Can Past Lives Heal Grief? with Michelle Brock | EP 497

WEBVTT
00:01:15.609 --> 00:01:17.409
Close your eyes and imagine.
00:01:18.890 --> 00:01:24.829
What if the things in life that caused us the greatest pain, the things that bring us grief, are challenges.
00:01:26.510 --> 00:01:31.469
Challenges designed to help us grow to ultimately become what we were always meant to be.
00:01:32.370 --> 00:01:37.490
We feel like we've been buried, but what if, like a seed, we've been planted?
00:01:38.609 --> 00:01:42.049
And having been planted, we grow to become a mighty tree.
00:01:43.129 --> 00:01:45.250
Now, open your eyes.
00:01:45.969 --> 00:01:47.750
Open your eyes to this way of viewing life.
00:01:48.650 --> 00:01:52.990
Come with me as we explore your true, infinite, eternal nature.
00:01:54.150 --> 00:01:58.250
This is Grief to Growth, and I am your host, Brian Smith.
00:02:00.270 --> 00:02:01.710
Hey there, welcome to Grief to Growth.
00:02:01.849 --> 00:02:07.569
I'm Brian Smith, and whether you're joining us for the first time, or you've been walking this road with me for a while, I want to tell you I'm glad you're here.
00:02:08.050 --> 00:02:12.930
The show exists from the moments when life cracks you open, the questions underneath won't stay quiet.
00:02:12.930 --> 00:02:26.329
We explore grief, loss, consciousness, and the possibility backed by more evidence than more people realize, that who we are goes far deeper than this one lifetime, and that love is truly never interrupted.
00:02:27.129 --> 00:02:34.009
My guest today is Michelle Brock, and Michelle is a past life regression specialist, a psychic medium, and a spiritual life coach.
00:02:34.269 --> 00:02:35.370
She's based in New York City.
00:02:35.969 --> 00:02:47.210
She's spent years doing something most of us have never considered, helping people remember who they were before this life, and using those memories to finally break free from us holding them back in this life.
00:02:47.810 --> 00:03:11.990
She's studied spirituality, shamanism, meditation, divination, astrology, and energy medicine from traditions across the world, and what she's discovered along the way is both surprising, and when you think about it, deeply human, that the experiences we call psychic or spiritual aren't rare or strange, that they're woven into nearly every culture on earth, and they're part of who we are.
00:03:12.790 --> 00:03:15.349
Michelle is the author of the book, Who Do You Think You Are?
00:03:15.569 --> 00:03:30.729
An Interactive Journey Through Your Past Lives and Into Your Best Future, and for those of you in the John Netwe're Evolve Plus community, you probably already know Michelle, not probably, you do already know Michelle, because Michelle's there, and she's the one that introduced me to that platform.
00:03:31.210 --> 00:03:39.729
She and I are both creators there, and now in kind of a full circle moment, she's guided me through my own past life regression, which we'll touch upon in this episode.
00:03:40.770 --> 00:03:42.610
And that's where this episode gets personal.
00:03:44.409 --> 00:03:49.770
So it's what it's like to close my eyes and be taken somewhere else to another time, another version of myself.
00:03:50.449 --> 00:03:57.050
And we're going to explore how those memories, once unlocked, have a way of explaining things in this life that never quite made sense.
00:03:57.569 --> 00:04:08.210
So if you've ever felt like part of your story is missing, like there's something underneath the grief, the blocks, the inexplicable pull towards certain people or places, this episode's for you.
00:04:08.949 --> 00:04:17.009
And if you want to continue this episode after the cover, or continue the conversation after the episode, head over to grief2growth.substack.com.
00:04:17.350 --> 00:04:22.509
You'll find an article there about today's discussion, where you can comment and connect with me and with other listeners.
00:04:23.029 --> 00:04:24.230
So with that, let's get started.
00:04:24.389 --> 00:04:25.350
And let's welcome Michelle Brock.
00:04:26.930 --> 00:04:27.449
Hi.
00:04:27.449 --> 00:04:30.009
Hi, Michelle.
00:04:30.250 --> 00:04:31.389
Welcome to Grief to Growth.
00:04:31.730 --> 00:04:33.009
It's great to have you here.
00:04:33.569 --> 00:04:39.389
As I mentioned in the introduction, you introduced me to John Edwards, Evolve Plus community, where we're both creators.
00:04:40.009 --> 00:04:44.970
For people that don't know, that's a fantastic place to connect with people like Michelle and myself.
00:04:45.350 --> 00:04:47.169
So I want to thank you publicly for doing that.
00:04:47.550 --> 00:04:48.210
No, no problem.
00:04:48.350 --> 00:04:49.389
The pleasure is ours.
00:04:49.590 --> 00:04:53.029
You are a wonderful addition to this amazing community.
00:04:53.529 --> 00:04:56.389
So yeah, Evolve Plus is a really unique place on the internet.
00:04:56.389 --> 00:04:59.529
And I absolutely love being a part of it.
00:04:59.830 --> 00:05:05.789
So yeah, well, you've you've studied all kinds of spiritual practices from all around the world.
00:05:05.789 --> 00:05:08.930
And you landed on helping people with past life regressions.
00:05:08.930 --> 00:05:11.470
But how did you get drawn to this in the first place?
00:05:12.029 --> 00:05:15.810
Yeah, so I got into this work kind of through my own journey.
00:05:17.250 --> 00:05:25.970
You know, I stumbled across a book called Many Lives, Many Masters, which was written by a wonderful author named Dr. Brian Weiss.
00:05:27.350 --> 00:05:30.449
It was at a time in my life that I really felt like I was at a crossroads.
00:05:31.029 --> 00:05:32.769
Things were not going well.
00:05:33.269 --> 00:05:35.169
And I was safe and healthy.
00:05:35.450 --> 00:05:38.809
And you know, I was it was more of a dark night of the soul kind of a thing.
00:05:39.570 --> 00:05:43.509
But that book just really opened up my world.
00:05:43.970 --> 00:05:46.070
I remember I read it in one sitting.
00:05:46.470 --> 00:05:47.429
I couldn't put it down.
00:05:47.750 --> 00:05:51.850
It was the most compelling thing I'd ever even thought of, right?
00:05:52.049 --> 00:05:54.370
Like the idea that you can recall past lives.
00:05:54.370 --> 00:05:57.950
And I ended up going to a workshop that he was giving.
00:05:58.529 --> 00:06:00.570
And I started to have past life memories.
00:06:01.610 --> 00:06:06.129
And that experience has completely changed the way that I look at everything.
00:06:06.870 --> 00:06:15.029
It allowed me to just completely renegotiate who I thought I was and why I'm here, why any of us are here, and what life is all about.
00:06:16.049 --> 00:06:16.509
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:16.730 --> 00:06:20.049
So you said you went to the workshop and you started in past life memory memories.
00:06:20.169 --> 00:06:22.129
Were you regressed or did this come spontaneously?
00:06:22.830 --> 00:06:32.669
So what he did was these kind of group regressions, a lot of similar to what I do on the Evolve Plus platform when I would go live, their group meditations.
00:06:32.850 --> 00:06:36.490
But I started seeing images and feeling things.
00:06:36.690 --> 00:06:38.309
Some of them were intensely emotional.
