One of the most common things people ask me before their past life regression session is, “What should I even ask?” And honestly, that question matters more than most people realize.
The truth is, the right past life regression questions can open the door to deeper clarity, emotional release, and soul-level understanding. Whether you’re curious about a relationship, a recurring fear, or simply who you were in another lifetime, the way you frame your intention shapes what shows up during the session.
After guiding many clients through this work over the years, I’ve noticed that the same questions tend to come up again and again. So in this guide, I’ve gathered the questions clients most often ask (before, during, and after their regression) along with the answers and guidance I share with them.
If you’ve ever wondered what you should ask, what you can ask, or how to prepare your mind and intention for a meaningful experience, you’ll find everything you need here.
Let’s dive in.
Why Asking the Right Questions Matters
Past life regression isn’t about watching a movie of who you used to be. It’s a journey that reveals emotional patterns, soul contracts, unresolved lessons, and the energetic threads connecting lifetimes.
Questions act like keys.
They open doors to parts of your subconscious that may have stayed quiet without an invitation.
When you’re clear about your intention—even if you don’t know the exact wording—you give your subconscious and Spirit a direction to guide you. Not pressure. Just clarity.
I always tell my clients:
Your soul will show you what you’re ready for, and what will support your healing right now.
If you like to approach the session with structure, or you just want gentle guidance to shape your intention, the questions in the next sections will help you prepare deeply and confidently.
Questions to Ask Before a Past Life Regression Session
Before we even begin the regression itself, people are often curious, excited, or a little nervous. These are the questions I hear most often—and the ones that help create a grounded, meaningful experience.
What should I expect during a past life regression?
Expect a deeply relaxed yet conscious state. I guide you into a gentle trance where your subconscious becomes more accessible. You’ll notice images, feelings, sensations, or even symbolic impressions. You stay aware, in control, and able to speak the whole time.

Will I see a past life for sure?
Not always—and that’s completely okay. Some people see scenes vividly. Others sense emotions or symbolic imagery. Spirit always reveals what’s most helpful for your healing, even if it’s not what you expected.
More about this in the Past Life Regression Hypnosis Guide.
Can I speak or ask questions while under hypnosis?
Yes. Past life regression is not stage hypnosis. You stay conscious enough to communicate, ask questions, and describe what you’re experiencing.
What happens if I don’t experience anything?
This happens more often than people think. It doesn’t mean the session “didn’t work.” Sometimes people feel rather than see. Sometimes Spirit reveals things slowly. And sometimes the integration happens afterward.
Many “quiet” sessions still produce strong emotional or energetic shifts, which I talk more about in Side Effects of Past Life Regression.
How should I prepare?
Simple things help:
• Wear comfortable clothing
• Stay hydrated
• Avoid heavy meals
• Have a clear intention—or an open heart
• If you’re virtual, use earbuds and choose a quiet space
More preparation tips are included in Past Life Regression Online.
Do I need to believe in reincarnation?
No. You just need openness. Some see their experience as metaphor; others as literal memory. Either way, the healing and clarity are real.
Intention-Setting Questions to Ask Yourself Before the Session
These questions help guide your subconscious and Spirit toward what you’re truly ready to explore:
• What am I hoping to understand or heal in this life?
• Are there patterns—emotional, relational, behavioral—that keep repeating?
• Do I feel drawn to or repelled by a certain person, place, or time period?
• Is there a relationship that feels karmic, intense, or strangely familiar?
• Do I feel blocked or stuck in an area of my life without a clear reason?
• Do I feel like part of me “remembers” something I can’t explain?
These questions don’t need perfect answers. They just open the door.
Questions to Ask During a Past Life Regression Session
Once you’re in the regression—relaxed, open, and attuned—you’ll begin noticing memories, images, sensations, or intuitive impressions. These questions can help you move deeper into what’s being shown.
Questions About the Life Itself
These help you orient yourself:
• Who am I in this life?
• What do I look like?
• What year or era is this?
• Where am I living?
• What is my role, job, or purpose?
• Who is in my life?
Questions About the Soul’s Journey
These reveal meaning beneath the surface:
• Why did my soul choose this life?
• What lessons am I learning in this incarnation?
• What emotions are strongest in this life?
• What challenge defines this experience?
Questions Connecting Past to Present
This is where insights and healing come together:
• How is this lifetime affecting my current life?
• Is there a fear, belief, or pattern I’m carrying over?
• Is someone from that life here with me now?
• What am I being invited to release or integrate?
Questions to Ask After a Past Life Regression Session
Once the session ends, the healing continues. The integration phase is powerful, and reflection helps anchor the meaning.
How can I integrate what I experienced?
Journal, meditate, rest, or simply sit with what was revealed. The body and subconscious often need a day or two to process it all.
What if I feel emotional, tired, or unsettled afterward?
This is normal. Regression moves deep energy. Feelings may surface for days—emotionally or physically. Being gentle with yourself is essential.
Should I schedule another session?
Some people feel complete after one regression. Others return to explore unanswered questions or deeper layers. If something feels unfinished or new clarity has surfaced, another session may help.

Real Questions My Clients Ask (And My Honest Answers)
These are questions I hear all the time—beautiful, vulnerable, and completely normal.
“What if I’m just making it up?”
The subconscious communicates in symbols and stories. If it brings understanding or healing, it’s meaningful—whether literal or metaphorical.
“Why did I see something emotional or heavy?”
Regression bypasses everyday defenses, revealing what needs healing. Spirit never shows you more than you’re ready to face.
“How do I know if it worked?”
You’ll know by the shift you feel afterward—clarity, emotional release, or insight. Sometimes the meaning unfolds days or weeks later.
“What if I don’t see anything?”
Seeing isn’t the only way to experience regression. Feeling, sensing, or intuiting can be just as powerful.
“Can I get stuck in a past life?”
No. You’re always aware and able to return. I guide you back gently each time.
Frequently Asked Questions About Past Life Regression Questions
Can I bring a written list of questions to my session?
Yes—many clients do. Even a simple list helps shape your subconscious intention.
What questions should I avoid?
Avoid questions that try to force an outcome like “Show me a famous life.” Spirit shows what serves healing, not curiosity alone.
What if my questions change during the session?
That’s normal. As memories surface, your intuition will naturally guide new questions.
Do questions really matter if Spirit decides what to show?
Yes. Your intention creates the energetic pathway—but Spirit reveals it in the way you’re ready to see.
Final Thoughts: Your Questions Are Part of the Healing
If you’ve read this far, you already understand something important:
Your curiosity is part of your awakening.
The questions you bring into a past life regression aren’t just practical; they’re invitations. They tell your subconscious, your soul, and Spirit that you’re ready for understanding, clarity, and healing.
If you still have questions—big, small, or deeply personal—you can always reach out. I’m here, and I’m listening.
Your soul is ready.
