I was browsing the internet and came across a site and read a paragraph that sent shivers down my spine. The paragraph by Patricia L Walsh read:

Our past life selves are not only characters in past dramas, but they also live within us today as ‘sub-personalities’. Their ‘unfinished business’ can make itself known through irrational fears, phobias or patterns that are not easily changed. We feel their emotions; manifest their talents; think their thoughts; are limited by their fears and perpetuate their quandaries often without consciously knowing we are doing so. These are the karmic complexes that are carried forward and re-imprinted in each lifetime essentially causing us to ‘pick up’ where we left off.

Well that small paragraph took me to a whole new deeper level of understanding. I know for sure that I came into this life with a whole lot more neuroses than I needed to. It was as if I hit the ground running with baggage. A lot more fears and phobias than was comfortable.

I felt the truth in this explanation that my unfinished business was playing out as sub-personalities. Of course we have genetics factoring in, and also our ancestral memories, but knowing that our past lives are still playing out actively in our subconscious is another level of power in being able to heal the past.

That I can deal with.

One of the key factors in healing this unfinished business from the past is to find out whether you have learnt the lesson. Intention is everything with healing. So set your intention to find out what the lesson is. You may like to sit quietly and see what comes up. Perhaps use a pendulum asking yourself questions. Or muscle test. You can use soul healing or theta healing or guided meditation to do this as well.

Often times karma is carried through lives when it’s finished already and we have paid our dues. At a soul level we hang onto our karmic lessons in case they come up again and we are unprepared for them. But we don’t need to do this anymore. We can clear this energy and let it go.

Some people have an abortion and move on with their lives.

Other people have an abortion and it causes such a huge healing crisis, be it conscious or shoved into their unconscious. The only problem with that is it will express itself in a number of ways. Via depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder and a host of other physical and emotional problems.

Such was the case for me after I had an abortion 7 years ago.

Abortion for me solved one problem. But created a whole nother can of worms. But I suspect there’s worms were there anyway and were just more visible now that I had a reason to delve deeper, deeper than I had ever gone before.

I spent 7 years on a journey to work through the after-effects of abortion. I wanted to just get on with my life, just move on but parts of my psyche felt differently. Nothing in my life had affected me as much, or as deeply, as the recovery after the abortion but it was a mystery to me why.

I had tried so many different kinds of therapies and still I had symptoms. I had depression, anxiety, I tended to feel anti social, I had guilt and a sense of self punishment.

It didn’t matter what my head said, or that I understood my reasoning behind it, at a deeper level I was suffering and for the life of me I couldn’t understand why. Why it lingered. Why I had flashbacks and emotionally relived that short procedure.

After being in denial and on antidepressants for a few years, I decided to tackle it anyway I could. I tried EFT, I had mediumship readings, I had therapy, I read quite a few books, I had a huge amount of understanding, on all levels.

Finally the biggest relief came when I understood and experienced healing at a Soul Level. By looking at this terminated child as a Soul and not just a body, I realised that I had a Soul Group history with this Soul, and my connection with this Soul took me on such a journey of self discovery, one that I don’t feel I would have taken without it.

In fact that journey is how I found my vocation to be a psychic/medium/healer. I felt that soul had to come that far into my body and life in order for me to “get it”. Talk about a huge tap on the shoulder.

As a mother it went against all of my natural instincts to do the emotional and spiritual works to “let this soul go” and trust that this wee spirit wasn’t wafting out there all alone.

But energetically and emotionally hanging onto the spirit of this unborn child is what was keeping me stuck as well.

In fact I looked like I was still pregnant years after I had been through the termination.

Are you still hanging onto the spirit of your unborn child? If you’re not willing to let go then chances are that energy is still affecting you.

If you are suffering after an abortion, one that happened weeks ago, or decades ago, then it may be time for you to take this spiritual journey of healing.

It’s a grief that’s often seen as taboo. It’s a double edged sword, you chose to have an abortion so why cry over a choice you made? And having an abortion wasn’t always so easily to get and it still is cloaked in controversy even though millions of them are performed each year. So there’s a sense of relief as well that we are “allowed” to have one so easily.

Perhaps your Soul is calling you to do the deeper work, one that takes you to a Soul level of understanding. And until you do, then the psychological and emotional pain will still linger.

I’m a big fan of David Wolfe at the moment, and he’s done alot to popularise the concept of Earthing as a health benefit. I just recently watched a video from the Longevity conference and David talks about the concept for about an hour and brings Clinton Ober to the stage to discuss it further. I had already purchased Clinton’s book about Earthing.

I was so taken with it that I decided to make my own earthing device which was so much cheaper and easier than buying one of the packages that David sells.

I just got a metal rod, attached some wire to it and stuck it in the ground, and ran that wire into my house and attached it to an antistatic band that i wear around my wrist. I wore it all day yesterday and found it had a hugely calming effect on me, it quietens the left brain of all the mind chatter. And I slept last night with it attached and my usual pains from being on the computer all day were non-existant.

Ideally we can just all go outside and walk barefoot on the ground for at least 15 mins three times a day. But as its winter here and for those people with a sedentary lifestyle, having an earthing wire attached is the next best thing.

The products you can buy now are numerous, sleeping pads, sleeping bags, products for in your vehicle etc.

Fundamentally David believes that the shoe is the most dangerous thing we ever invented. Keeping us away from the natural healing energy of mother earth.

The benefits of earthing are way too numerous to mention here. There have been documented cases for years of the results achieved.