00:06:39.710 --> 00:06:44.370
And then he actually said, you know, I know that there are hundreds of people here.
00:06:44.649 --> 00:06:48.970
Many had traveled from far corners of the world to be there in his presence.
00:06:49.230 --> 00:06:53.909
And he said, I can only choose one volunteer to come up on stage to demonstrate this.
00:06:54.570 --> 00:06:58.470
And the second he said that, I knew that it would be me.
00:06:59.210 --> 00:07:02.710
I was in the back and I was kind of like, oh, meet me.
00:07:03.750 --> 00:07:04.710
And he did.
00:07:05.190 --> 00:07:05.809
He chose me.
00:07:06.370 --> 00:07:15.690
And I went up on stage and I had this experience in front of hundreds of people that just completely shattered my entire perception of myself.
00:07:16.649 --> 00:07:19.409
And again, life and purpose and all of that.
00:07:19.409 --> 00:07:30.250
So yeah, I felt like I needed to pay that forward because it was such an instantaneously transformative experience to me.
00:07:30.289 --> 00:07:31.070
It was very healing.
00:07:32.070 --> 00:07:38.950
The regression that I did with him is actually something he included in his most recent book, which is called Miracles Happen.
00:07:40.129 --> 00:07:45.049
And the story is basically about my mother who died in this life in 1977.
00:07:45.269 --> 00:07:46.250
I was still two.
00:07:47.169 --> 00:07:49.009
And I saw her in a past life.
00:07:49.409 --> 00:07:52.389
I saw, you know, she was my wife.
00:07:52.590 --> 00:07:56.450
I was the husband, which seems strange, but there it was.
00:07:57.529 --> 00:07:57.990
I felt it.
00:07:58.110 --> 00:07:58.610
I knew it.
00:07:59.009 --> 00:08:02.090
I could tell how much love was between us.
00:08:03.149 --> 00:08:17.769
And yeah, once I was able to kind of see that and how I died in that past life, it helped me kind of negotiate a lot of things about how I saw my father grieve in this life after losing my mother.
00:08:18.710 --> 00:08:25.389
So yeah, it was literally like maybe 15 years of therapy, like 30 minutes.
00:08:26.590 --> 00:08:31.590
Don't bypass therapy or don't bypass your work with a grief coach to anyone listening out there.
00:08:31.649 --> 00:08:33.929
But it was just incredibly healing.
00:08:34.210 --> 00:08:37.769
And there was an instant knowing that we've been together before.
00:08:38.309 --> 00:08:41.549
She had to leave and couldn't stay with me in this life.
00:08:41.649 --> 00:08:42.870
It will be together again.
00:08:43.769 --> 00:08:54.250
So it was a very, very, very much a balm for my soul for that loss that had shaped me and it shaped my entire life up to the point.
00:08:54.370 --> 00:08:56.389
Yeah, I'm sure it did.
00:08:56.850 --> 00:08:59.870
So I know you're a shaman and you're medium.
00:09:00.509 --> 00:09:01.809
So you're highly intuitive.
00:09:02.330 --> 00:09:06.570
Did that come about after you had this past life regression or was that something you had before?
00:09:07.450 --> 00:09:12.769
I definitely had a lot of experiences as a child that I didn't understand.
00:09:13.049 --> 00:09:15.970
And I also didn't have anybody that could explain it to me.
00:09:16.429 --> 00:09:17.429
I grew up very religious.
00:09:18.649 --> 00:09:22.009
Past lives were not something that my family believed in.
00:09:22.450 --> 00:09:27.190
They actually still don't believe in it, but they say that they understand that I believe in it.
00:09:28.750 --> 00:09:34.649
Just a very rigid system of beliefs that didn't allow for these things.
00:09:35.110 --> 00:09:39.009
And yeah, I saw people who had passed.
00:09:39.009 --> 00:09:41.009
I saw my mother after she had passed.
00:09:41.909 --> 00:09:43.250
I had conversations with her.
00:09:44.070 --> 00:09:52.929
I actually had conversations with animals and trees, which is why I was really drawn to the study of shamanic practices.
00:09:53.350 --> 00:09:59.689
Mostly from actually five different continents I've studied, like indigenous healing practices.
00:09:59.750 --> 00:10:01.470
That just felt very natural to me.
00:10:01.629 --> 00:10:04.889
I was kind of a granola nature kind of kid.
00:10:06.329 --> 00:10:09.449
So a lot of my intuitive stuff just kind of came out of that.
00:10:09.629 --> 00:10:14.850
It didn't seem like it was anything that hit me over the head.
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.419
I did bury it though, as I got older.
00:11:25.019 --> 00:11:30.340
And after that regression, it came back, but like with a vengeance, it was just like opened up.
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:35.019
I actually could see people's auras in that audience after the regression.
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:36.899
I opened my eyes.
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:38.120
I was like, wait a second.
00:11:38.500 --> 00:11:39.100
Yeah, colors.
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:41.080
I could see people's emotions.
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:42.500
I actually could see them.
00:11:43.460 --> 00:11:54.620
So yeah, after that, it took a lot of seeking out teachers, people that could help me understand those experiences and become grounded in them.
00:11:55.019 --> 00:11:59.399
And then also use them, the alchemy to use them to help other people.
00:11:59.700 --> 00:12:06.899
So that was really what my journey of the last 20 years has been after having that original past life memory.
00:12:07.580 --> 00:12:16.919
So, you know, it's really interesting to me the people who really pushed so hard against the idea of reincarnation or past lives.
00:12:17.100 --> 00:12:26.820
In my experience, it's been pretty much Christian fundamentalists who have been taught that the Bible says there's no such thing.
00:12:27.460 --> 00:12:30.759
What's been your experience in terms of people to say, I just don't believe it.
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:32.519
Has it been anybody outside of that group?
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:41.460
And so I love to remind people that actually past lives were in the Bible.
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:42.580
Yeah, of course.
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:43.120
Yeah.
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:48.360
Emperor Constantine took them out, you know, with the Council of Nicaea.
00:12:48.779 --> 00:13:02.539
And a lot of people are surprised to hear that, which to me makes sense because, you know, Christianity stemmed from Judaism and you really can't understand mystical Judaism or Kabbalah without understanding reincarnation past lives.
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:12.840
And actually, there are snippets in the Dead Sea Scrolls and some of those lost books that actually do speak to reincarnation.
00:13:14.259 --> 00:13:17.840
My family are Mormons.
00:13:18.659 --> 00:13:19.159
Oh, okay.
00:13:20.259 --> 00:13:20.419
So, right.
00:13:20.800 --> 00:13:26.039
So reincarnation is they do talk a lot about like a pre life.
00:13:26.259 --> 00:13:28.340
They call it the pre existence after life.
00:13:29.560 --> 00:13:36.080
But the idea that we reincarnated in a bodily form just wasn't taught.
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:41.919
And I don't think anybody thinks that it's evil in that tradition to teach that.
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:54.279
But I do sometimes run into people who are kind of Christian fundamentalists that say that that's an experience of Satan or hypnosis is an experience that opens you up to evil spirits or Satan.
00:13:54.600 --> 00:14:07.320
And I think that's kind of crazy because, you know, hypnosis and meditation are so, you know, intricately entwined, you know, they're almost the same thing.
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:14.940
So, yeah, I mean, I just everybody's entitled to their own beliefs and their own opinion.
