Also, in this post, I’ve uploaded some photos of the space.

We look forward to seeing you there.

The Unconscious Mind

In understanding the terrain, one could simply remember what their dreams are like. Dreams do not follow the rules of physical reality and often need to be interpreted for meaning. It is this same part of the mind (the unconscious) that works on us during our waking reality and can lead to things that we believe (in waking consciousness) to be irrational or ‘non-typical’ behavior.  As we all know, the unconscious mind is symbollic and has no need for time and space.

One unconscious process that we use in waking reality is memory. Memory is a function of the imagination and as we also know, is open to interpretation. It also can be highly symbollic and does not concern itself with time or space (or you wouldn’t be able to remember past events). 

Past Life Regression and Memory

With this information about memory, let’s talk more about past life memories. Often these memories run into each other, because the unconscious mind relates experiences more as a constellation rather than on a linear time-line. Often there are several lives that cause karma which produce effects in this life time. So, I’ve noticed a couple of different phenomena that happen fairly often in my practice. We might find, for instance, that one may experience several different lives during a sitting that all reflect the same karma. Also, as happens less frequently, but still worth noting, is that lives may actually inter-pose on each other revealing a karmic relationship.

As an example, a person may find that he is an ancient Isrealite in the desert with Moses and is wearing a 1940′s German military uniform. This might reveal to an individual his karma in regard to anti-semitism as an example.

Getting out of the Human/Earth Paradigm

People often have experiences as insects, animals or non-earth intelligent beings. All of these (if you believe that there is life on other planets) are possible and should not be discounted. Whether it is a reality or material from your unconscious mind is not the issue here. Rather, it is material that is asked to be looked at for information and healing. So, do not judge the reality of the experience but what you think you know about the cosmos. Rather judge the experience to it’s relevance to what you are experiencing around your intention.

In my last two posts, I reviewed what hypnosis is not and what it is. In this article, we look at how to prepare for the actual experience to utilize this experience for a deep healing and assist you in getting the most out of the regression.

Before Embarking on a Past Life Regression, Have an Intention

This is extremely important as it will direct and focus your experience and give you a framework in which to understand the particular past life experience. Without the intention, the past life experience may be too vague to utilize. Also, the type of intention is important. Make your intention specific to mundane life, and have at least a little bit of an emotional charge to it. This way, when life is happening afterward, you will notice positive change that will help enhance and improve your life situation. Examples of the sorts of intentions that work best include:

“I would like to improve my health” (with a focus on a particular condition).

“I would like to improve or understand my love relationship” (problems with partner or no partner).

“I want to understand my issues at work”

You get the idea.

Our Problems Stem from our Past Actions

Now before moving any further, the above statement is often thought of in the West as “blame the victim”. This is not the purpose of this statement. Whenever we see injustice or problems, regardless of their origins, we all should work to right wrongs and alleviate suffering whenever we can.

The true purpose of this statement is to help alleviate suffering as it does give both an answer to “why is this happening to me” as well as direction and motivation for future actions. Also, it explains why there are certain parts of your life that are going really well (you are experiencing the results of your positive actions from past lives) and why certain parts are not doing well (you are experiencing the results of your negative actions from past lives).

It’s not blame or punishment; it’s a result of the mindset that comes from past actions. So, by revisiting these situations, we have an opportunity to change our mind and thus change the causes of our outer experience. Judgment, blame and punishment have nothing to do with this.

So we are utilizing the intention to find the past actions of the karma we are now experiencing. We re-experience these actions, get a new perspective which cause new choices, understandings and clears emotional and energetic blocks.

Our next article will discuss the unconscious mind and give examples of how past life regressions arise from the unconscious mind and how one might interpret them.

Hypnosis is a state of relaxed concentration which makes it easier to have a ‘single pointed’ focus and a removal of other distractions from the mind. When one can achieve this state, it is much easier to make changes, insert new suggestions into the unconscious which are easily accepted (suggestibility), find lost or forgotten memories (regression and past life regression therapy) and access to motor and bodily processes (metabolism, pain, heart rate, blood pressure etc.). Also, it is believed that you have access to DNA, Spirit Guides or “other worldly guidance”, other extra-sensory intelligence (psychic visions for example) and other transpersonal visions (seeing the wholeness of all life and its connectedness). All of these are articles and studies all on their own, for the purposes of this article however, we’ll stick to the very basic, elementary explanation, which once understood are easily translated to these other subjects.

