The Client's Questions

Jenny, came to me 5 years after her partner, Mike, had passed away unexpectedly.

His death had come close to “breaking” her and had made her want to dive into spiritual topics. As she was trained as a medium, Jenny had been able to connect with Mike’s spirit and feel his presence from time to time. However, she was still trying to understand why they had come together only to be separated so suddenly .

Questions about their Soul connection, the lesson behind the experience of losing him, and how she could continue to learn from it were therefore front and center for her Life Between Lives session.

In addition, Jenny wanted clarity on her purpose and Soul’s talents, and how she could use them to help the collective. She had difficulty not feeling anxious about current world events and often struggled to feel safe living in a community that was not as spiritually open as she is.

Finally, she was hoping to understand the reason for her allergies and hypothyroidism , to which she had yet to find a relief.

Womb & Past Life Memories

We started the Life Between Lives session by revisiting a couple of joyful childhood memories, then I regressed Jenny back to her time as a fetus in the womb. There, she got to experience her Soul introducing itself to her body ; a “blending” that unfolded with deep love and tenderness.

She felt how excited her Soul was to come together with the baby’s body and how curious the baby was about the connection it was forming with the Soul. These sensations turned out to be important clues that would be expanded upon later in the session.

After the womb, Jenny went back to a past life as Lizzie, a young woman living with her mother and sisters. Eventually, Lizzie married a nice young man in her community and they had two children.

Their life wasn’t easy, though. The crops they were relying on for livelihood were struggling to grow, so food and money were scarce and the kids weren’t thriving. It was a “take it day by day” kind of life but, in the end, they managed to make it through.

Life Between Lives Regression

After taking her quickly through the death scene, Jenny described what it was like to return to her Soul state.

Me: “How does it feel to now be detached from the body?”

Client (now speaking as her Soul): “Expansive. My particles are moving beyond the boundaries of my body’s shape, spreading out and bouncing around, happy to be free!”

Shortly after, Jenny started noticing “concentrations of sparkly light” floating towards her; first, a couple, then, more and more. It was a joyful scene that she described as a “homecoming”.

In those lights, she began to recognize people from her current life and the Lizzie life and felt how happy they all were to see her. Among these greeting Souls was her partner , Mike.

Client: “The light that is closest to me is Mike. I can recognize his energy imprint and he showed me his human self to confirm that this is him.”

Me: “How does he greet you?”

Client: “Like a full body hug. Our sparkling energies are different from each other but are squished together!”

I allowed some time for Jenny to enjoy this sacred reunion, then we began exploring her Soul connection to Mike.

Me: “What is your greater purpose together across lifetimes?”

Client: “It’s an even grander scale than I can comprehend… It’s the power of the two becoming one, creating something far greater than themselves . I’m being shown two electrical currents. When they come together, [they generate] much more electricity and have more impact on everything around.”

Me: “And what is the Soul lesson in losing Mike in the life as Jenny?”

Client: “To understand that this electrical current we created is still within me and to be the strength of the two. To literally be a light.”

Jenny realized that her union with Mike was part of a conduit their Souls have been creating together across lifetimes. This conduit then funnels energy from the heavens down to Earth into her. She saw herself as a “sprinkler” spewing this love and light energy all around her.

She understood that not only is this tied to her purpose; it is also part of a much bigger picture that goes beyond this lifetime and beyond her and Mike.

Client: “There are some people on Earth who have a very strong conduit because of who they are. And there are some who have it because of experiences, like what I have experienced. I can see them all through the globe, all these conduits of light creating this exchange between heaven and Earth .”

Me: “What does this exchange of energy do through you as Jenny?”

Client: “I’m being shown my workplace, friends, family, conversations with acquaintances. What I am able to share with people now is much more impactful; it takes root deeper.”

Jenny learned she must keep this “waterfall” of energy open by not giving in to fears but, rather, leaning into her curiosity - that same curiosity she displayed as a baby in the womb. She can do so by continuing to learn and have spiritual experiences.

She must acknowledge that there are people who choose darkness and hurt. However, she saw how all the conduits of energy on Earth – herself included – are creating an ever-growing mesh of connection that is allowing spirit to send more love and light, bringing strength to humanity and making it easier to counter the darkness . That is what she must focus on.

Then, Jenny understood even more about her immortal bond with Mike. Their Souls work together to create things, each bringing unique skills to the process. Mike’s Soul does more of the beginning construction, while hers fine-tunes it. She acts like a “greenhouse” that gives things a place to germinate and grow stronger enough to thrive.

