Marilyn still needed to understand why the people she thought were her parents really weren’t. A spiritual teacher from the Light was enlisted to provide her with information about how and why this happened. She learned that her parents had done what they thought was best for her, and perhaps they had little choice and were somehow forced to do this by the owners of the house. Knowing this, she was able to forgive them also.
As is generally the case, important people in that Argentinean life also played significant and even metaphorical roles in her life as Marilyn. Alice, her mother then, lived several doors down from Marilyn and was her best friend—also named Alice—for years. The father, Joseph, was her late ex-husband who activated this imprint when he hit her in that very spot with a cast-iron frying pan. Frederick was again literally by her side when he lived right next door to her during the time of the awakening of the energetic wound, the wound which would eventually manifest in the physical. Interestingly, his name is Mark, as if he were marking the spot, the issue, for Marilyn to heal in this lifetime. The woman whom she thought was her mother then is Mark’s wife. Her foster father reincarnated as her father this time around. This seems a little complicated, but it is a good example of how a small group of souls work together lifetime after lifetime in different roles to transform their negative patterns so that they might learn from each other and grow spiritually.
There were other correlations between that life and this one—the oranges and even the mare she was so fond of. Perhaps one of those in that lifetime which seemed familiar to her was her grandfather who gave her oranges as a treat. Marilyn was also amused by the fact that while she was growing up, her nickname was Mare!
Marilyn continues to heal and the process is now accelerating. This part of the healing was completed, but after we were done, we both sensed she still had more forgiveness work to do with her late ex-husband. She has decided to use the 40-Day Forgiveness Prayer. The hole in her side is now completely healed after fourteen months. Perhaps when she completes the 40-Day Prayer, the pain in her hip, on the side where she was poked and hit, will stop also.
STACEY—FOOD CANNOT MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER
This was Stacey’s second regression. The first is reported later in the book in Chapter 6 on relationships. In this session she chose to discover the source of her weight issue so that she might change an unhealthy pattern that causes her to be heavier than she desires.
As we began, Stacey quickly found herself back in ancient Italy as a female in her twenties. Some of her first words were, “I am huge, and my family calls me disgusting and gross. They call me horrible names.” Her family shut her in a room by herself and came only to bring her food that was not intended to nourish her but to be a punishment that was an outlet for their anger. Somehow making her big made them feel better.
While they used food as a means of torture, this girl used it to make herself feel better. For some reason they thought she could take abuse. (In this part in the regression I had to ask her subconscious to translate her words as she was thinking them in Italian, a language she does not currently know.) This young woman was the youngest of many children, and her parents did not want her. They did not have much income and blamed her for their money problems; all of them, even her brothers and sisters, blamed her. The oldest sister was “the worst.” Stacey recognized this sister as her maternal grandmother, the one for whom Stacey had been her guardian in the last part of her life. You can see here that in current times these two were playing out a reversal of roles in a way that allowed for a higher learning.
Imprisoned in this room, she felt sad and alone. We used the technique of looking at this situation from above, and she was easily able to understand that it was not her fault that she was born. By learning this, Stacey recognized on a deeper level that food cannot make you feel better. With probing, she acknowledged that she was holding anger in her stomach, just below the heart area and all the way down to the intestines. The color of this energy was black. (Black or gray energy often indicates a dark energy of some kind and is sometimes not our own. Also energetic blockage of the intestines could easily cause an accumulation of weight in the physical body.) We identified it as belonging to her older sister’s/grandmother’s energy and did a clearing to remove it. Stacey also recognized that she was holding her own anger, red in color in her heart. (Red energy held in the body or aura frequently represents anger.) Her energy was sent into the Light for purification so that she will be able to reclaim it in current time.
She was, then, able to understand at a soul level that her family needed this outlet to make them feel better, although she did not condone the way in which they chose to do it. Stacey completed the work by doing the necessary forgiveness—forgiving the members of her family and herself.
As a result of the regression, Stacey said that she no longer needs the weight for protection and plans to make appropriate changes in the amount and type of food that she eats.
JACQUELYN’S GENERATIONAL HEALTH PATTERN
Jacquelyn is an ordained minister and lineage holder of the First Church of the Angels established by Dorie and Andre D’Angelo. Since the founders have passed, she has been continuing their Angel work. She is a certified yoga teacher, Breath Facilitator, Reiki Master, Japanese flower arranger/exhibitor, and a sacred dancer. Jacquelyn, an A.R.E. member, has led what were formerly called Venture Inward Angel Healing groups for years.
During the past several years Jacquelyn has had serious health issues which began with gallbladder problems that were corrected by surgery and has suffered several other illnesses since. Just before she came to see me, she twisted her ankle. These health issues, combined with a generational pattern of getting sick and staying sick, were her motivation for this past-life regression.
As further background information, Jacquelyn is part of a group of volunteers who have learned traditional Tibetan Tara dances so that this culture might be preserved. (The Dance of the 21 Praises of Tara is based on Tibetan texts and has been blessed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.) The dance helps to empower all beings and especially brings a sense of acceptance and love of being in a female form. It is believed that all who witness the dances are blessed by the experience. In 2001 she was part of a group of seventy-six women from twenty-three countries who danced in India and Nepal. While performing this dance in public for the Tibetan and other communities there, these performers which included Tibetan nuns gained acceptance and approval to once again dance the prayers. These dances were viewed not only by those in the communities and pilgrims but also by important Tibetan spiritual teachers such as the Karmapa, the head of one of the four major Tibetan Buddhist lineages. As you read about her regression, dancing prayers in public, especially as a woman, has great significance in relation to her health challenges.
We began by focusing on the ankle and some of her other health problems. Jacquelyn quickly recognized that the gall-bladder had a different cause from this group and instead was part of the generational pattern. Therefore, we chose to address the gallbladder only after identifying the cause of the ankle injury. Having done this type of work before, Jacquelyn was easily able to access more than one lifetime at a time. In regressing to the creation of the ankle injury imprint, she remembered being a temple dancer and also recalled having been a dancer in many other lives. However, the life related to her hurting her ankle was one in France in the 1400’s. By concentrating on that one she
