Hi, soul on a journey…
If you have ever found yourself lying awake at 2 AM, contemplating why certain emotional triggers, unexplained fears, or physical symptoms persist despite years of medical consultations and traditional therapy, you are not alone. When conventional methods reach their boundary, many seekers begin searching for deeper answers. Inevitably, the concept of Past Life Regression Therapy (PLRT) emerges on their radar.
Yet, right beside the curiosity lies hesitation. Popular movies and sensationalised media often portray regression therapy as a dramatic, uncontrollable trance where a hypnotist takes command of your mind, swings a pocket watch, and leaves you vulnerable to terrifying hallucinations or getting "trapped" in another era.
Let me reassure you immediately: that is complete fiction.
As a Doctor of Pharmacy graduate with years of experience in clinical pharmacy and pharmacovigilance, and as an Amarantos Certified Past Life Regression Therapist operating from my private studio in Chennai, I approach regression therapy with rigorous clinical discipline, sacred reverence, and unconditional emotional safety. Having guided over a hundred individuals through one-on-one journeys, I know that true healing begins when mystery is replaced by clarity.
My foundational philosophy is clear: All your sufferings are rooted in the soul's journey.
Your present reality is continually influenced by unfinished karma carried forward across lifetimes. When you access the root cause stored within your subconscious mind, you give yourself the clarity to make your life 60% better. But how does this actually transpire in a real session? What does it feel like, what are the exact steps, and what happens once you close your eyes?

1. The Foundation: The Three Minds and Theta Brainwave Mechanics
To understand what happens in a regression session, we must first examine human consciousness. In my practice, I educate every seeker on the framework of the Three Minds:
- The Conscious Mind (5% of daily functioning): This is your logical, analytical, waking awareness. It evaluates, doubts, rationalises, and constantly plans. While essential for daily survival, it acts like a strict security guard that filters out anything it cannot logically categorise.
- The Subconscious Mind (95% of daily functioning): This is the highest, most powerful state of your mental operating system. It houses your autonomic bodily functions, deep emotional habits, long-term memory, core beliefs, and karmic imprints. Any command accepted at this level manifests into physical and emotional reality.
- The Unconscious Mind: The deepest universal and archetypal archive of the soul's total journey across cosmic time.
When you sit in ordinary conversation (operating in the Beta brainwave state of 14–30 Hz), your conscious security guard prevents you from reaching the root karmic files. Past life regression gently guides your brainwaves from active Beta down through relaxed Alpha (8–13 Hz) and into the slow, meditative Theta state (4–7 Hz).
Theta is the natural mental state you experience right before drifting into deep sleep, or during moments of profound, reverent meditation. In Theta, your conscious mind does not go to sleep; rather, it steps gently to the side. You remain completely aware of where you are, you hear my voice clearly, and you can speak and reflect. The difference is that the doorway to your subconscious is wide open, allowing genuine soul memories to surface into awareness.
2. The Complete 9-Step Clinical & Spiritual Session Process
A past life regression session with Dr. Karishma is not an unstructured, casual hypnosis experiment. It is a systematic, compassionate, multi-hour therapeutic protocol designed to uncover the root of your suffering, extract profound wisdom, and clear karmic debt. Here is the step-by-step roadmap of what actually occurs.
Phase 1: Pre-Session Education & Conscious Demystification
Every session begins in comfortable, seated conversation. I never rush a client onto the recliner. We spend considerable time addressing your rational questions, setting expectations, and thoroughly dismantling fears.
I explain that you will not be "knocked out." You are never under my control; you are the sovereign traveller, and I am simply your trained navigator. You are reminded that belief and an open heart are prerequisites for this sacred work. Because subconscious transformation requires genuine receptivity, we align your intentions so your conscious mind feels secure, respected, and at peace.
Phase 2: Theme Setting (Pinpointing the Root Issue)
Past life regression is not spiritual tourism. We do not regress simply out of casual curiosity to see if you were royalty in ancient Egypt. Curiosity alone scatters energy. Instead, we anchor the journey around a specific, pressing Theme.
