What if some of the fears, patterns, and relationship dynamics you carry didn't even begin in this lifetime? What if when certain places feel familiar and certain people stir something in you that you can't rationally explain, you can only understand it from a much bigger perspective? In this fascinating episode of Soul Elevation, I had the pleasure of talking with hypnotherapist and past life regression practitioner Jonathan Robinson for a conversation that opens the door to a deeper understanding of reincarnation, healing, and the soul’s journey through many lifetimes.

Jonathan shares how his own search for answers to life’s biggest questions led him into the world of hypnotherapy and past life regression. Drawn to questions about purpose, consciousness, and what happens after death, he found himself deeply impacted by the work of Michael Newton and Brian Weiss. Interestingly, these were two authors who were influential in my pre-awakening journey! What began for Jonathan as curiosity became a life path, and today he helps clients heal and gain insight through the deeper architecture of their incarnations.

One of thing I appreciated so much about this conversation is how it brings past life regression down to earth. Rather than treating it as a distant or purely mystical concept, Jonathan explains how these experiences can bring real insight into present-day struggles. He describes how unresolved trauma, fears, phobias, and recurring relational patterns may have roots that extend beyond this life. Through regression work, his clients can connect the dots in both healing and transformative ways.

I also go into a deeply personal story about a past life memory that surfaced somatically during a massage, which led to a surprising string of synchronicities. During a massage, I repeatedly found myself connecting to ancient Greece, particularly Crete, and over the following days I experienced an unusual series of confirmations and nudges that helped me make connections between my time there in a past life with unresolved issues from my past in this life. What stood out most was not only the sense of recognition, but the healing opportunity that emerged alongside it. This experience helped me to deepen my understanding that that past life material can arise in many ways and when it does, it may give an opportunity for karmic completion, forgiveness, and energetic reconciliation.

Our conversation also explores the idea of soul groups, the beings we incarnate with again and again in different roles and relationships. Jonathan describes how people in our lives may be part of a larger spiritual constellation, returning with us across incarnations to offer growth, challenge, love, and even difficult lessons. This perspective can cast familiar relationships in a completely new light, especially when there are strong bonds, unexplained tensions, or a sense of instant familiarity. More in this clip:

Another fascinating thread in this episode is the discussion of how memory and healing may live in the body. Jonathan shares stories of clients whose birthmarks, fears, or somatic responses seemed to correspond with experiences from previous lifetimes. This can be so powerful because understanding the emotional origin of a fear or recurring issue can help release the charge around it and release it for good.

I also loved when we explored the broader spiritual implications of past lives, including what these memories may reveal about the soul’s purpose, the role of the higher self, and the larger context of human incarnation. We talked about life between lives, spirit guidance, and the possibility of off-planet incarnations for souls who feel deeply connected to other realms or star systems. Obviously, I couldn't resist going into starseed territory! Jonathan didn't disappoint, with remarkable stories from clients whose sessions took them beyond Earth, offering glimpses into other forms of existence and consciousness.

For those who are curious about what a past life regression session actually feels like, Jonathan explains that it is a gentle and relaxing process, much like a guided meditation. They remain aware while entering a deeply receptive state, which allows them to access images, emotions, and impressions that can lead to profound insight. He also speaks about why hypnotherapy can be such an effective healing modality, especially when compared to approaches that stay only at the level of conscious analysis. By working directly with the subconscious, people can often create meaningful change much more quickly.

This episode is a rich and thought-provoking exploration of past life regression, reincarnation, soul contracts, and spiritual healing. It's definitely worth a listen if you are exploring the deeper truths of our human experience. Whether you already resonate with these ideas or are simply curious about what may lie beneath the surface of your current life experiences, this conversation is a beautiful invitation to consider the possibility that your soul remembers far more than your conscious mind does.

Jonathan Robinson’s work is centered on helping people access that deeper memory, release subconscious blocks, and reconnect with the wisdom of the soul. He also shares about his app, Journeys into the Subconscious, which offers guided hypnotherapy sessions for healing, relaxation, and inner transformation.

If this conversation speaks to you, be sure to listen to the full episode and share it with someone who would enjoy exploring the mysteries of past life regression and the soul’s journey across lifetimes. These are the kinds of conversations that can expand perspective, deepen self-understanding, and open new pathways for healing.