00:14:15.100 --> 00:14:21.019
But what I like to invite people to do is to make room for their own direct experience.
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:27.060
You cannot believe in reincarnation and do a past life regression with me and then have an experience.
00:14:27.060 --> 00:14:30.980
And you still might say, I don't know if that was actually my past life.
00:14:31.180 --> 00:14:31.279
Right.
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:34.240
Because truth is such a personal concept.
00:14:34.419 --> 00:14:36.419
What's true might not be true for me.
00:14:37.180 --> 00:14:42.879
And that new found beliefs don't have to negate previously held beliefs.
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:43.340
Right.
00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:54.340
You talk about that on your lives on develop plus a lot like about how, you know, we can we don't have to accept all the tenants of a certain institution.
00:14:55.480 --> 00:15:03.440
And if we reject that, that negates the pieces and the parts that we want to hold because they make sense to us.
00:15:03.539 --> 00:15:03.639
Right.
00:15:04.800 --> 00:15:05.360
Resonate with us.
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:11.539
So, yeah, I encourage people to do your own study, do your own exploration, because that's what I did.
00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:16.720
And I've been I was told that the Bible teaches or Christianity teaches there's no such thing reincarnation.
00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:22.100
But like you said, it was mostly edited out of the Bible, but they miss some places.
00:15:22.100 --> 00:15:26.800
And there are places in the Bible that do talk about, you know, people coming back.
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:28.980
They talk about John the Baptist being Elijah.
00:15:29.659 --> 00:15:33.120
Jesus talks about, you know, God is the God of the living, not the dead.
00:15:33.259 --> 00:15:37.519
And so they're at they're always asking, is this person that person?
00:15:38.060 --> 00:15:44.000
And there's another verse I think is really interesting is where they ask Jesus, the man that was born blind.
00:15:44.180 --> 00:15:52.360
He said, was he born blind because of his parents sin or because of his sin, which indicates how could a baby, you know, sin before he was born?
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:57.039
So they were saying, was this like a karmic thing and Jesus did not correct them.
00:15:57.500 --> 00:16:02.180
So I think there is even in our in our own Bibles, there's that.
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:07.740
And I think it's really interesting, as I said, that most of the world accepts this pretty readily.
00:16:07.940 --> 00:16:09.399
That's that's kind of what I was getting at.
00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:19.100
So if you're if you're rejecting it because someone's told you you should understand that, you know, even the early church fathers did believe in past lives.
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:21.080
And it's funny, interesting.
00:16:21.300 --> 00:16:25.139
You mentioned Mormonism because I'd never heard about pre existence until after Shana passed.
00:16:25.620 --> 00:16:30.159
And I was mentioning to my sister-in-law, who's Mormon, and she's like, oh, yeah, we teach that.
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:31.919
I'm like, oh, I didn't know that.
00:16:32.340 --> 00:16:32.460
Yeah.
00:16:32.860 --> 00:16:33.340
Oh, interesting.
00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:35.919
So your sister-in-law's woman, so you know a little bit about it.
00:16:36.060 --> 00:16:48.820
Yeah, I think that the idea that we were just created as we were born doesn't really make sense if you actually look at nature and study nature, which I do.
00:16:49.060 --> 00:16:49.159
Right.
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:51.340
Like she's not created or destroyed.
00:16:51.460 --> 00:16:52.560
It only changes forms.
00:16:52.940 --> 00:17:01.580
And, you know, to me, the idea that we existed before made more sense than if we were just created in a in a moment just for this life.
00:17:02.060 --> 00:17:04.039
And also, why did why do babies die?
00:17:04.159 --> 00:17:05.740
And some people live to be 100.
00:17:05.940 --> 00:17:06.200
Right.
00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:06.859
Yeah.
00:17:06.919 --> 00:17:11.139
If this is just our only, you know, go around, how is that fair?
00:17:11.419 --> 00:17:11.720
Right.
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:14.319
I used to think about those things when I was a kid.
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:27.119
And it really wasn't until I understood how reincarnation actually worked that I was able to kind of reconcile a lot of those thoughts that I had that there's a bigger picture to our existence than just this one lifetime.
00:17:27.779 --> 00:17:29.799
Yeah, it does answer a lot of questions.
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:32.200
And that's what I try to encourage people to do.
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:34.440
Look at look at it as a theory.
00:17:34.639 --> 00:17:36.299
See, does it does it make sense to you?
00:17:36.399 --> 00:17:37.680
Does it answer some of these questions?
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:51.599
Like you said, you know, a child that's stillborn that never even gets to to come into a body or a child that only gets to be, you know, a few minutes or a few months old, that seems so grossly unfair if this is our only incarnation.
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:58.879
And if we think about the fact that, you know, we have multiple incarnations, it does it does make more sense.
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.099
And we all have these things that we seem to come in with.
00:18:03.379 --> 00:18:07.899
And anybody that's had more than one child realizes that that child is not a blank slate.
00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:10.399
When they come in, they have a personality.
00:18:11.139 --> 00:18:11.639
They do, right?
00:18:11.879 --> 00:18:13.599
Yes, they do.
00:18:13.819 --> 00:18:19.980
They have the they they they come ready with their quirks and their all their potential.
00:18:20.019 --> 00:18:21.799
And it's so true.
00:18:21.859 --> 00:18:23.200
They're complete individuals.
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:24.359
Yeah.
00:18:24.779 --> 00:18:28.579
So you you said, OK, I want to start doing this.
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:34.139
I want to start doing past life regressions because it really impacted like who you are.
00:18:34.220 --> 00:18:34.740
And that's the thing.
00:18:34.740 --> 00:18:38.539
Another big question I always say to people is I was asked like, so what?
00:18:39.180 --> 00:18:42.799
So if we have past lives and we can't people say, I have a past life, but I can't remember.
00:18:42.980 --> 00:18:43.899
It doesn't make any difference.
00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:44.940
Why would I even care?
00:18:45.539 --> 00:18:47.819
But what we found out, we find out these regressions.
00:18:47.819 --> 00:18:49.200
It does make a big difference.
00:18:49.859 --> 00:18:50.680
Yeah, it does.
00:18:50.940 --> 00:19:04.460
And and once I had that experience with Dr. Weiss, it kind of had a little bit of a a weighty feel to it, not in a bad way, but it felt like it came with a responsibility to to share it.
00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:12.779
Maybe that was my own, you know, obviously believing in past lives like that was meant to happen.
00:19:12.779 --> 00:19:18.919
And this was a path that I was, you know, meant to take and something I was meant to teach it to spell.
00:19:18.919 --> 00:19:22.579
I felt really strongly that I needed to help people.
00:19:23.460 --> 00:19:26.379
And that was the way that I would do it.
00:19:26.458 --> 00:19:35.000
In fact, one of my first past life memories, even before the one I did on stage, I remember being in it was like the turn of the century.
00:19:35.678 --> 00:19:43.740
I knew it was like the early 1900s in Chicago, and there was a building that was on fire and people were leaping from the fire.
00:19:43.819 --> 00:19:45.779
It was a terrible, terrible disaster.
00:19:46.698 --> 00:19:53.619
I had on like lacy gloves and like I had like a parasol and I was like, Oh, I need to help these people.
00:19:53.779 --> 00:19:56.439
And I but it was like, how how do I help these people?
