Can someone lose control during past life regression? Can a therapist influence a client against their will? What happens when a traumatic memory emerges—and is it possible to become trapped in hypnosis?
In this penultimate episode of “TIME TRAVELING – A Spiritual Journey of Healing,” Chris Nielsen addresses some of the most common fears and misconceptions surrounding past life regression, hypnosis, and the experience of entering a trance.
The episode explores several essential questions:
Do people need a special gift to experience regression?
Can anyone enter a hypnotic trance?
Does the client remain in control throughout the session?
Can a therapist make someone do something against their will?
What happens if a painful or traumatic memory emerges?
Can someone become trapped in hypnosis?
Hypnosis is often perceived as mysterious or frightening. In reality, it is a natural altered state of consciousness, similar to the profound relaxation experienced between wakefulness and sleep.
During regression therapy, the therapist acts as a guide—a kind of GPS—but the client always remains the driver. Clients cannot be forced to do, see, or experience something they genuinely refuse. In this sense, hypnosis is fundamentally a form of self-hypnosis, requiring the client’s consent and participation throughout the process.
While some people enter a trance more easily than others, openness, trust, practice, and previous experience with meditation can make regression increasingly natural. Familiarity with the process can also reduce fear and allow a person to relax more deeply during subsequent sessions.
Regression therapy may uncover difficult memories, but it can also become a fascinating journey toward one’s own soul—filled with unexpected revelations, spiritual discoveries, profound answers, and opportunities for healing.
Chris Nielsen is the author of “Being Pyotr Ilyich – Tchaikovsky’s Inner Life, Revealed by Himself 130 Years Later,” a spiritual memoir exploring past lives, healing, the afterlife, and the deeper purpose of human experiences.

What is the meaning of human existence? Why are we here on Earth?
In Episode 60 of “TIME TRAVELING—A Spiritual Journey of Healing,” I share perhaps the most moving message of the entire podcast—a message about the ultimate purpose of our earthly lives.
My book, “Being Pyotr Ilyich,” emerged from an extensive healing process through past-life regressions: a year and a half of trances and nearly 100 hours of audio recordings, subsequently transcribed almost word for word. But the book’s final page was different. It was dictated to me from Above.
I felt as though I had become a channel for the Divine—and that the words I received were not intended only for me, but for all of us:
“All this incredible effort made by all of you and by Myself has only one purpose. Through the education I have given you during all these lives on Earth—which is a school—your evolution aims towards an essential and ultimate result: TO LEARN HOW TO LOVE. That’s all. To love yourself, each other and eventually Me…”
This episode explores how I experienced those deeply moving words and the Divine message they reveal about the meaning of life, spiritual evolution, and our purpose on Earth.

What if one soul could live several lives at the same time—each offering a different but complementary perspective?
In Episode 59 of "TIME TRAVELING – A Spiritual Journey of Healing," I explore the fascinating phenomenon of parallel lives: how I discovered it while writing "Being Pyotr Ilyich," what I have understood about it so far, and why parallel livesmay exist.
Regression is, first and foremost, a form of therapy. But throughout my years of working with current-life, past-life, and afterlife regression—both as a client and as a therapist—I have come to understand that it can also become an extraordinary instrument of spiritual research. It can help us explore the invisible dimensions of existence, life scripts, soul contracts, reincarnation, the Higher Self, and our relationshipwith the Divine.
In this episode, I share the understanding that one spirit may divide into several parts, each incarnating in a different body and living a distinct experience in parallel. The knowledge and experience gathered through each of these lives may flow continuously into the Higher Self, enriching the soul and helping it evolve faster and more profoundly.
I also speak about the parallel life I discovered while writing "Being Pyotr Ilyich." The two lives shared the same central theme—a profound love marked by powerful inner and external obstacles—but the roles and perspectives were reversed. Through these complementary experiences, the souls involved were given the opportunity to understand the same spiritual drama from opposite sides.
Since then, I have discovered other parallel lives—both my own and those of my clients. I am still researching this extraordinary phenomenon and trying to understand how these life scripts are created, how parallel lives complement one another, and how they offer the soul different perspectives through which to learn and evolve.

