Pre-Life Selection: Exploring the choices we made before we were born.

Part of the responsibility of being Spiritual Beings on an Earthly adventure is that
we are the creators of our own lives, we choose our bodies, our families, our teachers, and our relationships, we even plan the challenges that make up our human lives on earth and which guide us to our final graduation from Earth School. A Pre-life selection session is a guided journey through the process as we experience it on the spiritual level. We will explore our memories of first contact with the unborn child and how we came to make the choices that have helped to create our current lifetime, along with all the lessons and teachers and the wisdom that has guided us through our souls’ many journeys. How does this happen? How do we move past the challenges and barriers that appear to keep us from being happy? How does knowing we made the choices and were divinely guided at every step of the way help us keep to our path and open to our own higher wisdom and inner guidance?

I have based this work on the wisdom found in the books by Dr. Michael Newton, author of “Journey of Souls” & “Destiny of Souls” and the book “Courageous Souls” by Robert Schwartz. I was inspired by Rob Schwartz’ words in his book to think about how this kind of knowledge, that we choose the challenges that we face in our human lives, can bring a higher understanding and acceptance of ourselves as the powerful creators of our soul’s journey. Rather than see ourselves as victims of the evil of others, we go through a deliberate process, assisted by and supported by our spirit guides and teachers, to create exactly what will bring us to a higher level of spiritual consciousness. Rob’s book works hand in hand with the books and the work done by Dr. Michael Newton, and using Dr. Newton’s spiritual regression techniques, I was able to put together this very specific modality of spiritual awakening and growth to further understanding ourselves and our soul’s journey.

A pre-life selection journey might be seen as similar to a past life journey in that we use similar techniques to move into the altered states and access the inner guidance, and it takes approximately the same amount of time, 2 hours. However, it is as different from a past life journey as a University is from a village school. Both are places of learning and education, but the pre-life offers far more focus and scope for understanding the choices and opportunities we created and why, and to know the inner self more completely. It is recommended, therefore, that a client experience a past life journey before the pre-life session. The combined work gives one a much deeper understanding of the kinds of choices and contracts that we have made in the past and set up for our current lifetime, and how to value our own inner wisdom and guidance.

Happy 4th of July, 
We have a very special meeting for next Friday, July 11 meeting. Kimberly Clark Sharp will be here. Please, pass this along to everyone you think might be interested.

Kimberly Clark Sharp: 
Author of “After the Light: The Spiritual Path to Purpose”
“Death is nothing to fear - and life without fear can be lived to the fullest."  This is Kimberly Clark Sharp’s message from her extraordinary experience during the time after her heart suddenly stopped beating and she lay on the sidewalk, not breathing, and without a pulse. Swept into a peaceful loving place of brilliant golden light and warm comfort, she saw, for the first time, the meaning of life and death. Kimberly shares her Near-Death Experience and how the NDE touched her and changed her life forever to a life of service.

Guided by a new sensitivity to the presence of angels, and other invisibilities, Kimberly attained a Masters degree in Social Work and began her career that put her in direct contact with dying people and people who almost died and came back. Here Kim was able to collect inspirational stories of other Near-Death Experiencers. Most notability Maria and the now famous account of the shoe on the ledge. 

Maria was brought in unconscious from cardiac arrest. Sharp visited her the following day in a hospital room, at which point Maria described leaving her body and floating above the hospital. Desperate to prove that she  had in fact left her body and was not crazy, she described seeing a worn dark blue tennis shoe on the ledge outside a window on the far side of the hospital. Not believing her but wanting to help, Sharp checked the ledge by pressing her face against the sealed windows and found a shoe that perfectly matched the details Maria had related.

Kimberly Clark Sharp, M.S.W., founded Seattle IANDS over twenty five years ago and has taught at the University of Washington medical school. She has been involved with IANDS since the early years. 
Warm and compassionate, brilliant and witty Kim is a personality you have to hear.

Kiki’s Fish Story: A Past Life Journey Recalled

In 1999 I went to see Thelma Freedman for several sessions o help me deal with a relationship issue in my current life. I was hoping to have a better relationship with two people in my life. We explored several lifetimes that involved the three of us. One of the first ones, however, had a surprise ending which neither of us expected.

I found myself on a beach, not sandy but made of small stones and pebbles, round and smooth. I was with other women and children. Behind us was a low cliff. There was a path or trail that led up the cliff and back to our village. I was a young girl, in my early teens. My sense was this was in Japan hundreds of years ago. Maybe 400’s. I was with my mother and my 2 younger sisters. We were ‘processing’ fish
that the men in the village had brought in that morning. It was our job to gut and clean the fish that the men brought in, and then put them out on racks made of driftwood to dry in the sun. This activity had been going on for many generations at this site. Everything was covered with fish bits and innards,
including us. You can imagine how we smelled!

