Healing Past & Present Life Traumas

Lecture Based Questions:

1. Draw or describe a reminder or symbol of one of your helpers.

You have hundreds of helpers--angels, teacher, guides, friends, ancestors, and nature spirits. Choose one now, meditate on how she or he has helped you and write down your impressions.

2. Do we repeat past-life traumas in our present lives?

Yes it is possible to repeat the same type of incident over several lifetimes.

Why?

Any intense experience creates a mark on the Astral Body, which has a tendency to hold onto its current state. In other words, trauma becomes a habitual condition. If someone dies violently but suddenly, there is no opportunity for the experience to register on the Astral Body, and therefore it does not become a traumatic attachment.

3. How does the wounding-healing process benefit us?

1) We pay off negative karma-energy debts when we suffer.

2) Also, we accumulate personal power this way.

3) In the shamanistic sense, you become an effective healer through experiencing the injury or illness and finding your way to recovery. This applies specifically to each individual journey of trauma and wholeness.

4. How do traumas interact with the Astral Body?

All the lower bodies (Mental, Astral, Etheric, Physical) tend to assimilate negative experiences easily into their structures. They resist positive changes. This is because the nature of their atomic structures, which are inclined to point downward. The healing process requires the intention to live. Fear of trauma or illness creates a vortex of attraction which helps to manifest the dreaded incident.

5. How do traumas interact with the Mental Body?

When you experience trauma, your reaction creates a thought form in your Mental aura. The Mental Body doesn’t take on wounds like the Astral Body does. Instead, it bears these archetypes of memory and belief in the aura. What you believe is what you receive, and so to maintain these archetypes is to repeat the tragedy.

6. Are all emotional issues stored in points in the physical body?

Yes. Every meridian point is related to a specific emotional topic. This means that even our freckles and moles have significance! Where we receive injury is a good place to begin our Astral healing.

•collarbone & shoulders—bearing responsibility & worry.

•thighs—repressed fear.

•calf & Achilles tendon—patience.

•lower back—flexibility & simplicity.

•knees—responsibility/compulsiveness.

•ankles—strength of focus and resolve.

7. What are the five elements of permanent healing?

1) recognition of wound or illness—see which parts of the body or which aspects of life need improving. Also, look at the last incident you felt rage or panic. Trace your trail of broken dreams and look for the pattern. Pain is the result of an emotional contract. This can be voided.

2) resolve to heal—make an emotional contract to change your life for the better. Thank your Healing Angel for helping you with the specific solution you face.

3) apply remedy—don’t be your own doctor, as you are blinded by your own neurosis. You need to ask others for help (not necessarily incarnated people). All who serve Light will be glad to lend a hand, but they need to be invited. The Light will never heal you against your will. An energy healer can relieve the physical symptoms while you pray for spiritual healing. Your personal Healing Angel needs you to ask for help with as specifically detailed requests as possible.

4) observe healing rhythm—this has a wave pattern. The physical body begins after the lowest day with one good day, three bad days, two good days, two bad days, three good days, one bad day, four good days, one bad day, etc. The Astral Body has a different pattern. First a burst of enthusiasm is followed by depression, followed by more ups and downs until a levelness is reached. It hurts to persevere through the low time, but this is what builds personal power. Keep affirming even though you don’t feel like it.

5) prevent reoccurrence—pray for enlightenment without suffering in regard to your current problem. Ask for healing of the emotional cause and for wisdom. For example, arthritis indicates crystallized thought patterns. Say, “Thank you, Healing Angel, for healing this joint and all its related organs and systems.”

8. What role does your personal Healing Angel play in this process?

She is waiting by the spiritual telephone and hoping you will call her. When asked, her work is nearly instantaneous. The more exact your request, the better your results will be. Visualize her sending in a shower of golden Light, flushing out all negativity, doubt, criticism, and fear from your being and keeping everything stabile and healthy.

9. How does an energy healer or a clairvoyant use empathetic connection to locate and treat a condition?

The healer can phase Astral Bodies, which mimics the pains of the patient onto the body of the healer. This helps to guide her/him where to concentrate the attention. Cables of relationship usually attach themselves at an unconscious level between client and worker. These should be severed at the end of the session.

10. Meditation Exercise: Separate, Objectify, and Ameliorate

Because strong emotional responses create astral static, they interfere with Light receptivity and thereby hinder the quality of life. You or someone in your karmic sphere has an emotional storm that controls choices (consciously or unconsciously). Here we create the conditions for emotional freedom.