Simply put, the mind is the computer and the body is the robot. What the mind commands the body does. The result of what the body does is information for the mind which transmits it back to the body. This is a cyclic relationship that can cause or heal trauma, cause or heal ignorance, aversion, etc. Any physical or emotional state is a result of this relationship.

So when placed in a relaxed state, the mind tells the body to relax, the body relaxes and the mind becomes more relaxed. This is a cycle of relaxation that is often used in hypnosis to calm the body which calms the mind.

You can see this relationship by visualizing a “bright yellow lemon”. Cut into the lemon and taste the juice and you might find that your mouth waters and/or puckers. In reality, however, there is no lemon, no juice, only the mental image and the body reaction. If you continued to eat the lemon in your mind, you might find that your mouth waters more, or that you give yourself heartburn. Whatever your body’s reaction to this would be, it has all occurred because of the mind and nothing solid or in ‘consensus reality’.

So, if you then can change your mind about the lemon and your reaction to it, you can then change your reaction to the same stimuli in consensus reality. You could perhaps change how you experience the taste of the lemon or your body’s reaction to the lemon.

These same principals then can be applied to life situations, physical dependencies or health concerns because your mind, the commander of the body, literally dictates how the body functions. There is ample research on physical healing, pain control, post-operative healing, and even cancer that point to the mind’s role in the healing of the body.

Now, I’d like to spend a little more time discussing the specifics of Past Life Regression. Specifically, what might you expect if you were to try this modality?

This is a series of articles that will include:

1) Demystifying hypnosis
a) What Hypnosis is Not
b) What is Hypnosis
2) The particular aspects of past life regression (the actual experience)
3) The two questions that are often asked about regression therapy.

Demystifying Hypnosis

Often, people come to a past life regression or hypnosis session with preconceived notions about hypnosis. Specifically, many are concerned about “mind control” or “losing control over their free will”. This, more often than not, comes from sensationalist media claims and from hypnotists who would rather put on a show rather than utilize hypnosis as a way to help an individual change their attitudes, habits and beliefs about themselves. So, when discussing what hypnosis is, it is important to discuss what it is not.

What Hypnosis is Not

Hypnosis is not mind control, and under no circumstances will you do anything that is against your will. You will not blurt out secrets, unless you want to; you will not rob banks, sing like an opera star; nor will you change any unwanted habit; unless you choose to do so. One way to demystify hypnosis is to unveil the hypnosis stage show, how it works, and how, for entertainment purposes, this can look like the hypnotist is controlling the mind of those on stage.

The Hypnosis Stage Show

Now, before continuing, I am not completely opposed to the hypnosis stage show. What I am opposed to is the use of the hypnosis stage show to an uninformed audience; making the hypnotist look like the all powerful and mighty controller of the mind. While this makes for good theater, it has created much disinformation and distrust of a very useful healing tool.

This is how the stage show works. There are of course variations on this technique, however the general principle of choosing and eliminating subjects will apply. The important rule to remember is that you will not do anything that is against your will.

The Hypnotist observes the audience and searches out those who would be willing to come on stage and do entertaining things whether or not they are hypnotized. So, he/she watches the audience to see whose behavior would fit well on stage; generally, an extrovert who has very animated or even outrageous behavior. So, if the audience is say 100 people, this “filter” will limit the number of people the hypnotist must watch in the audience as subjects.

Then, the hypnotist will do a progressive relaxation and visualization (or some other hypnotic trance technique) and watching those ten or so, see which of those people are showing signs of hypnosis. Those who do come up and are part of the show. If there is an “uncooperative” subject, they hypnotist will let him/her go and make it look like part of the show.

This is not to say that these subjects are not hypnotized as they are, but it comes back to willingness of the subject to do what the suggestions are anyway.

There have been serious changes in the cosmos and its never been more important to make sure that you are able to move freely into the new energy without painful issues from the past holding you down.

Exploring your past life experiences in a ceremonial healing circle could help you release painful issues around prosperity, relationships, or understanding your purpose in life. Sometimes we simply are not aware of how events are affecting us or how they are unconsciously carried over and relived in our present day experiences.

