Saturday Sharon (my housemate) had her first workshop in her office.............Past Life Regression and Retrieval of Lost Aspects From Past Lives. These past lives were something that we are still carrying the emotion from and need to clear it to keep progressing. There were 4 of us there which made it nice and cozy.  We did some third eye exercises with guided visualization.  She hypnotized us but it wasn't like she'd hypnotized me before. It was more like a guided visualization with a Guide holding our hands as we went into a meadow. It was very visual for me both times that we did it. And she assured us that we can all do the same thing ourselves. 

The first time my Guides were Buddy Red Bow holding my left hand and Maitreya holding my right hand and I walked from the meadow through an archway into a past life. I looked down and saw that I had on sandals, then saw that I was wearing a long robe type garment with a rope type sash around the middle. I had a staff in my hand and then I saw that I was tending sheep in a grassy, hilly area and that it was very peaceful there.  I was around 19 or 20 and male.  I asked my Guide where I was and he said Judea.  Then I asked my Guide what my name was and he said Mikah.  Sharon then said to see how we died. A band of thieves came along and took my sheep, knocked me down and crushed my head with a large rock.  Then we were to see if we needed retrieving.  Yes, Mikah was still tending his sheep. I approached him and started talking to him telling him that his family was waiting for him. I understood that Mikah had felt he'd failed his family when the men came and took the sheep, so he was still tending them. I turned into the Light and he saw his parents and brothers and sisters and had a very joyous reunion. As he went off with them, I gathered his essence into my heart center which gave me a very loving emotion. Then Sharon guided us back into the room.  In discussing this afterwards, I realized that I had a part of me that was always feeling like I was being taken advantage of and people taking things from me. I feel very good about this retrieval and I now understand where my feelings came from.

The second time was very emotional.  This time in the meadow, Buddy was still holding my left hand, but it was Jukro, my praying mantis type ET who was holding my right hand. When I saw Jukro, I felt that this one would be different.  We walked through the archway and I looked down and saw that I was an alien that looked a lot like the alien in the movie "Enemy Mine".  I thought, oh cool, as I fell in love with that movie when I first saw it and have watched it many times with a feeling of longing, but not knowing why.  Then I started feeling the fear that the alien was feeling, a very deep fear.  I was female and I knew I had 3 children waiting for me in my home. I asked where I was but didn't get an answer. I asked what my name was and heard something like Oooomgah, then realized that it was unpronouncable in English. So I asked for something that I could understand and finally got Myla.

Then Sharon said to see how we died.  I saw Myla running to her home to be with her children and then saw her with her arms(?) around them, holding them, and then everything exploded and they all died. Sharon then said to see if they needed retrieving.  I looked and Myla was still holding onto her children. She was stuck but they weren't.  Somehow I was able to communicate with her and told her that her children and husband were waiting for her and to look at the Light which I again became.  She did and there was a joyful reunion.  As I gathered her essence into my heart center, I was overcome with emotion and was crying.

So many things came together at once.  Myla's race was the native race on the planet and the killers were the race that wiped them out, just as the white man tried to do to the native races here on Earth.  Back in 1987 when I developed an intense interest in Indians and started reading and reading and reading, I was so amazed and outraged at what we (whites) had done to the Indians.  Now it was all coming together for me. I have a lot to think about with this.

I've tried to find past lives of mine before without any luck. Now I know I can do it with the same visualizations I did today.

Marilyn,
Thanks for sharing 2 of your past lives, they were really helpful in recognizing where some of our/my fears might come from that seem unreasonable in our/my currently focused life. I’m also glad that your experience included the one from another dimension.  A great example/reminder that we are quite larger than we generally acknowledge in this world.
Awhile back (about ten years ago), when I decided to do a past life recall with a hypnotherapist, he asked me what I was looking for with the session? I told him, since I was feeling pretty vulnerable, I needed to get in touch with one that would reassure me rather than deal with one that I would find out that I was one of Hitler’s henchmen etc. or in other words, “heavy duty”.  I got in touch with that of living as a Native American woman on the east coast before the Europeans and it was indeed very reassuring. It explained why I was able to embrace a very loving, humanitarian, and, I might add, a very radical, at that time and this, way of working with my 3 sons (T. Gordon’s, Parent Effectiveness Training) within 24 hours of reading it. My main point here is that I learned that I could place an “intention” on my past life experience. I could ask for one that would reassure me, whether it came to me in dreams or guided meditation, or one that would address a particular fear or repeated experience etc. that I might be having. I think that’s pretty neat.
Thinking about past lives and reincarnation, ever since I was first introduced to Joan Grant’s work, I kind of envied her and her ability to recall many of her past lives just through memory and some intentional discipline.  As a result, it seemed that all she had to do was to type the most “interesting” (relevant for her time and culture) lives out and have them published. She became a best selling author in Great Britain as a writer of “fiction”.  I imagine that many other writers are doing the same thing but they don’t realize that all they are actually doing –is remembering and adding some ethnocentristic embellishments.  Has anybody else heard of her?
She also had the ability to remember the work (during WWI) that she did at night, while obe, and on one occasion, even met one of the soldiers that were at the battlefield, during her obe the previous night-at her breakfast table.  Interesting lady!   8)

Romain, thank you for your very loving comments.  Yes, it is amazing how freeing something like this is. 

Jkeyes, I'm very happy that this helped you to recognize some of your/our fears. And I do have Joan Grant's book "Far Memory" but haven't read it yet. I have soooo many books to read right now. It's hard to know which is next. Sometimes I get several going at once. LOL

Freebird, have you read Bruce's books?  In there, he talks about retrieving aspects of ourself from this and past lives. We, in this present incarnation, are a product of ALL our past lives.  Sometimes we get stuck and have to retrieve these. I don't really know how to explain to you (I used to wonder too) how we can have an aspect 'lost' and still be here in this body.  First of all, you have to remember that we are more than our physical bodies.  We are spiritual beings have a human experience. Our souls are greater than anything the human mind can imagine.  AND, all lives are taking place NOW. There really is no linear time; therefore there is no time. Everything that has ever happened and ever will happening is happening now. It's a matter of where our focus is.  I know, it's really hard to understand.  Anyway, it's not only possible to retrieve aspects from 'past lives' and still be here in the physical. Maybe someone else can explain it all better than I can. 

With Love,
Mairlyn   

Thanks for the link Herb. Yes, so much is to be learned from past life regression.

Freebird:
You said:  Either your soul is in one place, experiencing one life, or it is somewhere else, experiencing something else.  It can't be both simultaneously, or else it is two different souls, because each field of consciousness is by definition a separate entity.

I say that we are SO much more than we think we are. Yes, our soul can be many places at once. This is not something that I can explain to you. As Bruce has said, the only way to KNOW things for sure is to experience them yourself. 

with Love,
Mairlyn 

You know, it seems like I've read so many afterlife books now and I always learn something from them.  I'm reading Rosie McKnight's "Soul Journeys" now and I already know everything that I've read in her book so far, but it helps one to have even more confirmation.  Gordon's book was such a delight to read with his wonderful humor, or is that Henry's?  LOL  So I know I'll eventually read "Far Memory" too.

And I agree that Freebird does make a great "central negative" through his questions and statements. They get one to thinking and expanding even more. Thank you for being here Freebird.    And everyone as everyone keeps this board running.

Love,
Mairlyn