00:19:56.439 --> 00:20:01.319
I'm not capable of helping people in the state I want, right?
00:20:01.399 --> 00:20:12.819
It was this really interesting message to me that like, drop the parasol and take off the gloves and go out there and, you know, get the hose and help people, right?
00:20:13.500 --> 00:20:15.259
I was like, I just froze.
00:20:15.579 --> 00:20:22.719
And I sat there as Michelle in, you know, this century, kind of watching myself going, why am I frozen?
00:20:23.459 --> 00:20:25.079
Yeah, go do something.
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:26.159
Go help people, right?
00:20:26.159 --> 00:20:37.099
So it's kind of this interesting mix of watching who you are now watching your past self make the decisions that they made more than you would make different ones today, right?
00:20:37.959 --> 00:20:44.879
They come with these little messages in, you know, when you do a past life regression, which, you know, because you did one as well.
00:20:45.399 --> 00:20:54.279
It's like a little message from your former self to your current self about what you need to do in life and the and the path that you need to take.
00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:59.219
So so how many how many past slides would you say that you've recalled at this point?
00:21:00.059 --> 00:21:00.859
Oh, gosh.
00:21:01.479 --> 00:21:07.500
Like, I think like 46 or 47, like something like that.
00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:11.559
It means that that's how much work I needed to do on myself, right?
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:13.859
That's how much I needed to change.
00:21:14.479 --> 00:21:18.659
Yeah, they they tumbled out at the beginning pretty quickly.
00:21:18.659 --> 00:21:27.199
And I remember when I went back to Dr. Weiss, maybe like nine months after that initial experience, because I wanted to learn the technique from him.
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:29.599
I did a professional training with him.
00:21:30.019 --> 00:21:34.659
And he told Carol that they were at the time training professionals to do this.
00:21:35.219 --> 00:21:38.500
And I told him, I was like, Yeah, you know, I had like 30 past slides.
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:39.719
And he just looked at me like, What?
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:42.659
He's like, That's a lot more than most people.
00:21:43.379 --> 00:21:44.599
It's diplomatic way.
00:21:44.659 --> 00:21:46.179
He was like, That's a lot more than most people.
00:21:47.539 --> 00:21:58.719
And so now, a lot of times when I have a problem that I'm looking to solve, or a situation that is troubling, I sit on it and meditate on it.
00:21:58.939 --> 00:22:03.659
And sometimes the past life will come that will give me insight into it.
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:07.399
Sometimes it won't until after I've navigated the situation.
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:11.979
I'll sit there and go, Oh, I know this is like a karmic thing from a past life.
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:12.619
I need help.
00:22:12.619 --> 00:22:14.699
Like, give me the primer, give me the clips notes.
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:17.539
And it doesn't come because I'm meant to work through it on my own.
00:22:17.819 --> 00:22:20.740
So yeah, it's not a fail safe tool for me.
00:22:21.399 --> 00:22:27.699
Yeah, you know, well, you know, people say we've had hundreds, maybe thousands of past lives.
00:22:27.879 --> 00:22:33.339
But most of us, if we do recall, it's a couple, I think there are people who recall more.
00:22:33.500 --> 00:22:38.919
I think my Kelvin Chen, I think he said 60 that he's recalled.
00:22:39.939 --> 00:22:42.279
And it goes back like 6000 years.
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:47.299
But some, some he has more detail on some are just like little snippets.
00:22:47.819 --> 00:22:52.059
So it's not like, you know, when you have this, like you remember the entire lifetime.
00:22:53.299 --> 00:22:55.159
Yeah, it's a little snapshot.
00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:56.359
It's like a moment in time.
00:22:56.740 --> 00:22:59.719
And didn't Shirley Maclean say she remembered 100 of hers?
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:00.479
I think so.
00:23:00.879 --> 00:23:03.219
Yeah, which people are like, Oh, that's crazy.
00:23:03.259 --> 00:23:05.759
I'm like, No, she's just been at it for a long time.
00:23:05.939 --> 00:23:06.059
Right?
00:23:06.179 --> 00:23:12.359
Like, that's not, you know, and she probably has 10 times more lives in human form.
00:23:12.740 --> 00:23:12.839
Yeah.
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:14.339
They're like little snapshots.
00:23:14.399 --> 00:23:15.599
It's like a day in the life.
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:15.939
Right.
00:23:17.339 --> 00:23:21.939
So one thing I wanted to ask you, this is the second time I've done a past life regression.
00:23:22.539 --> 00:23:25.199
And you're, you're an intuitive.
00:23:25.539 --> 00:23:30.119
So you're like, I'm talking to your guides, I'm kind of going into this journey with you.
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:32.179
That wasn't my experience before.
00:23:33.159 --> 00:23:35.099
Is that something that Dr. Weiss teaches?
00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:37.000
Or is that your own kind of spin?
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:50.000
So Dr. Weiss does a really good job of, you know, staying in a particular lane because he is a MD psychiatrist, you know, MD psychiatrist.
00:23:50.959 --> 00:23:58.559
And, you know, he does this professional training to all kinds of people, including clergy, psychiatrists, people that are to their practice.
00:24:00.219 --> 00:24:09.779
I actually realized that I could use my intuitive abilities with it as I was guiding people as I was working with clients.
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:17.199
So, yeah, I would just be like, wait, I'm, I'm seeing what they're seeing while they're talking.
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:25.399
And I'm trying to be careful not to say, okay, and then, and then we see this and then what happens and let that kind of lead themselves like through it.
00:24:26.399 --> 00:24:47.179
Once I realized that I'm actually seeing what they're seeing, but also when with the life coaching part of the session where we sit down and kind of talk about, you know, what they're curious about or what parts of their life they think might be impacted by a past life and, you know, what we want to ask our guides to help us with.
00:24:47.379 --> 00:24:52.419
I started realizing that I was getting intuitive hits from people's guides as well.
00:24:52.639 --> 00:24:57.159
They're kind of whispering, they're like, ask him about the time when he was 10, you know.
00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:04.479
Yeah, that just developed over time as I started to practice this.
00:25:04.479 --> 00:25:07.779
And, you know, I've been doing this for 20 years now.
00:25:09.259 --> 00:25:13.139
And it's the most exciting, most interesting job on the entire planet.
00:25:13.619 --> 00:25:18.439
Yeah, well, I reason I brought that up because not everybody can do what you do because not everybody has that ability.
00:25:19.019 --> 00:25:28.919
And my experience with you to get into that a little bit was you write you like we had like this life coaching session before, which really kind of set it up.
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:32.000
And then, you know, we had a little debriefing afterward.
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:38.679
So it's more than just like, you're just going to have this experience and then it's up to you to just kind of figure it out.
00:25:38.899 --> 00:25:44.179
You're bringing in guides, you're doing a life coaching thing like, what are you looking to get out of this?
00:25:44.339 --> 00:25:47.319
And then after you do it, you know, what did you get out of this?
00:25:47.619 --> 00:25:49.339
So again, going back to my life.
00:25:49.399 --> 00:25:59.439
So what thing I might have a past life experience to remember, you know, I was an Indian woman and whatever, and I had this day and then this is the way I died.
00:25:59.919 --> 00:26:01.719
But how does it impact me now?
00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:03.639
What's the message from that?