What can prevent a soul from continuing its natural journey toward the Light after physical death?
At the end of “Being Pyotr Ilyich,” Tchaikovsky’s soul does not ascend immediately after leaving the physical body. Instead, his transition follows an unexpected and difficult path.
In Episode 58 of “TIME TRAVELING – A Spiritual Journey of Healing,” Chris Nielsen draws on her experience both as a past life regression client and as a regression therapist to explore why some souls may remain earthbound after death.
The episode examines several circumstances that may make it difficult for a soul to detach from the physical and astral planes: sudden or violent death, the shock of not realizing that physical death has occurred, attachment to the body, unresolved conflict or revenge, promises made to loved ones, powerful soul contracts, and addictions that may affect the soul’s vibrational state.
Chris also shares examples from regression therapy and explains how love, patience, determination, and spiritualtherapeutic work may help a soul understand what has happened, release its attachments, and resume its natural ascension toward the higher realms.
An exploration of earthbound spirits, the astral realm, soul ascension, life after death, past life regression, and the spiritual journey beyond the physical body.

What happens to the soul after physical death—and what stages does it pass through on its journey toward the Light?
At the end of my book, “Being Pyotr Ilyich – Tchaikovsky’s Inner Life, Revealed by Himself 130 Years Later,” I describe the process that a soul may experience after leaving the physical body.
In Episode 57 of “TIME TRAVELING – A Spiritual Journey of Healing,” I explore this profound transition from the perspective of my experiences as both a patient and a therapist in past life regression.
Drawing on past life regressions, life-between-lives experiences, near-death accounts, and spiritual communications, this episode examines the stages often described after the end of a physical life:
• the separation of the soul and subtle bodiesfrom the physical body
• encounters with deceased loved ones, angels, or spiritual beings
• the soul’s first period in the astral plane
• the spiritual significance associated with the first 40 days
• the passage through the tunnel and toward the Light
• the role of spiritual guides, angels, and the Higher Self
• energetic cleansing and healing after an incarnation
• the life review and the integration of the soul’s lessons
• preparation for another incarnation or for higher spiritual dimensions
Physical death may mark the end of the body, but from a spiritual perspective, it can also represent the beginning ofanother complex and meaningful stage in the soul’s evolution.
The next episode will explore why some souls may remain trapped in the astral plane and what can prevent them fromcontinuing their journey Home.

What does the human soul truly need in order to find peace?
After more than twelve years of exploring the human soul through past life regression—as both a client and a regressiontherapist—I have come to understand that beneath our different stories, relationships, wounds, and fears, we all seek the same two fundamental answers:
Was I truly loved?
Have I been forgiven?
When we carry guilt, we long for the relief of forgiveness—whether it comes from another person, from the Divine, or from ourselves. At the same time, we need to know that we were genuinely loved by our partners, parents, children, friends, or those who have passed beyond this life.
In this episode of Time Traveling—A Spiritual Journey of Healing, I explore why love and forgiveness are among the deepest needs of the human soul, how they help us release guilt, and how they can restore inner peace.
The episode was inspired by a passage from my spiritual memoir, Being Pyotr Ilyich—Tchaikovsky’s Inner Life, Revealed by Himself 130 Years Later:
“You see, it’s interesting to notice that, in essence, regardless of the life story the two have shared, each of you needs to find out only two things from the other: that he was loved and that he was forgiven. Sometimes one of the two, sometimes both. And these are also exactly the two things that all of you want to hear from Myself: that I love you and that I have forgiven you.”
In this episode:
• Why guilt creates a profound need for forgiveness• Why self-forgiveness can be so difficult• Why we seek confirmation that we were truly loved• What people often need from loved ones who have passed away• The connection between Divine love, forgiveness, and inner peace

What if guilt is not merely a burden, but one of the most powerful forces behind the evolution of the human soul?
In this episode of “Time Traveling – A Spiritual Journey of Healing,” I share one of the greatest revelations I received during the regression experiences that supported my healing process and became the foundation of my book, “Being Pyotr Ilyich.”
As the Divine explained to me, guilt is fundamentally different from fear, anger, or sorrow. With these emotions, we often look outside ourselves for their cause—in another person, an event, or a painful circumstance. But the root of guilt lies within our own being.
Because guilt is so difficult to endure, it creates an intense desire to cleanse ourselves, repair what has been damaged,become better, and free ourselves from the burden we carry. This process of inner purification can generate some of the fastest and deepest forms of spiritual evolution.
Yet, from a higher perspective, the Divine does not judge us, and we are not sinners. Guilt may ultimately be part of the human experience not as a divine punishment, but as a profound instrument of self-awareness, healing, purification, and soul growth.
A short and accessible episode about the spiritual meaning of guilt—and why it may be the most powerful sculptor of the human soul.