Your theme might be:
- An unshakeable, irrational fear or phobia (water, heights, fire, driving, abandonment).
- A chronic, unexplained physical ailment that medicine has not resolved (asthma, eczema, migraines, tremors).
- A repeating karmic loop in relationships (magnetic attraction to emotionally unavailable partners, repeated betrayal).
- A severe, unexplainable block in financial abundance, career progression, or spiritual peace.
By locking in the theme, we give your subconscious a clear directive: "Take us to the exact origin point responsible for this specific suffering."
Phase 3: Dominant Sense Assessment (VAK Protocol)
One of the greatest reasons people worry they "cannot be hypnotised" is the mistaken assumption that past-life recall is always like watching a crisp high-definition movie. That is simply not how human neurology functions.
Before beginning induction, I administer a targeted Dominant Sense Assessment to identify whether you are predominantly:
- Visual: You perceive inner worlds through mental imagery, colors, symbols, and scenic impressions.
- Auditory: You perceive through inner knowing, hearing spoken words, tone, music, or environmental sounds.
- Kinaesthetic: You perceive through somatic bodily sensations, emotional waves, temperature shifts, or heavy/light gut feelings.
If you are kinaesthetic, forcing you to "visualize a bright light" creates frustration. By identifying your dominant sense, I adapt my spoken navigation to match your nervous system's unique language. (You can take our free Dominant Sense & Hypnotisability Assessment online before your appointment.)
Phase 4: Comprehensive History Intake
We trace the timeline of your current life from early childhood to the present day in relation to your chosen theme. We explore family patterns, childhood environments, key emotional shocks, and medical history. This intake provides the therapeutic context necessary to bridge past-life discoveries seamlessly into your present waking reality.
Phase 5: Progressive Relaxation & Theta Induction
Once you are comfortably positioned on our dedicated healing recliner in our quiet Chennai studio (or in your quiet space during an online session), the induction begins. Using gentle, measured progressive relaxation and rhythmic breathing guidance, your physical body settles into profound stillness.
Your heart rate decelerates, muscle tension in your neck, jaw, and shoulders dissolves, and your brainwave activity shifts steadily into the restorative Theta frequency. You feel deeply calm, heavy yet buoyant, peaceful, and anchored in safety.
Case Insight: The Driving Phobia That Medicine Could Not Explain
A 34-year-old corporate professional approached my Chennai studio paralyzed by a baffling fear: he could drive a car completely fine when alone, but the moment his wife and children entered the vehicle, he experienced debilitating panic attacks, cold sweats, and tremors. He had attended 7 advanced driving courses and sought conventional psychiatric therapy with zero improvement.
During Phase 6 of our regression session, his subconscious took him to an early 20th-century incarnation in which he was a bus driver operating a vehicle along a treacherous mountain pass. A sudden brake failure sent the bus tumbling into a river valley, drowning every passenger aboard. In his present life, his subconscious was running an obsolete emergency program: "If you carry loved ones in a vehicle, you will kill them." Once that soul guilt was witnessed, forgiven, and severed in the Theta state, the phobia dissolved permanently. Today, he drives his family across South India in total peace.
Phase 6: Past Life Navigation & Root Trauma Traversal
Once the doorway is open, I guide you to step through time and space to the exact life connected to your theme. You might look down and notice your footwear, your clothing, your hands, or the earth beneath you. You immediately sense your gender, approximate age, and geographic environment.
We do not live every single minute of that life. Instead, your subconscious highlights key landmark moments: the family dynamics, the central conflict, the moment of emotional wounding, and the unresolved decision that created the karmic debt. Throughout this process, I remain by your side, asking clarifying questions, checking your somatic comfort, and holding a tranquil energetic container.
Phase 7: Soul Review at the Death Transition
In classical clinical past life regression, moving through the death scene of that past incarnation is often the most illuminating and liberating moment of the entire journey. You observe the passing as an untethered, peaceful soul consciousness—completely detached from physical pain.
