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.

Kuan Yin’s Intuitive Learning Game for Change

The key to remaining positive in very negative times is to remember the bottom line – that you are a being of love. Sometimes we forget and allow the prevailing patterns of fear or hatred influence us. One of the main ways that this happens is through confusion.

Did you know that a person who is stuck in confusion is probably under the influence of karmic patterns of abuse? Some of them are about individual karma, however, most of these patterns are collective. In other words, we are all affected by them in one way or another. The game below is made up of Intuitive Learning Circles and is intended to help you disentangle yourself from some of those collective ties. Simply go through the game by answering pertinent questions that will activate your heart wisdom and give you a new perspective.

Shifting Negative Collective Patterns Into Positive Relationships

The question that Kuan Yin would like you to consider as you play the game is:

“In what aspect of my life am I experiencing confusion or fear?”

Use the answer that comes to you as the basis for the game so that you can disengage from the confusion and release your fears very quickly. If there is more than one situation causing you to be angry or fearful, go ahead and play the game again specifically for each situation.

The best way to take the energy out of a negative pattern is to stop feeding it, and that is exactly what this game will help you to do.

How to Play:

Simply look at the images and circles below while you ponder the statements or questions that go with them. Looking at the symbols will help you to go within and access new energy and clarity. What you do with the information you come up with is up to you!

1. To begin, look at this symbol and repeat to yourself several times:

“I am ready, willing and able to shift my perception from negative to positive.”

2. While looking at this circle, think of an aspect of your life that is troubling you. Ask your heart:

“What doesn’t seem right about my current relationship with other people?” or “When is it that I feel abused?”

3. Notice how this situation agitates you. Breathe a few times and allow this circle to calm you down and help you to see more clearly.

4. Use this circle to really tune into your heart. You can do this by focusing your attention on your actual, physical heart. Once you feel a connection, ask for help from your Soul resources.

5. Use this symbol to help you dissolve any feelings of agitation, anger, or fear that you might be feeling right now. You can imagine those negative feelings as black smoke that dissipates into a clear blue sky.

6. What are you afraid might happen? Make a list so that you can get it out of your mind and see it on a piece of paper. Be sure to take your time with this.

7. Imagine that you are in a room where everyone is fighting and throwing curses at each other. Use this symbol to dissolve the scene in your mind completely.

8. Do you believe that you are at fault at all? Do you believe that other people want to hurt you?

9. If so, imagine that you are in a courtroom, complete with judge, jury and executioner. Use this symbol to completely dissolve the scene.

10. Do you feel as though someone or something is manipulating you or trying to make you do something that you don’t want to do?

11. If so, isn’t it time that you stopped buying into the fear? Use this symbol to dissolve any conscious or unconscious contract you may have to buy into fear, anger and abuse. Imagine there is a whole stack of them and they are simply being reduced to ashes by fire.

12. Finally, make a firm decision that you are done with this abuse. With this symbol, clearly see the door that leads to this confusing place closing forever.

Now that the door has been closed, take some time to rest and nurture yourself. Take a walk or spend time in nature. Be prepared to allow yourself to receive the blessings that come from leaving the past behind.

SPIRITUAL HEALING In The NEW MILLENNIUM.

If you have grown up as a victim of any kind of abuse, you know that it can affect your current relationships in every way imaginable – physically, mentally, emotionally and even on a spiritual level. You may be over-ridden with feelings of guilt, fear or distrust. Because of your feelings of powerlessness, you may feel that you need to strike back or maintain a hyper-vigilant desire to control everything. This is a natural reaction, however, it isn’t very helpful for creating a happier life.

Releasing Yourself from the Cycle of Abuse

One of the biggest problems involved in abuse is being chronically stuck in the past or having an unhealthy attachment to the very people who may have caused the most harm. Psychology calls it enmeshment and that’s a pretty good description of what it’s like. Through the relationship of victim/perpetrator, each person becomes so karmically entwined with the other that it’s really hard to determine where one person leaves off and the other begins. If you are a person who subscribes to the idea of reincarnation and past lives, the victim/perpetrator relationship takes on new meaning.