Me: “How does this relate to the work Jenny’s doing?”

Client: “She helps the people around her do better with where they are and what they have.”

This relates to her past life as Lizzie. There, Jenny’s Soul learned that a life doesn’t have to be easy for her to enjoy it . There will always be things outside her control. Being anxious and fearful won’t help. It is by being joyous that she can make more impact on what’s happening.

To end the journey, Jenny was shown that her allergies and hypothyroidism are helping her Soul love “an imperfect vessel”. They are also forcing her to not take her body for granted and, instead, listen to what it needs.

Session Takeaways

During our conversation after the session, Jenny reflected on some of the parts that had stood out the most.

She reiterated how much joy she had experienced in the womb, as her Soul was integrating with her body. “If I have moments where I’m frustrated with how my body is operating, I will be able to go back to that and reconnect with how much love and excitement my Soul had for this body.”

Jenny also noted how the Soul reunion with Mike had felt much more joyful and less overwhelming than the times when she had connected with his spirit through mediumship “because the Soul knows that that connection is always there .” Souls don’t carry the same emotional heaviness that is experienced in the human body.

Finally, it was both reassuring and empowering to realize how deep her Soul connection with Mike goes and how intertwined it is with both her life purpose and the bigger picture that’s unfolding for humanity.

As I always see with clients and the loved ones they lost, a beautiful design was put in place for Mike and Jenny’s lives .

By coming together, Mike, with his Soul’s constructing skills, helped Jenny build that energetic conduit that she is now using to be the “greenhouse” she’s meant to be. That conduit is making it possible for her to help many people thrive and make the best of what’s around them, which is part of her Soul’s talents.

The light force that their union produced still lives in her – with the same intensity - and they continue to create together…just in a different form .

The Message For Us

Jenny’s journey, like every client’s, is unique, yet very similar to others I have been honored to facilitate.

From the human standpoint, losing a loved one can make us feel irreparably broken. Yet, at the Soul level, the loss is often an initiation to bring more of our beautiful selves to the world .

Being able to understand why our Soul lovingly chose this experience for us can help us get there, while providing great comfort.

Feeling – first-hand, in Spirit – the eternal nature of our connections is a gift that opens us up to an even greater capacity to love. And the ripple effects of that expanded love often go much further than we can imagine.

A Poem For You and the World

It’s there...

in the cloudy eyes

of a 12-year-old child

who already believes

deep into his bones

that he’s not good enough

for this world...

as every spark of promise

drains out of his tissues

and he begins to live a

dissociated life.

The Wonder that he is

existing as a hologram

in the long, long shadow

of his self-doubt.

There for his taking,

yet so far out of his reach.

ENOUGH. ENOUGH!

It’s there...

taped to a wall

in the cubicles of our lives

forgotten

behind the post-its of all

the frivolous things

we worry about,

suffocated

under the rubber suit

of our critical minds.

It’s there...

in the unease

that wrinkles

the folds of our comforts

and spoils the taste

of the tried and true.

It’s there...

dancing in the air

that brushes our skin

in that space we view as

nothing,

trained, as we are,

to only see what we can trust

even if it shrivels our heart

down to a tiny mound of

rust.

ENOUGH. ENOUGH!

It’s there...

in the bouncy bubbles

of our wild ideas

burst

by the gravity of our fears.

It’s there...

in the nonsense of a people

who yearn to tame the stars

yet argue

all day long

about the labels to use

to keep themselves

small.

ENOUGH. ENOUGH!

It’s there...

in the stickiness of our tears,

in the filing cabinets of our dreams,

in the rabbit holes of distractions

where we go to lose ourselves.

It’s there...

when we feel we don’t belong,

when we do all we can

to disappear

into the crowd,

when we tell ourselves

that all we do is wrong.

Why won’t you see me?

Why can’t you hear?

The boundless potential

we ALL

carry within

holds us close with loving arms.

It never, ever leaves our side.

But a caged animal it is

and one that has been starved .

It’s simmering, it’s boiling

and now it’s rising up,

spilling out

through any way it finds;

as the shards

we spew at each other,

the blood that stains

our streets,

the faults that tear

the Earth apart.

Roaring for our attention,

destructive as it may seem,

so maybe

maybe

we can finally listen

to its sonar ping

syncing us back

to the wonders we all can be.

ENOUGH. ENOUGH.

Don’t you see what force it has?

Don’t you feel how much it wants you ?

Believe, please believe.

You are so much more than

you were made to think.

You are the sap that feeds the forests.

You are the particles of steel.

You are the echo in the flatlands.