Floating above that lifetime, we conduct the Soul Review:
- What was the primary lesson your soul was attempting to learn in that incarnation?
- Did you leave that lifetime with bitterness, anger, guilt, or unfinished vows?
- What karmic debts or emotional baggage did you carry forward into your current birth?
By viewing that life from the soul's vantage point, the illusion of victimhood vanishes. You understand that your suffering was not arbitrary; it was a chapter in your soul's continuous education.
Phase 8: Pre-Womb Memory Work & Life Between Lives
This is where Dr. Karishma's therapeutic approach differs profoundly from standard hypnotherapy. While many practitioners conclude the session immediately after the death scene, I guide you into the sacred spirit realm—the Life Between Lives.
Here, before your soul entered your current physical body, you made conscious agreements known as Soul Contracts. We explore:
- Why did your soul choose your specific mother and father?
- Why did you select the specific hardships, family dynamics, or physical vulnerabilities of your childhood?
- What unfinished karma did you agree to settle with the significant souls in your current life?
Connecting with your pre-womb intentions produces an immediate, awe-inspiring sense of spiritual sovereignty. You realize with crystalline clarity that you were never a helpless victim of circumstance. You chose this incarnation with deliberate courage.
Phase 9: Somatic Grounding, Reprogramming & Post-Session Integration
After receiving guidance from your soul guides, I gently guide you back into conscious waking reality. You slowly reconnect with your physical body, wiggle your fingers and toes, and open your eyes feeling grounded, light, and refreshed.
We review your experience in detail, translating symbolic soul memories into actionable, daily choices. I provide specific post-session guidance: rest, hydration, and gentle sleep. The subconscious mind continues processing and rewriting cellular pathways long after the session finishes.
Dr. Karishma's Personal Origin: Healing Severe Stress Asthma
My passion for this work was not born from intellectual theory—it was forged through personal healing. For years, I suffered from severe, stress-induced asthma attacks that struck me up to 7 times annually. Despite my rigorous clinical background in pharmacy, bronchodilators and medical treatments could only manage the acute symptoms; they could never touch the root cause.
In my own deep regression training, my subconscious revealed a past life as a young woman who had been violently choked to death following a heated emotional argument. In my present life, whenever an emotional argument or severe stress triggered feelings of helplessness, my throat would somatically constrict in ancient cellular panic. The moment that past trauma was uncovered, honoured, and released, the respiratory panic vanished. I have now been completely asthma-free for over three years without medication.
3. The Judge and Jailer: How Regression Reframes Your Antagonists
One of the most transformative elements of past life regression is understanding the people who have hurt you in this life. When clients come to my Chennai studio suffering from severe heartbreak, family estrangement, or business betrayal, their natural human instinct is anger, resentment, and a desire to see their tormentors punished.
I share with them our signature teaching story: The Parable of the Judge and the Jailer.
"A court judge sentences a convicted man and instructs the jailer to whip him 10 times every day for 10 years. The jailer carries out this punishment faithfully each day. Does the jailer hold personal enmity against the criminal? Not at all. He is merely executing the sentence decreed by the court. In the very same way, difficult people in our lives are often like jailers. They are orchestrated by universal karmic law to settle our unfinished debts. You do not need to harbour hatred toward them. Take comfort knowing that your past karma is clearing right here, right now. Just as the court sentence has a fixed term, your suffering is strictly finite. Once the debt is cleared, peace returns."
When you realize through regression that your greatest antagonist is simply an actor playing a difficult role to help your soul balance its ledger and learn unconditional love, hatred dissolves. You cease feeding them your valuable life force.
4. Debunking the Top Myths About Past Life Regression
Because accurate clinical information is scarce, misconceptions abound. Let us dismantle the most common fears directly:
Myth 1: "I might get stuck in a past life and never wake up."
Reality: It is physiologically and neurologically impossible to get stuck in trance. Theta is a natural brainwave frequency. If a therapist were to walk out of the room, you would either drift into normal sleep for 15 minutes and wake up refreshed, or your conscious mind would simply open its eyes. You remain in complete control at all times.
