Tell me what your life was like before you died.

So I was in my 30s, and it seemed I had a very mainstream life before that, actually, and there were came to a time in my life where big changes were happening. My marriage split up, so I began soul searching. And in that soul searching phase, I became aware of my intuition, and also in that process, I became aware of past lives. I read Dr Brian Wise's book, many lives, many masters, and I thought everything clicked in. And I thought it sounds so cliche, but I thought, Oh, this is what I'm here to do. And from there, I became obsessed with making this happen. So I learned to do past lives. In fact, the lady who told me to read that book taught me, and I went on to train with Brian Weiss. And also people came for regression. They came. Who even knows where all these people came from, but they came, and I documented every case from the beginning, and so got a lot of them, and just took notice of what was happening in them. And it was healing things for them. Was very fascinating for me back in the day. But even before that, actually, before I started working with people, I had my own session, and that's the clincher for me, because I don't make stuff up or film myself. And I was on the couch with the lady who taught me having a session, and I could see these past lives in my mind, and they were moving almost like movies. And I could feel I felt like I was there. I felt like I knew what was going on in them. And most of all, they cleared the fears or that. They cleared the things that I asked to clear. And basically, you're guided into a relaxed state. I don't even call it hypnosis, actually, it's just you're guided into a relaxed state, usually with guided visualization, so meditative state. And what happens is the person starts to recall themselves at another time. So what happens is they usually will see it in their third eye. Not everyone sees, but most do, so they'll have feelings as well as in if they find themselves as a small child, then body might start to feel really small if they're just lying on the couch, but it's all the senses are working, all the six senses and the physical senses, so they're getting, usually seeing, feeling and knowing what's going on in there. And when it's facilitated, the facilitators prompting for them to respond. You can always respond, and so they'll relay back what's happening, and then the facilitators guiding them through, usually to achieve fixing something, or at least mine was for the therapeutic value in it. I believe that it comes directly from our soul. And when someone comes along for regression, or they do it themselves, I believe that their soul has kind of guided them to that point so that they have something revealed to them at that very moment in their lifetime that is going to help them for now. So although it comes from the soul energy, it's always what's given or presented to make this life here now better, to fix something, to heal something, even maybe just to help people realize that there's more. And it's we're not just here in life as a human, that our soul energy exists. So it has many facets of why it would come to help somebody, but yes, it comes directly from the soul, and I feel like that's why it's so effective. It's why it's so effective as a therapy, or even just for people to lose the fear of death and start to really embrace life and not worry so much about things that don't matter. Anyone can do it because we're all born of our soul energy and our soul prepared or we agreed what we're doing here, so we can all do it. There's some colleagues of of mine, even that are not fans of doing it yourself. But I, in my whole 20 years, it's completely fine to do it yourself. I think the thing with a facilitator is perhaps because your energies are together and it's and they know what to delve for to get to the bottom of a specific issue that you might have. And also you're not left with questions, because the facilitator will know exactly what to ask so that you get closure from it. So you can do that yourself as well. However, the facilitator is going to take any of that thinking away for you. But very often, people get into the past life and what's happened to cause their fear now, or their symptom now, is so simple, it's so simple and it's so ordinary that we are never if someone's. Coming for a certain symptom. I never suggest what it could be, because often it's something that was so ordinary or normal that happened that caused it, but certainly with the fires and things, those are not really normal things to experience, but a lot of it happens. If people have a fear of fire or heights or flying, any of those things, something pretty wild will have happened for it to be such a fear. So scars or birthmarks, even they, we will always be able to trace them back to and usually it's an injury from a past life. So certainly, with the scars, they may maybe don't even have to have a scar. It might just be that they have shoulder problems and Western medicine or X rays and things cannot detect anything. So it's this mystery physical symptom that's when it's like that's from a past life. And you go along and you see potentially something brutal, but you see it detached. By the way, it's not scary to see what happened, but it fixes it, almost like this self awareness my favorite side effect of past lives. I think what it does is it helps them, aside from clearing fears or phobias or physical symptoms, it helps them understand themselves. So if we look at emotionally