How Past Lives
Affect You

Uncovering the Roots of Today’s Challenges

You don’t have to believe in past lives to benefit from past life healing. Think of it as a symbolic healing tool that reaches the root of emotional patterns that don’t make sense in this lifetime. 

Exploring past lives isn’t about dwelling on the past—it’s about revealing hidden influences shaping you today. Patterns of fear, emotional blocks, or repeating relationship dynamics often begin long before this life. By gently bringing these memories to light, you create space to release them. Our Past Life & Spiritual Healing sessions help you do this safely, so you can feel clearer, lighter, and more at peace.

What is a Past Life

A past life is the idea that our soul — our deeper essence — lives more than once. With each lifetime it takes on a new role and a unique blueprint of experiences designed for growth.

Across these lives, we’ve played many characters, moving through the joys and challenges each role brings.



When Unresolved Past Lives Affect the Present

Past-life material often surfaces when strong emotions or unfinished experiences weren’t resolved in their original lifetime — sometimes described as karma. When that charge remains, similar situations appear again, inviting balance and closure.

In daily life, this can show up as out-of-proportion reactions, repeating struggles, or an intense pull or aversion toward certain people, places, or roles. These are signals that something deeper may be asking to be healed.

Why Past-Life Issues Resist Conventional Healing

Some issues don’t shift because we try to resolve them only with present-life logic. If the root began in another lifetime — or in an origin story outside current awareness — we end up treating symptoms rather than the source. Meeting the emotion at its origin allows it to release.

“Issues need to be addressed in their originating life time”

As an example, in Many Lives, Many Masters, Dr. Brian Weiss describes a client who made little progress with traditional therapy until a spontaneous past-life scene surfaced. Exploring that origin reportedly opened the door to healing — illustrating how past-life work can help when other methods stall.

Real Past Life Healing Examples

To illustrate the grip from past life issues, here are some real life examples from my work:

Example #1

A client was having constant relationship issues with her male partner. Through the session it was revealed that she was his mother in a previous life and that she had abandoned him. Her soul felt guilty for this and her partner was clinging onto her in this life because he was afraid she would abandon him again, as she had in the previous life. Also in their past life together he was still demanding to be loved and recognized as her son. When we cleared her feelings of guilt, offered her love and recognition more deeply to her son, sincerely spoke from her heart to her son, telling him that even when she left him she was still his mum; a huge peace descended on her. Later she wrote to tell me that her relationship had improved dramatically, there seemed to be more space and respect for each other.

“Unresolved past life issues are recreated”


I found that past life issues are often re-created in this life, offering us a fresh opportunity to clear them. Here is an example of a re-created situation from a past life.

Example #2

An expat in Thailand had fierce illogical fears that just stuck with him for years about renewing his Thai visa. In a session it was revealed that he had a past life where he was forcefully taken away from a country that he loved dearly and could never return back to it. When we cleared the pain of being removed from a country he loved and the feelings of missing this country, the fears that he would forcefully be removed from Thailand disappeared.

How Can This Help You?

If you find you are experiencing illogical negative emotions or issues that won’t clear, one possible solution is to question if they are connected to past life issues. Take a sincere moment to ask yourself if this issue is related to a past life. Listen to how your body, how your intuition responds.

While intuition is extremely helpful there are also some obvious signs to look out for when trying to uncover if an issue is connected to a past life. 

  • A strong indicator is when our issue doesn’t clear despite all the conventional things we have tried. 
  • Another indicator is when we are triggered, evoking such strong negative emotions that defy all logical understanding. 
  • Also another sign is when we experience negative feelings that seem to be totally unconnected with our current life; they just seem to come out of nowhere.


Clearing past life issues can be challenging to do on your own. While there are many meditations and techniques available online, the most effective way is to work with an experienced guide. 

At Releasing Hypnosis, we specialize in past life healing and can help you safely release unresolved patterns that continue to affect your present life. Don’t wait to carry these burdens into another day — Discover our Past Life Healing Service and take the first step towards freedom.

Frequently Asked Questions about Past Life Healing

Answers to common questions about past life healing — from how it works, to signs an issue may be past-life related, to why it sometimes succeeds where conventional methods don’t.

What do we mean by “past life healing” in this article? 

We’re using “past life healing” as a practical lens to reach root-level emotional patterns. Whether you see it literally or symbolically, the goal is the same: find where a pattern started and release the charge it still carries.

Does Past Life Healing Really Work?

Yes—when it’s guided by a skilled practitioner.

The key is working with someone who can see, sense, and actively guide you into the past-life material. Many practitioners expect clients to uncover their past life themselves, but that’s often too difficult for most people.

 A practitioner who can bring the relevant past life forward and guide the release makes the healing process far more effective, safe, and accessible.

Do memories have to be historically accurate to help?

No. People often sense feelings, body cues, images, or phrases that feel “like a memory.” The value comes from how precisely we meet the emotion, not from proving details.

Might my issue have a past-life component? 

Clues include:
(a) overt reactions that don’t match the situation
(b) patterns that resist present-life therapeutic work
(c) emotions that seem irrational as if they come from nowhere
(d) intense attraction/aversion to certain people, places, roles, or eras.

Can I try something safely on my own? 

Yes. Sit comfortably, breathe slowly, and name your current trigger. Then ask inward: “If this feeling had an origin outside this life, what scene or sensation appears?” Notice any image, sensation, or phrase without judgement.

Place a hand where your body feels the emotion and breathe until the intensity softens. If what arises feels too vague—or becomes overwhelming—it’s best to pause and consider reaching out for an experienced guide.