Myth 2: "What if I discover I was a terrible or evil person?"
Reality: Over hundreds of incarnations, every soul explores diverse archetypes—the healer, the soldier, the wealthy ruler, the impoverished beggar, the wronged, and the wrongdoer. The soul realm does not view past actions through human judgment; it views them through lessons learned. Observing an unenlightened past life allows you to forgive yourself and break repeating cycles of guilt.
Myth 3: "What if it's all just my imagination making things up?"
Reality: The conscious imagination constructs stories based on your current ego preferences and recent Netflix shows. True past-life recall carries a distinctly different sensory and emotional frequency: unexpected historical details you had no prior knowledge of, profound spontaneous emotional catharsis, and immediate physical symptom resolution. In clinical practice, whether a seeker views the memory as literal historical reincarnation or profound subconscious metaphor, the healing outcome remains 100% genuine.
5. What to Do After Your Session: The Integration Phase
A vital principle I teach every client is that past life regression is not an overnight miracle. The therapist opens the doorway; the client must walk through it and do the integration work in physical reality.
Subconscious reprogramming happens over days, weeks, and months following your session. Here is how to anchor your healing:
- Sleep on It: Your subconscious brain does its heaviest rewiring during REM sleep. Allow yourself extra rest for the first 72 hours post-session without over-analyzing what you witnessed.
- Pay Debts in the Currency of Love: When old triggers or difficult individuals reappear, do not react with your old defensive programming. Meet hostility with calm emotional boundaries and internal goodwill. Love is the only currency that settles karmic accounts.
- Cultivate Radical Daily Gratitude: Practicing daily gratitude rewires your nervous system to expect abundance rather than scarcity. As I often share with seekers: "Practicing gratitude has changed my life. I can never see the negative in anything. Whatever happens, happens for good—and when you retrospect your life, you find that even unpleasant moments shaped you for the better."
- Maintain Clear Energetic Boundaries: Refuse to indulge in victim narratives. Replace "Why is this happening to me?" with "What is my soul mastering through this?"
Frequently Asked Questions About Past Life Regression Sessions
1. Will I lose conscious control or reveal private secrets during regression?
Never. Past life regression uses light to medium Theta trance, not unconscious anaesthesia. You remain 100% conscious, alert, and in full sovereignty throughout the entire session. You can speak, pause, ask questions, or open your eyes at any moment. Your subconscious mind acts as a protective guardian and only brings forward memories relevant to your chosen healing theme.
2. What if I am sceptical or think I cannot be hypnotised?
Every person with normal cognitive function enters Theta brainwave states naturally every day right before falling asleep and upon waking. Trance is simply focused relaxation. However, a willingness to participate and open-minded receptivity are prerequisites; subconscious reprogramming cannot be forced upon an unwilling mind. Dr. Karishma administers a Dominant Sense Assessment (VAK) prior to regression to tailor the induction to your natural neural wiring.
3. Can online past life regression work as effectively as in-person sessions in Chennai?
Yes. Subconscious navigation and Theta brainwave induction operate entirely within your internal nervous system. Whether you sit in our quiet Chennai healing studio or connect through an encrypted online video session from anywhere in India or abroad, the clinical depth, emotional safety, and therapeutic outcomes are identical.
4. How many sessions are needed, and how quickly does healing occur?
Most seekers achieve profound clarity and release in a single comprehensive session dedicated to their core theme. Reprogramming the subconscious is not an overnight miracle; it is an ongoing neurological and energetic integration that unfolds over days, weeks, and months following the session, supported by conscious effort and daily gratitude.
5. What is the difference between past life regression and pre-womb memory work?
Past life regression explores pivotal physical incarnations to identify where an unfinished karmic debt, vow, or somatic trauma originated. Pre-womb memory work (Life Between Lives) takes you into the non-physical spirit realm before your current incarnation, allowing your soul to remember why it chose your specific parents, family dynamics, and life lessons.
