In the previous two articles, I gave you an introductory description on the increasing number of educated people who believed in reincarnation, and of how I became involved with past-life therapy starting from 1988.
I consider the knowledge, skills and experience I accumulated from past-life therapy sessions in the past 24 years as a gift. Because of this gift, I am able to help my clients transform their relationships with themselves and/or others when their other healing processes reached a plateau. The following is a good clinical example:
June, an attractive, intelligent, 32-year-old woman, came to me with symptoms of chronic fatigue, allergies, bloating and eating disorders. She also suffered from depression and low self-esteem because she was out of a job. When she experienced spurts of emotional eating, she often stuffed herself with foods containing sugar, dairy, wheat and yeast. During those binging episodes, she ate so fast and so much that her jaws and stomach hurt. After she was put on the anti-yeast nutritional program, she would still binge on healthy food from time to time. Portion-control was a serious problem for her. Knowing that she believed in reincarnation and that she had been meditating, I suggested past-life therapy be used as a technique to release some of her deep emotional issues. She was thrilled to try it.
After a deep breathing and induction procedure, the following was revealed: June “saw” herself as an old, female beggar in England during the 14th century. Most of her life she was starved. One time, there was a festival in the countryside. She sneaked into the crowd and stuffed food into her mouth as fast as she could for two reasons: she had been starved and she was afraid that people might ask her to leave as soon as they spotted her. She ate so fast that her jaws and her stomach hurt.
Through reprogramming, June was able to let go of the traumatic experience associated with food and allow positive images to stay with her. In the process of reprogramming, I suggested that she “see” herself formally invited to the festival and eating slowly with grace and moderation. She enjoyed the food and the event. She also enjoyed the abundance of resources. A few weeks after this past-life therapy session, she reported that she found a new job that was something she liked doing and also paid well. Also, her eating habits dramatically improved.
To account for her low self-esteem or not loving herself, a few more past life therapy sessions were rendered. She “saw” the following scene: A little girl was drawing an apple at a table. After she finished drawing, she colored the big apple purple. She liked it so much that she proudly showed it to her dad. To her surprise, her father shouted at her, “What in the world are you doing? Why did you color the apple purple? I have never seen a purple apple in my life!” His tone was that of ridicule. Tears were streaming down June’s face, but her father never noticed.
As a grown-up, although highly intelligent and competent, June did not think much of herself. She was always very hard on herself. She would criticize herself harshly before anyone else had a chance. This, of course, was rooted in her father being critical and non-supportive of her. During reprogramming, I suggested that she “see” a different picture when she presented a purple apple to her father.
Instead of ridiculing her, her father greeted her with a big smile and compliment, “What a beautiful apple! Purple! I’ve never seen such a beautiful apple in my life! You are so creative, my darling!” June proudly smiled and continued to draw more purple apples….
As you can see, past-life therapy is not only used to deal with traumatic experiences in previous lives, it is also used to reprogram unpleasant experiences in this lifetime. Whatever might come up during a therapy session, depends on what is significant to you subconsciously. The past-life therapist simply acts as a chauffeur. The chauffeur’s job is to ensure that you have a safe ride, but you are the one who decides where you want to go.
In the next article (the final article of this series), I will share with you tips on how you can prepare yourself for past-life therapy, and “unstick” and heal the seemingly stubborn physical, emotional and spiritual traumas. Stay tuned.
