“The benefits I received [from past life regression] were profound…”

I started exploring Hypnosis for Past Life Regression with Stacy just out of curiosity but the benefits I received were far-reaching and profound.  I was surprised to find that if I trusted the process I could readily and easily go back to a past life experience and pick up from that some bit of knowledge or understanding that illuminated the path I am currently on.  I found comfort in realizing that this current life, this experience, this body, this set of actions and reactions is not the be-all and end-all of my existence.  It helped me ease off the idea of striving for perfection and the constant time pressure I used to feel – that feeling of not having enough time to get it all done and need to get it all done perfectly!  It helped me accept my physical body and condition more and have gratitude for the vessel my spirit has been provided – knowing that has been different in the past and that it can and will change in the next life experience.  At the same time, it kind of added a level of sincerity to my efforts and actions in this current life, having realized that I’ve had many past life opportunities and although some of them didn’t amount to much, I get to continue on and try again.  Understanding and gratitude for this softened and deepened my approach to my endeavors and my relationships.  It helped me realize the depth of my connection to all the people around me – the sense that we are all on a journey and that we’ve been connected throughout eternity and will continue on together in one way or another.  Words and actions change when you realize that they don’t just evaporate into thin air once they are spoken or done.  I am very grateful for the experiences I’ve had in Past Life Regressions with Stacy.  In fact, one in particular is very special to me and I sometimes go back to that experience in my mind for stress relief and to focus my energy and regain balance in my life as it is today.

Past Life Hypnosis Workshop

Stacy:

After class last night I was talking with the two women who were at the past lives workshop on Halloween and they said that after the workshop they had discussed their experiences with each other and the conclusion they came to was that they can’t wait to do it again!  I don’t know if they told you this personally so I wanted to be sure to pass it along.  One of them also mentioned that her brother-in-law was interested in coming to the next one as well.  So all in all, it was a great success!

Have another outstandingly successful day!

Love and blessings to you!

Reincarnation – Exploring Aversions As a Link to Past Lives

For as long as I can remember, I have always stood up for the underdog. In fact, I have always experienced a strong visceral reaction anytime I have witnessed someone being disparaged, condescended to, put down, or abused. Although one would hope that I am not alone here, this visceral reaction extends to not being able to tolerate such things in any form whether it be in real life, a fictional story, movies, or documentaries. Furthermore, my visceral reactions have led to verbal confrontations wherein I reacted with no regard for common sense or my own personal safety.

Let me give you an example. As a school kid I rode the schoolbus to school. There was a kid on my bus -let’s call him Wally – who routinely picked on other kids. Without a second thought I stood up to this bully and verbally put him in his place. Much later as an adult living in Bellingham, Washington, I reacted much the same. I had a deaf friend named Michael. One night Michael and I, along with some other friends, went to a night club to go dancing. At the end of the night I was waiting for Michael to come out of the bathroom. When he did, a guy walked up to him and kissed him, then went into the bathroom himself. Michael was freaked out and I was livid. I waited for the guy to come out of the bathroom and I gave him a piece of my mind. Stupid on my part, yes. But the guy was so shocked he just apologized and walked away. Anther time, some friends and I were frequenting our favorite bagel place (also in Bellingham). Some guys were standing outside and began to make very lude comments toward me and my friends. I boldly walked up to them and told them how disrespectful and pathetic they were and to shut their mouths. Again, stupid move on my part. Luckily they too were too shocked to do much but mumble an apology and move on.

I am older, wiser, and more able to have restraint about these things now, especially since I have begun practicing yoga, but I still feel sickened when I hear about or witness any kind of abuse.

Recently I was involved in a discussion that centered around some well-known Iyengar Yoga teachers. According to the speaker, one was reported for fondling a female student. He is still teaching and is apparently still highly regarded as a teacher. Another threatened to hit a student in the head if she failed to position her head correctly in a pose. I was sickened by these reports and blurted out, “These men should be in jail, not getting paid!” My inner rage about this tolerated abuse stayed with me long after the conversation was over.

In my last past life regression in a class with Judy Kovatch I briefly became aware of myself as a male yoga teacher in India. I did not linger there long, but instead came forward in time to a more recent life in Cambridge.

Today I finished watching the movie “Slumdog Millionaire” which was set in India. From the first moment of the movie I witnessed abuse of the protagonist as well as others. I shut it off after about 10 minutes, unsure if I would be able to get through it. I finally watched the rest of it this morning with the same sickened feeling in my stomach throughout the movie.

Add to these two India connections the fact that I am a yogi with no desire to visit India and it begs these questions:
When I lived in India did I experience abuse?  Or was I perhaps a perpetrator of abuse?  If the latter is true, is my extreme sensitivity to mistreatment a part of my working out my karma regarding my past behavior?  And if the former is true, is my extreme sensitivity my way of ensuring that I prevent even the
subtlest form of abuse?

In this life I have not always applied the same conviction for defending the underdog to myself. While it has been easy to stand up to men when I have felt physically or sexually threatened, it has been much harder for me to defend against more subtle abuses – being put down, used, not being paid by clients – especially if the “abuser” was a woman. For some reason in these cases, finding my voice can be very difficult.   Because this is hard for me, it seems like the universe gives me ample opportunities to practice finding my voice and using it on my own behalf.

I would hope that if I found myself in a situation with a yoga teacher – even a highly regarded one – and I was either disparaged, fondled, or physically threatened, I would find my voice and stand up for myself loud and clear.   What I convicted in teaching my students is this:  “Be an authority over yourself.”  “Know and stand up for your own truth.”   I am sure that regardless of the role I played in abuse in a past life, this conviction is part of my working out my past karma.
