Not Seeing In My Regressions
Do you have trouble seeing images in your past life regressions?
The short answer: you do not need to see images to have a meaningful past life regression. Some people see, some hear, some feel emotions and some simply know the story. Every one of these ways is valid, and whatever comes through for you is relevant.
That is okay! There are other intuitive ways to experience your regression. These ways will allow you to get everything out of it you need.
Hear me help someone who didn’t see anything either in this video. And let me teach you how to use all your senses when connecting with your past, future and simultaneous lives.
And now I’d love to hear from you. How do you experience your past lives? Is it visually, or through your senses of touch or smell? How does it come through for you?
Have your say in the discussion below. Leave a comment and see what others are saying.
Thank you so much for watching! I am sending you oceans of love.
I look forward to seeing you on the next video.
“I am doing a past life regression for one month, but not able to find or see any visualization. I am a person who’s passionate about many things but not able to find a specific goal and cannot imagine myself in the future. Can you please help” – Upmanaya
Upmanaya, thank you so much for this question. I am so happy I can address it for you through this video.
One of the biggest misconceptions that people have when they do a past life regression is that it needs to be a visual experience. It doesn’t have to be. For some of us, naturally, it is a visual experience but each one of us processes the world through our senses differently. For some of us hearing is the stronger sense, for some of us scent is the stronger sense. So each one of us uses our senses differently. Naturally the same happens during a regression.
So if you’re doing a past life regression and nothing comes up I would ask you to consider whether you’re looking to have only a visual experience.
Sometimes people have very rich visually in details, colors, textures, experiences. They see faces, they see places, it becomes very much as if the way you and I are living our lives full of richness, full of detail. But that is just some people.
Other people, they have more of a flash of a scene, more of an awareness of something going on. The rest is a knowing, the rest is emotions.
For other people they hear things, they hear conversations, they hear background music. Sometimes they hear conversations in languages they don’t even speak.
Other people, they feel everything. So very little detail but there’s an elevated level of emotions. So people say “this is who I feel I am” and “this is what I feel is happening.” So it’s all about emotions.
And for other people it’s just a sense of knowing. So they don’t see anything, they don’t feel anything. They simply know what the story is like. There’s a thought that pops into their mind, then anther, and another, and they simple know the thought. And they simple know the story.
Now, neither one of these ways is better than the other. So allow yourself to experience whatever is coming through in a way that is right for you.
Also, sometimes what pulls you into another lifetime and allows you to lock into the experience of a past life is if you allow yourself, at first, to start imagining. So just actively allow yourself to start imagining. And here’s what you can ask yourself “if I were to imagine anything what would I imagine?” So just imagining.
And, of course, you were to speak to a quantum physicist or to a mystic they will tell you everything exists in this now moment. So your not really imagining you’re just connecting with something that exists out there for the first time, and that’s your first awareness of it.
Also, in traditional therapy we very often use the approach of asking a person to go on mind trips, to imagine things. So that we can analyze that information that the sub-consequence is providing us.
But truly the reason why I love the moment of imagining is because it allows you to get moving. It allows you to connect with a past life and ultimately when people begin receiving that information, those feelings, those images, all that information from other lifetimes, I rather not have them ask themselves “is this real? Is this a real past life” or “Am I imaging it?” I would rather have you ask yourself “is this relevant?”
And here’s the answer: Whatever you experience, it’s always relevant. It is always going to serve you. It is always going to provide you information that will help you be in a better place in your life.
As far as not having the passion and as far as not being able to find your purpose in life, even though you’re a passionate person, I invite you to consider whether it’s possible for you to start doing what you’re passionate about without worrying about the bigger picture. Without worrying where it needs to take you, without needing to know how it’s going to unfold for you.
Instead, follow what you’re passionate about. Do it to the best of your abilities. Do it without expecting where it needs to take you. You take it step, by step, by step. Always doing what makes you feel so passionate, so alive. And I promise you that’s how the path unfolds. That’s where you reach to the end of your life and you say “that was a life well lived!”
And now I’d love to hear from you. What are you passionate about? And also, how do you experience your past lives? Is it visually? Through your senses of touch, smell?How does it come through for you?

