Why Do I Get Sick After A Past Life Regression?

Catherine posted this question on my Facebook page: “Hi Mira, I just have a small question: I have started a regression therapy, did 4 session’s now. I basically work on ‘fear’ since the reason I went to see a therapist is that all of a sudden during horseriding I went into a huge fear without no apparent reason. A lot has changed already in my life and I’m very grateful, however it’s peeling away all the layers of the onion, and it takes time and patience. My question: after a session, I often feel sick for a couple of days or more, is this normal? How do I best cope with this. Thanks! Catherine (Belgique)”

The short answer: feeling sick after a past life regression is one way some people experience releasing, and it is not required for change to happen. You can let go of the need to feel sick and know that you have already changed. Your shift can be instant and comfortable.

This is what I answered Catherine on her past life regression experience: “Hello Catherine, thank you for wanting to hear my thoughts on this. I see from your pictures how much you love horses and how much riding them means to you. It is lovely! So what better way for you to present to yourself your next level of growth (releasing the sudden fears and the lessons they carry) than through your passion (riding horses).

“Normal” is a very relative word, my dear. “Normal” is different for everyone.

It is best that I answer you with a question. What do you get out of feeling sick for a couple of days or more after a past life regression? Does it serve to show you that you are peeling the layers of fear and unwanted stuff? That you are really changing?

I want to share with you the possibility of another “normal”. You don’t need to create a process to know that you have changed. You can let go of the need to feel sick and to know that you have instantly changed and become the person you prefer to be.

Horses are our symbol of freedom. Ride on this new “normal” possibility I am offering you and if it feels right, find speed and freedom through it. I am sending you wishes for a joyous new year!”

What are your experiences after connecting with a past life? Do you experience symptoms of releasing? Do you feel instantly changed physically and emotionally?

Is it normal to feel sick after a past life regression?

Some people feel tired, emotional, achy or a little unsettled for a day or two after a past life regression, especially when they release an old fear. Many others feel lighter right away. Both are common responses to processing a deep experience. Rest, drink water, journal, and let your change be comfortable.

Please note: this is not medical advice. If you have physical symptoms that worry you or last more than a few days, please see your doctor.

What people commonly notice after a regression

• Tiredness. Deep emotional work uses energy. Wanting to sleep early is very common.
• Emotions coming up. Tears, waves of sadness or joy, or memories from this life surfacing out of nowhere.
• Vivid dreams. Your inner self often keeps working on the story while you sleep.
• Feeling spacey. A floaty, slightly distant feeling for a few hours, which usually settles with food and movement.
• Lightness and relief. Many people describe a weight lifting, sometimes immediately, sometimes over the next days.

My aftercare checklist

• Drink plenty of water and eat a nourishing meal.
• Plan a slow evening with no big decisions or demanding plans.
• Walk outside, put your feet on the earth, or take a warm bath to ground yourself.
• Write down everything you remember while it is fresh: the scenes, the feelings, the lesson.
• Notice any patterns in your life that connect to the story you saw.
• Tell yourself, as I told Catherine, that you can change instantly and comfortably.
• Give yourself a few days before your next session. I explain how to pace sessions in How Often Can I Do a Regression?.
• If you feel physically unwell or symptoms continue, contact your doctor.

Journal prompts for your next regression

Writing is one of the most supportive things you can do after a session.

1. What did I release in my regression, and how do I want to feel now that it is gone?
2. What is my new “normal” after this session? How would I describe the person I have become?
3. Where in my body do I feel the change, and what does that part of me want me to know?

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to feel normal after a past life regression?

Most people feel like themselves again within a few hours to a day or two. Rest, water, grounding and journaling help. If physical symptoms continue, please see your doctor.

Why do I feel emotional after a regression?

Regression can bring old feelings to the surface so they can be understood and released. Tears and waves of emotion are a common part of that process.

Do I have to feel worse before I feel better?

No. You can choose to let your change be instant and comfortable. Discomfort is one possible way of releasing, and you can let go of the need for it.
