Past Life Regression Case Study

Session Overview

Primary Theme: Lack of confidence to pursue being a healer full-time; fear of quitting her job to follow her true calling.
Heather has always felt a strong spiritual connection, particularly with Pleiadean guides, and knows she is meant to be a healer. However, she struggles with the fear of commitment and taking the leap into her new path. Additionally, she has recurring gut health issues that have not responded to conventional healing methods.

Pain Scale: 8/10

Session 1: Exploring the Root Cause of Commitment Fears

T: What is coming to your awareness?

C: A man… darker-skinned, Middle Eastern… alone… not a single person around. Unattached to people. His goal was, “All I ever care about is my duty or job.”

T: What is he feeling?

C: It’s cold.

Relationships get in the way and complicate life and my mission.

But I am lonely. Consistently distracting myself with this responsibility. It’s important, and I don’t have time, but I’m so alone.

I feel like I hide everything from everyone. People look up to me.

I’m in a constant state of stress. In a second, I have to be ready.

Fractured dream.

T: What do you do that you have to be ready in seconds and you feel lonely?

C: I’m a soldier. There can be war anytime.

T: Move ahead in time and see what happens in your life.

C: Thrown at the bottom of a ditch or a hole. I’m feeling that I’m going down. Not being able to breathe. I am relieved that it is over. I’m the only one.

People that I knew and was with also died at the same time and in the same way.

It wasn’t long ago.

T: Try to see what year it is.

C: Guns… 1949… My name was Sergio. Tan skin. I was with a woman before. I was in this place. Something happened. She’s not here anymore.

T: How was your relationship with her?

C: She left me. I am heartbroken. Something about me… she didn’t want to be with me.

I was closed off. I was acting from a wounded place.

T: What happened?

C: I joined a war to escape… distraction… nothing is left. Running away from the pain.

I had an opportunity to have a different way to be with her, but I didn’t change.

There was a lesson there. I just chose to ignore it.

T: What was the lesson?

C: The lesson was to be uncomfortable… to open up… vulnerability… seeing all of my wounds… shadow work for my relationship.

I lost the relationship. I lost an easier, happier life.

I was so rigid in my ways. I didn’t want to give up anything about myself.

I wasn’t willing to work on my marriage. I just ran away because it was hard.

I was neglected as a child. No love… I got hardened. I became strong and independent.

Parents didn’t want me. No kindness. I had no choice.

I had to prepare myself. I was not close to my siblings. My parents liked my siblings more than me.

I had to figure out everything by myself. I was suppressing so much pain all the time.

T: If Sergio had a message for you, what would it be?

C: My message to myself was: Be strong. The path that my soul wants to go down is so happy and beautiful. I have to do things like healing that my partner needs from me. The person who loves you is not going to hurt you. Running from it is not going to be your highest path. You’re running away from your soul lesson.

I’m living a lot of what’s missing in this lifetime. There’s so much sadness here.

The first half of my life was not my fault, the second half was self-inflicted. I chose what I knew.

T: What message do you have for Sergio?

C: It’s OK. I’m learning now. Now, people are safe. You can go all the way in. That urge to run is just a fear, not a solution.

It is unfamiliar, not dangerous.

I need to go into discomfort this time. There is nothing I need to run away from.

T: How will you bring these lessons into your current life?

C: Sadness, regret, seeing the parallels. Currently, collecting those mistakes and slowly choosing not to run.

I feel the urge to run away—this is just an old behavior.

I’m doing the work now. I am more connected to myself. I have more opportunity to learn.

Loss of a partner is the most significant for me.

Second Past Life

T: What are you aware of?

C: Punched in my face. I’m the wife. Fighting in a bedroom.

Emotionally so bad all the time. Couldn’t tell anyone.

It was a time when it would be shameful for your marriage to end.

Women only wore dresses, corsets. No divorce. No talking about your problems.

T: You are the wife. Who is your husband?

C: He has a drinking problem. He is a responsible man.

He is a respectable man in society. Everyone knows who we are.

We are well respected. We have money and higher status.

I fell in love with him. He never abused me until later in our marriage.

I am envious of other people’s happy marriages.

I still try to please him, make him love me, do nice things.

He changed from the beginning of our relationship.

T: Do you have any other family?

C: The community… they are judgmental.

There is gossip. There are no true friendships.

I don’t have anyone. No one that I can trust.

I can see myself writing. Journaling for myself. I really love to write.

That life was very distinctive, and I had to maintain my image.

I was free-spirited, I was rebellious.

I’m getting the names Tom, Laney or Lacey, or Delaney or something like that.

I feel like we were a very happy, perfect couple.

We had to step into some kind of role that was stressful. It made him unhappy.

His father died, so he had to step into this higher position.

I didn’t think of leaving because that wasn’t an option.

It was my duty.

T: Do you have any kids?

C: I don’t feel like I have any kids.

Bored, unfulfilled. I thought I’d do more things.

I thought he would be more fun. He is so serious all the time.

If I left, I would be outcasted.

T: What is the learning for you here?

C: In my present life, I’m afraid of that happening again. I did experience it in this life as well with an emotionally abusive ex. But I left. I still feel very attached to him, but I am cutting cords. In my present life, I wouldn’t allow that to happen to me. I can let go of that fear. It’s easier for me to see that it’s not real.

