Past life regression for weight is my journey of weight loss. I originally wrote my experience for this journal back in March 2023, which I have since replaced with this updated version. As of March 2026, I’m now 11 stone and I have just found out that my diabetes is in remission.

My experience of using past life regression for weight begins in February 2023. I set my intention to find out what my relationship was with my weight. I thought that perhaps my past lives may hold the answer. Also, I was wishing to practice my hypnotherapy skills.

Ever since being a teenager, I’ve struggled with confidence due to being overweight. In my 30’s, I often hated my reflection in the mirror, so much so that I didn’t want to go into work. At my heaviest, I was a size 22/24. I cannot tell you my weight because I refused to weigh myself. This is classic avoidance of the issue upon reflection.

I often used to ask myself…

‘why can I not be proud and bubbly like others who are overweight ‘?
‘Why can I not own my body like them’?

Self-Hypnosis with Brian Weiss

To assist me with my quest, I found a session of past life regression performed by the wonderful Dr Brian Weiss. Although not specifically tailored for losing weight, I went ahead without any expectations. His session is freely available on YouTube and you can view it here.

During this session, Weiss asks you to go back to a happy childhood memory. Consequently, I found myself back with my ‘nanna’ and she was preparing me a piece of crusty bread with lashings of homemade jam. Those feelings of happiness came flooding back to me and it was lovely.

It raised the following question.

Do I eat comfort food to feel safe, happy and loved?

Past life regression for weight

Later that day, I visited my good friend Pauline Mahony who is a retired teacher of hypnotherapy and Reiki. Yes, she’s responsible for training me.

I reflected upon my experience earlier in the day and asked Pauline if she would regress me to explore this subject of weight further. We talked a few more things through specifically about my weight and when I remembered being slim. Then the past life regression for weight began.

Time to relax

Following a deep relaxation, Pauline asked me to go back to a happy moment in my childhood. I would be lying to you if I told you that my conscious mind didn’t try and block the experience.

During any form of hypnosis, you must relax and go with the flow.

The object is to quieten your conscious mind so that a hypnotherapist can communicate directly with the subconscious mind. As instructed, I relaxed and went to a different childhood memory, again with my nanna.

My nanna was such a loving and caring lady who I suppose these days may be classed as obese. To this day, I don’t have a good relationship with the word, ‘obese’.

She sadly died when I was 11yrs old and I still miss her. Fortunately, and during my regression, I was reliving happy memories of walking her dog with her. She was also present with me in my sanctuary of healing light, a place of safe healing prior to regression.

I visited three lifetimes during my past life regression

During my past lives regression, I visited three lifetimes.

In only one of these regressions was I pretty much the same figure that I was at the time of regression.

I was a proud working cook who lived in her employer’s big house. I was happy and confident surrounded by my family. Weight was not an issue!

During another lifetime, I saw myself as a waif of a little girl, no more than 5 to 8 years of age. I was feeling scared and hiding in a foundry type setting with twigs caught in my dirty hair. I wore what looked like a torn hessian sack fashioned into a pathetic dress. When asked if I was happy, I stated ‘no‘. Pauline immediately took me out of there back to the safe confounds of my healing sanctuary. Upon reflection, I get the feeling that I was searching for food, and I was prepared to steal it.

Often, we can still retrieve information following a past life regression. Just allow it to unfold and put pen to paper. This allows you to comprehend your thoughts and feelings.

Foraging for food

In my third past life, I was experiencing ultimate joy, happiness and love.
I was a man about the age of 20 and I was watching my future wife who was 16 years of age foraging for food in a meadow. Love was filling the air, and I began witnessing our wedding celebrations. The entire village community were joining us and merrily singing, and dancing.

Weight is simply not an issue!

I wasn’t overweight and neither was my wife. It’s clear to me that foraging for food was a common practice. The year was 1642. I can still now, remember the feeling of intense love, adoration, and oneness as I watched her. Also, I had a strong feeling of being her soulmate. Weight wasn’t an issue.

Summarising my experiences

Out of these three past life regressions, watching myself scared and hungry in the foundry is most prominent.

I believe that this is the reason why I used to eat too much. Also, I’m fully aware of being conditioned by older generations not to waste food. Back in the 1980’s, you would be reminded of those starving in Africa if you left food on your plate. Also, our grandparents were conditioned to not waste food either following World War two.

Funnily enough, I can hear the words from Pink Floyd’s song, Another Brick in the Wall.

If you don’t eat your meat, you can’t have any pudding!

What have I learned about my weight through past life regression?

Towards the end of my session, I revisted my garden sanctuary and was re-united with my nanna. We hugged each other tightly and I realised that her weight didn’t stop me from loving her to bits. I loved her soul and she loved me for who I was.

I originally concluded that I will not be allowing my weight to affect my confidence any longer. Of course, it’s best to lose weight for health reasons. It is only me and my thoughts that make me feel ashamed of my weight. Life is too short, so get on with enjoying life and the company of those around me who do love and support me. Additionally, I believe that comfort eating was a problem to overcome and this stems from the past life of being a scared and hungry young girl, and possibly my trauma of my nana dying.

Most definitely, I got on with enjoying life and being grateful for all feelings of love and support.

Final thoughts about past life regression for weight

Although originally, I wasn’t thinking about my health, it’s amazing that my HBA1c is now normal. Thankfully, I’m attending an appointment tomorrow to discuss potentially coming off my medication.

This experience of reflecting on my journey teaches me the importance to not have expectations. Originally, I was open to what will unfold and I’m pleased about my diabetic news.

Be free of expectations

Past life regression for weight was my first port of call that would allow me to practice my skills of hypnotherapy. Clearly, I did begin losing the weight but funnily enough, I forgot about this particular experience. It’s only because I’m reflecting upon my journey of using past life regression that I came across my old journal.

Additionally, I became mindful about the food I was eating and how it made me feel. I also began practicing the techniques learned during hypnotherapy for weight control. Subsequently, it wasn’t just past life regression for weight that assisted me with losing weight, however, it most certainly helped me.

In January 2024, I asked Reiki to assist me with losing weight and I was seeing that as a defining moment until I stumbled upon this old journal. I’m so wonderfully amazed at how the universe works.

I most definitely went with the flow and nothing held me back on my journey of losing weight.