Karma is simply the Law of Cause and Effect. What one puts out, will come back to them sooner or later. Sometimes it comes back in this lifetime, however, many times the effects don’t come back until some future life. This explains why it is so important to find other ways to respond rather than striking back at those who abuse us. It may feel good in the moment, yet a seed has been sown that will bring that suffering back to us sometime in the future.

In this Intuitive Learning meditation, you will go through a simple process that could help you to break the cycle of abuse so that all the feelings of anger, fear and suffering can become a thing of the past. Like our other meditations and self-hypnosis formulas, we are using the Intuitive Learning Circles from Soul Prayer Charts and Gifts from the Rainforest.

These workbooks are part of a special self-realization package called “Spiritual Healing for the New Millennium.”

Step One – Abandoning The Cycle of Abuse – The Cause of Present and Future Unhappiness

Directions: Get out a piece of paper and a pen and set aside about 20 minutes to go through this exercise.

#1.

Take several deep breaths as you gaze softly at this first circle.

Think about your family of origin. What does your body feel like?

For instance, does it feel heavy, tight, numb,  etc?

How would you describe your mental/emotional mindset?

Would you say it is sad, angry, depressed, anxious, or something else?

Make a note of what you notice on your piece of paper.

#2.

This circle helps people release things that are causing them great irritation. As you look at it, stay relaxed. Cross your legs and ask yourself this question:

“What are some of the beliefs I have about myself that are clearly negative and harmful to my peace of mind?

Write them down so that you can get them out of your head and on paper where you can see them for what they really are. Just keep writing until you’ve gotten all the thoughts out of your mind, no matter how irrational or upsetting they might seem.

Repeat with your legs uncrossed. Remember that looking at each circle with legs crossed and uncrossed will deepen the healing experience.

Here are some more questions that might dig up more of those sneakier irritations. Fill in the blanks with answers that come while looking at the circle:

“I’m always concerned that ____________ will happen.”

“I’m afraid that ______________.”

“I can’t ____________.”

#3.

“I can’t stop thinking about _______________.”

#4.

Once you’re done writing things down, look at the Sun Circle and breathe deeply to bring strength and connection to your spirit back into your heart.

“I fill my heart with the strength and protection of my Higher Self.”

#5.

Continue breathing and look at this Soul Chart for several minutes:

“I bring clarity and personal power back into my mind and body.”

#6.

Because of the abuse, your essence has gotten lost in a dark place. Bring it back by breathing, looking at the symbol and feeling the soft area between your ribs – the solar plexus. Imagine that you are calling back your essence like a child coming back home from being outside.

“I call all parts of my soul and essence back home to my center where they can be safe again.”

#7.

Imagine that you are in a very safe place where you are comfortable and feel completely protected. Let yourself imagine it in every detail.

#8.

Gaze softly at this circle while you keep breathing and feel your body relax:

“I am home, where I belong and I’m filled with light, healing and love.”

It might help to move around and stretch your body. Go ahead and take a few moments to do that if you want.

#9.
Use this next circle to help you disentangle yourself from any other person or soul, now or in the past. Remember to stay calm, using anger or fear will not allow you to release the enmeshment.

“I send you back to where you belong. Our time together is finished.”

#10.

Now imagine that you are removing any marks or karmic imprints from your energy field that come from violence, abuse or neglect. Imagine that your Higher Self is cleaning you up until you are bright and shiny.

“I am free from the past. I am in alignment with my Soul”

Don’t stop until you feel complete and much more at ease.

Notice how you are feeling now. Do you feel better than you did when you started the meditation?

If you do, Congratulations!

I would suggest that you go through this meditation any time you feel like you are caught up by or enmeshed with anyone you know – family, friends, partners, bosses – anyone you feel an unusual and negative attraction to.