• Invoke the Spirit of Truth and Wisdom to guide you to the precise answer that you need and with correct attitude.

• For yourself—pinpoint the last occasion when you felt rage or panic.

For a loved one—follow the trail of broken dreams and pinpoint the consistent choice that permeates the pattern.

• Understand that this emotion is obstructing your (or loved one’s) heart’s desire.

• Imagine this emotion taking the shape of a tiny cable car. Hold it in your hand. This is the vehicle that leads you to the answer.

• Envision a sparkling, golden cable running from your heart chakra upward and disappearing into brightness above you. This is your connection to your Mental Body.

• Set the cable car onto the golden cable. Make yourself tiny and hop into the car. It rises swiftly up the beautiful cable into Light.

• You and your cable car arrive in the center of a picturesque town center. Beautiful tall people in blue robes help you out of the car and lead you to a huge painting. It is a painting of you as you perceived yourself during the emotional upheaval. Are you in bondage, in danger, or in some other setting?

• A very distinguished person says to you, “This is a wishing portrait. The more wishes you make, the more magnificent it becomes. By wishing, you alter the portrait and your future.”

• Make your wishes now. Change the setting of the portrait so that you are free, in charge, and safe.

• Turn back and look at the cable car. It has also transformed. It has become like Pegasus—a winged horse, bright and strong and free. It walks up to you and says, “When I controlled you, I was your weakness. When you control me then I am your strength.”

• You climb on its back, and together you fly very high in the air. The lovely little town gleams with beautiful lights and colors. Then you fly down, down, and as you descend, the winged horse becomes smaller and smaller until it fits in your heart chakra.

• Sitting quietly, you can feel the power of the winged horse in your heart chakra.

If It Shrinks Your Weenie, Let It Go

At the explosion of strong negative energy, all the chakras pull inward, reducing the inflow of Light to the aura and the being. Related physical reactions are palpitations, a sensation of constriction, or allergic response. Physical symptoms aside, adverse emotions also create lesions in the Astral Body. These wounds perpetrate the emotional cycle of negative discharge and self hurt. How do we disconnect the circuit that sometimes lasts through lifetimes of trauma, attraction, reenactment, and reaction?

When the body perceives discomfort, it naturally attempts to avoid it. This is a healthy response in wild and primitive conditions for the preservation of life and limb. Nowadays, our society makes new rules for behavior necessary. Our modern discomfort is not usually life-threatening. It will normally be a social or time-related stress. Modern technology has made even physically dangerous activities almost safe and certainly more comfy.

Torture, illness, accident, injustice, and frustration serve several accomplishments. They expend negative karmic debt. They accumulate personal power, and thus lay the foundation for initiation. They imbue us with the ability to aid and heal others in the same position. Although these are unpleasant experiences, there are certain attitudes that we can adopt to make them more smooth and to avoid more problems later on. Resistance increases pain, frustration, and wastes personal power. The correct approach is without reaction, in constant listening mode [to the Guardian Angel], and with an eye for finding pleasure where it can be had. The positive attitude reduces roughness in the day and creates pockets of respite. Also, it renews the physical body with a relaxed vibration and an interested expectation.

We have died hundreds of times and hundreds of ways. We will die hundreds of more times and ways. You are not your experiences, but rather they are the flavor and color that makes you interesting, compassionate, strong, and mature. Let not the intensity of such past moments dry up the sweet possibilities of the present. Falling, drowning, violence, and painful illness can leave lasting marks on the Astral psyche. Since we manifest what we focus on, we can possibly set the stage for repeating in some way those episodes that have traumatized us. Not only that, but these feelings also reside in certain nerve plexi in the physical body. If we cannot separate our identities from these feelings, then they accumulate energy to manifest a disease or injury. Be patient and gradual when trying to overcome a phobia or an obsession. Take small daily actions that affirm the success of your separation. Recruit energy healers to give you temporary relief as you continue to strengthen your inner power. Each step you take toward freedom will give you increased joy, confidence, capacity, and triumph.

A golden flower for your eyes, ears, and mouth

That you may taste the world with blessing.

A golden flower for your heart, hands, and feet

That you may walk through halls of wonder and beauty.

A golden flower for each point on your spine

That you may float easilythrough life without suffering.

Be brave. Your family and I are always with you.
