Before the session: the discovery call
Every new client begins with a complimentary 20-minute discovery call. This is not a sales call — it is a genuine clinical conversation. Naveen will ask about what you are carrying, how long you have been carrying it, and what you have already tried. By the end of the call, you will have a clear sense of whether PLR therapy is the right approach for your specific situation.
If it is, the first session will be scheduled. If it is not — if hypnotherapy, psychological consulting, or a different modality would serve you better — Naveen will say so directly. This honesty is the basis of the practice.
How to prepare
Arrive rested
The regression state is easiest to enter when you are not exhausted. Avoid scheduling a session on a day you have been depleted. A good night's sleep beforehand makes a genuine difference.
Have an intention
You do not need a precise question, but a direction helps. What pattern are you hoping to understand? What feeling do you want to trace to its source? The more honest and specific the intention, the more precisely the session tends to organise around it.
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
Alcohol residue in the system interferes with the depth of the hypnotic state. Avoid it for at least 24 hours before the session.
Create quiet space
For online sessions: a private room, no interruptions, comfortable seating or lying down, headphones if available. A space where you feel safe to be fully inward.
Release expectations about format
The most common mistake is arriving with a specific idea of what the experience should look like. The subconscious rarely obliges. What it actually surfaces is almost always more relevant and more useful than what the conscious mind anticipated.
The session itself: stage by stage
A full PLR session at Soul Healing Foundation takes 90 to 120 minutes. Here is what happens at each stage.
- [01]Pre-session interview (15–20 minutes)
The session begins with a conversation. Naveen will map the specific pattern you want to explore, its history, physical sensations, emotional quality, and what you have already tried. This interview shapes the intention that guides the regression. It is also the space where any questions or concerns are addressed before the induction begins.
- [02]The induction (15–20 minutes)
A guided process using breath, voice, and imagery to shift your brainwave state from the busy beta frequency of normal waking consciousness toward the slower alpha and theta states. This is not sleep — you remain fully aware, able to hear and respond. The experience is one of deep, comfortable inwardness, similar to the edge of sleep but with full mental clarity. You remain in control throughout and can end the session at any time.
- [03]The regression (30–50 minutes)
Once the induction is complete, Naveen guides you to follow the feeling — the specific quality of the pattern you identified — back to its source. The subconscious navigates. For most clients, material surfaces naturally: a place, a time, a relationship, a moment of significance. The therapist follows what arises without imposing direction, asking gentle open questions: What do you see? What do you feel? What happens next?
- [04]Release and resolution (10–20 minutes)
Within the past-life material, there are typically one or more charged emotional moments — often the death scene of the past life, or the moment of the original wound. The session allows these moments to complete fully. This is where most of the therapeutic work happens. The emotional charge held in an unresolved past experience discharges when the experience is witnessed in its entirety. The release is often profound.
- [05]Return and integration (15–20 minutes)
Naveen guides you back to full waking consciousness through a structured return process. The session closes with a conversation about what surfaced, what shifted, and how to carry the integration forward. Some insights are immediately clear; others continue to surface in the days that follow. Post-session notes are recommended — the material has a way of deepening over time.
What you might experience during the regression
The experience varies between individuals. Some people receive vivid, almost cinematic visual imagery — scenes from another time, another country, another life. Others experience the material primarily through feeling: the emotional quality of a situation, the physical sensation in their body, a strong sense of knowing without seeing.
Both are equally valid. The therapeutic value does not depend on the richness of the imagery. What matters is the emotional truth of the experience — and that is almost always present, regardless of how the material presents.
Occasionally, clients feel that “nothing happened” during the session, only to find in the days that follow that something has shifted — a pattern that was active is no longer active, a fear that was present has gone quiet. The subconscious works on its own timeline.
After the session: integration
The work does not end when the session ends. The insights and releases from a PLR session continue to settle over the days and sometimes weeks that follow. Some clients notice immediate and dramatic shifts. Others experience a more gradual change — a pattern that was heavy becoming lighter, a fear that was pervasive becoming manageable.
Naveen recommends keeping a brief journal in the days after a session. The material that surfaced often has layers that continue to reveal themselves as the integration deepens. Dreams may become more vivid. Memories may surface. Emotions may arise and release without obvious cause. All of this is normal and part of the process.
A follow-up conversation is available if needed. Many clients find that a small series of sessions — three to five — produces the most complete resolution of complex patterns. Others find a single session sufficient. There is no fixed protocol; the work is guided by what actually surfaces.
