Healing a Past Life With Family Constellations

Yesterday the 'VIBES' healing group worked on a family constellation with some variation, deviating from the norm of working with the present to heal the past and set right the future. The person seeking the constellation has chronic knee pain and was regressed earlier to reveal that in a past life she was a very highly placed male, landowner who had beaten to death a worker for some wrong committed by him.

Despite several healing modalities, she is still plagued with painful knees. So we wondered if we could work through this with a family constellation by setting up the stage to enact a scene from a past life. This was a 'victim-perpetrator' kind of situation where she was the perpetrator. We decided to give it a try.

The experience was like any other only we were working with a life already lived. The person representing the 'perpetrator' experienced pain in her legs as if her knees would give way anytime. She also experienced deep guilt, anger and shame at her own behavior. She sought forgiveness of the victim, who had this feeling of' wanting the perpetrator to go down on knees' and ask forgiveness. The perpetrator also desired to seek forgiveness of the wife and family of the 'victim'. As she did this, the pain in her legs began to subside slowly. The facilitator asked her to release all her guilt, shame and sorrow (which she experienced as lump in her throat) and guided her to forgive her own self and release all negative emotions, especially the guilt she was carrying heavily from that birth.

For the 'Vibes' group this was the first experience of working through a past life with a family constellation. It felt no different from any other we had worked on before. It was only working with energies of a past life that were waiting to be released so that healing could occur for both the victim and perpetrator.

There is a strong belief among Native Americans that when an individual heals, seven generations before and seven generations after also get healed. Eventually all that a Family Constellation set up calls for; the release of negative energies that were entangled in a past life so that its affects on the future can be erased and the door ways to healing opened up for all concerned. The beauty of this kind of inner work lies in the profound group healing that is experienced.

All is Choice say the Michael Teachings

Some time in 2005 I attend a Past Life Regression workshop conducted by Dr K Newton of Hyderabad. Dr. Newton, is one of the most unassuming, humble souls I have come across. Both he and his wife, Dr. Lakshmi conduct several workshops on several new age subjects like Rebirthing, Inner Child etc. (See www.liferesearchacademy.com)

During the workshop he spoke to us of Soul Age and remarked that only Mature or Old souls would attend such a workshop! It felt great to hear that remark! He told us a little about Soul Age. The subject seemed awe-inspiring and fascinating. Thanks to Dr. Newton for having led me to something that changed the way I looked at life and brought a great attitudinal shift from within.

Back home that day after the workshop I could not wait to google 'soul age' and get more info on the subject. That's how I came across the Michael Teachings. (www.michaelteachings.com) I got hooked on to the website and soon became a member of their yahoo group. Since then there has been a wonderful exchange of information via the group and the teachings of Michael(s) an entity comprising 1050 souls, channeled by some of the members of the group. The channelings are a great source of information for all seekers of esoteric truths. The website is one that can keep such seekers glued onto for ever!

One of tenets of the teachings that really seemed to resonate with my personal beliefs was that of choice, one that I rarely voiced because I could not validate what I believed, till I read the Michael Teachings. Michael says, "All is choice. All choices are valid. Choices have consequences. We create our own reality through our choices." Once this truth is accepted, a fragment (soul) begins to accept responsibility for all his thoughts, words and actions. Accepting responsibility is, to my mind, the first and most integral step towards soul growth. Without it we feel we are pawns in a game that some higher force other than ourselves is playing, one that leads us to believe we are like puppets on a string, which is far from the truth. We feel it is okay to just stumble through life and not take one step towards finding out more about looking at the bigger picture of what our earthly existence actual means.

Another tenet of Michael that is my favorite is "We are spiritual beings on a human path". This makes a lot of sense, especially when you begin to understand the existence of subtle bodies that cannot be perceived by the physical senses. The physical plane is one of growth through experience and the only one that affords the highest opportunity for soul growth.

We often remark about not having a choice in situations, whereas the actual truth, if we remove the layers of illusion that blind us, will show that the choice was there; it was only we who chose not to make it because we feared the consequences. Either way making a choice or not making it will have consequences. So really there is no such thing as 'not making a choice'. 'No choice' is also a choice!

Of Childhood Bruises and Healing From a Loving Father

None of us ever go through childhood without bruises and bumps received in the rough and tumble of play. Many of them leave scars, some of which are memories of a beautifully spent childhood with loving, caring parents and siblings to ease away the pain and wipe away tears.

