The Angels Say...
Have more health and harmony by releasing your past.
As you release traumas from your past, the flow of your life-force energy increases, and you will find that have more health and harmony in your life.
Karma and Past Life Release
So why work with past lives?
The short answer is that it is one of the BIGGEST ways to bring about both healing and spiritual growth!
Practically everything you’re challenged by in the here and now has many roots and patterns in previous lives. That’s everything ranging from physical health problems, relationships, weight issues, money concerns, or patterns relating to struggle, time, clutter, compulsiveness, and just about anything you can think of.
If it’s a challenge for you, chances are you’ve BUILT it over a series of lifetimes and brought it along with you this time.
So what exactly is it that you’ve built? Simple — you’ve built the energy patterns that have attracted almost all of the variables related to your challenges in this lifetime! That would mean people, including choice of parents (Yes! You chose them before you were born!!!), events and incidents, stresses, circumstances, patterns of how you respond to things, and on and on and on…
When I first began asking “How many lives are there underlying this condition?” I was only a little surprised when the answers came back as anything from 1 to 5 or more significant lives, and then possibly numerous others besides. In many cases, the energy immediately became very intense, meaning “Yes!!! There is LOTS of energy there to release!!!”
Only very occasionally, the answer comes back as “none”, with the indication that the more relevant energy is in the present life, but this tends to be the exception, not the rule.
While knowing the details of a life might be nice, actually releasing the traumas that we’re carrying from it is much more important and helpful to your physical health and soul growth.
As an example, people sometimes come to me with information about a past life, received from other sources. As they begin telling me about what they know from that life, the energy starts “flying”, meaning lots of things are coming up, saying “Here we are! Please clear us!” The individuals knew the information, but the dense energy related to the lives was still carried in their auras.
The Angels have indicated that when we work with past lives, there are HUGE shifts in people’s energy fields!
Not only that, they’ve indicated that this is one of the key tools for healing in the physical body.
The angels are just as likely to guide me to a past life as to working specifically with a particular organ or body system.
We are guided to release the traumas we've brought with us from past lives, because in doing so, we’re gently wiping away the underlying energies that have been bringing challenges into people’s lives in the present.
As Dr. Linda Backman writes in her book Bringing Your Soul to Light, “When such energy is cleared, we no longer carry it in our spiritual DNA. Thus, our body, mind and spirit can function from a lighter, more elevated perspective.”
Releasing the traumas from past lives
Do past lives really exist? And can anyone answer that for sure? There seems to be a lot of evidence for it these days…
All I can say is that when I “scan” a world map for a client, there are definite energies, emotions, feelings and energy responses that come through, associated with different countries and continents on the map. These are very unique to each client!
So here's how it usually goes when we're working with past lives in a healing session:
We generally start by finding the place.
Most often, we’ll ask the angels something like “Show us a life that’s relevant to…” followed by the particular health issue, relationship, or other issue we want to work with. Sometimes we’ll just ask the angels to guide us to the life that’s the most significant or will be the most helpful overall.
The angels will always guide us to lives with traumas and other energies that are relevant to what we’re asking.
As I initially scan the world map, several places might come up, and I might say something like “Oh, North America has something — it feels heavy; South America is fine. Wow! Europe has a lot of anxiety! Africa has a particularly traumatic energy...”
All of those emotions are just indicators of the energies in the lives that are relevant to what we’re asking.
As we zoom in closer to one of those locations, we’ll likely be guided to a very distinct part of the relevant continent or country where the energy is most intense. As often happens when we hit on a very intense energy, I may have difficulty even saying the name of the place! (It’s just an indication of “stuck energy.”)
While the location is usually a specific part of a country or region, sometimes I’m shown a more extensive area, or a path of travel that’s relevant.
For example, for one client, traveling the waters of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway came up. She would likely have been a Native American baby in that life (she only lived to one year old), traveling those waters in a canoe. The angels then gave us additional guidance that this individual would benefit and receive more healing by being around lots of water.
