What is past life regression — and what is it not?
Past life regression is a healing process — not a performance, not entertainment, and not fortune-telling. In the context of Introspective Hypnosis, it is one of several tools available when the subconscious needs to go beyond this lifetime to find the root of what it is carrying.
In a session, the client is guided into a deeply relaxed state. The subconscious becomes accessible. And sometimes — when the origin of a pattern, a wound, or an emotion has no clear explanation in this lifetime — the subconscious takes us somewhere else. Not because we are forcing it. Because it needs to.
What is revealed may be understood as a literal past life — an actual experience the soul lived in another time and place. It may also be understood as a symbolic narrative — a metaphor the subconscious is using to communicate something that is nonetheless real and that nonetheless needs to be healed. In either case, what surfaces always points to something true. And that truth is what we work with.
“You don't have to believe in past lives for the session to be meaningful. The subconscious reveals what it needs to — and what it reveals is always real, always relevant, and always pointing toward healing.”
— Jose Montanez, C.IHt · Soul HypnotherapyWhy past life regression — what it is actually for
The most powerful use of past life regression is not curiosity — though curiosity is a valid reason to explore it. Its most powerful use is healing. Specifically, it allows the soul to find the origin of patterns, wounds, and emotions that have no clear explanation in this lifetime.
Consider the person who has worked in therapy for years on a fear of abandonment — who understands it intellectually, can trace it to childhood experiences, and yet still cannot shake the feeling. Or the person with a recurring physical pain that has no medical explanation. Or the one who feels a profound and inexplicable grief that has been present for as long as they can remember, with no event in this life that would account for its depth.
These are the people for whom past life regression can be transformative. When the origin of the wound is found — regardless of which lifetime it comes from — and addressed with compassion, with forgiveness, and with the intention to release it, the effect on the present life can be profound and lasting.
What tends to come up in a past life regression session
Every session is different because every soul is different. However, in our experience, past life regression tends to be most useful — and most naturally initiated by the subconscious — when a client is working with one of the following:
When past life regression tends to arise naturally
- Fears or phobias with no identifiable origin in this lifetime
- Recurring patterns in relationships, finances, or health that persist despite conscious effort to change them
- A sense of grief, longing, or loneliness that has no clear cause in the present life
- Chronic physical pain or illness that has not responded to medical treatment
- Strong, unexplained reactions to certain places, periods of history, or types of people
- A feeling of carrying something — a weight, a burden, a responsibility — that began before this life
- Curiosity about the soul's journey across lifetimes and spiritual direction
For the skeptic — you don't have to believe
This is one of the most important things we say to people who are curious about past life regression but unsure whether they believe in it: you do not have to believe in past lives for the session to be meaningful.
The subconscious reveals what it needs to. Whether what surfaces is understood as a literal past life, a metaphorical story, or simply an unconscious memory the conscious mind had never accessed — what matters is that it reflects something real. A real wound. A real pattern. A real emotion that has been carried without a name.
We have worked with clients who came into a session as complete skeptics and left having experienced something they could not fully explain — but that had shifted something in them. The belief is not a prerequisite. The openness is.
“The soul always knows what it needs to heal. Our role is simply to create the space for it to show us.”
— Jose Montanez, C.IHt · Soul HypnotherapyHow past life regression works in Introspective Hypnosis
Introspective Hypnosis was developed by Aurelio Mejía and is taught by Antonio Sangio, one of its leading practitioners worldwide. Jose Montanez trained and certified directly under Antonio Sangio and brings this method to clients in North Griffin, GA and worldwide via Zoom.
Past life regression in Introspective Hypnosis is not a scripted journey. The client is not told what to see or where to go. In a deeply relaxed state, the subconscious is invited to surface whatever is most relevant to the healing that needs to happen. Sometimes that means going to an early childhood memory. Sometimes it means going to a past life. The session follows the soul — not a predetermined agenda.
When a past life does arise, we work with what is there — with compassion, with forgiveness, and with the intention of releasing what has been carried across lifetimes. The client does all the inner work. We are the guide.

Past life regression in Spanish
All sessions with Jose Montanez are available completely in Spanish. For many clients, the depth of a past life regression session is most fully reached in the language of the soul's earliest memories in this life.