Here at the Institute for Hypnosis and Past Life Regression Therapy, we have developed many types of processes designed to clear personal and collective karma that are drawn from various energy flow principles, including those of feng shui. In this healing exercise, we will use a classic feng shui problem as a model to demonstrate and clear the collective karma around bankruptcy.

This picture represents a house with a serious energy flow problem. If you look carefully, you can see that the stairs leading up to the second floor are positioned very unfortunately right in line with the front door.

Why is this a problem?

Because the chi’ or positive energy flow for prosperity all runs right out the front door, causing severe financial stress on those who live there. People who live in houses with this kind of floor plan often experience continuous exhaustion, bankruptcy and loss.

3 Step Process to Remove the Karmic Imprints of Bankruptcy and Loss

Step 1

While looking at this Intuitive Learning Circle, think of a time when you were afraid of running out of money. Let the energy of the chart slow you down and help you to release fixations and tensions.

Step 2

Look again at the feng shui blueprint above that represents bankruptcy and loss. Now use this symbol to dissolve the image in your mind until there is nothing left but clear space.

Once you have done that, imagine that there is the same blueprint for all your friends, family and community members and that they are laid out in row upon row, reaching out as far as the eye can see. You realize that everyone is being affected by this blueprint in one way or the other.

Remember to include your pets and others animals. They have souls and karma too.

You think to yourself, “Everyone is suffering because of this pattern. I can’t bear to see so much suffering. I will dissolve this blueprint in my own mind at least for the sake of everyone I know and care about.”

Then you use the symbol to dissolve the whole scene.

Step 3

Imagine that you can gather all the karmic imprints for bankruptcy, loss and physical exhaustion from all your past lives as if they were seeds sitting in a storehouse. Use this symbol to send the whole storehouse up to the Sun for purification.

Once you are finished, use this same symbol to plant the seeds in your heart for peaceful, balanced prosperity and good health.

Now imagine that you are turning to face the Sun, ready to embrace your life.

Congratulations!

You have reduced your karmic potential for bankruptcy and given yourself the gift of greater peace of mind. If you know someone who could use this process, send them a link.

SPIRITUAL HEALING In The NEW MILLENNIUM.

Unfortunately, it can be difficult to release negative karma and accomplish a peaceful and productive mind when agreements from past lives are still being held in your mental continuum. How does that happen?

Let’s say that you are working on an important project and you find yourself at a crossroad where you must make a decision between taking one path or another.  In order to make the best decision, you will want to be present and certain that you have the clarity of mind to do what is in your best interests now, rather than basing your decision on old habits or negative conditioning from the past.

Realize that those habits and conditioning all began with an agreement of some kind. For example, if you tend to sabotage yourself by over-indulging in eating or drinking alcohol, you are unconsciously responding to some kind of agreement or firm decision that you have made in the past. It could be from this lifetime, more often, however, that agreement was most likely planted in your mental continuum during a past life experience and you are now living (or re-living) the karma.

In order to properly nourish yourself and break out of the karmic pattern, it is very helpful to release those old unconscious decisions and replace them with constructive ones that will support you in making choices that are in your best interests today.

Let’s use the example of compassion. It is widely accepted in all true spiritual paths that compassion will guide us away from suffering and lead us to liberation or enlightenment. We can release our agreements to continue following paths that lead us away from compassion.

We can do that right now with the assistance of this symbol that accesses our akashic records or soul contracts.

Simply look at the symbol below with a soft gaze and imagine that you are burning up any contracts or agreements from the past that are preventing you from being compassionate:

“I let go of being unmerciful towards myself or anyone else.”

“I release ideas from my mental continuum that would create terror in my mind or in the mind of anyone else.”

“I recommit to nourishing compassion for all beings, including myself.”

If you like, you can contemplate the specific behavior patterns that are causing you problems and release your agreement to continue following them now.

Even though you may not consciously remember what the past life was or what the exact karma is, this process will help it begin to unravel and release it’s grip on your current behavior.