You are the rainbow across clear skies.

You are the tree that grows on rocks

and the wispy Northern lights.

You are everything at once.

You are ALL that’s yet to exist.

And it’s all there waiting for you

in the heat map of your body

in the helixes of your genes

if you will just believe

what you cannot see.

So STOP.

JUST STOP.

It’s time for you to be

the cosmic Wonder

you came here to be.

Hypnotherapy FAQs

Thu, 02 Nov 2023 12:43:33 GMT

There are lots of misconceptions about hypnotherapy. I don't want them to keep you from trying it our and receiving the incredible benefits of it. So, let's dispel some myths and talk about what to expect.

Regression Hypnotherapy: What It Is and How It Works

Tue, 24 Oct 2023 19:54:31 GMT

In regression hypnotherapy, you “travel” back in time to past memories and experiences that can help you overcome present challenges.

There are two types of memories we can access in hypnotherapy:

Events that are at the root of our limiting beliefs and caused us to get stuck in self-defeating patterns.
Memories that help us tap into resources or inner strengths we possess but have disconnected from, which can assist us in the present.

Events At the Root of the Problem

These can be pivotal events we remember or seemingly insignificant events that we might have forgotten. Either way, they left an imprint that keeps affecting our lives , whether we are aware of it or not.

Emotional, psychological, and even physical issues can – in many cases - be traced back to past experiences, big or small as they may have been.

The symptoms of these imprints can be ever-present in our daily life or they can stay dormant for years and resurface when something else happens that triggers a subconscious remembering of the original event.

Again, this often takes place without us being consciously aware of these connections, which makes it difficult to resolve our issues - no matter how much we try or want to do it.

WHY THIS REGRESSION WORKS

In hypnotherapy, we allow the subconscious (and the superconscious, which is our Soul self) to take us back to the relevant memories. We then use several therapeutic techniques to release the trauma, beliefs, and negative emotional energies associated with them.

We get to see the experience through a higher – often spiritual - perspective , which is profoundly cathartic and healing.

I practice client-centered therapy , where you as the client choose how to proceed every step of the way and we only go as far as you are ready to go. This creates a very safe space for my clients to re-experience these key events and have meaningful breakthroughs.

It’s also important to understand that it is really your Soul (or Higher Self) that is guiding the session and your Soul always knows what’s best for you . I never tire to see the wisdom of the Soul at work!

Memories To Regain Inner Strengths

Contrary to popular belief, regression hypnotherapy doesn’t always mean revisiting unpleasant or traumatic past events. In fact, sometimes all we need is to access happy memories that can reconnect us to parts of ourselves we have lost along the way.

These can be inner resources, strengths, or positive perspectives we once held. They can be feelings we had forgotten we are capable of having. The richness and intensity of these feelings, as experienced in hypnosis, can be life changing.

For example, I had a client who was sensing her mind, body, and heart were not cooperating with each other. It caused her to feel drained all the time. At some point in the session, I asked her Soul if it was important to go back to when this problem originated, so we could heal it.

The Soul replied it would be more useful for my client to experience a time when she felt whole with mind, body, and heart working in unison. So, I regressed her there (trusting her Soul would know exactly where to take us) and, boy, what a joyful ride it was! Knowing that she has that ability within herself was essential for my client.

Types of Regression Hypnotherapy, Explained

Sun, 22 Oct 2023 20:23:06 GMT

There are 3 types of regressions that can happen in hypnotherapy.

Regression To Past Events In This Lifetime

This means going back to any experience in this life that is related to your present issues and needs healing.

Events big and small can subconsciously trigger emotional, psychological, behavioral patterns (and even physical ailments) that stay with us long after the event is over. We may think we have moved on from it while it’s still affecting us in ways we don’t even realize.

I practice client-centered therapy , which means we only revisit memories you are ready and open to resolve. Plus, sometimes all you may need to create a meaningful shift is to reconnect with happy memories ; the bright spots you have forgotten about.

I am an example of this. I don’t have any fond memories of my school years, as I never felt I fit in. It’s something I carried with me into adulthood, believing I don’t belong in many social contexts. Yet in one session, to my surprise, I regressed to a memory of playing with classmates during recess in middle school.

I was there, engaged, happy, and very much “part of the group.” I realized I had created a narrative for myself that wasn’t entirely true. It had caused me to draw a negative blanket over an entire period of my life which had then affected how I looked at all social situations!

Womb Regression

This means going back to your time as a fetus in the mother’s womb, after conception and before birth.

Is it really possible? Yes! And this type of regression is often a great source of important revelations.

