Past Life Regression

Most things that have shaped your life have a cause you can trace.

Some don't. A fear with no origin. A relationship that feels inexplicably familiar. A place you've never visited that feels like coming home. A pattern that repeats regardless of how hard you work to break it.

Past Life Regression (PLR) — through hypnosis — creates the conditions in which those things may finally make sense.

Whether you arrive as a believer or a curious sceptic, you are equally welcome. Many of my clients arrive as sceptics — so did I. What many of us find is that PLR produces changes that nothing else does.

What Clients Have Experienced

Over the years, clients have described three broad areas of change:

A Clearer Understanding of Themselves: Many talk about moments of sudden clarity — seeing lifelong patterns with fresh eyes, recognising why certain relationships felt charged or strangely familiar, or finally understanding why particular fears, people or places held so much weight.

Physical and Emotional Relief: Some notice unexpected shifts: physical tension easing, long-standing anxiety loosening, or symptoms that never made sense beginning to settle. Others describe a release from fears, pain, or reactions that once felt automatic and inexplicable.

A Sense of Peace and Meaningful Change: Clients often speak about feeling more at ease with themselves, more grounded, or more connected to a sense of purpose. Sometimes old conflicts soften; other times something inside simply settles.

Not everyone experiences all of these. People often come in looking for one thing and end up discovering something entirely different. In many ways, that unpredictability is part of the work itself.

Each session lasts around two hours. What emerges is largely dependent on the willingness of your unconscious to engage, its readiness to reveal.

Some people experience vivid, detailed scenes from another time and place. Some encounter symbolic imagery, or a quality of feeling — recognition, grief, relief — without a clear storyline attached. Others find themselves in a state of unusually deep reflection, or in territory outside anything they could consciously have imagined. All of these are valid; each carries its own therapeutic value.

Throughout, you remain in control — free to speak, pause, or step back at any moment. My role is to guide and hold the space, allowing whatever arises to do so in its own way and at its own pace.

Everything is private and confidential. The setting is designed so you can simply become comfortable, exhale, relax — and explore deeply.

Years of practice have allowed me to master something I consider essential to this work — being simultaneously a steady, attentive companion to the client before me and a rigorous, genuine witness to what emerges. Both are needed. As a companion I create the safety in which exploration becomes possible; in that same space I remain a precise and steady observer, ensuring that what unfolds is seen clearly and faithfully.

I recognise that the mind carries impressions, images, and stories whose origins may reach far beyond a single lifetime. Across much of the world, the idea of living more than once is natural — woven into the philosophical traditions of hundreds of millions of Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains. A global survey by WIN/Gallup International found that 51% of people worldwide believe in reincarnation. I hold this awareness lightly — not as doctrine, but as context for the experiences people bring into the room.

My task is to create a space where whatever arises — memory, metaphor, symbol, or story — can be explored safely, at its own pace and in its own direction. To do this, I commit to clean, non-directive questioning — drawing on David Grove's Clean Language methodology — asking only what allows the person's own perceptions to unfold. Their words guide the process; my role is to keep the path clear of my assumptions.

Healing often begins when a person can witness the roots of their fear, pain, or confusion — whether those roots lie in childhood, in symbolic imagery, or in what they experience as another life. I honour the power of these experiences whilst leaving their meaning entirely with you. I record what unfolds with accuracy, reflect it back with clarity, and support you in discovering new patterns so you may live more freely in the present.

In my experience, not all the stories the mind carries are painful. Many are peaceful, fulfilled, intensely joyful, or quietly content. Yet in this work, it is often the unresolved, the turbulent, or the unfinished that rises to the surface — because these are the places where a person still feels held. I meet whatever arises — suffering or joy — with equal attention, simply following what emerges and trusting that the unconscious brings forward what is ready to be seen.

I recognise that much of human existence remains beyond my understanding. I approach each session with humility, curiosity, and respect for the mystery of the mind. Above all, I commit to serving the psychological wellbeing of each person courageous enough to explore their own depths.

I offer no doctrine, only a method; no certainty, only presence; no answers, only the cleanest possible questions that allow their own wisdom to surface.

How I Work

From Sceptic to Specialist

Everything I believed about past lives changed in the summer of 2012 during a hypnotherapy session that began quite routinely, with no hint of what was about to happen.

