Unlocking Past Lives

Unlike the patterns that originated sometime between childhood and
adulthood, there are many phobias, everyday fears and incessant
worries that don't relate to this lifetime.
Unlocking Past Lives

worries that don't relate to this lifetime.
I once had a client who drove under the same overpass every day for 20
years on her way to work. One day as she was approaching the overpass,
she broke out in a sweat and felt as if she couldn't breathe - she was
sure that she was having a heart attack. She turned around and headed
for the emergency room, where she was told she was "just having an
anxiety attack."
When this woman came to see me, I directed her in a meditation to
return to another time. When she did, she remembered being trapped
under an old bridge in Pennsylvania back in the early 1800s. She was
buried under heavy beams and rubble and she died there. The amazing
thing was that in her previous life, she passed away at the same age
she'd now reached in this life - which explained why the phobia hit
when it did. After we did the guided meditation, she lost her fear and
could go under the overpass again.
Life is like a record with different grooves and sometimes the needle
slips. What we have to do to keep the soul safe from a negative fear
that's no longer relevant is release it. This is called "pulling the
plug" on a negative past-life implant. When my own children had night
terrors, I just went in and told them that they were in this time and
what they were afraid of was in the past, long ago. When you do this,
it isn't necessary to go through details. The soul mind knows exactly
what you're talking about and it will surrender the offending fear
that blocks it from being free.
You can and should explore your memories - both from this life and any
past lives - and be investigative enough to see what you learn from
them. But analyzing isn't enough - you also have to neutralize any
challenge by asking for release. By doing so, you may even discover
how you can turn negative events into opportunities for positive growth.
I recently heard a comforting story about a woman who had a very real
near-death experience. She went through a beautiful bright light and
felt completely elated and then she was met by a gorgeous, radiant
being. She exclaimed, "I don't know if I'm good enough to be here!"
The being responded, "We expect you to spill the milk, but it's really
how you clean it up that matters." How simple, yet how true. That
statement really brings home the words of Jesus, that if we become
more like little children, the kingdom of heaven will be ours.
Don't get me wrong - there isn't anything easy about mulling over the
painful parts of your life, but you have to ask yourself: Do you want
to be enslaved by your memories or do you want to simply see them as
episodes that, painful as they are, helped you gain strength and
become who you are today? If you do the latter, you'll be able to gaze
into the mirror and know that you've survived the good and the bad and
you'll be freer and even stronger for it.
How about all the good memories we have? For me, those are the times
I've shared with my psychic grandmother, my friends, my children, my
teachers and my clients. Even holding my grandchildren's hands - these
are life's precious moments. When we make love happen, we allow our
soul to grow beyond all the weeds of bad memories.
Unlike replacing harmful habits with healthy patterns, you can't just
swap a hurtful memory with a pleasant one. But when you take a
balanced look at the positive and the negative in your life, then you
can take pride in not only what you've overcome, but what you've
become because of the sum of all your experiences. Learn, for example,
to say, "I've been abused, but there was a time when life was happy. I
can and will recapture that feeling without remorse or pain. I refuse
to substitute a false sense of security for happiness and I won't be
afraid to be alone, because I know that I'm always surrounded by God,
my guides, the angels and all my loved ones who have passed over to
the other side. I will replace any negativity that's attached to bad
memories and realize and repeat to myself: It was only a learning
process. I have been loved and I can love." |