What if I don’t see anything in a past life regression?
You can have a full, meaningful past life regression without seeing a single image. Your past lives can come through hearing, feeling, smell, touch, emotion or a simple knowing. Whichever sense opens for you is the right one. Notice the first thing that comes, trust it, and let the story build from there.
I have guided thousands of regressions, and some of the most life changing sessions I have witnessed were almost entirely felt. One client saw nothing at all and yet knew, with complete certainty, that she was a mother waiting for her son to come home from the sea. The tears that came with that knowing told her everything she needed.
The other ways your past lives speak to you
- Knowing. A thought arrives fully formed: “I am a man,” “It is winter,” “This is my brother.” You did not reason your way there. Trust it.
- Feeling. Your body tells the story. Heavy boots, a rough wool shirt, bare feet on warm stone, a tightness in the chest when someone walks in.
- Emotion. A wave of grief, relief or love that seems bigger than the moment. Emotion is often the doorway to the lesson of that life.
- Hearing. Voices, a name being called, bells, horses, the sea, music, or a language you don’t speak.
- Smell and taste. Smoke, bread, salt air, incense. These senses are tied closely to memory and can pull you right into a scene.
How to prepare so more comes through
- Set one clear intention. Ask a single question, such as “Where does my fear of speaking up come from?” A focused question gives your inner self a direction.
- Let go of the picture. Before you begin, tell yourself, “However it comes, I will accept it.” This one sentence releases a lot of pressure.
- Start with your feet. When I ask you to look down at your feet, answer with whatever you sense first, even if it is only “I think I’m wearing sandals.” Details grow from there.
- Allow yourself to imagine. As I share in the video, ask “If I were to imagine anything, what would I imagine?” Imagining gets the story moving.
- Speak it out loud or write it down. Saying what you notice, even small things, tends to open the next detail.
- Be patient with yourself. Many people receive more with each session. I share how to pace sessions in How Often Can I Do a Regression?.
Journal prompts for your next regression
Use these before and after a session to discover how your intuition likes to speak to you.
- When I close my eyes and remember a happy moment from this life, which sense comes first: sight, sound, feeling or knowing?
- What did I sense in my last regression that I dismissed as “just my imagination”? What would it mean if it were true?
- If my inner self could answer one question for me in my next session, what would I ask?
Frequently asked questions
Can I still have a past life regression if I can’t visualize?
Yes. Many people who don’t visualize easily receive their past lives as feelings, sounds, emotions or a strong sense of knowing. These experiences carry the same wisdom and healing as vivid images.
Why can’t I see anything during my regression?
Often it is because you are expecting a visual experience while your strongest sense is feeling, hearing or knowing. Trying hard to see can also keep you in your thinking mind. Relax, accept whatever comes and let the story build.
Will I see more in future regressions?
Many people do. With each session you become more familiar with the relaxed state and more trusting of what you receive, and the details often grow richer.

Im wondering how closely this thought I have relates to this topic, but I cannot visualize anything in my actual life. When I think of something, I see nothing. I have no 3rd eye, if you will, but just try and remember what it would have been like and there are no memory smells, or sounds, or sights. It’s impossible to remember important parts of my life because of this and my memory for situations and events is horrible although I have a fantastic memory for details and facts. I think in words, mostly, so my vocabulary is outstanding, if that means anything. Ive looked this up and it’s being researched as a condition that with training, could be remedied. Im thinking goes this relates to past live regression though, since everything I’ve read and watched is all about “see yourself here” or “imagine you are doing this” and that’s impossible for me… my mind is just blackness…. and it’s making regressing very difficult…
Hello Crystal,
Thank you so much for sharing and reaching out for help.
A simple solution for you is to use your dream state. In dream state the conscious mind and the ego are bypassed and past life memories can very easily be connected with.
So here is what to do — Please get any of my regressions at http://mirakelley.com/product-category/regression-and-meditation-albums/
And play it before you go to sleep. Be in the bed and listen to the recording. Also, as you are about to play the recording tell yourself — I will have a past life dream. And I will wake up after the dream and I will remember it vividly and clearly.
It may work on the very first try. If not do a few more nights.
And please let me know your success and the stories that come up.
Have a wonderful day.

After trying many past life regressions I have not had many visuals. I have only had one flash of visuals & then a feeling & a knowing of what occurred. It makes me wonder if this has to do more with what intuitive gifts you have been born with. I have now started dreaming c more about 1 past life in particular. This dream is very visual but the hypnosis is not. Any idea why a dream would more visual than the hypnosis experience?
Hello Lisa,
In the dream state you have bypassed the conscious mind and the ego, so information comes through effortlessly without it being blocked by ego fears and stories we tell ourselves of what is possible for us. Please continue to use your dreams to connect with past lives. You are doing really well. If you would like us to work together so that I can guide you to experience your past lives during normal waking consciousness please contact me through this form http://mirakelley.com/work-with-me/
Thank you!
Have a day full of wonder and magic!
Mira
