Keep Going When the Going Gets Tough
When life becomes heavy, when losses, rejections, or illnesses test your spirit, it’s natural to wonder why. But from a spiritual view, challenges are not punishments; they are invitations. They call us to grow, to awaken, and sometimes, to remember.
Past Life Regression Therapy (PLRT) reminds us that our present struggles may have roots deeper than this lifetime, and that every experience, no matter how painful, is part of the soul’s curriculum toward wholeness.
The Purpose Behind the Pain
In spiritual psychology and PLRT, difficulties are understood not as accidents, but as opportunities for karmic resolution or soul learning.
Dr. Brian Weiss, a pioneer in regression therapy, wrote in Many Lives, Many Masters:
“There are many lifetimes and many lessons. When we resist them, the suffering continues. When we understand them, the healing begins.”
From this lens, the “tough times” are not meaningless, they are mirrors showing what the soul still needs to balance, forgive, or complete.
Challenges as Karmic Classrooms
Every life holds certain themes — abandonment, control, fear, loss, love — that repeat in various forms until they are understood and transformed. PLRT helps us uncover these hidden stories, so we can release the emotional weight that keeps them cycling.
For example, a person facing chronic rejection may, under regression, discover a lifetime where they themselves rejected others — not as punishment, but as a soul agreement to learn empathy and humility.
Understanding this doesn’t make life instantly easy, but it brings meaning — and meaning gives strength to keep going
As the Bhagavad Gita (4:37) says:
“As fire burns all fuel into ash, so does the fire of knowledge burn all karma"
Each challenge, when faced with awareness, becomes sacred fire — purifying old karma and freeing us to move forward with lighter hearts.
Healing the Roots Beneath the Surface
Many people come to PLRT not just to know their past, but to heal patterns that feel too deep to be “just psychological.”
Regression work helps dissolve fears, guilt, or grief that transcend this life.
When these deeper roots are healed, life begins to flow differently — relationships soften, synchronicities appear, and resilience grows.
In the words of Dr. Weiss (Same Soul, Many Bodies):
“The soul chooses the lessons it needs, and the people who help it learn them. Even the painful ones.”
Knowing this changes the question from “Why me?” to “What is this teaching me?”
That shift alone can transform despair into determination.
Divine Timing and the Art of Trust
Even healing has its seasons.
Regression sessions often reveal that certain karmic chapters close only when we are spiritually ready. What seems like a “delay” is actually divine timing — the soul’s way of ensuring that the lesson is fully integrated.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 echoes this timeless wisdom:
“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.”
In PLRT, we see that healing unfolds in layers — just as souls evolve through lifetimes. You cannot rush what your higher self has perfectly timed for your awakening.
When You Feel Like Giving Up
When you are exhausted, remember: your soul has walked through centuries, endured countless storms, and yet it continues to rise. You are not fragile — you are ancient.
Each lifetime has been a rehearsal for the strength you are now embodying.
When you feel lost, imagine your higher self — the eternal witness — whispering:
“You’ve overcome greater darkness before. This too is part of your light.”
Sometimes, simply remembering that you’ve endured other times, other worlds, gives you the courage to keep walking through this one.
Surrender and Transformation
PLRT often shows us that surrender is not giving up; it is remembering who’s really guiding the journey. When we stop resisting, karmic knots loosen, synchronicities increase, and the road becomes clearer.
As Rumi said:
“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.”
In the moment of surrender, divine grace steps in. That’s when the “going” feels less like pushing against life and more like flowing with it.
Keep Going, Soul Traveler 
You have walked through fire before — sometimes in other lives, sometimes in this one. And yet, here you are, seeking truth, light, and peace. That seeking is your strength.
When the going gets tough, remember:
- You are not being punished; you are being polished.
- The pain is temporary; the wisdom is eternal.
- You have survived lifetimes — you will transcend this one too.
PLRT reminds us that the soul’s journey is vast, and no moment of struggle is wasted. Every tear waters the seed of awakening.
Keep going
Not because the road is easy — but because your soul chose this path for a reason.
Keep going — through confusion, through heartbreak, through silence — because each step is a step home to yourself.
And when you finally look back from the summit, you’ll see: every dark valley was a classroom, every delay a blessing, and every lifetime — a note in the song of your becoming.
“Your soul knows the way. Keep walking.” — Brian L. Weiss
