Past-Life Healing

 

---

By 45, Jennifer had struggled with diagnosed depression for more than 10 years. She had been through counseling and was prescribed medication over a long period of time. No matter what method of help she tried, it seemed that a feeling of sadness had an unshakable grip on her.

She blamed her depression on the breakup of her marriage years earlier. Her husband had wandered from their relationship and fallen in love with someone else, ending their marriage. Jennifer was devastated by the rejection.

She’d always remembered having that feeling of sadness, even as a child. However, it became more of an issue after her marriage fell apart. It was now affecting her personal and business relationships. When she was not working, she would sleep, never leaving her home any more than was absolutely necessary.

Interacting with people was an emotional struggle. She withdrew into a very dark existence.

In a search for relief from her depression, Jennifer decided to have a past-life regression. Her girlfriend had great success with releasing a phobia through this method of healing, and Jennifer thought it might help her.
Once Jennifer relaxed into a comfortable state of hypnosis, I asked her to go back to the time when her depression originated. She immediately began painting a picture with her words.

“I see myself standing on a windy rock ledge, feeling broken and overcome with the deepest sadness,” she said.

I asked her what event created this sadness, and she began exploring her past life.

“My name is Claire, I live in Ireland, and the year is 1786. I’m 15 years old and in love with a soldier. He looks magnificent as he rides through my village on his horse. He has always shown me favor, and I know I will marry him. He has told me that he loves no other like me. I am so happy.”

Jennifer moved forward in time and saw where she had given herself to this man and shortly afterward discovered that he was to marry another. She was devastated. The only future she knew was the one she imagined with him.

As the days and weeks became years, Claire refused the attention of other men and became detached from life itself.

She moved forward in time to the last day of her life in that lifetime.

“Beneath me are craggy, windswept cliffs, and the ocean is so wild below,” she said. “It’s cold, and there is a heavy mist, but I am emotionally numb and do not feel the sting of the wind on my face or the icy cold through my billowing nightgown. Out of pain and desperation, I leap to my death.”

At this point in Jennifer’s past-life regression, she had the unique ability to understand why she went through the emotional trauma of the past life and how it relates to her life now.

Upon reflection, Jennifer said that in the past life, she was to learn the lesson of overcoming rejection and loss of a relationship. She remarked that she didn’t do such a good job, because she allowed the loss to keep her from seeking a life of happiness. Instead, she sank deep into sorrow and allowed the negative experience to deepen to the point of suicide.

Jennifer immediately saw the connection to her current life. She said that she has the opportunity to learn the same lesson that she was given in the past life. She realized that she has a choice to allow her circumstances of rejection and loss to ruin the rest of her life — or to rebound from it.

It’s been a year since her session, and Jennifer is dating.

Before she leaves for work each day, she attends an exercise class with friends. Interacting with people at her work has become enjoyable, making her days a much more positive experience.

Jennifer is happy with her life and feels she has overcome the broken relationship of this life and the sadness that seemed to plague her for so long. She attributes her healing to the discovery of her past-life experience and the knowledge of her present life lessons.
