#568 Past Life Regression Explained with Boris Walter

OCT 16, 2026100 MIN

Description

This one took me somewhere I've been fascinated by and a little scared of for years: past life regression. My guest is Boris Walter, a psychotherapeutic consultant who has guided over a thousand hypnosis sessions and who stumbled into this work almost against his will. I share my own past life experience that shifted a lifelong behaviour pattern instantly, and then Boris takes us right into what this work actually is. We get into what past life regression really is (and why hypnosis isn't the scary mind-control thing the movies sold us), the case that almost made Boris quit, how he spoke to an entity coming through a client and helped shift a whole family lineage, why our gifts get shut down in childhood, and the pattern he sees across every single session: judgment waiting to be resolved into love. It's deep, a little wild, and exactly the kind of conversation my community lives for. What You'll Learn: What past life regression actually is, and why hypnosis isn't the loss of control we fear How Boris accidentally fell into this work, and what a thousand-plus sessions taught him The case that almost made him quit, and the ethics of what clients should and shouldn't remember How healing a trauma in one lifetime (or one ancestor) can shift an entire lineage Why our intuitive gifts get shut down in childhood, and how to reclaim them The pattern underneath every session: judgment waiting to be resolved into love Chapters: 00:00 — Welcome, and my own past life experience that changed everything 04:13 — Boris's story: from fly-in fly-out welder to psychotherapy and hypnosis 07:42 — How his clients led him into past life (parallel life) work 13:43 — What past life regression actually is, and the fear around hypnosis 20:42 — The responsibility of holding this sacred space 24:28 — The case that almost made him quit: the recording that went wrong 31:33 — What he learned, and the psychic who gave him "the marking" 39:43 — Speaking to the ancestor: healing an entity and a whole lineage 49:25 — How our gifts get shut down in childhood, and reclaiming them 56:06 — The pattern across 1,000+ sessions: judgment, forgiveness and truth 01:07:00 — The bigger picture: polarity, fear and the state of the world 01:19:00 — Judgment, spiritual bypassing, and meeting people where they are 01:24:34 — Final message: you only ever meet yourself 01:29:18 — Where to find Boris 01:34:08 — The council, and the "blue flame" message about his gift Work with Boris: Boris Walter, psychotherapeutic consultant (book a 1-hour or 3-hour session): https://borisfwalter.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boriswalterofficial More Human Design Resources: Get your free Human Design chart and Visionary Archetype: https://www.emmadunwoody.com/get-your-chart Work with me inside Maggie AI: https://meetmaggie.co/ Subscribe to Substack for the full Money + Human Design Series: https://thehumandesigncoach.substack.com/ Resources Mentioned: Boris Walter: https://borisfwalter.com/ Ainsley McLeod (past life intuitive, mentioned by Emma) Matthew James Bailey (ethical AI, past guest mentioned by Emma) Hard Yarns podcast (where Emma first came across Boris) The 21-Day Money, AI & Human Design Challenge Support the show