what it does, they'll often see a past life that is similar, or certainly it invokes the same emotions in them that they're feeling now or experiencing now. Let's think about a relationship that's trouble for them gives them trouble so they'll find out what happened then, what the cause of it was and somehow it really gives them this deep understanding. And hence, when they understand themselves and why things are happening, it gives them big self awareness. And also, of course, what we know is self awareness is it takes the it takes away blaming other people. So no matter what you see in the past life, let's say someone's got a hard relationship, and they might see themselves even potentially, with the same person, but in a different maybe different dynamics, even maybe the opposite sexes, but they see it, and then they can understand why the dynamics are the way they are now by what happened before. And it's the awareness from that. You can't go back from it. It's just amazing. So I think one of the things, I call it the unpopular truths, or one of them about incarnating, is that people feel like they're off path. Oh, I've gone off path. And that's because life got tough. It didn't go the way that you wanted, or it's and the natural thing is we did the wrong thing. That's how come we ended up over there. But actually, the experience of life, it's not a bed of roses and it's not a straight path. It's two the wiggles in that path are destined. And I think realizing that you didn't go off par, but it was part of the the journey, if you like, is it's actually liberating, because in one way, what you're doing when you say you've gone off path is you're blaming yourself. I'm so bad, I'm so silly. I did the wrong thing. But it's like, no, no, you didn't it was you were to have that experience. And I think so many terrible things happen that when they happen, people can't perceive that that could possibly be planned, or that one would agree to it, so you can understand where the resistance for that they didn't go off path, and that it was actually meant to happen is hard to take, but it's truly part of it. And I think the other thing that people like to tell themselves is this person went off path, and it's because they don't like where they went. For example, someone left them and they love them so much. And it's like, it's so much easier to say, well, they've gone off path, but they didn't. It's all we always have to bring it back to why, why did our life go there? And to be honest, it doesn't come to you like that until you're back usually. So Hindsight is the big, hard Bringer, oh, that's when we go, oh, okay, I get why, why I ended up there and had to, you know, ramble back. So the way I see in between lives is the space where we're preparing to incarnate. So when people describe it there, there's human elements to it, because we're talking about choosing. But really, beyond that space, we don't have a mind, so there is no choice. It's just this beautiful everything and nothing. But in the in between space, there's some interaction. Sometimes you see it as human like, and sometimes it's more, much more energetic color, for example. And but what happens there is, we're deciding what we're doing. You know, we all when we go back as now, if we go back for a visit in between, we'll find out when. Why we planned what we're doing now, why we have these circumstances, and what the purpose of them was. So all of the information for what we're doing here, what we've done before, and even what we'll be doing in the future, is accessible there. So it's quite the it's such a liberating and beautiful experience to get that information, because it surpasses anything that our mind could perceive. Gives us a different perception, and it's something you can't really explain without having the experience. Can't quite articulate it as it feels to be our life is it has a blueprint, and you don't even have to go between actually, to access the blueprint. There are ways that we can do that. In fact, it was one of the big bodies of work that I did from knowing that we have a blueprint and how to access it. So I made that part of my psychology. It's called Life map. But essentially you can't, because it is predestined before we're born, of course, we we can access it. It's why psychics can see what's happening or read into us, read our aura and tell us about our attributes and our characteristics, these kinds of things. So when we access it, it makes our lives make sense. It makes us make sense. It makes us more comfortable with who we are and even with our insecurities, everything is destined. Everything is blueprinted that we do hear, that we experience. For me, living a fulfilled life is finding what resonates with you and working with that, not fighting yourself and doing things that make you feel good, so whether touch, tastes, sound, do those things. I feel like life is such a blessing to enjoy the aspects of it that are good, are really good. Do what it takes to make you happy and or bring you joy, I suppose, because ultimately, contentment is the ultimate space that we can be in most of the time, be yourself and realize that you don't know what that means until you are but to be yourself is the most powerful thing, I believe, on the planet that we can do for ourselves, and it can take a lot to get to that stage. And part of my journey of self awareness is coming back to being myself all the time, the collective that we are all part of collective energy to experience emotion.
