I had a wonderful regression session with Jaclyn. Jaclyn is a life coach and she writes a really great blog on her path of growth and transformation. Here is what Jaclyn wrote about our session, the past lives she saw and the guidance she received from her Higher Self.
I did a past life regression with Rethnea on Sunday. It was very cool. It’s very similar to visual (intuitive) meditation except you’re answering questions about yourself and not someone else. You can check Rethnea out on her blog. She’s warmth, generosity and peace all wrapped in one delightful package.
I saw glimpses of 3 past lives.
In the first I was a cavewoman. My cave was on the side of a mountain next to an ocean. It had and entrance made of 2 long stones (top to bottom) standing on either side of the entrance and one on the top like a hood. There was an ocean at the bottom and when I went up to it to look at myself I saw I had an average build, long dark hair, bare feet, brown clothes and was kind of dirty. Then we fast forwarded to dinner time where I saw I had a husband (a big burly guy) and 2 young children, a boy and a girl. We often ate meat. I wasn’t very satisfied with my life and seemed to just be getting by, settling for how things were although I wasn’t really happy. We fast forwarded to the next significant thing that happened where I saw that I was chased down and murdered by a man, being stabbed in the back with a sharp object. I wasn’t clear on why.
In the second life I was a princess in either India or Egypt – at first I thought Egypt but once I was there I thought it was India. I first saw myself walking through a bustling village and people stopped when they saw me. I felt a lot of love and compassion for them. I was maybe in my late teens and had long dark hair pulled back wearing a headpiece that come to a point between my eyebrows and a purple garment that wrapped around me. We fast forwarded and I next saw myself living in an ornate palace with my father and younger sister (who I believe was my older sister Jen) – it seemed somewhat solemn in the scene I saw. (This is extra interesting because afterward when I shared this with my sister she said she’s been told be two different psychics that she has been a Indian princess and a Egyptian priestess in past lives! They say you frequently reincarnate with the same group of souls although they may exist in a different relationship to you.) There may have been more family but those are all I saw. I had the sense that my mother had passed away after my sister was born. Fast forwarding, I was forced to marry (or be with – I wasn’t clear on whether or not we were actually married or not) a man I didn’t know or love who was very aggressive and cruel and I was really despondent about it. I had 2 children with him, both girls. He abused me and treated both me & the girls with indifference most of the time. When the girls were older he sexually abused them. I found this out when I noticed they seemed upset and quiet – slouched over a bit. I tried to run away with them but didn’t escape and was brought back. I was raped and strangled to death by him.
What I learned from this was that in both these lives, I settled for relationships as they were, even though I was unhappy with them. I just got by and put up with it. I learned that if I’m unhappy in a situation to not just stay there and to follow my instincts and my heart. To not worry about the rules and whatever circumstances seem to be present, but instead to pursue whatever my heart yearns for and have conviction in that it will work out. But also to create joy or satisfaction no matter what my circumstances are. Each lifetime ended violently which I wasn’t asked to look into but I think it speaks to why I’ve always been afraid of men taking advantage of me and not trusting them.
In the third, which I had just a brief look into it, I was a young boy (maybe 6 or 7) being picked on by other children and they threw sand in my face. This was what I saw when we looked into the root of my habitually itchy eyes. The lesson to learn here is that I let myself be affected by what others thought of me too much when it really only matters what I think of me and that I know myself as great.
Messages from my highest self:
I learned that I procrastinate in order to avoid feeling like I’ll be stuck with something if it works out. Which is a waste of energy because I can always change things and take on new ventures whenever I want if I want. I spend so much time avoiding doing things that would move me forward because I fear that I’ll end up stuck in a situation that feels like I’m settling or putting up with however things are. Basically I straddle between the ’settling for’ and the ‘never settle for’ by sticking with things I know no longer serve me for longer than necessary while on the other hand (and sometimes simultaneously) jumping from idea to idea, venture to venture, relationship to relationship in order to not get trapped. What I see I need to take on now is finding middle ground where I can commit to something and allow it to continually evolve into whatever serves me best.
I need to learn trust and compassion. I need to listen to and follow my intuition instead of ignoring it. Noticing when I have doubt or a nagging that something isn’t right for me and actually taking it seriously. At the same time I need to learn to trust both myself and others.
Once persistent message was that everything I need is within. Love is within. I need to love myself completely and fully and allow it to flow forth from me to others. I also need to learn patience. I need to love and have compassion for people no matter what because everyone else is the same as me.
I have to remind myself of why I fell in love with things in the first place and to CHOOSE joy as my predominate experience. I got that I should meditate every morning when I wake up to practice being with stillness and that I could also meditate on a particular way of being like peace or joy or love. (This will help me sleep better as I sometimes still have trouble as would having more regular sleeping hours). I also got that I should write my book every day for at least an hour.
It was definitely a cool experience. I’ll have to let you know what comes of it.
