Sarah Jennings Churchill -a controversial figure in history. 1st Duchess of Marlborough
My First Past Life Regression:
My first past life regression convinced me that there was something to it when I heard names and saw places that I later confirmed to be a fundamental part of history. In 2002, curiosity (and perhaps a touch of fate) led me to a small New Age shop in downtown Denver. The place smelled of Nag Champa, and its shelves glittered with shiny crystals and mysterious occult trinkets. In the back room, a past life regression workshop was about to begin, a concept that felt equal parts fascinating and far-fetched.
I had no idea what to expect, but I brought with me the most important thing: an open mind. As I settled in and the hypnotist’s voice lulled me into a trance, something remarkable happened: I slipped effortlessly into a vivid, cinematic experience. I could see everything with startling clarity, as if I were walking through the memories of another soul. I heard names and saw places that meant nothing to me at that moment.
But the real magic came later. When I researched the details, I was stunned, they were real. The names of the people, the locations, the historical events I had never heard of before had existed! That was the moment I knew: past lives weren’t just the stuff of fantasy, and I came to understand a little about my soul history.
The hypnotherapist took us to the theta state, and she asked us What do you see? The first thing I saw was my tan granny boots, and my gown was down to the floor. She asked us what our name was, I heard my full name: it was Sarah Jennings Churchill. And I knew that I was married to an important military commander. My heart swelled with love and pride at the thought of John Churchill.
At the time of this regression, I had never heard of Sarah or John, although their surname sounded familiar because in America, we've all heard of Winston Churchill, but up until this point, I had never heard of Sarah. In the regressed state, I knew that I held the title of Duchess, but at the same time, I heard myself say, "Titles don't impress me." The regression continued, and she asked us to look in the mirror. I found myself looking into an oval gilded mirror on the wall. I could see that my hair was wispy and put up on my head, the color was dirty blond. I looked young and full of life, I felt pleased with how I looked, and I liked my strong body.
Historical Significance:
The hypnotherapist guided us to various scenes of importance within our story, I saw myself being shown around an estate; two young girls were giggling at play rolling down the hill. One had ringlets of dark brown hair; I didn't know who she was at the time of the regression, but after doing research, I now believe that was the day I met Anne, the girl that would later become Queen Anne. After they were done rolling down the hill, the girls came running to meet me. This day would have been an important one because it was the day that I moved into the Palace to begin working there. I believe that in this scene, my age would have been around fifteen.
Within the regression, I saw different scenes. She asked us how we felt, and I felt like my life was wonderful, like a dream. I had everything I ever wanted. I had a husband that I had great affection for and adored at a time when most people did not have true love in their marriages. My life felt good; as I walked around, I saw that I lived in luxury and had a sense of accomplishment. I saw myself walking down a hallway that took me to a room with French doors. When I opened the doors, I saw an outdoor courtyard with no grass, it was as if nothing had been planted. It seemed to be an empty house because my granny-style boots echoed as they touched the floor. This must have been my memory of Blenheim Palace as it was being constructed; there is a large courtyard that still does not have grass to this day, and I believe this is what I saw. The thought went through my mind that I would have preferred grass to what was there.
Parallel Lives:
Speaking of an uncanny moment in this lifetime, there was that moment when I worked in a nursing home. I remembered the old man I was taking care of looking at me as if he didn't know who I was and asked me, "What are you doing here?" I said, "What?" He said, "What is a Duchess doing here in a place like this?" At that moment, I had a flashback and saw myself wearing a beautiful light blue gown with gorgeous soft flowing sleeves. This was my favorite gown (there is a painting of Sarah wearing it). When it happened, I just thought he was senile and forgot who I was for a moment, it didn't occur to me that spirit spoke through him to stir up a soul memory. At this point in my life, I didn't even know past lives were a thing. I made a mental note of the incident because it was unusual.
There was that one time I was walking and heard a man shouting "Sarah, Sarah!" and I turned around excited to hear his voice. But I thought, my name is not Sarah, and that was weird because I knew that he was calling me. I don't know if there is such a thing as parallel worlds or if it is something else when we see and hear things from another time, but I made a note of it. If I had never done a past life regression, I would not have understood that those two peculiar moments held a special meaning for me.
When I was in second or third grade, I would often sneak off to my grandmother's bookshelf and flip through her old encyclopedias. There was one page I kept returning to, the image of the Churchill family. I didn’t know why, but something about it felt oddly familiar, as if I were gazing at faces I once knew.
Around the same time, a boy at school started calling me Medusa because of my wild, curly hair that stuck out in every direction like snakes. Years later, I learned something strange, eerily strange. Sarah Churchill, the woman I had once been in a past life, was despised by several people for her influence over Queen Anne. In one scathing newspaper article from the early 1700s, she was portrayed as a serpent-haired Medusa figure. It turns out that John and Sarah, the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, were among the first "celebrities" of their time, often ridiculed in the press. Little did I know that, as a child, I was already brushing up against echoes of a past life, hidden in the pages of history and the taunts of a schoolboy.
As an adult, on an ordinary day; while driving through my neighborhood, at the time, I stumbled upon an extraordinary realization. The streets I passed, such as St Albans Court, Scarborough Way, and Pembroke Circle, weren’t just random names; they were echoes from a past life.
Sarah, the woman I had once been, was born in St Albans. Scarborough and Pembroke were characters in her lifetime. And here they were, immortalized as street signs in my present reality. It was as if the universe had quietly scattered breadcrumbs from my soul’s history, waiting for me to notice.
I share this story in the hope that it stirs curiosity in those who have never experienced a past life regression and, perhaps, offers a sense of validation to anyone who has. Sometimes, the past doesn’t simply stay behind us; it weaves itself into the fabric of our present, patiently waiting to be remembered.
"To remember is to understand."
Before I close, I would like to announce that I am now able to offer past life regression to clients as a Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique intern. I have more stories to share regarding past life regression but for today, this is where my past-life regression story as Sarah, the Duchess of Marlborough ends. Please feel free to comment and share if you feel drawn to.
