A typical Past Life Regression session usually lasts between 90 minutes to 2 hours, though some practitioners extend sessions to 3 hours for deeper exploration. The initial consultation and relaxation induction typically require 20 to 30 minutes, allowing clients to settle into a receptive state. This preparatory phase is crucial for establishing trust and ensuring the client feels safe and comfortable.
The main regression experience itself often spans 60 to 90 minutes, during which clients explore one or sometimes multiple lifetimes. The depth and richness of the experience varies greatly between individuals. Some clients access vivid, detailed memories quickly, while others need more time to relax into the process. The practitioner guides the journey carefully, ensuring the client maintains a therapeutic trance state throughout.
Following the regression, integration time is essential. This typically involves 20 to 30 minutes of discussion about the experience, helping clients process emotions and insights that emerged. Many practitioners consider this debrief period as important as the regression itself, as it helps anchor the healing and understanding gained during the session.
First sessions often run longer than subsequent ones, as more time is needed for explanation and building rapport. Experienced clients who return for additional sessions may find they can enter the regression state more quickly, allowing for deeper exploration within the same timeframe. Some practitioners offer extended sessions for complex issues or when multiple lifetimes need exploration.
The session length also depends on the specific technique used. Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique sessions, for example, typically last 4 to 6 hours, including extensive interview time. Traditional hypnotherapy-based PLR sessions tend to be shorter. The practitioner adjusts timing based on client needs and responses.
Group regression sessions, which some practitioners offer, usually last 60 to 90 minutes and provide a different dynamic than individual work. These shorter sessions focus on specific themes or general exploration rather than deep personal healing. Individual sessions remain the gold standard for therapeutic work.
Ultimately, session length should never be rushed. Quality practitioners prioritize the client’s process over strict time constraints, ensuring complete experiences and proper integration before concluding the session.