For another client, we were shown the southern part of South Korea, southern Japan, and the water between the two. This client happened to be intuitive, and received images of being on a ship, with a crew, as a buccaneer. That information was validated.
"Validation" just means that "the energy responds", indicating that this is indeed present in the individual's energy. I'm like a "mega-watt amplifier as I'm tuning into energy — it's hard to explain, but oh-so-very obvious when you're experiencing it!!!
To sidetrack just a little, becoming aware of this life as a buccaneer turned out to be very helpful for this client, as he immediately recognized people who seemed to be “out to get him for no reason at all” in this lifetime as individuals he had mistreated and hurt in that lifetime!
Recognizing why we've attracted something in the present life often helps us to "let it go. It can make forgiveness so much easier!
Next, we usually ask the gender of the individual, how long they lived, and the approximate timeframe of the life.
While this might sound very routine, it is not. All of the energies are so unique!
For example, as I am asking for information about how long the person might have lived, we’re usually also accessing the energy around that person’s death. As a result, the energy might immediately shift.
Sometimes huge anxiety and fear comes up, reflecting some kind of trauma related to how the person died.
Sometimes there’s a very heavy feeling, or sadness. This would be more likely to be present in the case of illness.
Other times, there might be a “this is NOT nice” energy, which might come through with body language, for instance, in which my face screws up and my head turns to the side. (The energy is very expressive as it comes through me — there is usually a lot of body language!)
As I’m asking the gender, sometimes body language comes through too. 
For example, think of the body language of “very male”, and imagine a very macho male energy coming through, along with a deeper, lower voice.
For one client, a life came up as a girl in Africa who lived to be 12 years old. Initially, the energy around being female had so much stress and trauma associated with it that I could not even say the word “female” (an indication of the very "dense" nature of the energy). As we cleared this energy, I could then easily say it.
Usually, the whole life we’re delving into has an overall energy.
That would be the energy I described as I initially scanned the world map and then tuned into the more specific locations.
As we work with releasing energies from the life, the overall energy of the life will shift. It will usually feel much clearer and lighter by the time we’re done.
Sometimes, releasing one major trauma in a life can cause an immediate shift in the overall energy of the life.
To illustrate this, in one of my clients, we were asking about lives that were underlying his headaches. A life came up in Egypt around 320 BC, in which he was a female who lived to be about 13 years old. As we first tuned into this life, there was an incredible sadness present. My hands were guided to the head, related to the time of death, which was also coming up as very traumatic.
The moment we asked if there might have been a head trauma, LOTS of energy was cleared, and then the huge overall sadness in that life was suddenly gone!
There are often correlations between events in a past life and something in the current life.
For example, for one client, I was clearly shown the energy of being strangled in a life, and then shown the corresponding energy of the umbilical cord being wrapped around his neck as a baby in this life.
For another client who was dealing with a swollen lymph gland in the armpit area, we were taken to a previous life in which he had been stabbed in that area (and with subsequent information that he didn’t die from the wound in that life).
One of the big blessings in releasing past-life karma is that you may find that people respond to you differently (better).
Take the case of the client I mentioned above who had the life as a buccaneer (example above related to locations), and the resulting vibrations that attracted “people who are out to get him” in this lifetime.
Those people probably don’t have a clue as to why they feel negative towards him, but in releasing the energies from that life (which we usually extend to include others who may have been affected), those individuals will likely no longer feel that same unconscious anger towards him.
Relationships with key individuals in your life may also change as karma between you is released.
So you might ask, is it helpful?
The answer, unequivocably, is Yes!
You WILL experience spiritual growth and expansion of your aura as a result of releasing past life traumas and energies.
Sometimes there are immediate and apparent effects, while other times, there may simply be a clearing away of old dense energies that you’ve been carrying. The effects may be subtle, such as just bringing more harmony overall.
The results could manifest in healing in the physical body, emotional healing, significant changes in a relationship, opening a "permission" to heal, simply unblocking a flow of energy that has been blocked, or in any number of other ways!
