Make Peace with Your Past and Heal Instantly

In readings and energy sessions with my clients, I often get new ideas for helping individuals heal from age-old emotional wounds or traumas that continue to spark pain and anguish. My work with Ancestral Healings* has gone a long way toward addressing the psychic and emotional pain many clients have and transmuting it into acceptance, resolution and newfound peace. But sometimes this powerful ancestral process is not what’s called for, and the Guides show us a different pathway to take – one that brings about energetic clearing and a renewed state of balance and inner harmony in an equally profound, and sometimes surprising way. nnOne of the new processes shown to me involves communicating with your essence self, or Higher Self, either in an earlier part of your life, or in a past life. In these sessions, I serve as the conduit for bringing through the voice, feelings and perspective of my client – either as an infant or young child in this life, or who the client was in a previous lifetime. nnIn some ways the process resembles a past life regression, but is more powerful. This approach doesn’t require the client to step back in time; rather, that responsibility and honor are placed on my shoulders. With the able help of the Guides, I embrace aspects of my client’s essence self so that he/she can have a real-time conversation with himself/herself – that is, with his/her Higher Self from an earlier period of time, either in this lifetime or a past life. Let me give you an example from real life case with a client. nnBernardo (not his real name) was very disturbed about a skin rash that would simply not go away. Try as he might, he was unsuccessful at clearing up the appearance of rough, scaly skin patches on his arms and back, and then some eczema appeared on his face. Naturally, he was self-conscious about this, and being in the fashion industry only added to his distress.nnWhen we started his session, the Guides promptly showed me a past life of Bernardo’s in which he was ostracized for having a disorder of some kind. But without going into a deep meditative state, I was unable to fully decipher the image I was being shown, or the specific message for him. nnAfter calling in Bernardo’s Higher Self, the Guides directed me to access the essence self of Bernardo from four lifetimes ago. Since all time is one from my perspective, and past and present merge or overlap into a holistic time frame, it was if I was looking at a mirror image resemblance of Bernardo – who he is today in Spain and who he was in France some 500 years ago.nnWithin moments, the essence of Bernardo’s past life came through to talk with Bernardo today – two aspects of Bernardo’s Higher Self were able to communicate with each other in the present time frame. And what transpired next took my breath away. nnBernardo in that previous life – four lifetimes ago – was named Pierre. Pierre was a good looking, prosperous young man who enjoyed the company of others, especially women. He was well respected, somewhat of an authority in his town. Then one fateful day he noticed a scarring on certain parts of his body and knew immediately what had happened. He had contracted a dreaded disease – leprosy – for which there was no known cure at the time. nnShocked and anguished by this horrific observation, Pierre made his way to the town’s priest who silently and gently escorted him to a cloistered area far beyond the outskirts of the village where those afflicted with leprosy were gathered to fend for themselves, as best they could. Pierre’s worst nightmare had become a reality. Here he was amongst deformed and scarred individuals, many of whom he could barely look at, much less have empathy for. And yet he realized he was one of them. The shame and self-disgust he felt were numbing. There would be no more physical comfort from family, much less from beautiful women who had poured their favors onto him without hesitation before now. Pierre’s life as he knew it was over.nnAs Pierre recounted the shock and horror of his life in the leper colony, Bernardo cried out to him, streaming love and compassion to Pierre. Pierre’s inability to look at himself in a puddle of water was in many ways a mirror reflection of Bernardo’s distaste for his own appearance, marred by an unruly skin rash that would simply not go away. That is, until his life-transforming encounter with Pierre – a heartfelt conversation with this past life expression of himself.nnAs Pierre relayed the only comforting moments of his exiled life to Bernardo, when the town’s priest would come to visit and hold him gently in his fatherly arms, Bernardo wept for both aspects of himself – the man he was today and the shadow of a man that he was in this past life. After exchanging deep feelings of love, compassion, gratitude and forgiveness for each other, the men felt at peace. I was then guided to facilitate a disconnecting of energetic cords that linked Bernardo with Pierre which were no longer in Bernardo’s highest good. nnWith care and respect, the two aspects of Bernardo’s Higher Self parted with loving feelings and a clear sense of release, resolution and freedom between them. nnAs you can well imagine, it was a very powerful session, one that neither Bernardo nor I will soon forget. And, of course, Bernardo’s last question was, “Will my skin get better now?” The Guides smiled broadly. I clearly saw them nod ‘Yes’ in unison. nnWithin a couple of days, the chronic skin issue that had been plaguing Bernardo for months started to dissipate. Yet, when he had moments of fear surrounding the way he looked, a small recurrence of the skin rash set in again. In response, the Guides directed Bernardo to re-enter or recreate the feelings of energy and love from his encounter with Pierre, and to project himself back into the forgiveness ceremony that he and Pierre had experienced together. Shortly after doing this, Bernardo’s skin began to clear up again and the ‘problem’ has not recurred. This was a telling confirmation to Bernardo that he had truly made peace with his concerns about physical appearance at the soul level. Today Bernardo’s skin is as soft and supple as a young boy’s, and he often thinks of Pierre with kindness, respect and deep gratitude.nnAs this real life example illustrates, issues that we are currently dealing with often have solid roots in our early life, or in a past life of which we may have no conscious awareness. Through helping to facilitate healing and energy shifts for a large number of people around the globe, I have learned that there is no singular or universal approach that works for every person or every situation. Each of us is a unique individual with a unique set of circumstances and lessons to learn in this life. Yet, there are certainly commonalities – they are simply expressed or played out differently in each of us. nnBeing in a state of gratitude and staying open to receiving fresh guidance creates a rich, fertile environment for accessing effective, sometimes innovative approaches. From this receptive state of openness and trust, we are able to overcome enduring challenges and transform relentless struggle into free-flowing feelings of peace and liberation.nn*NOTE: Ancestral Healing is based on an awareness that we are impacted by emotional and energetic patterns from prior generations within our family. Accordingly, any unresolved conflict or unhealed emotional wounds of our ancestors may be present within our energetic grid, since this is part of the larger energy pattern of our entire family. Ancestral healing involves healing our ancestors' unresolved emotional issues, problems or trauma, and thereby releasing us from any energetic patterns that link us to them - patterns that can have an inhibiting or disruptive influence on our life today.