I’m seeing an eagle, and it is guiding me. This time around, it’s easier. Relax.

Session Two

Theme: Understanding Energy Work & Root Cause of Gut Issues

T: What are you aware of?

C: After entering through the door, I’m feeling anxiety, physical resistance, and tingling. I’m a Native American. There is nature all around. We live in a desert.

T: Try to see what desert it is.

C: It seems like New Mexico. There is grass, plants, and women gathering things from the land. She is known by everyone. She can heal everything.

T: What does she do?

C: Knowledge, wisdom. In a meditative state... in a tepee. She learned it from a lifetime of doing this. It’s just a natural thing for her. Everybody goes to her.

T: Does she have a family?

C: She is in a community but also in solitude. She doesn’t have a partner… she just serves the community. I can hear her name is Nagja—that is either her name or her position. Apache tribe.

Something happened to them. They were taken somewhere by other people. Kidnapping—Cowboys and Indians situation. I was very old. No living relatives.

T: What year is it?

C: The year 1791. It was not fully safe to be there. We were all living on high alert. It was distressing my body. I felt so stressed out. We were forced to leave. We all understood—we had to start over somewhere else.

In a little hut, in a meditative state. Channel. Shaman.

T: She feels very fearful and stressed. What happened later in her life?

C: Other people came to us with modern medical stuff. They thought we needed them to fix everything. They helped us, but they took my power away—as if we were stupid, like what I did was not real. They thought they were smarter than us. My ways were not as good as theirs.

It had the biggest effect on me internally. People still came to me, but those foreigners dismissed me. Lack of respect, dignity. Feeling small. How I felt about myself.

T: Go ahead a few years and see what happens.

C: Things are not the same. When I’m helping others, I feel insecure. Peace was taken away. It got worse and worse. Change in the country. Unpredictable. Before, we were all equal. Now, all of a sudden, there is authority, a strange, negative relationship.

T: Move to the time of her death.

C: Died of old age, peacefully. Loved and revered. I was the only one to have those skills.

T: What did you learn from this life?

C: I let them take my power away. I was really affected by the change in a negative way. I was missing the bigger picture.

Things were changing—I should have leaned into the change, continued doing what I do, and grown. I was resistant, and it made it harder. If I had just let it flow... it wasn’t "us vs. them." Things were just changing.

The power struggle affected me. I needed to regain that piece of myself and continue. I could have been more solid and contained in who I was. They didn’t understand me the way I wanted to be understood. But that wasn’t going to happen, so it’s okay.

T: How is this going to change your current life?

C: It could all co-exist and be okay.

Today, the theme of my life is to be deeply understood. When people see me and understand, I latch onto that.

Working as a healer, there’s such a process of being confident that this is real and legitimate. I don’t want to live forever feeling smaller or insecure. People are just different. Modern technology—technology resistance.

That time was also like the Age of Aquarius. I need to drop resistance to change.

I lived for 100 years. The early and later years were drastically different. I could have enjoyed my life more.

I was forced to get vaccinated. Forced to abide by medical things. Powerless.

I don’t have more to gain in that life. I got used to struggling. That can happen again.

Root Cause of Gut Issues

T: What is the root cause of your gut issues?

C: It’s not specific to one life.

Multiple lives of emotional distress. Bottled-up emotions. A strong exterior—over and over for hundreds of years.

Let go. Let it be easy. Stop worrying. Stop trying to force things to happen. You can relax now. Express yourself. Be emotional.

Spontaneous Past Life Recall

C: 14 or 1500s. Happy. Well taken care of. Abundance. Money. Married.

Church of England. The church is the government. I am involved in both. Arranged things for me. Pleasant.

A friend in my current life was my husband then. His name was Charles.

We were at the top—king and queen or something like that. The relationship was strong, very religious.

One of my kids from that lifetime will be my future child in this life.

I had 5-6 kids. Leo. I call my spirit baby Leo, and I feel like he was there.

T: What are the learnings for you from this life?

C: Completing a karmic cycle. Feeling of abundance. The lack lives are over.

I can feel like that again. I had it all. It was easy.

I followed the rules, but I was okay with it. I was just supposed to have that feeling of abundance so that I can feel it again in my present life.

Post-Session Discussion with Client

Pain Scale: 1/10

  • She said that she knew the learnings intuitively but needed to experience them to fully embody them. Seeing her past life as a Shaman and healer who lived up to 100 years helped her gain confidence in her abilities.

  • Romantic Relationships: She now feels more courageous to say yes to love instead of running away.

  • Gut Issues: She understands that she just needs to release the energy of fear and distress for healing to occur. She needs to soften her hardened exterior by allowing herself to feel emotions rather than avoiding them.

  • Abundance: From her last abundant life, she now knows how to shift from feelings of lack to feelings of being completely abundant and taken care of. This realization gave her the confidence to quit her job and trust in her path.

A few days later, she put in her resignation. Now, she is a successful healer, breathwork facilitator, and health coach.

Even I received an Ahai healing session from her, and it was one of the most deeply healing sessions I’ve ever had! That session became a milestone in my own personal healing journey as well.