Sometimes just understanding why you've attracted a particular issue is help enough.
Let me share a few examples:
One of my clients has been having “head noises” for many years. She has said that it sounds like "having a constant army of crickets” in her head. During one of her sessions, several lives came up in which she had “made noise” that disturbed herself and/or others in various ways — incluing the noise of battle in one of her lives.
Following that session, she noted that her head was much improved, with the head noises drastically reduced.
Another situation involves a client who developed some rather severe health challenges following an accident that her teenage son was in several years ago. Her son is still trying to heal physically and emotionally from the accident, and depends on her to provide much loving support.
What came up in the session was that the two of them had been together in a life in Kenya, in which my client was her son’s father, but died when the child was very small, effectively abandoning him. The karma her son was carrying in this life included a request by his soul that he might “grow” through having the experience of feeling abandoned again, so that he might have a chance to work through it this time around and come to a place of peace.
We often go through similar experiences in various lifetimes, until we "learn the lesson" and can be in a space of LOVE around whatever it is.
So, here’s where the karma gets interesting! As long as the son was carrying the soul-request for an experience of abandonment with his mother, there was resistance in the mother’s soul to healing her own health challenges, since they would give her physical body an escape route and effectively provide the means in this lifetime for "abandoning" her son.
Once we cleared the energy in the son related to abandonment, there was a huge shift in the mother’s energy, giving her permission now to heal.
Another client was concerned about the unhappiness and isolation that was apparent in his nine-year old son. This attitude had been present since the boy's early childhood, despite a stable and loving home situation.
In releasing traumas that came up in several of the son’s lives, including one in which he had been mistreated as a child (a life unrelated to his current parents), the changes were very noticeable: The boy became happier, calmer, and also exhibited less anger and resentment, and his relationship with his father also changed in a positive way.
For yet another client, in simply becoming aware of being hanged in a past life, there was an immediate opening in a flow of energy in the neck and throat area that had been stuck for a long time — had been carried in the aura through many lifetimes, to be more specific!
Regardless of whether or not you have immediate and apparent effects in your life as a result of clearing past life energy, you will be VERY aware of the energy and the nature of the energy that is clearing during the session.
As I mentioned, the energy is very expressive, and as the traumas are channeled out through me, they let us know their presence in no uncertain terms!
So while you are not likely to feel the traumas or emotions yourself (and that's a good thing because it makes it painless and easy for you!), you will definitely be aware of their intensity and nature. And believe me, there is usually a LOT!!! This means that you’re no longer carrying the weight of those traumas and dense energies. Hooray! That has to make a difference!
Since you can be aware of all that is releasing — and it WILL be a lot! — I have a feeling you won't be able to doubt that SOMETHING is happening and changing!
From my perspective, I am shown the increase in the energy flows. I KNOW that each thing we release makes a difference, and releasing many things in concert usually brings significant changes to your energy flow.
When we reach the end of a session, I will often re-check the energy. I am blessed in that I given information about how well energy is (or is not) flowing, related to something specific, whether it’s a condition, a body organ, a situation, or a "life".
What we find when I re-check is that there are usually very significant increases in the energy flow of various organs and the overall issues we were working with.
Based on much experience at this point, I can say with much confidence that the more of your lives and energy we clear, the lighter and more beautiful your energy will feel to me and others who are able to tune into it!
... not to mention all the individuals who comment on how much lighter and just better overall they feel through having sessions!
You are welcome to bring what you already know!
By all means, please feel free to come to a session with info about lives you already know about! You will probably be surprised!
As I’ve already mentioned, knowing the information does not necessarily (or usually) mean that it has been released or healed!
Also, you may have become aware of particular things or events in that life, but there will likely also be many other things in that life that are carrying stresses, such as traumas around birth, the weight or shock of a death, or stresses related to other events in that time and place. There may also have been significant emotional challenges, relationship issues, and any number of other things!
The angels will gladly work with just about anything you want to bring into a healing session!