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:12.679
Because my understanding is when you do get a past life, a memory, it should have some application to the life you're living now.
00:26:12.819 --> 00:26:15.219
It shouldn't just be like just totally random for no reason.
00:26:15.859 --> 00:26:16.000
Right.
00:26:16.179 --> 00:26:16.479
Absolutely.
00:26:16.779 --> 00:26:22.899
I always want it to be a usable tool, a piece of information that's applicable to your life now.
00:26:23.659 --> 00:26:27.539
And the joke I always make is like, unless you're an archaeologist who cares, right?
00:26:27.919 --> 00:26:28.079
Right.
00:26:28.619 --> 00:26:29.099
History is cool.
00:26:29.459 --> 00:26:31.639
And it'd be like, oh, I was in this time period.
00:26:31.979 --> 00:26:33.559
Well, what's the takeaway?
00:26:33.740 --> 00:26:35.019
How do you take that home?
00:26:35.299 --> 00:26:35.459
Right.
00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:40.279
And there are a ton of books out there about people's past life stories.
00:26:40.659 --> 00:26:44.259
Like, it's like, and then he was a pirate and he remembered this and he remembered that.
00:26:44.459 --> 00:26:46.259
Like, I remember feeling curious.
00:26:46.339 --> 00:26:48.919
I was like, well, how did he take that pirate home?
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:49.979
Right.
00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:52.659
Did he use, how did he use that in his life today?
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:59.259
So that's why it felt really important for me as in my coaching practice to kind of develop that.
00:26:59.259 --> 00:27:12.719
And when I wrote my book, to really let it be a tool, a guide, like how to figure out how to navigate this life, the life we're living right now, and the future that we're creating actively with our choices.
00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:14.699
That's what matters the most to me.
00:27:14.959 --> 00:27:15.799
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:27.419
So like I said, that's what I wanted to really to bring out from the experience that I have with you is that I really appreciated that framing and kind of the way the session went, the whole arc of it.
00:27:28.099 --> 00:27:32.059
And it wasn't just like, it wasn't just remembering random things.
00:27:32.259 --> 00:27:37.459
And that was able to help me kind of take these things and plug them in to like, what are we doing?
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:46.399
And again, we talked about beforehand, which I think set it up to like, these are the types of things that you need, the things that you need, right?
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:51.079
That's what we really want to know is what is it that I need to know now to apply to my life today?
00:27:51.659 --> 00:27:52.500
Right, right.
00:27:52.719 --> 00:27:53.359
Yeah, yeah.
00:27:53.819 --> 00:27:55.139
And the answer is all I within.
00:27:55.139 --> 00:27:59.019
You know, I think that that's what's surprising to most people.
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:00.339
They're like, where did I get that?
00:28:00.459 --> 00:28:01.759
It's like right under the surface.
00:28:02.019 --> 00:28:04.799
If you just watch and know exactly where to focus.
00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:08.019
And again, it comes from your guides as well.
00:28:08.259 --> 00:28:09.399
They're facilitating it.
00:28:09.639 --> 00:28:16.259
But you know, we go ask advice of other people all day when literally the answers lie right within us.
00:28:16.439 --> 00:28:18.399
We already know we have these tools.
00:28:19.339 --> 00:28:22.199
And we've been old and wise many times too.
00:28:22.399 --> 00:28:47.639
I started thinking about that like we're thousands of years old and we've had so many different variety of life experiences like if we can use that to navigate, you know, our lives today and also help contribute to the what's going on collectively in the world, which is, you know, requiring a lot of us, you know, to grow and change and evolve.
00:28:47.719 --> 00:29:04.039
So yeah, that's it was really important to me that it not just be like past life tourism or, you know, you're floating on a cloud and tripping out on what your details were of life to actually have it be a usable piece of information for your life today.
00:29:04.500 --> 00:29:05.719
And we talked a little bit early.
00:29:06.059 --> 00:29:09.479
You mentioned that hypnosis and meditation are very much alike.
00:29:10.199 --> 00:29:18.819
So a lot of us such people like myself who are control freaks might be like, okay, first of all, I don't know if I could be hypnotized.
00:29:18.979 --> 00:29:22.459
And secondly, I don't know if I want to be hypnotized because I'm going to be out of control.
00:29:23.459 --> 00:29:29.719
So just to share my experience with the couple times I've done this, it's not like you're out of control.
00:29:29.719 --> 00:29:37.939
It's not like you're, you know, you're taken out of your body or anything that I found it to be just deeply, deeply relaxing.
00:29:39.139 --> 00:29:45.500
And it was interesting because, you know, I would go into when I went into it, I'm again, I'm a control freak.
00:29:45.539 --> 00:29:46.679
I'm a very analytical person.
00:29:46.679 --> 00:29:55.659
So I'm trying to like, okay, let's not try to overanalyze this and if this is right, if this is correct, you know, for the time period or whatever, I was just trying to go with it.
00:29:56.179 --> 00:29:59.899
But I did find myself like when when you said, okay, it's time to come back.
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.779
I'm like, if you would ask me how long it had been, I had no idea.
00:30:04.500 --> 00:30:07.159
I didn't know if it was 45 minutes or two hours.
00:30:07.539 --> 00:30:09.719
It just, I totally lost track of time.
00:30:10.419 --> 00:30:13.119
Yeah, that's actually one of the ways that I asked people.
00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:15.219
They're like, how do I know I did it right?
00:30:15.399 --> 00:30:18.299
Or if I went somewhere, I'm always like, what time do you think it is?
00:30:18.500 --> 00:30:20.119
Yeah, never right, right.
00:30:20.579 --> 00:30:27.500
So, you know, and it's interesting that you describe if you if you feel like you don't want to lose control.
00:30:27.659 --> 00:30:29.699
First of all, you're you're always in control.
00:30:29.979 --> 00:30:32.279
You never give up control to another person.
00:30:32.699 --> 00:30:38.179
These people who demonstrate hypnosis on stage that make people bark like a doctor, quack like a dog.
00:30:39.159 --> 00:30:43.099
They're doing that because those people have volunteered to do that.
00:30:43.399 --> 00:30:44.059
Right, right.
00:30:44.379 --> 00:30:48.099
You're one of those people in the audience who are like, there is no way I'm going to bark like a dog.
00:30:48.099 --> 00:30:48.779
You wouldn't.
00:30:48.779 --> 00:30:52.039
And you're also not the person the hypnotist would choose.
00:30:52.439 --> 00:30:58.299
That's part of the talent in that kind of hypnosis is choosing the person that's like, oh, I'd like to do it.
00:30:58.759 --> 00:31:02.899
But also there's a certain kind of like rapport and trust.
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:10.559
Like, you know, you're letting yourself open up into your unconscious mind, you know, with a guide.
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:11.099
Right.
00:31:11.679 --> 00:31:23.919
So if there's somebody who like for example, like if you're getting like a massage and the massage therapist has like a little bit of like a creepy vibe, you know, you're maybe not able to kind of relax as fully into the massage.
00:31:24.299 --> 00:31:24.399
Right.
00:31:24.439 --> 00:31:32.359
So it's it's about having a trustworthy person and the way I'd navigate that is by being trustworthy.
00:31:32.419 --> 00:31:32.919
Right.
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:33.379
Yeah.
