I recently had a past life regression hypnosis session with Jessica Chapin. I know, it sounds SUPER woo woo and like I am a little off my rocker (this may also be true). I like to think I was a viking, a trapeze artist or a saxophone player in my past lives- disappointingly, none of these came up in our session.
Let me set the stage. I went to Jess’s quaint studio where she also does Reiki sessions. I was welcomed with a glass of water and a cozy seat. Then, Jess talked me through what the session would be like. I had no expectations (I rarely go in with expectations in situations of the Woo.) She asked me a series of questions that help to bring my subconscious to the forefront prior to hypnosis. Next, I was visualizing my favorite “safe” space and walking down steps in my minds eye. There was some snapping and counting that people come to expect from what we see about hypnosis on TV. (There was no gold medallion being waved in front of me.)
Once I was in my safe space she led me through a “tunnel”, if you will. I was transported into an environment where everything around me was white. I had on a dress from the 20’s and I could feel pin curls when I touched my head. I knew that my dress had a sash and buttons. I couldn’t place where I was floating but when Jess prompted me to move through the space I could see that I was on a photo shoot. I did not want to be there and felt tremendous pressure to perform. So, sensing my discomfort in this life, Jess lead me to another.
In the next life I was a man. I was in a boat in the middle of nowhere. There was a deep sadness alongside a comforted feeling. I felt compelled to jump in. So I did, and then I drowned. This was not frightening but expected like I already knew the plot line. Jess asked me to look into the eyes of my former self. When I did this I could see the pressure placed upon me in that life to be “strong” and not “weak”. I did not allow myself in that life to be who I truly was. So….. I let that shit go.
To be honest, I don’t know how this works. (This is why you should ONLY go to a trained professional). Nor can I say for sure these were the former ME’s. What I can say is that I had a visceral experience in a safe space. I learned more about who and what I want to do in THIS life. The sensations and emotions that I processed were real. I was under hypnosis for an hour and it felt like 5 minutes.
I have may take-a-ways from this experience. The most prominent being my affirmation for the upcoming new moon:
“I am soft AND strong”.
