What Is Past Life Regression? (PLR)
Past Life Regression (PLR) is a hypnotherapy technique which uses deep hypnosis, an altered state of consciousness, to help hypnotized subjects (allegedly) recover memories of past lifetimes. When someone is regressed, they often vividly relive these supposed past life memories, inside their mind — with mental images, emotions and other sensory experiences (internal sounds, smells, etc.). They may also suddenly have insights or knowledge that their supposed past life had, and speak on things from that perspective.
This technique is used as an alternative form of therapy (hence “hypnotherapy”), to help individuals solve problems in their current life, by drawing on insights from their (alleged) past lives. In fact, most well-known books on the subject are often by hypnotherapists themselves (like Dr. Micheal Newton), who take their “patients” or “clients” into deep hypnosis for these practical therapeutic reasons, but have such fascinating theoretical information come up in their sessions, that they share them with the public.
There’s no consensus as to how PLR works (or if it even works) — but most practitioners claim “the subconscious mind” has access to much more information than our conscious mind does, and since that’s what deep hypnosis taps into, this is how the “memory” of past lives can be accessed.
To me, the most fascinating thing about it is that sometimes individuals regress so far back, that they claim to go to the very beginning of everything: to the source of reality, to God. It is these sessions which I will draw my investigations from.

The Source and The Sparks
Dolores Cannon at one of her awesome lectures.
Dolores Cannon is one of the most well known past-life regression (PLR) therapists and authors. Over the span of 50 years, she conducted thousands of sessions, and found information on life after death, reincarnation, aliens, God, and generally speaking — the deeper nature of reality. She presented all of it in books like, “Between Death and Life,” “Three Waves of Volunteers,” and my personal favorites, “The Convoluted Universe” book series (Books 1-5).
“I consider myself the reporter, the psychic investigator and the researcher of 'lost' knowledge. Thus the search is never-ending.” — Dolores Cannon (Past Life Regression Hynpotherapist and Author) (Convoluted Universe: Book 1, Location 94.)
Dolores first encounters with God came when clients started regressing to what they called “The Source,” or “Source Energy” during their sessions. For many years, and across many different clients, as it usually goes, she “began to encounter more people who reported the same experience and the same description.” (Convoluted Universe, Book 3, p. 315.)
They often described a “huge energy source,” perceived as “bright” “orange” or “white light” (sometimes surrounded by “iridescent colors”) — which was “one with everything,” felt “loving,” “safe,” “peaceful,” like it “just is,” and that returning to it even felt like “being home.” They also described “sparks” of energy which burst out of it, that not only ended up “creating universes” (as fundamental particles and forces), but also “incarnating as souls” in order to experience them. These very source energy “sparks” eventually returned to the source with their accumulated knowledge and experience, expanding the source energy awareness and its sense of oneness with all of creation.
Oddly enough, she says themes like the ones above were often “the norm no matter what the personal belief of the client.” In fact, she said “they do not even have to believe in God, yet they see and describe the same thing” (Convoluted Universe, Book 5, Ch. 15). So, it is this fascinating “Source Energy,” and its “Energy Sparks,” that you now get to explore, first hand, through the individual sessions themselves…
FYI: The sessions below are all brief excerpts from the original transcripts. I’ve stitched relevant pieces together so it tells a cohesive story. I also organized each session with headings of common themes (see them in the big description above), so you recognize the common patterns across sessions. As always, for the original full session transcripts, I really encourage you to buy her books — you’ll find other cool information there too.
Lastly, I want to thank Dolores for all the work she did. I could not be here piecing the puzzle of God together without it! As the saying goes, we stand on the shoulders of giants!