00:31:33.500 --> 00:31:36.879
That you feel is confident that I've walked this path myself.
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:41.619
That's part of why I felt like it was really important for me to do my own past life work.
00:31:41.959 --> 00:31:44.399
And so many memories of my own past lives.
00:31:44.619 --> 00:31:45.740
I've walked this trail.
00:31:46.059 --> 00:31:46.659
I've been there.
00:31:46.659 --> 00:31:49.099
I've I know exactly what it's like.
00:31:49.419 --> 00:31:56.139
So but yeah, you can't can't give, you know, your your control over to anyone else.
00:31:56.459 --> 00:31:59.639
But if you decide you don't want to do it, then you won't.
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:01.399
Yeah, it is.
00:32:01.539 --> 00:32:07.000
It's a lot like guided meditation, where it's up to you how deep you want to go into it.
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:15.740
Yeah, I really like the way that you talked about the different clairs, the different way people feel things because or experience things, I guess I should say.
00:32:16.779 --> 00:32:32.319
Because when I first heard about this, and I've done some facility after death communications and stuff like that, I think the expectation is like, it's like, you're going to be like there and it's going to be visible and you're going to feel the sun on your face and all that kind of stuff.
00:32:32.859 --> 00:32:34.899
That's not the way that I experienced it.
00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:40.859
And you also open me up to saying you might just know something or you might just have a feeling about something.
00:32:41.259 --> 00:32:46.839
So to trust that as opposed to it's all going to be visual or it's all going to be auditory.
00:32:47.299 --> 00:32:57.339
Yeah, I think that for some reason, as human beings, we think that what we see makes something more real than we feel or know or sense or smell.
00:32:57.659 --> 00:32:57.759
Right.
00:32:57.819 --> 00:33:11.619
Where we have five senses, we have many more like the ESP is not extra sensory perception isn't just one way we perceive there's many ways we can perceive.
00:33:12.199 --> 00:33:15.119
So yeah, a lot of people do kind of just know it.
00:33:16.099 --> 00:33:18.259
That's called claircognizance, clairsentience.
00:33:18.500 --> 00:33:20.419
I'm also claircognizant, clairsentient.
00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:21.839
It can be harder to trust.
00:33:23.459 --> 00:33:26.359
And then again, the clairvoyance kind of can come with that.
00:33:26.459 --> 00:33:35.119
But sometimes people have to take a leap of faith and are like, well, my guts telling me this is where I am and you did a really good job of kind of letting it flow and not shutting it down.
00:33:35.159 --> 00:33:36.979
But it didn't start from the gut.
00:33:37.419 --> 00:33:42.279
And then from there, I think that you were able to kind of see and feel other things as well.
00:33:42.859 --> 00:33:51.159
It's not like being in a movie or, you know, being in a time portal where this yeah, singing in the sun's on your face.
00:33:51.159 --> 00:33:54.099
But, you know, it's different for everyone.
00:33:54.779 --> 00:34:07.139
Yeah, and I guess I think that's really important because it's setting expectations going in because I've done other types of things before and I'm like, well, I didn't get anything, you know, and other people are like, oh, yeah, I saw this or I felt this.
00:34:07.619 --> 00:34:14.099
And after the years that I've been doing this work and talking to a lot of people who are mediums, I know mediums experience things differently.
00:34:14.099 --> 00:34:25.240
So, a lot of us think that mediums, it's like your loved one comes in and sits down in front of them and they can look at them and describe what they look like and they hear their voice and that's not the way mediumship works.
00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:28.940
It's really learning to trust those more subtle senses.
00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:42.639
So, I think that's why it worked better for me this time, maybe than even last time because of the way you set that up for me by saying it doesn't have to be this way, you know, and more trusting what you're feeling.
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:56.260
Yeah, again, we have many ways to experience psychic information and I start using these terms with my clients like clairvoyant, claircognizant and they're like, well, I'm not a psychic.
00:34:56.920 --> 00:34:59.099
My response to that is, but you're a human being.
00:34:59.579 --> 00:35:00.000
Yeah, yeah.
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:01.400
All human beings are intuitive.
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:03.820
It's a matter of learning how it works for you.
00:35:03.900 --> 00:35:10.199
Not all of us are mediums and, you know, I'm not a medium in the way that, you know, John Edward is a medium.
00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:12.119
I actually get things from your guides.
00:35:12.940 --> 00:35:19.860
It's a matter of just kind of learning how it works for you and anybody who's interested can develop those skills.
00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:29.519
And I think one of the most powerful side effects of doing a passive regression is you kind of get a guided tour of your unconscious mind and a lot more confidence.
00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:35.340
Like I am somebody who gets those gut feelings or sometimes I'll see things that happen, right?
00:35:35.539 --> 00:35:41.699
So that's kind of the intuitive development portion of, you know, doing a regression.
00:35:41.699 --> 00:35:45.240
It has a lot of benefits, but that's also an additional one.
00:35:45.659 --> 00:35:46.360
Yeah, absolutely.
00:35:46.980 --> 00:35:54.559
And I have done a little bit of mediums for training, nothing formal, but I've taken a couple things from friends and mediums I've sat in on a couple things.
00:35:55.460 --> 00:36:03.179
And for me, you know, when I did get hits and I got a couple that were pretty incredible, I just totally felt like I was making it up.
00:36:03.619 --> 00:36:07.740
And I was almost embarrassed to say it because I'm like, okay, I'm just making this up.
00:36:07.900 --> 00:36:10.519
But then they were like, yeah, that's right, you know.
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:15.699
So that helped me a little bit to understand, okay, maybe I should trust this.
00:36:16.300 --> 00:36:22.940
And in my experience with you, I had a memory because the first thing I had to do was have a childhood memory.
00:36:23.380 --> 00:36:26.760
And I was telling you, I don't remember much before about the age of eight.
00:36:27.179 --> 00:36:34.260
And I went back to like it was three, which was really kind of surprising because I don't remember.
00:36:34.499 --> 00:36:37.400
I mean, I know those memories are there, but I just can't, I can't access them.
00:36:38.099 --> 00:36:41.340
And then I had a couple different lives that I had.
00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:45.360
One was pretty historically accurate.
00:36:45.579 --> 00:36:47.460
There were some things about it that were that were off.
00:36:47.740 --> 00:36:51.720
But like a couple things are really and the other one wasn't so historically accurate.
00:36:52.140 --> 00:36:53.480
So it doesn't it does.
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:56.559
And I want to say to people, it doesn't mean that you're going to get everything right.
00:36:56.700 --> 00:37:00.220
You're going to say it's June 23rd, 1865.
00:37:00.579 --> 00:37:03.079
And this is the day that Lincoln was shot or something.
00:37:03.340 --> 00:37:04.039
Right, right.
00:37:04.140 --> 00:37:04.559
It's true.
00:37:04.700 --> 00:37:09.360
Yeah, I mean, the names and dates and places can sometimes be tricky.
00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:19.480
But as long as you get enough enough of the pieces that you feel that you understand that's the time period you're in without worrying about all of the details.
00:37:19.780 --> 00:37:22.079
And I get people that do kind of overthink this.
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:30.099
Like I think I told you during our session, I had a guy I worked with one time who was like, were cars invented in 1903?
00:37:30.579 --> 00:37:32.680
Because I said car and it's 1903.
