Can I Get Stuck in a Past Life?

“Can I get stuck in a past life?”

The short answer: no, you cannot get stuck in a past life. During a regression you are always present in your present life, and your conscious mind decides what you take with you from the experience. Visiting another lifetime is much like watching a movie and walking out of the theater enriched.

This question came up when I had a client come in for a past life regression. She shared with me that even though her family was Hindu and they believed in reincarnation, they did not believe that it’s a good idea for a person to visit other lifetimes. There was the fear that by connecting to those other lifetimes, they might get stuck in those energies.

Hello everyone. This is Mira Kelley. Welcome.

We’re going to address today the question of “Can I get stuck in a past life?”

This question came up for me when I had a client come and visit. And she shared with me that even though her family was Hindu and they believed in reincarnation, they did not believe that it’s a good idea for a person to visit other lifetimes and to experience them because there was the fear that by connecting to those other lifetimes, they might get stuck in those energies. They may get truly affected and somehow something negative could possibly transfer over to their present lifetime.

When I heard this being said, I actually thought of how Native American people used to believe in the beginning days of photography that when their pictures are being taken, somehow the photographer might steal their soul. And so, let me assure you of this, there’s absolutely no way for you to get stuck in a past life.

When people do a past life regression, in reality, they’re not going anywhere. What happens is that, in a state of deep relaxation, the person opens up to so much more of what is out there. We are always connected to our past lives or our future lives. Their stories always impact us, their part of our consciousness, part of our energy field, they’re part of our own story.

And so, when we visit other lifetimes, we get enriched, we see new perspectives, new experiences, but yet, it’s up to us to decide how much of it we’re willing to accept and how much of it we’re willing to set aside and let it come with us in terms of staying with us. It’s much like going to the movies.

When you go to the movies, when you watch a movie, and you come out of the movie theatre, you have seen a different story, you have seen a new story, you have seen a different perspective. A part of that movie has enriched you, it has made you ponder, I hopefully has empowered you.

And so, it’s really up to you to decide how you digest that new perspective and how you make use of it. Some movies truly impact us and empower us, other movies are just entertaining and really don’t have an impact on us.

And so similarly, when we do a past life regression first, we cannot get stuck energetically because we’re always present in the present life.

And also secondly, we have our conscious mind to give us the power of deciding what is it that we want to bring with us and what is it we want to receive as experience and how we’re going to reflect on those stories and make the most out of them for ourselves.

I hope this sharing helped you. So now, hopefully, you have an answer to give to your relatives and your friends who are concerned about this and also, if this was a concern for you.

I look forward to working with you, either one on one, reach out to me here, or you can reach out to me and grab one of my recordings and do a past life regression that way.

I look forward to speaking with you soon, I’m sending you all my love. Bye.

Can you get stuck in a past life during regression?

No. You cannot get stuck in a past life. During a regression you remain present in this life and aware of the room, and you can open your eyes whenever you choose. A past life is a memory you observe. When the session ends, you return fully, and you decide what you bring back.

How a session with me ends

I want you to know exactly what happens at the end of a session, because knowing this takes away so much fear.

• We look at the lesson. Before we leave a life, we move to a higher perspective and ask what that life came to teach you.
• You choose what to keep. I invite you to bring back the wisdom, the strength and the love, and to leave behind anything that no longer serves you.
• I count you back. I guide you step by step back into your body, into the room, into today’s date.
• You ground. You open your eyes, move, stretch and drink some water. You are fully yourself, often feeling lighter.
• We talk it through. We take time to make sense of what you received and how it connects to your life now.

Why you are always safe to return

• You stay aware of my voice and your surroundings the entire time.
• You can speak, move, ask to stop or open your eyes at any moment. I write more about this in Am I in Control During a Past Life Regression?.
• Even when you fall asleep during a recording, you simply wake up as you would from a nap.
• Your inner self only shows you what you are ready to understand.

Journal prompts for your next regression

If you or someone you love feels worried about regression, these prompts can help you understand that worry.

1. What fear do I have about visiting a past life, and where did I first learn it?
2. If I could bring back one gift from another lifetime, what would I want it to be?
3. What would I like to leave behind after my next session?

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I fall asleep during a past life regression?

You simply wake up, the same way you wake from a nap. Many people find that they still remember parts of the experience, and you can always do the regression again.

Can something from a past life follow me into this one?

Your conscious mind decides what you bring with you. At the end of a session I invite you to keep the wisdom and leave behind anything that does not serve you.

Can I stop a regression if I feel uncomfortable?

Yes. You can open your eyes, ask to move to another scene, or end the session at any time. You are in charge of your experience.