A Past Life Regression Circle can optimize your healing by:

•    Understanding the meaning behind your current experiences
•    Clearing the physical and emotional stress out of the body
•    Restoring the neurological system to a pattern of health
•    Reconnecting with your Higher Self and finding peace with the karma of your past life experiences.

Do You Feel As if You Can’t Get Ahead … no matter what you do?

Are you feeling as though things are happening that just don’t seem to make any sense?

Karma from a past life experience might be the cause.

Look at this symbol and ask yourself,

“Would a past life healing circle be helpful?”

If the answer is yes, reserve your space in our upcoming circle.

Perhaps a private session would be better. If so, give us a call and we would be happy to help you evaluate your needs.

(505) 271-4612 or (505) 603-0112

If you aren’t in our area, we have many other soul resources in our repertory to help you move through negative issues.

We always recommend that our clients and group participants have a strong intention for their past life regression so that they get the most out of the experience. It’s all fun and good to contemplate the possibilities of who we were in a past life or if someone that we know today has been with us in our past lives, however, it’s much more beneficial to consider “What is really bothering me today? Am I in a position to transform negativity that is causing me difficulty now?”

For example, you might be having difficulty with a new year’s resolution or spending too much time wishing things were different. The best time to let go of the past is when you really feel that you want to change and move forward in a different direction. As a rule, human beings have to be ready and willing before any kind of lasting healing can take place.

So, if you are joining us for one of our upcoming Past Life Regression Healing Circles, or if you are working with someone else on your own, it really pays to come up with an intention that genuinely motivates you.

Here is a quick little exercise using my Intuitive Learning Circles and Graphs to help you zero in on an intention that will most likely produce substantial results for you on your healing path.

Step One:

Look at the graph below and ask yourself:

“What is something that is happening in my life right now that I am ready to heal?”

Step Two:

“What will help me the most as I approach this issue?

Step Three:

“Am I genuinely ready and willing to let go of this issue? If not, why not?

Can I transcend my resistance?

If the answer is no, go through the process again with a different issue, until you find one that you are willing and ready to heal.

Your therapist really wants you to benefit as much as possible. Going through this simple exercise can help everyone achieve their goals.

Call us at (505) 271-4612 to reserve your space in our next healing circle or make a private appointment.

Get ready for the next Past Life Regression Circle in May!

Friday, May 7th, 2010 @ 7:00 PM

Exploring your past life experiences in a ceremonial healing circle can result in improved mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health. Sometimes these events are traumatic and are unconsciously carried over and relived in our present day experiences.

For example: A woman with mysterious and debilitating chronic dizziness uncovers a past life where she was hit in the head causing her death. Remembering these experiences in the safety of a past life regression brought the unconscious pattern into consciousness so that it could be healed.

A Past Life Regression Circle can optimize your healing by:
A) Clearing the physical and emotional stress out of the body.
B) Restoring the neurological system to a pattern of health.
C) Integrating the full meaning of the experience on a mental and emotional level.
D) Reconnecting with your Higher Self and finding peace with the spiritual purpose of your past life experiences.

One Birth Theory vs. Multiple Birth Theory

Reincarnation and karma explains the inequities found among individuals and groups.

In the religions that propose that people have one life, there is really no logical explanation as to why there is so much disparity between the lives of separate individuals. The question that perplexes many of us is simply this, why would the creator god decide that someone would have all the advantages of a fully endowed life (enough of the necessities of life and to be born being surrounded by the circumstances that would allow for the correct spiritual view) while others are not so fortunate. And, why would the creator god then decide that those who “do not comply” with the dogmas of that religion be damned to eternal punishment? One would have to decide that the creator god is quite capricious rather than the all knowing all loving being.

When you allow for the laws of cause and effect  believing that people experience what they caused others to experience sometime in the future, the inequities of life begin to make more sense. It is not an uncommon view that when someone performs an action, its effects are definite, so it doesn’t take a great leap of faith that when you think and/or do something, that a potentiality is planted in your mind. Under the right circumstances, that potentiality can ripen into an effect. Thus positive causes result in positive effects, and negative causes result in negative effects. If you were unkind in a past life, unkindness (under the right circumstances) can ripen and be present in a life. If you deprived people of necessities or their life, then those effects, under the right circumstances, can also ripen in the future.