00:37:33.099 --> 00:37:33.360
Right.
00:37:33.460 --> 00:37:37.660
It's kind of like to to not worry about all of those kind of details.
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:41.120
But I do remember your childhood memory.
00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:47.680
I think it was when your brother was a baby, but you just said, you said I have Buster Brown shoes on.
00:37:48.760 --> 00:37:51.160
See those kinds of like details.
00:37:52.700 --> 00:37:54.280
And you just knew you were three.
00:37:54.660 --> 00:37:57.960
You didn't have to go and ask somebody if you were three.
00:37:58.079 --> 00:37:58.599
You just knew.
00:37:59.200 --> 00:38:00.519
Right, right, right.
00:38:00.620 --> 00:38:03.579
There's a knowing and seeing and a feeling.
00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:04.980
And it's kind of a combination.
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:06.500
So yeah, yeah.
00:38:06.500 --> 00:38:19.200
I guess the advice of giving the people if you're thinking about doing this and again, like someone like me, really starting to try to learn to trust yourself and don't and don't overthink it and don't feel like everything has to be right.
00:38:20.380 --> 00:38:23.840
There have been some people that have gotten really super specific stuff.
00:38:24.820 --> 00:38:33.240
But I don't think and you can tell me that's probably not the usual experience where someone's going to get everything historically accurate.
00:38:33.620 --> 00:38:41.000
I do occasionally get people who send me like a newspaper clipping that they believe was their own obituary.
00:38:41.500 --> 00:38:44.039
Yeah, I'll say a date that lines up with.
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:55.140
There was one woman I worked with one time who was describing the working with developing the vaccine because it was bulk or whatever.
00:38:55.360 --> 00:39:01.019
But and she said a few things details that were like, Whoa, that that was what happened, right?
00:39:02.940 --> 00:39:06.820
So and she also worked for a pharmaceutical company.
00:39:07.940 --> 00:39:10.440
So, you know, there's stuff like that.
00:39:10.660 --> 00:39:17.680
And I as far as clinical evidence, scientific evidence that this person's past life was real.
00:39:18.480 --> 00:39:21.260
I don't know if we can ever definitively do that, right?
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:41.000
Empirical evidence, which is, I think, substantial enough that for me, it's kind of like, Oh, you know, if you describe this scene and there's a newspaper clipping that describes the car accident that you described, the make the model of the car, who you were in the car, right?
00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:47.960
To me, that's, you know, but if there's one or two details wrong, does that negate the whole thing, right?
00:39:48.140 --> 00:39:49.820
Because we're remembering it.
00:39:50.019 --> 00:40:03.280
And just like remembering things in this life, sometimes, you know, like in a court proceeding, people will be like, you know, I'm thinking of that scene from My Cousin Vinny, where the woman didn't have the her glasses on, like she didn't see that.
00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:04.420
She didn't see the car.
00:40:05.099 --> 00:40:11.400
You know, that kind of stuff happens because we're humans and we're always operating through our own human filter.
00:40:11.620 --> 00:40:16.660
So it doesn't negate any kind of truth that you thought you find.
00:40:17.220 --> 00:40:20.400
Yeah, and that's the, that's was, I think, that's important.
00:40:20.579 --> 00:40:27.880
That's the point of it that I was making, I guess it's like, it's also, you know, we were talking earlier, spirit time is different.
00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:31.559
You know, if there, you know, there's an argument whether there's time or not in the spirit world.
00:40:31.700 --> 00:40:33.320
There's not even where the time exists here.
00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:38.559
So people say time is an illusion and physicists will tell us that time should run either way.
00:40:38.940 --> 00:40:39.760
So exactly.
00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:46.500
And I think also too that lifetime that you felt wasn't as historically accurate.
00:40:46.780 --> 00:40:51.360
Do you remember I asked you when you said the year I said, would we call that AD or BC?
00:40:51.700 --> 00:40:52.640
Yeah, yeah.
00:40:53.300 --> 00:40:56.780
So maybe that was the detail you got wrong, right?
00:40:56.960 --> 00:40:59.400
Or it's kind of hard to, hard to say.
00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:11.579
But for me, I'm actually more concerned, you know, and my teacher, Brian Weiss will say, you know, because he's an MD psychiatrist, he'll say even if you made it up, it's still true.
00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:13.019
Yeah, right.
00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:21.559
And for me, it's more about kind of the takeaway, but there's also an emotional kind of quality memory.
00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:29.740
The past memories have that if it were projection or fantasy or something you read out of a novel, I think would be difficult to replicate.
00:41:29.740 --> 00:41:31.539
And I always point that out to people.
00:41:31.680 --> 00:41:34.680
I'm like, you know, I don't know if it's real, but you are crying.
00:41:35.660 --> 00:41:44.920
Yeah, you know, I have to say, because the first memory that I had, which was the one that would be called Turkey in today's time, it was okay.
00:41:45.120 --> 00:41:46.099
And I felt it and everything.
00:41:46.640 --> 00:41:49.039
But the second one I had, I actually got really emotional.
00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:57.559
And I was like, why am I, you know, I really couldn't understand why it was so emotional for me.
00:41:57.700 --> 00:42:00.300
So that, and I could, that's the thing.
00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:07.400
It's like, you know, it was interesting because the year I got was the year that, you know, something happened historically in the US.
00:42:07.680 --> 00:42:11.039
And I was a Native American and I actually got the tribe right.
00:42:11.180 --> 00:42:13.860
I got the state wrong from where they would have been from.
00:42:14.620 --> 00:42:16.680
But the state they went to actually did get right.
00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:23.519
And again, that's not the really most important thing, but it was, and it was a, it's kind of, it was a sad life.
00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:26.760
We know it was like, well, sad, I guess, from a certain perspective, right?
00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:32.720
So that one really impacted me a lot, that particular life that I recall.
00:42:33.220 --> 00:42:35.260
Yeah, the grief, the loss.
00:42:36.120 --> 00:42:47.920
Yeah, the, I don't, I don't think you felt angry, but there was a certain kind of, you know, unfairness about what was going on.
00:42:48.039 --> 00:42:49.539
And it really was palpable.
00:42:49.700 --> 00:42:51.820
Yeah, that felt emotionally.
00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:52.480
Yeah.
00:42:54.340 --> 00:43:06.519
So I want to get to your book because, you know, you've written this book, and I want people to understand, you know, if they don't want it, don't get a past life regression necessarily, which I do recommend.
00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:08.200
Tell people about your book.
00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:10.620
Yeah, so my book, actually, I have it right here.
00:43:11.960 --> 00:43:13.800
It is called, Who Do You Think You Are?
00:43:14.340 --> 00:43:18.079
An Interactive Journey Through Your Past Lives and Into Your Best Future.
00:43:19.039 --> 00:43:20.519
And it is really interactive.
00:43:21.140 --> 00:43:36.840
I designed the book to be for people who, regardless of if you had 50 passive regressions or never had one or never even heard of it, that it actually helps kind of open you up to the idea that you can connect with your past lives.
00:43:37.160 --> 00:43:42.019
It kind of teaches you how, it gives you different ideas and different ways to do that.
00:43:42.099 --> 00:43:45.400
It has a lot of journaling exercises and meditations.
00:43:46.620 --> 00:43:50.980
But it really is a book about identity, which is why I called it, Who Do You Think You Are?
