Is Past Life Regression Real? Is It Safe?

Shambhala Healing Alchemy · 27 October 2026 · 3 minute read

Two of the most searched questions about past life regression are whether it is real and whether it is safe. Here are honest answers.

Is past life regression real?

There is no scientific proof that the memories people experience come from past lives. Some people understand them literally, others as symbolic stories from the deeper mind. Either way, many people find the experience meaningful and use it to reflect on present-day fears, attachments or patterns.

We do not ask you to believe anything. You can approach a session with curiosity.

What happens in a session

You are guided into deep relaxation, similar to hypnosis. You stay aware and in control. You may see, feel or simply sense impressions of another time. Afterwards we talk through what came up and what it might mean for you now.

Is it safe?

For most people, a gently guided session is a calm, safe experience. You can stop at any time. Sometimes strong emotions come up, so we leave time to settle before you go.

Who should wait or check first

Please talk to your GP or psychologist first, and consider waiting, if you:

• live with psychosis, dissociative conditions or severe trauma
• are in crisis or feeling unsafe
• have epilepsy or a condition affected by deep relaxation

Choosing a practitioner

Look for someone who explains the process clearly, asks about your health, never promises outcomes, and gives you time to integrate.