My client, a woman in her late 20s, arrived with a stiff neck that months of medical investigation had failed to explain. X-rays, MRIs — all clear. Her GP, finding nothing physically wrong, suggested hypnotherapy as a last resort.

During what I intended as simple progressive muscle relaxation, she began describing 17th-century Scotland in vivid, immediate detail. She spoke in the first person, as if she were there.

Then her story shifted. She became the protagonist of a love story that defied birth and class — and then, accused of witchcraft, she was sentenced to death by hanging.

As she described climbing the gallows, her breathing changed:

"I step onto the wooden planks. They creak. My feet tremble. The rope hangs still. The man loops the noose around my neck and tightens it. He pulls my hair. My heart is pounding."

My rational mind was scrambling: This is so far-fetched. Is she making it all up?

But something deeper whispered: Trust the process. This matters.

I'd been fascinated by Buddhism since my teens, devouring every text I could find — Milarepa's extraordinary transformation, Atisha's Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment, Guru Rinpoche's mystical demonstrations. But I approached concepts of reincarnation and consciousness as cultural phenomena — historical curiosities, philosophical frameworks, religious metaphors. Not living, breathing realities.

Meanwhile, something in my unconscious had other plans.

What I couldn't yet see was that this moment had been building for years.

At 22, stepping off the train in Edinburgh — a city I'd never visited — I was overwhelmed not just by beauty, but by profound familiarity. I'm back home, something deep inside whispered. My body relaxed. My breath steadied. A deep sense of recognition settled over me — undeniable, yet unnerving.

Edinburgh, old town view

A year later I moved to Edinburgh for my master's degree. I often recognised streets as if revisiting them. Once, strolling along Candlemaker's Row toward the Grassmarket, it was as if I were walking through two overlapping realities — one in the 19th century, the other in the present.

From childhood throughout my twenties, similar experiences would surface without warning — though they had a quality no daydream had ever had. I was, quite literally, a different person — different height, different age, even different race. One recurring vision stayed with me: being a tall, dignified black man, dying of hunger at the edge of a desert, feeling the weight of an entire family behind me. Each time, my rational mind dismissed these vivid, inexplicable flashes as mere fabrications — convincing itself, as rational minds do, that what cannot be explained need not be taken seriously.

As a student training in hypnotherapy, this contradiction deepened. When a colleague showed me video recordings of past-life regressions, I watched them keenly — then dismissed them as hallucinations. It was a reflexive dismissal. As someone who defined himself as rational, it would have been rather embarrassing to consider anything else.

My conscious mind had built a neat partition: spirituality was something to examine intellectually and study, therapy was something to practise, and never the twain shall meet.

My client's 17th-century self was standing on the gallows, her body trembling, her voice barely audible. "I'm waiting... A man shouts. The floor drops. I plummet... The rope catches. I can't breathe..."

She was suffocating in front of me.

My training took over. In hypnosis, an abreaction — an intense emotional release of previously repressed trauma — demands careful handling. The historical reality of her trauma was, at that moment, entirely beside the point — she was experiencing it as real.

And she was panicking.

"My neck snapped... Everything is dark... What's happening?"

You're safe now, I told her.

Then she became serene. Her voice softened.

"My body is dangling from the rope. I can see it from above. I feel so light... so free... I'm rising... Something's pulling me up...!"

A few moments of silence. Then she opened her eyes — as puzzled as I was.

As we talked, we both noticed it — she was moving her neck freely. The stiffness was gone.

Months of medical mystery resolved in less than an hour. And it stayed gone. I know because she WhatsApps me almost every anniversary of our session.

Back in the session, the experience had gathered a momentum of its own.

Within weeks I began studying with leading specialists in the field. Since then, I have conducted hundreds of sessions — some supporting conventional ideas of reincarnation, others challenging them.

In time I experienced PLR myself. From the very first session it offered an entirely new perspective on existence, and a deep peace I had never known. Those childhood flashes, the Edinburgh recognition — suddenly they had context, coherence, meaning.

Now, after many years, I have come to understand that the tension between conscious scepticism and unconscious knowing can become something productive — even essential. The sceptic in me still demands rigorous observation, but the healer celebrates every transformation that defies explanation.

