No matter whether you believe that you have a past life, sometimes dreams or memories that don't make sense pop into our minds anyway, or we have pain we just don’t understand. That feeling nags at us because while it may have no place in our life, it still rings true. These bits of information are our subconscious’ way of clearing away things we no longer need by letting us become aware of them, either in a real or metaphorical way. Maybe we meet someone for the first time who we feel like we have met before, or maybe we feel beholden to someone and we just don't know why.
I have worked with hundreds of people over the many years that I have been a hypnotherapist, helping them become aware or bring more light around these thoughts or impressions as they make themselves known. Regression sessions can bring a sense of peace and understanding. Sometimes we get stuck. Regression helps us resolve the past and move forward.
There is a new program on one of the networks called Past Life. While some of the information is authentic in the way past life information intersects with our lives, some is also sensationalized for the benefit of entertainment. For example:
·People do not always come right back after they die
·We do not always experience the past life immediately preceding the life we are experiencing now
·Individuals are usually not disturbed by past life information. In fact, it can be comforting and beneficial
·We do not always feel physical manifestations from that past time, though we can.
·We may or may not remember faces
·Memories are rarely violent or fear provoking. Some are joyful and fulfilling
Here is a little bit about what past life regression is, and how it can help:
Past Life Regression is a powerful tool for recognizing your destiny and fulfilling your deepest desires and needs. It is not necessary to believe in past life regression for it to work for you. Some people understand past lives as a metaphor for past experiences which hold them back from living the fullest life possible now. Shining light on those experiences brings the awareness and understanding, that aha moment, that illuminates the here and now, for joy and fulfillment today. It can also help remove physical maladies that have no basis in this life.
What Is Past Life Regression? Past life regression is an in depth exploration of past lives in which you will experience a journey back to a previous lifetime. It is not based on belief of reincarnation, but more the images, feelings and experiences the come to the surface during a trance state.
Why do we utilize Past Life Regression? We utilize past life regression in order to understand, recognize behaviors and old karmic patterns in order to release ourselves from unhealthy choices, recall many of the gifts and lessons from past lives, and heal through recognition and understanding. Fears, phobias and pain can be understood and released.
What about accessing the time between lives and how does it relate to Past Life Regression? We can access the time between our lives to become aware of our reason for being here on the earth, our soul’s purpose in this lifetime, our life’s work. Release blocks, understand karma, discover what is holding you back and learn conscious exercises to charge the energy centers to accomplish this most fundamental need. Connect with the people who are your supporters in this life and in between lives by becoming aware of who they are. We may have agreed to come into this life together. It is a joyous realization to become aware of these people who are our loved ones, teachers and family.
How many past lives do we have? We are not sure how many lives an individual may have had. Some people don’t believe that we have more than one life. That is okay. The subconscious mind shows us what we need to know, what we will benefit from at any given time, so more may be revealed over time.
Are there people without past lives? We do believe that some people are new souls, making their first journey on the planet.
The books of Dr. Brian Weiss are the seminal studies on past life regression, and highly respected. If you have interest in this topic, start there. His first book, Many Lives, Many Masters is a good book to start with. Or read more at my website.
What do we do about people who don't vibrate at the same place as we do? I'll say the same thing I usually do, which, by the way, I did not create or write, "act as if". Act as if the person is no longer an obstacle, and the obstacle will no longer exist. Most obstacles exist in our mind, or our heart. Once in a while, an obstacle really is a giant rock in the middle of the road. In that case, you really should drive around it and not keep running into it to try to get it to move. Sometimes it is a big pile of something soft and easy to get through, like feathers or leaves, in which case you can plow through it. You can decide. Trust yourself to know the best way through the situation. You can ask for help, too!
To me, the other important part of this discussion is self. How are you? Are you vibrating at the level you want to be for yourself? To be ready to receive what you are asking for, be ready for it! Listen to this sweet quote from Abraham:
"...—and anything you ask for is given. If there is any price to pay, or if there is any giving back something, it must be in this category of finally bringing yourself into vibrational alignment with what you're asking for. You've got to be a vibrational match to what you're asking for."
Hi All, I'm at it again with the cooking! My daughter, Jess suggested an easy grab and go breakfast that can be made ahead, frozen and nuked. Here it is: Jess' Individual Vegetable Fritatta preheat oven to 350o
Ingredients 1 cup egg whites (carton egg whites are fine) 1 whole egg (for color) 1/3 cup Ricotta cheese 1/2 cup freshly finely grated parmesan or romano cheese, divided 1 tablespoon whole wheat flour (for a bit of body) or 1 tablespoon ground flax salt and pepper to taste about 1 1/2 - 2 cups of your favorite vegetables (they can be left over or fresh)
I used 4 stewed tomatoes, chopped, 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, 4 stalks asparagus diced, fresh, and 2 large flowers chopped broccoli left over from last night's dinner Spray a non-stick pan with cooking spray (like Pam)and heat pan. add raw veggies. In my case, I cooked onions on medium til translucent and added asparagus and continued to cook until asparagus was tender. Added diced stewed tomatoes and broccoli and cooked until no liquid (from tomatoes) remained. Remove from heat.
Pull out a 6 or 12 cup cupcake tin. Spray 6 cups with cooking spray (or use paper cupcake liners, if you prefer)
Fill the 6 cups 1/3 loosely with veggies. Let mixture continue to cool. In medium mixing bowl mix egg white, egg, ricotta, 1/4 cup of parmesan, flour, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and add to each filled tin until almost full.
Place in 350o oven for about 20-22 minutes or until cooked through. Eat and enjoy. :)
I usually post my own recipes, but this one looked so good and so easy that I thought I would share. It is from Sunny Anderson's Cooking For Real program on Food Network. If you are in a rush, skip the brining of the chicken - just wash it well. If you are a veggie, substitute your favorite fake meat :) Even thought it calls for cooking it in the oven in a dutch oven or heavy pot, I'll bet you could also do a crock pot variety. The molten chocolate cake from the same episode looked awesome also, but I haven't tried making it yet. Will keep you posted.
Anytime you feel negative emotion, stop and say: Something is important here; otherwise, I would not be feeling this negative emotion. What is it that I want? And then simply turn your attention to what you do want. . . . In the moment you turn your attention to what you want, the negative attraction will stop; and in the moment the negative attraction stops, the positive attraction will begin. And—in that moment—your feeling will change from not feeling good to feeling good. That is the Process of Pivoting.
