through a couple of common methods, hypnosis and guided meditation. Both create a safe space of deep relaxation that brings a person into a place of awareness to access their past lives. I was a guest on a couple of Krystal Jakosky’s podcast episodes of Breathe In Breathe Out where we discussed this fascinating subject in one and provided an opportunity for listeners to experience it first hand in the other. Today, I’m featuring the experiential episode from Breathe In Breathe Out in its entirety so you can participate and learn more about yourself through a Past Life Regression session.