We can understand how family dynamics impacted us before we were even born. We can heal the relationship with our mothers (if needed). We can sense how our Soul felt about being born in a certain context, or why it chose our particular body. We can gain insights on our life’s purpose and the challenges and lessons we came here to face.

Womb regressions can be most surprising and deeply spiritual. There are many ways we can dialogue with our Soul in hypnotherapy , and the womb is one of the places that can facilitate that.

Past Lives Regression

This implies going back to memories of lives you lived in other times and places.

Here’s a post where I discuss whether this means reincarnation is real.

For now, let's look at how past life regression works therapeutically .

Hypnotherapists have long seen evidence that – contrary to previous beliefs - many issues and blocks we experience pre-date childhood and this lifetime altogether.

Current life’s events seem to just re-awaken imprints (fears, phobias, emotional scars, and physical ailments) developed farther back in time, essentially presenting a new “opportunity” to break the pattern and let go of past baggage that’s limiting the expression of our full potential.

To heal these issues, it’s often necessary to work both at the past life level and on the correlated event(s) in the current lifetime.

In a past life regression we are able to get a spiritual understanding of the past life and, if needed, reconcile with the people in that life who hurt us (or were hurt by us). We get to see the silver lining in those experiences and come to look at them in a whole new light.

The shift in perspective is quite uplifting and amazing to witness!

How To Choose Which Regression To Have

The initial talk we have will give us a sense of which direction to take and help us come up with a plan for the session. After that, though, the mantra is: your Soul knows best. So, let’s trust that it knows which experience to take you back to.

This, too, is part of client-centered therapy. It ensures you receive the healing you need the most right now .

Past Lives Regression: Is It Real or Not?

Sun, 15 Oct 2023 20:44:16 GMT

Does past lives regression mean reincarnation is real? What if you don’t believe it? Couldn’t it just be made-up stories?

Perhaps you are intrigued by regression hypnotherapy and would like to see if it can help resolve an issue or pattern that keeps affecting your life. Yet, you are asking yourself the above questions.

First of all, my purpose is not to convince you to believe in reincarnation . Nor does it matter.

There are scientists and researchers keen on proving (and disproving) reincarnation. There are many books on past lives recollections that have been proven accurate (even providing details the recalling subjects couldn’t possibly have known unless they had lived that life). There are also many instances of past lives memories that didn’t hold up well to scrutiny.

Past Lives Regression Insights Based On My Experiences

Before I came to this work, I was one of those people who occasionally say, “ in a past life, I must have been …” In reality, I didn’t know what I believed. However, I would often wonder about the origin of some of my crippling fears, which seemed to defy logic and I couldn’t trace back to any particular triggering event in my life.

When I had my first regression, I was surprised by how much I felt I was the person in the past life . I was back in that body, with her thoughts, beliefs, insecurities. Details of the life came to me effortlessly, not as if I was imagining them but as if I just knew them. Emotions were raw and real.

I see the same thing with my clients. Some plunge quickly into the memories, recalling details and even using expressions that don’t belong to our times. On occasion, I’ve had to play catch-up because the client was talking as if I knew what life was like in the historic period and place they were reliving!

Yet, other times the regressions may feel more like journeys at the edge between reality and metaphor.

All sessions have one thing in common, though: they are effective in helping people understand the issues they are encountering in the present life , in letting go of stuck emotions, and gaining a new perspective.

And that’s the intent of the session.

The Purpose of Past Lives Regression in Hypnotherapy

The purpose of regression hypnotherapy is NOT to dig for historical or biographical information that might help confirm the veracity of the past life. In most cases, those details won’t even come up because they are not essential to your healing goal. The details you will become aware of are the ones that are connected to – and influencing – what’s happening to you right now.

At the end of the day, what matters is: How can the regression help you in the present life? Did you gain new insights you couldn’t have gotten in any other way? Did it create useful shifts in thoughts, emotions, beliefs? Did it cause physical pain to decrease or disappear? (this can happen, too, in some cases).

If so, what difference does it make if the past life is real or not?

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to know but, in my opinion, regression for healing beats regression for curiosity , any time .

Also, in regressions done solely for research purposes, the client might revisit what can look like a hard life with no tools or support to comprehend its greater meaning. A skilled hypnotherapist, on the other hand, will facilitate the regression so that, if painful memories arise, you experience them only to the extent that’s needed (and you are comfortable with) to understand their significance and release them safely .

This leaves you with a positive cathartic experience and an opportunity to close the door on what’s been holding you back .