My PLR work rests on four pillars: my Buddhist studies provide the philosophical framework; my lived experience provides the insights; my scientific training provides the methodology; my therapeutic practice provides the evidence. Together they form something more powerful than any single element — an approach with genuine therapeutic value for those who come to explore.

That session set everything in motion.

The Passage

You leave the plane into heat and light — and something else. The smell of Crete: wild thyme, oregano, the dry warmth of sun on ancient stone. Something within you begins to settle.

The road finds the coast. Light shifts: broader, more luminous, the sea gleaming as if lit from within, breathing radiance. The air carries salt. The horizon opens, vast.

Then the path turns inland — the hills rise, snow-capped mountains in the distance. The road twists and drops into the Kourtaliotiko Gorge. The world narrows.

The cliffs surge — raw, overwhelming. Stone taking the sky. A presence that opens.

Stone — here since the beginning. Your life — a brief spark against its immensity. Worries fall away. A quiet peace spreads. A recognition older than thought. A sense of eternity.

Small yet significant. Grounded yet lifted. Surrendered yet free.

Wind sweeps through stone corridors. The air cools. Sound changes. The pressure of time loosens its grip.

And then, suddenly, the gorge opens. Light expands. The wide crescent of Plakias Bay appears below, and the Libyan Sea stretches south toward Africa. By the time you reach the shoreline, something in the body has already shifted — quietly, unmistakably — before the first session has begun.

Your Retreat Starts Here

The retreat takes place in Plakias, a village on Crete’s southern coast with over 300 days of sunshine a year. Paligremnos Beach is within walking distance; Souda and the legendary Preveli — with its palm‑lined river gorge — are close by. The bay is held between two dramatic headlands: Kako Mouri to the east, and to the west, the rock formation locals call the Dragon, where each evening the sun descends into the sea. On clear days, from the beach, you can see Gavdos — the southernmost point of Europe, closer to Africa than to Athens — floating on the horizon.

This setting is not incidental to the PLR work. It is part of it.

The Libyan Sea — among the clearest waters in the Mediterranean — has a physiological effect that complements the therapeutic process directly. The steady rhythm of the waves regulates the nervous system. The open horizon and reflective surface create a sense of spaciousness that the mind absorbs long before the session begins. Water has long been associated with memory, emotion, and the subconscious — making this shoreline an especially receptive environment for regression.

The surrounding landscape deepens this further. Time in natural settings quiets the analytical mind, lowers stress hormones, and increases alpha wave brain activity — the very state in which vivid imagery and memory like experiences arise most readily. This is not metaphor; it is measurable.

Just beyond the shoreline, the land carries a profound sense of antiquity. Olive trees over 3,000 years old stand as living witnesses to millennia of human stories. Roman cemeteries, Minoan remnants, Byzantine chapels, Venetian fortresses, Ottoman traces — each layer of the past still visible, still present, still breathing in the landscape around you. Genuine Cretan hospitality runs through all of it.

The sea, the ancient landscape, the particular quality of light on this southern coast — together they create conditions where inner journeys find natural support, as if the land itself has always held human stories and is ready to recognise the many you carry within you.

One journey is inward, one outward. In this place, they quietly deepen each other.

The Rest Is Yours

Each session lasts around two hours. With preparation beforehand and time to sit quietly with what has emerged afterward, each session day asks three to four hours of you. The rest — morning, evening, and the hours between — is yours to shape entirely.

Some clients find that stillness is what they need: long hours on the sandy curve of Paligremnos Beach, an evening meal in the hillside village of Myrthios with the bay spread below, early mornings at Akti Café on Damnoni Beach — where Nikos brings five star craft to a seafront table — as the light moves across the Libyan Sea. Others find that movement carries the work further — that walking through a gorge, riding along the coast, or drifting in the crystalline silence beneath the surface of the sea helps the body continue what the session has begun. The body, it turns out, has its own way of integrating.

For those who want to move, trusted local partners can arrange scuba diving in the clear waters off Skinaria, horse riding through the Cretan countryside and along the coast, boat trips to the palm fringed lagoon at Preveli, or a hike through the Kourtaliotiko Gorge. For something quieter, massage, yoga, and creative workshops — writing, painting, photography, pottery, jewellery making — offer ways to bring what has surfaced into a different form of expression.