I can vividly recall how my father had a wonderful way to help rid me of the pain of a bruised knee or injury from a fall. He had a knack of magically making the pain vanish all in a matter of a few minutes! He would ask me to first show him the injury, ask me to close my eyes, and then proceed with his magic; not that I ever really closed my eyes, I looked at the process through half-open eyes! He would lightly touch the injured part and would hold his other hand a few inches away from the bruised knee then make a circular sweeping movement round it, pretending to collect something in his fist and then make a gesture of throwing it away. He would then ask me to open my eyes and would remark, 'there goes your pain out of the window, look its gone'. And right enough this whole process really and completely relieved the pain! It also seemed so magical and filled me with wonder and awe, a feeling I sadly regret having left behind in childhood.

Now as I read Dr Richard Bartlett's Matric Energetics I look at the whole process as 'two-pointing' and the gesture of 'discarding the pain' with a deft hand movement, as a pranic healing procedure of removing painful energy and allowing fresh energy to replace it and dissolve pain.The whole act was done so playfully as he managed to bring in an element of fun into it to make a little child feel happy, loved and pain-free. When I recall those moments, it feels just wonderful to realize that many a times we do things very matter-of-factly not realizing we are into a process that ' we have learnt before' and held in our memories for recall at the right moment. That is exactly what my Dad did. If he were around and I told him about ME and Pranic Healing he would have laughed it off, being the skeptic that he was! I would have to remind him of his wonderful magic and tell him what exactly he was doing, albeit unknowingly!

After reading Dr Bartlett's book on ME and the ME website, I realize how really important it is for us to never lose track of the 'joy of feeling wonder' and to keep our tabs on that playful aspect of ourselves that gets lost as adulthood catches on. Some time back I read and enjoyed every word of a wonderful article titled: Imagination and Play are FUNdamental in Healing
By Jennifer Buergermeister, that speaks of this, at the following link:

I feel as we go through life we fragment ourselves and lose that wonderfully pristine, child-like energy with our interfering egos! Now it means having to work on ourselves to get back that wonderful sense of awe back.

I wish some Shaman would come and help me retrieve that lost 'soul energy' of play-fullness and once again feel and experience that same 'child-like wonder'. Or may be I could two-point through time travel, accessing the morphogenic field of that time and feel that childhood wonder and play-fullness return to me once again!

Trusting an Intuitive Flash

All through my working life , I was used to doing air bookings via the Internet but making rail booking were a new ball game altogether! You were dealing with the Government after all and therefore, more reason to be filled with apprehensions!

A month back I tried booking train tickets via the internet. The process went through successfully. My confidence doing railway bookings grew, till last week when things just did not work! For some reason or the other things just did not go through as before. This time I thought I would used my debit card instead of my credit card. The failed transaction resulted in the amount being debited to my SB account without the ticket being booked! I tried again with my credit card, but things did not change. After a few calls to the call center I felt relieved that despite the transaction having one far, no amount was debited to my credit card. The confidence I had gained suddenly was at an all time low and I had still to book my return tickets but felt too diffident to try again. I gave up the idea and decided that the best recourse would be to go to the railway station and book the old-fashioned way! I decided I would do this in a couple of days as there were plenty of berths available for the journey I had planned.

Then yesterday while cooking the morning meal, a thought suddenly flashed, a voice all too insistent said that I keep my cooking aside and switch on the computer and do my booking. I hate giving up tasks mid way in order to get on with others, but today was just different. It felt as if a voice in my head kept saying 'do it now' and it got louder and louder. I tried to ignore it, but it got the better of me and within fifteen minutes I had switched on the system and opened irctc.co.in and lo and behold the transaction was over and done with. I was able to get a confirmed booking, all within a matter of less than 5 minutes! I was pleasantly surprised and relieved. There would be no need to step out of home to do the booking, something I just abhor, especially when the heat of the day gets the better of you.

Many a times we ignore a hunch and take it for granted as just a passing thought. It's only when we pay heed to it that we realise that even if it comes unwarranted, it comes with a reason; it comes to teach us to rely on that something we call 'intuition' that is a gift to all who will trust in it and use it. And slowly but surely as we learn to pay heed to it for its true worth, it grows and grows and becomes an instinctive, intrinsic part of ourselves, exactly what it was intended to be!