No afterlife point of view vs. multiple birth theory

To believe that there is no afterlife what-so-ever, you would have to believe that our consciousness is centered in the body and that all minds are gross minds. Simply put, when the body dies, the mind dies and that’s it. It is a materialistic point of view meaning that your consciousness is based on your body.

We do know that all minds are not gross minds (dream minds tell us this), and we even know that the gross mind is not a solid entity. If the mind existed from its own side, it would never change. Our mind is dependent on many causes and is ever changing. We also know that all of our existence, including the existence of our mind, has always been a potential effect since the beginning of time, or it would not exist today. This is the same for our body and this current make-up of who we are is an effect from potentials begun many eons ago.

So, if this mind that we call “me” has been a potential, when we die, why wouldn’t it be a potential again? And, since it has already be a realized potential, what stops it from continuing on? Why then would our mind stop at death? There is no proof that anyone can point to that clearly demonstrates that the mind, our sense of self or our “I” is dependent on the body, but with the above reasoning, we can say that our body is rather dependent on the potentials and minds the preceded it.

Personal Proof

There is a myth that people who experience past life regression will see themselves as famous people. So we could have a bunch of Cleopatras, Churchills, Ty Cobbs, etc.  I am not to saying that I’ve never worked with anyone who hasn’t experienced being a famous person, but I will say that the vast majority of my clients usually experience difficult and hard circumstances which roughly equal what has been seen in human history. I have also seen studies that show the same tendency. I do not have that information handy as of this writing, but if anyone would like information about this, please do email me and I will happy to give you the citation for this and you can judge its validity on your own.

So this is why I believe in Past Lives and Reincarnation. It is my hope that this post will cause questions, strengthen your belief, or inspire you to look into the subject yourself.

Question:  Why, from his own point of view, and apart from general humanitarian considerations, should anyone care what happens in future incarnations, since, if I understand correctly, those will be different personalities?
Answer:

That’s a very interesting question.

The answers to this question is personal and philosophical, so please remember that my response would be different from other responses you might get on the subject.

So, this is why I care:

Consider that we do not have the same personality through this particular incarnation. Our personality at five years old is different from 10, 25, 50 and so on. Along the way, we made decisions and choices that have changed the direction in our lives, our life circumstances; like going to college so we can get a better education that results in an ability to make more money or work in a career that we are interested in, we marry a certain person (or more than one, or no one), decide to have children or not, save for retirement or not. All of our experiences change our personality and we often forget many of our earlier experiences as if they did not exist.

Our gross consciousness (awakened mind) subsides during death, just as it does during sleep. But once we are reborn, our gross consciousness reemerges again in physical life. But just as we cannot remember much from our infancy and early childhood, so we will not be able to remember much from this life. But it doesn’t mean that the gross mind that we cling to won’t experience our future life.

What does go with us when we die are the imprints of our past lives which is called karma which are stored in our unconscious mind and emerge when the conditions are right, much like planting seeds and watering them. So if we plant negative seeds, negative results will ripen for us, and if we plant positive seeds, positive results will ripen.

Now from my point of view, understanding karma is vital to assist us in creating our future. My personal belief is that there are no accidents when it comes to life circumstances. We experience what we have caused others to experience.  So, if you are a kind and helpful person, you will attract kind and helpful people to you in the future. You will also have the tendency to be kind and helpful in the future making it easier to perform kind acts. The opposite is also true, if you tend to do harm to other sentient beings, you will have that harm happen to in the future, not because some super-being is causing it, but because you ingrain those tendencies in your unconscious mind and create the potential for experiencing them. Whether you consider your life to be good or bad, every experience in it is a result of a past experience that you caused someone else to experience. To project this theory out, it is also logical to assume that what you cause another to experience in this life you will experience in a future life.

Finally, there is also the issue of enlightenment. We have the opportunity as human beings to get out of this endless cycle of birth, aging, sickness and death. A state of mind where suffering no longer has any relevance to us and from this place, we can assist all sentient beings our of this endless cycle (to the humanitarian aspect which to me is the most important part of the equation). Assisting people in having less suffering or eliminating it altogether is, from my point of view, the most important part of being human.

Thank you for your question.