As we were working 3 men on horses came riding down to the beach. These men were wearing very unusual clothing, almost otherworldly to my village eyes, very colorful and bright! They had weapons and seemed fierce. I knew one owned our village. This meant he owned us, the fish, the boats, our lives. As he rode down towards us on the beach, it was obvious that he was repulsed by us, by how we smelled. I felt an intense wave of shame go through me at the look on his face, it made me feel ashamed of myself and my family.

He told us that he was not getting as much out of us as he wanted. If we didn’t provide more fish and more income for him, he would sell the village and everything in it to the other two men with him. He told us they didn’t want us there, they just wanted the land the village was on. That meant the men had to spend even more time fishing and we had to work harder doing whatever we could to bring him more income.

I was a girl, the eldest child. I was always trying to prove I was as good as any son would be because I knew my father was disappointed that there were no sons. I felt it was my duty to make that up to him. As the firstborn, I should have been a son. But there were rigid rules about male and female roles in the village. I was not allowed to go on the boats or to swim, to do anything but process the fish and help
my mother and sisters. I adored my father and wanted to be like him and it was a constant ache that I was not able to be anything other than another girl.

In the next scene the men were out fishing, even though a bad storm was brewing, and under normal circumstances they would not have risked going out in it. We were all too afraid of losing everything if they missed a day of fishing, so they went out. The storm came up and the boats could not get to shore. All the men and boys of the village had gone out on the boats, and the rest of us were on the beach, watching and weeping. The boats were there, we could see them, but the sky was black, the waves were crashing and tossing them like sticks, and we could not do anything. None of us could swim, there was no way to save them. I couldn’t just stand and watch my beloved father drown, I had to do something. So I tied a rope to an empty wooden barrel of some kind and wrapped the rope around my waist. I intended to tie the rope to the boat so we could draw it into shore. At one point the force of the water tore the rope away from me and I lost the barrel. As I sank into the deep water and drown I felt intense shame and guilt because I failed my father and my family.

All the men drowned, all the boats were destroyed, everything was lost. The village and everyone in it was sold to the men. They took what they wanted, mainly the young girls, and threw everyone else out onto the road. My mother died on the road. My two younger sisters were taken and used by the men. I blamed myself for all that happened to them, as if my failure to swim out to my father?s boat was the cause of their fate.

As we examined that young girl’s lifetime I saw that her two little sisters are the two people in my life today. Her father is a very dear friend. Amazingly enough, the man who owned the village is the man to whom I have been happily married for 30 years in this life. He and I have shared many lifetimes together, in many different ways, some loving and some not so loving. It was also interesting that one of the two men who bought the village is directly involved with the two people and is part of the cause of the problems between us. We started to talk about that and I found I could not share all the information with Thelma, as if it was not my burden to carry anymore. Just by finding the source of it, I release the
sense of shame and guilt. And, I knew it was not my place to fix/heal.

However, there turned out to be another side benefit that neither Thelma nor I expected. When I came back to full body awareness, one of the first things I said was “That is why I can’t stand fish!” Thelma was confused, so I explained. From my infancy I have had a deep aversion to fish, in particular the
smell. I could not stand the slightest hint of the smell, even of fresh fish, it would make me gag. I was so sensitive that I could not stand being near anyone who had recently eaten fish. If I could smell it on them it made me gag. This was such a deep and unconscious part of me that it never occurred to me
to ask about it or think that it might be otherwise. Obviously this was not what we had been focusing on for these sessions, but it became from that session onward, a side benefit. Being able to see the source of that issue, I was able to release the aversion including the physical response to the smell. I can eat fish now. I also enjoy sushi. No one could be more surprised as I am, and my husband Tim is delighted. He is of Norwegian background and grew up eating fish, but out of respect to my sensitivity he would eat it only at when he was on business trips staying from home.

Tim is what I call a “show-me skeptic.” He thinks for himself, but if you can show him something is real, he is open minded enough to allow that it might be so. Sometime after I had set up my practice someone asked Tim what he thought of the work I was doing. He shrugged, in his very low key New Englander manner and said, “Well there must be something to it.” When I asked him to elaborate, he reminded me that I eat fish now. If you asked him if he believes in reincarnation or past lives he will say “Not really.” But, if you ask him if past life regression works as a healing modality, he will say there is something to it because he has seen it for himself.

Dr. Brian Weiss on Oprah Winfry Show

Finally past life regression is getting the public attention is to richly deserves! Dr. Brian Weiss, author of “Many LIves, Many Masters”, among other excellent books on past life regression, appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show earlier this June, demonstrating how past life regression works as a healing modality. He had a volunteer who was guided into a past life that took place during W.W.II. It helped heal some of the relationships in his current life.

I was thrilled because Dr. Weiss is one of my personal heroes - it is his work and reading his books that got me started on this career path in this particular field. I thought it was a wonderful show (and I want my new office to look just like his!). If you want to read more about it, or maybe listen to some of the show go to
http://www.oprah.com/xm/oprah/200702/oprah_20070222.jhtml. It is part of her Soul Series and she is doing a most excellent job! She truly is a lightworker of the highest degree!