As we all know indiginous cultures have known this for centuries, the healing power of the Earth, a huge battery that neutralises so many energies that we in the western world pick up in our day.

Ive been listening to some wonderful speakers on Suzanne Falter-Barns Spiritual Marketing telesummit.

I always like to pass on great information and one of the speakers, Darius Barazandeh, was awesome. He did a wee process that took only a few minutes and it felt like it was a huge piece of a healing process for me. What a gift!!!

Here’s the gist of what he was saying.

The Universe has an order to it.

Everything that has happened to you has happened for a reason. There’s a higher order to our lives.

We are way more than our conscious minds are aware of.

In our lives we pay people to take chaos and turn it into order.

Pain is not due to what happened, but its due to our estimate of it being out of alignment with our soul values.

The process he took us through was as follows:

Take a memory of something in your life that has pain. Perhaps not a horribly deep pain at this stage. Now think positively about it. Now think about your response and how you feel in your body.

Think about what you value in life: ie, your family, your kids, your friends, your work.

Now take that negative memory and align it with your values.

What did it teach you?
How has it made you stronger?
How has it made you more aware?
Would you have the same values had this not happened?
Would you be as open?
Woud you be as heartfelt?
How did that situation prepare you for a greater role in life? On the planet?
Look at this memory as if it was 10 years on and see the order to it.
How do you feel now?
What do you feel in your heart?

When I did this exercise I took the memory of having an abortion 7.5 years ago. My life was hellish because of it. So much self punishment, guilt, depression.

But…..

When I did this exercise, the relief I felt when seeing this in a positive light was like nothing I’ve felt around this painful bunch of memories.
Its taken me on such a journey. I am such a different person now than I was before it. The soul journey I have been on and the places and information and new level of awareness has been profoundly life changing. I wouldn’t be doing readings now if it wasn’t for that. It gave me my vocation.
Its all too easy to be stuck in knowing a situation has caused you pain, I think abortion, its just normal for me to go to guilt etc. But seeing it in the right divine order and through a positive filter has really altered my feelings.
Thanks Darius, the gift of healing can come with so much surprise and wonderment.

I mean sure, we know that forgiveness is for us, and not the other person, it frees us, but HOW do you actually do it? It’s not a case of saying, -I forgive you – just giving it lip service. Empty words.

How do you honestly mean it?

How do you forgive yourself?

I think forgiveness is the key to moving forward from the past to the future. It just stops things eating you up.

One of the fastest techniques I think, to get me there and create the shift to be able to forgive, to bring the focus back to me and not on what the other person did to me…

is Ho’oponopono….an ancient Hawaiian practise meaning reconciliation and forgiveness.

In 1976 Morrnah Simeona a Kahuna, adapted the healing tradition into a modern day practise and it has been brought to the west by Dr Hew Len. He has an amazing background, he healed a ward of criminally insane patients over 4 years using this technique. Google his name.

The essence of ho’oponoponpo is:

I’m sorry, please forgive me, I love you, Thank You.

Its a mantra we say over, meaning peace begins with us.

Dr Hew believes that if we take 100% responsibility for what we experience in life then we can go onto the next step where we say I’m sorry, please forgive me, I love you, Thank you.

We are in essence saying to the divine in us, I’m sorry for whatever it is in me that caused this. I’m 100% responsible so please convert all memories, blocks, debts, errors problems to nothing.

So if its in our experience, it is in us. If it shows up in our lives then we are responsible otherwise it wouldn’t show up.

100% responsiblity does not mean that it is our fault or we are to blame, but that we can only heal ourselves, we can’t heal another. But by healing ourselves we do our part for the collective consciousness and so therefore we are healing others.

If we are 100% responsible for the way we perceive the world, then in turn we will shift our perception and the world will change.

The way I see it also, is that we carry everyone in our lives inside ourselves. They may be out of our lives now but we still carry them within us energetically. I think starting off releasing ourselves from this person within us is a great start, its much easier to do than thinking we are giving the actual person permission to carry on hurting us like they did in the past.

Another technique you might want to try also is, each night for two weeks in bed, think of all the things you wish for yourself, great health, alot of money, great relationships, and then wish that for the person you cant feel you can forgive. Because what we can’t give to others we can’t allow for ourselves in our own lives.

In the early hours one morning I woke bolt awake and seemed to channel this healing method. It was like I was being talked through my own issues. When I wasn’t sure what was happening it was like a voice was guiding me telling me what to do next.

There’s no one way to describe this method and the energy it shifts and the issues it puts to rest. I’m sure as I explore it more, other areas will come to light that it heals. Alot of times we stay stuck in a pattern of wanting, needing, obsessing about what we haven’t got. I know I do.

This method is about completing stuff, it’s about giving yourself what you need or never got. We’re still waiting from childhood for much of what we need, we only want it from *that person*, we don’t feel its good enough to give it to ourselves, it doesn’t meet the need, but what we’re not realising is that we still have the old belief that that person is way more important to us than ourselves, that’s why we needed it from then. It was a matter of survival for us at one stage.

 Change happens on the inside, we don’t need what we wanted from the outside anymore. To our innerself getting what we need on the inside is enough to make changes. It shifts energy.

There are a few twists and turns to this technique. Sometimes getting what we thought we wanted on the inside hits the spot, sometimes it doesn’t. It’s finding out who we really wanted it from.

So rather than walking around like a bottomless pit, this is a way to fill that void, and more importantly move on from the past. It also frees up alot of energy and in turn you create more of the reality you want.
