Newbie to this forum, browsing shows a widely diverse subject matter here, but nice peeps to chat with. Thanks for having me
Recently I have thought of regressing or working past lives as solo only; not assisted by another human being. Can it be done, and if so what steps and processes need to take place?
btw have been quieting my mind for approx. 47 years.
My testing to-date is lacking progress.
Your thoughts an opinions matter.
It can be done solo. The probability of success differs from person to person. Personally, I need triggers for success. My entire life, I've had triggers but no tools. So I relied on deep feelings of connection to certain people and places (abroad). Some speculations, some flashes now and then but not much material to work on.
The youtube videos have become a great tool for me in recent years. Still, I need triggers that stir me up first. This can be people I meet or triggering situations I find myself involved. A feeling of unease and wondering what is going on.
A good guide on Youtube will take a lot of time for relaxation. Never pick a video that is less than an hour (personal rule) because you need that time to silence your surroundings and descend to your inner self. (So many times I just used such a video to ease my mind and body without the intent of going back to a former life, just because I knew how effective they could be
).
Take a look at this thread where we share our favorite videos and feed back:

I assume by the words of your post that you are not in a psychological crisis. In that case, I wouldn't recommend doing anything solo without experience. The risk will be that traumatic experiences from the past (those often surface first when you start) will overwhelm you and make you 'crazy'. In such a case, it is wise to consult a professional who is trained to guide past life regressions. They will take care that your mental health remains healthy.
This disclaimer is important for all the other readers and non-members of this forum who accidentally visit this forum with the same question that you have. As you mention that you feel stuck in your search for memories of past lives, I presume that you are just curious and interested.
Well, just start reading our thread with recommendations and pick a video that seems to resonate with you. Sometimes you just fall asleep because of the exercises of relaxation. If you lay down on your bed with your headphones on, this will happen easily. My best regressions were done while sitting in a comfortable armchair. This prevents the association with falling asleep which happens easily when lying on your bed.
Some people get easy access to past life memories, others do not. It is also not clear to you what to expect, so don't give up too soon. Another anecdote: I did a lot (!) of trials to go back to my most recent past life, mainly because that was a great blank after I already had gained memories of much older lives. Every time I wanted to enter that life (often represented by opening a door during self-hypnosis and stepping into a specific life), I still saw a kind of emptiness and gave up. Then one day, as in a hunch, I turned my sight to what was behind me instead of staring at that emptiness. To my surprise, I saw I was in a small military airplane. There was a wooden bench along the entire belly where soldiers were sitting quietly, waiting for their turn to jump out. My own point of view was in front of the open door, looking at the empty sky (white, so maybe inside a cloud). It was my turn to jump. I had never interpreted this as such, so many times before I just gave up on a regression, thinking I failed to regress.
A suggestion might be that you first determine your own hunches about a former life. I guess you already have some intuitive feelings toward something. Concentrate on the kind of information you already possess and start a guided regression while you are in this mindset. It doesn't guarantee that you actually will get into memories of such a life but it might help. Sometimes you will be surprised by unexpected visuals and that is ok as well.
After having had some experience with those guided regressions, my mind already knows that I intend to go back in time and sometimes I get visuals before the voice of the video tells me to open a certain door to a past life. I am still walking through a landscape (part of the relaxation exercises) or climbing some imaginary stairway and some animal or person is already walking with me along my path. Sometimes I get bombarded with random visuals before completing the introduction toward the actual regression. It is what it is. Sometimes the information remains incoherent and fragmented and sometimes you experience highly coherent regressions. In my personal experience, I see symbolics or graphics (like drawings) when I encounter traumatic incidents.
What I want to say is, don't expect daily logic when you start regressing. It's not like watching a chronological video in your mind when you regress. Often, trauma surfaces first, or other highly emotional events. Sometimes people get very disturbed afterward because of that.
I hope this information serves you in you own path.
