You keep meeting the same person in different bodies. The same fear surfaces with no memory attached to it. When people go looking for the root of a pattern like that, they usually find two very different doors with similar names on them: past life regression and a past life reading. This guide explains what happens behind each door, what each costs in India, and how to decide which one your question actually needs.
Quick Answer
Past life regression is a hypnotherapy technique: a trained therapist guides you into a relaxed, altered state so you can re-experience a previous life yourself, usually across one or more in-person sessions. A past life reading is an external session: a reader such as Medha accesses the karmic information on your behalf through tarot and your Vedic birth chart, with no hypnosis involved. A reading is faster and less expensive; regression is deeper but demands more of you.
Both approaches start from the same premise: that some of what you are living now did not begin in this lifetime. Where they differ is in who does the looking, what state you have to be in, and what you walk away with. Having delivered past life readings to clients across India and abroad, I can tell you the choice matters less than people fear, but it does matter.
What Is Past Life Regression?
Past life regression is a guided hypnotherapy process. A certified practitioner, usually a clinical hypnotherapist, talks you into a deeply relaxed state and then walks you backward: through childhood, before birth, and into scenes your mind presents as previous lifetimes. You experience the material first-hand: images, emotions, sometimes physical sensations.
Because you are the one doing the seeing, regression can feel extraordinarily vivid and personal. It is also demanding. It requires a practitioner you trust, a setting where you can safely go under, your willingness to surrender control, and often more than one session to reach and process anything substantial.
What Is a Past Life Reading?
A past life reading flips the arrangement: the reader does the looking, and you receive the findings. In my practice, you share your date of birth and the question or pattern that brought you, and I work through a dedicated tarot spread cross-referenced with the karmic markers in your Vedic chart: the 12th house, Rahu and Ketu, and Saturn's placement. You are never hypnotised, and you do not need to prepare anything beyond an honest question.
The reading arrives as a detailed voice note or written report on WhatsApp, typically the same day, with a follow-up window for clarifying questions. What it surfaces is the karmic thread itself: the vow, contract, or wound that keeps replaying, and what it is asking of you now.
"Regression shows you the room. A reading hands you the key and tells you which door it opens."
Regression vs Reading: The Practical Differences
- Who accesses the material: you do, under hypnosis (regression); the reader does, on your behalf (reading)
- Your state: deep trance, guided by a therapist (regression); fully ordinary consciousness, nothing required (reading)
- Format in India: usually in-person or long video sessions of 60 to 120 minutes (regression); delivered online via WhatsApp, same day (reading)
- Sessions needed: often two or more to go deep and integrate (regression); one (reading)
- Best for: people who want to re-experience the memory directly and process it therapeutically (regression); people who want the karmic root of a specific pattern identified and made actionable (reading)
- Comfort factor: requires trust, surrender, and comfort with altered states (regression); requires only openness (reading)
What Does Each Cost in India?
Past life regression therapy in Indian metros is typically priced per session, and rates vary widely with the practitioner's qualifications and city. Most certified hypnotherapists quote a few thousand rupees per session, and meaningful regression work usually spans more than one session, so budget for the full arc rather than a single sitting.
A past life reading is a single, fixed-price session. Medha's Karmic Accounts past life reading is ₹1,888, delivered same day via WhatsApp, with transparent pricing and no upsells. If you want the wider context of what readings cost across formats, the tarot reading cost guide breaks down the full price landscape in India.
Which One Should You Choose?
Choose regression if the experience itself is the point: you want to see the lifetime with your own inner eyes, you have the time and budget for multiple sessions, and you feel steady enough for deep hypnotic work. It sits closer to therapy than to divination, and a good practitioner will screen you accordingly.
Choose a reading if the answer is the point: a relationship that feels fated, a fear with no origin, a block that therapy and willpower have not shifted. A reading identifies the karmic root quickly and tells you what the pattern wants from you now. Many clients pair it with an ancestral reading when the thread runs through family rather than a single soul.
They are not rivals. A reading first, regression later is a sequence I often see work: the reading maps the territory, and if something in it calls you deeper, regression is how you walk in yourself.
A Note on Scepticism
You do not need a literal belief in reincarnation for either approach to be useful. Many clients treat past-life work as an archetypal framework: a way the psyche organises inherited patterns and karmic relationships. What matters is not proving a metaphysical claim. It is whether the pattern finally makes sense, and whether that clarity changes what you do next.

Book a Past Life ReadingFrequently Asked Questions
Is past life regression safe?
With a trained, certified hypnotherapist, regression is generally considered safe for most people, though it is usually not recommended for those managing severe anxiety, trauma disorders, or psychosis without medical guidance. A past life reading carries none of these considerations because you are never put into an altered state.
Do I need to be hypnotised for a past life reading?
No. In a past life reading you are not hypnotised and you do not need to do anything except share your date of birth and your question. Medha accesses the karmic information through tarot and your Vedic birth chart and delivers the reading to you on WhatsApp.
Which one should I try first?
Most people start with a reading. It is quicker, less expensive, and requires no preparation, and it tells you whether a past-life thread is even relevant to your question. If the reading surfaces something you want to re-experience directly, regression with a qualified therapist is a natural next step.
How much does a past life reading with Medha cost?
Medha's Karmic Accounts past life reading is ₹1,888, delivered same day via WhatsApp as a detailed voice note or written reading, with a short follow-up window for clarifying questions. There are no add-ons or upsells.