00:43:52.039 --> 00:44:07.320
So each of the chapters introduces a certain false identity that we have, that we know are false once we understand that we are not a body, that we're a soul, who incarnates over many, many lifetimes.
00:44:08.019 --> 00:44:18.200
And so by stripping away each of those kind of like things that we're not, we eventually come to the truth of who we are, which is that we're eternal beings.
00:44:19.579 --> 00:44:25.700
The idea came to me when I was thinking about a concept called Neti Neti.
00:44:25.860 --> 00:44:27.400
It's a Buddhist.
00:44:29.160 --> 00:44:30.880
It's I am this and I'm not that.
00:44:31.019 --> 00:44:38.800
And it is a meditation practice where you kind of strip away all of the different things that you cling to that you think are your identity.
00:44:39.900 --> 00:44:50.940
So I start with your name and then your looks, your gender, your race ethnicity, you're not your thoughts, you're not your suffering, you're not anything that you've lost or gained.
00:44:53.079 --> 00:45:08.160
And so yeah, I mean, people say they're really enjoying the book because it kind of becomes a companion to this journey as you want to kind of discover your true identity through your past lives, by way of your past lives, knowing more about yourself.
00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:25.920
And yeah, that's really what I designed it to be is to inspire people to want to start this journey and to kind of help everyone understand what our true nature actually is and that we can actually know that in a very real and practical way.
00:45:26.660 --> 00:45:34.820
And then once you understand who you truly are, that you're a soul, not a body, that you actually see other people that way as well.
00:45:35.539 --> 00:45:57.620
I've always said, I've said this a million times that I think that if everyone everywhere understood how reincarnation worked and actually what past lives are, we would very, very naturally create a society that featured acceptance, love, true equality, compassion, that there is no other.
00:45:57.960 --> 00:46:08.380
Anytime we see someone and assign some sort of otherness to them, you know, in a past life, they were something totally different and they're on their journey and you're on yours.
00:46:09.840 --> 00:46:34.260
So that was, you know, my intention behind that book was to really kind of teach by showing people like see who you were in a past life and then see that these identities that you cling to that are keeping us disconnected and keeping us away from that kind of unity consciousness that we so desperately need to find a way to achieve.
00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:39.660
Maybe not in this life, maybe in a few more lifetimes, we'll eventually get there.
00:46:39.740 --> 00:46:41.860
But what matters is that we're working towards it.
00:46:42.640 --> 00:46:45.220
Yeah, as you were saying, that reminded me, I don't know who it was.
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:57.160
There was a philosopher who came up with a thought experiment and he's like, if you could, when you look at a person, imagine that you can be born in those exact circumstances, then we would have a whole lot more equality in the world.
00:46:57.420 --> 00:46:59.220
We'd have a whole different legal system.
00:46:59.660 --> 00:47:06.760
We'd have a different social safety net because we think of ourselves as who we are in this lifetime where the circumstances we were born into.
00:47:08.079 --> 00:47:12.960
And many of us, some of us can, but many of us can't put ourselves into someone else's position.
00:47:13.559 --> 00:47:20.440
So therefore, we pass a law that says, well, we don't need universal health care, for example, because I have it.
00:47:21.059 --> 00:47:24.340
Because we can't imagine being in the circumstances where we don't.
00:47:25.680 --> 00:47:40.460
So something like this, where you can experience maybe living in a different culture, maybe being a different gender, maybe being in a different class, maybe being a poor person, or being an extremely wealthy person and realizing that that's not the answer, right?
00:47:40.660 --> 00:47:44.380
That you might have lived a lifetime and you were really wealthy and you were miserable.
00:47:45.079 --> 00:47:45.900
Yep, that's right.
00:47:46.380 --> 00:47:50.300
It is the idea that, like, you are another me, right?
00:47:50.980 --> 00:47:54.440
And I do kind of guide people through that in the book.
00:47:54.559 --> 00:48:01.180
There's so many different exercises where it's like, okay, uncover a past life memory and then make a slideshow.
00:48:02.620 --> 00:48:06.019
I mean, I just revealed how old I am slideshow.
00:48:06.380 --> 00:48:11.039
We used to make those pictures for slides and then you'd show your friends the slides from your trip.
00:48:12.300 --> 00:48:19.579
Make a slideshow about that past life and tell people about it where you were in a different country, a different time period.
00:48:19.680 --> 00:48:20.460
You had different beliefs.
00:48:20.460 --> 00:48:21.760
You had different experiences.
00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:28.460
And then eventually what that leads us to is that these experiences of being human are universal.
00:48:29.240 --> 00:48:34.980
Regardless of if we're rich, poor, black, white, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, right?
00:48:35.519 --> 00:48:48.260
And doing this work can kind of strip away those identities that we cling to that do keep us stuck in that ego self where other people are not us, that tribalism.
00:48:48.539 --> 00:48:49.680
Yeah, yeah.
00:48:49.680 --> 00:48:50.579
Exactly.
00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:57.860
Is there anything that I didn't get around to ask you that you'd like to talk about?
00:48:59.500 --> 00:49:01.000
Not that comes to mind.
00:49:01.300 --> 00:49:07.640
I mean, I absolutely loved working with you because I just loved your approach to it.
00:49:07.780 --> 00:49:11.320
It was such a practical down-to-earth approach as you do everything.
00:49:11.740 --> 00:49:22.360
But you had such an open mind and I thought that your regression was like super beautiful and I've been meaning to ask you if you wanted to do it for a while.
00:49:22.539 --> 00:49:27.140
So I was really excited that you were willing to and to share about it too.
00:49:27.640 --> 00:49:28.900
Yeah, no, it was great.
00:49:29.099 --> 00:49:44.840
And what I did because of the person I am, I took the transcript of our session and I put it into AI and I interacted with it and kind of journaled and then just created this whole thing that kind of did a really great job of like it did the historical matches for me.
00:49:45.180 --> 00:49:46.820
So it was like, this is a match.
00:49:46.820 --> 00:49:48.320
Isn't so much of a match.
00:49:48.480 --> 00:49:51.220
It came up with the themes that were there.
00:49:51.660 --> 00:49:53.079
So connected to each other.
00:49:53.440 --> 00:49:53.539
Yeah.
00:49:54.079 --> 00:49:57.220
So I really got a lot out of it.
00:49:57.240 --> 00:49:58.800
So I want to thank you for doing that.
00:49:58.940 --> 00:50:11.180
And I also want to encourage people if you're thinking about it and you're kind of on the fence and you wonder again, if it's at all scary to you or something, I would say, give it a shot.
00:50:11.360 --> 00:50:13.360
I've done it a couple of times now.
00:50:13.440 --> 00:50:23.720
Like I said, the experience with you because of your unique set of skills, you know, being a life coach and being an intuitive think that just really added a whole lot of value to it.
00:50:23.720 --> 00:50:24.780
Oh, I'm so glad.
00:50:25.019 --> 00:50:25.480
I'm so glad.
00:50:25.599 --> 00:50:26.960
Yeah, yeah.
00:50:27.300 --> 00:50:27.579
Yeah.
00:50:27.900 --> 00:50:31.760
Well, it's great to see you again and have a good afternoon.
00:50:32.280 --> 00:50:33.160
Thank you so much.