What happens when, during a past life regression, we meet again a soul with whom we once shared love, pain, guilt, conflict, or unfinished emotions?
In this episode of "TIME TRAVELING – A Spiritual Journey of Healing", Chris Nielsen explores how forgiveness and reconciliation can take place in the context of past life regression therapy — not as abstract spiritual ideas, but as deep inner processes that allow the soul to release what remained unresolved.
A regression session is not only about remembering a past life. It can also become a space of healing, where the soul understands the deeper meaning of certain relationships, expresses what could not be said, receives what was missing, and begins to free itself from grief, anger, guilt, fear, or emotional pain carried across lifetimes.
Inspired by the final chapters of "Being Pyotr Ilyich – Tchaikovsky’s Inner Life, Revealed by Himself 130 Years Later", this episode looks at the way a soul may reconnect with another soul beyond the limits of one lifetime — and how forgiveness can become one of the most powerful forms of spiritual healing.
In this episode, we explore:
• how unresolved emotions may continue to affect future lives
• what can happen when two souls meet again during regression therapy
• why expressing the unspoken is often essential for healing
• how guilt, anger, grief, and pain can be released at soul level
• why forgiveness does not mean denying what happened, but understanding it from a higher perspective
• how reconciliation can help restore peace between souls
At its heart, this episode asks a profound question: can a relationship be healed even after death, and can forgiveness free the soul from pain carried across lifetimes?

Are we truly loving — or are we trying to fill an inner void through another person?
In this episode of “Time Traveling – A Spiritual Journey of Healing,” Chris Nielsen explores one of the most profound themes in her book “Being Pyotr Ilyich – Tchaikovsky’s Inner Life, Revealed by Himself 130 Years Later”: the difference between conditional love and unconditional love.
Inspired by a powerful passage from the book, this episode reflects on love not as a way of taking, possessing, or filling what feels empty inside us, but as an act of giving, offering, and sharing from an inner overflow.
What we often call love on Earth is not always born from fullness. Very often, it comes from lack — from the need to be completed, reassured, validated, or emotionally filled by another person. Unconditional love, by contrast, is born from a state of inner abundance. It is not centered on what we receive, but on what we are able to offer.
Chris also explores how healing, self-love, emotional balance, and spiritual evolution gradually transform the way we love. The more we heal our inner emptiness, the less we try to take love from others — and the more we become capable of loving freely.
In this episode:
• What is the difference between conditional and unconditional love?
• Why do we often seek love in order to feel complete?
• How does inner emptiness shape relationships?
• Why is true love more about giving than taking?
• How does self-love help us love others more freely?
• Can spiritual healing change the way we experience love?
• What does Divine love reveal about unconditional love?

Can Divine laws change — or does humanity simply become ready to understand them more deeply?
In this episode of "Time Traveling – A Spiritual Journey of Healing," Chris Nielsen explores one of the most profound spiritual questions raised in her book "Being Pyotr Ilyich – Tchaikovsky’s Inner Life, Revealed by Himself 130 Years Later": why Divinity may transmit certain laws to humanity, and later seem to add nuances that almost appear to contradict them.
Inspired by a powerful passage from the book, this episode reflects on the relationship between Divine teaching, human evolution, karma, free will, and the true meaning of Love.
Just as a parent teaches a child certain rules at one age, then reveals deeper truths when the child is mature enough to understand them, Chris explores the idea that humanity, too, is gradually becoming ready for a more subtle understanding of life, death, judgement, suffering, and soul evolution.
Through the lens of past life regression, spiritual healing, and the inner revelations that shaped "Being Pyotr Ilyich," this episode asks:
What if Divine law is not changing — but our capacity to understand Love is?
What if judgement belongs to the human level of perception, while from a higher spiritual perspective, Earth is a place of experience, learning, and soul growth?
And what if humanity is now approaching a threshold where the deeper meaning of Love can finally be revealed?
Based on the book "Being Pyotr Ilyich – Tchaikovsky’s Inner Life, Revealed by Himself 130 Years Later," a unique spiritual memoir born from past life regression and narrated from within the soul memory of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
