Nick believes that we store many memories from our past lives and that they can have a direct impact on our present life. He believes that a Past Life Regression experience can help a client to quickly get to the root of a present emotional issue and allow them to heal with ease.​

Many of us have heard or used expressions such as “In a past life” however, I’ve always been curious- What is the significance of exploring a past life? Do they really exist? And how might this exploration help one to identify certain blocks within themselves or perhaps even make peace with certain aspects of who they are today? Could there be any experiences from a past life that would shape and impact my present emotions, behaviours or experiences?

Nick Veit, a Past Life Regression Therapist, would say that yes, it it is entirely possible that our past lives can impact our present ones. In fact, Nick believes that we store many memories from our past lives and that they can have a direct impact on our present life. He believes that a Past Life Regression experience can help a client to quickly get to the root of a present emotional issue and allow them to heal with ease. He has spent many years training under the direction of Deborah Skye, founder of the Soul Therapy School, and believes that a Past Life Regression can assist individuals to remove old behavioural patterns, facilitate deep and meaningful connections within oneself and provide them with the necessary insight to allow the soul to flourish.

The Experience

When I met with Nick to go through my own Past Life Regression experience, I knew very little about what to expect. I knew that we would be diving into parts of my subconscious and was quite open minded to the unique experience ahead of me.

We began our session together seated in a cozy room at the Inner Arts Collective. First Nick asked me a few questions about myself, as well as my intentions for going into the experience. I explained to him that I was curious to see if there was something from a past life that I was carrying with me into the present that was no longer mine to carry. I wondered if there was something that could be holding me back in some capacity that I no longer needed to hold on to.

After our conversation, we were ready to get started. Nick asked me to lay down on a comfortable elevated table that was set up in the room. A blanket was also available to help keep me warm during the process and he provided me with an eye covering, which I used to keep my eyes closed and relaxed. As I lay down, Nick began guiding me through a few deep inhalations and exhalations. As I relaxed into my body and connected with my breath, he then started using a guided meditation (a form of hypnosis) to help bring me into my subconscious. I remember him counting down to initiate the transition and I vividly remember entering my subconscious through the base of a tree, entering further down into the soil and examining its roots. As I transitioned from above the ground down into the roots of the tree, an image of what looked like a large seed appeared floating in the centre of the lowest part of the tree trunk, right before the complex system of underground roots.

After this vision, things are a bit unclear to me for a period of time, though I do remember that Nick guided me to move back along my timeline, asking me to revisit memories from my adolescence, my early childhood and also my birth. Again, after this point, there is a bit of a blur in my recollection but the next thing I remember is being close to the Earth again and setting foot in what appeared to be a field or a desolate village. I remember looking around me and seeing nothing but expansive barren land, some old machinery, a wheelbarrow, a donkey, a somewhat dilapidated shed and some wood. 

An image of an olive tree then appeared. I was sitting underneath what seemed to be an olive tree and holding an olive in my hand. I felt that I had been working on the land and that I was using my hands to plant seeds that would later become olive trees. However, there was an underlying sense of sombreness that surrounded me. Something bad had happened to this land, though it was unclear as to what exactly had taken place. I felt that perhaps the land was once filled with various crops and trees and yet now it appeared to be quite deserted. As I sat alone, resting under the only tree in sight which was quite young and small, I remember gazing out into the distance and feeling somewhat sad and responsible for resurrecting this land.

Nick then asked me what my name was. The word “Val” came out of my mouth. He asked if I was male or female and at this point I wasn’t too sure, though I was leaning towards likely being male and significantly older. Here I was, Val, an old man resting under an olive tree, looking out at all the work that had been completed in the day and all the work that was still to be done. There were a few other notable images and scenes during my experience but this one in particular stands out to me the most. The feelings experienced during this scene were so intense and real and yet I’ve never had such experiences in my present waking life.

Reflections

It seems that in the process of hypnosis one is able to open up to the deeper levels of consciousness and with the right care and guidance, one can truly experience and connect with past lives. There is so much to explore within our subconscious mind and a Past Life Regression allows us to access parts of ourselves and parts of our reality that simply can not be accessed with the logical and rational mind.

A part of me wonders how much of my experience was a result of my active imagination or how much of it was me truly revisiting a past life? I am still processing the unique experience, though a few notable things have happened in my present life since then. I was walking around a few weeks after my session with Nick and stumbled upon a lovely hidden street. I had never walked down this street before but as I did, I remarked on how magical and quaint it was. As I neared the end of the street, I noticed a tree that looked quite familiar. I gazed up to see the name of the street that I had been walking on and to my delight and surprise the sign read “Olive Ave”. I smiled to myself and wondered if it was pure coincidence that I found myself wandering down this wonderful street.

Just last week, I was out for another walk and noticed a really interesting part of a tree located near the base. As I looked down at it, I was immediately reminded of my Past Life Regression experience and my journey entering into my subconscious. I snapped a picture to remember the moment and started to wonder if what I had experienced was truly a significant and deeply emotional past life. As I sit with the experience and examine its deeper meaning, I realize that certain themes come to mind. One that really resonates is the feeling of duty towards something that is beyond myself. There is a desire in my present life to help or fix things and that can sometimes be a tricky thing to navigate. Perhaps some of Vals’ feelings of being responsible for replanting trees, nurturing and “saving” the land has stayed with me and made me feel as though it is up to me to heal what has been hurt and broken in myself and as much as possible, in the world around me. One thing I do realize, is that in this present life, it would be much easier to take on such a task with others, rather than try to tackle it all on my own. In fact, it is part of a lesson that I am currently learning. ​

My experience with Nick was very unique, insightful and fascinating. I would be very curious to have another session with him at a later date to see what other experiences might come up for me. If you are looking for a way to connect with your subconscious, examine or uncover unconscious beliefs or simply allow yourself to relax and be guided back to a previous space and time, I would highly recommend working with Nick. Nick is a very approachable, genuine, open minded and kind individual. Immediately, I could sense how passionate he was about his work and a few weeks after our session together, he gave me a call to follow up with me and to check in to see how I was doing. Additionally, he provided me with an audio recording of our session together, which I could refer back to at any time. ​
