H is for...

1) Hierarchy.  Michael Newton’s books, Journey of Souls/Destiny of Souls, give much information about the age or developmental level of souls. He also describes the “Council of Elders” which every soul meets on their return from a life. Some people find themselves becoming nervous about this as it seems judgemental and hierarchical, but this is actually not the case. Souls may well be at different stages in their learning, but the more advanced souls are in no way better than the less advanced, any more than a child in the final year of school is better than the infant in kindergarten! We are all on the same journey, some of us are a little further along, that is all. And the wise souls who look after us are more like nursery school teachers than policemen or lawyers. This is why the souls who are just a tiny bit ahead of us are called ‘guides’, because they guide and help us.

2)Hypnosis. This is the most recently learnt of my three modalities, and I think it suits me because there is a story-telling aspect to it! Not in the sense that I make up nonsense and put it into peoples’ minds, that would be appalling; but that I have to think on my feet when issues arise for the client, and work out quickly how to help them explain it to themselves, so that it will no longer cause pain. This also uses some of the improvisation skills I learnt at many Drama Summer School sessions.

3)Hepar Sulph is a good remedy for many infective processes. It can help some sore throats, especially if there is pain on swallowing, also pimples/boils and so forth.

More soul information...

It only just occurred to me, in a flash of blindingly obvious insight, that I should let you all know of two sites where you can get lots more information about souls, past lives, and the life between lives. These are:
www.spiritualregression.org  (I am failing spectacularly to make a link, the site does exist, I have done something wrong)which is the official site for Dr Michael Newton's 'Institute for Spiritual Regression', and on Facebook there is a member's group called 'The Michael Newton Institute for Life between Lives Hypnotherapy' where people interested in the subject can discuss it.

Soul Colours

My character Trynor, a spirit guide in "Despite the Angels", is tweeting these days, and has just made a comment about soul colours. This information comes from the work and observations of Dr Michael Newton, who regressed maybe 8,000 people to the "Life between Lives".
He reports that very young souls are bright white, and there is then a progression of colours through yellow to green, to blue and lastly to purple as souls mature and gain wisdom.
There is no virtue in being an 'old soul' compared with a young one, any more than it is virtuous to be in the final year of secondary school compared with being in kindergarten. It is just a matter of time.

We were not all Cleopatra!

     A common criticism from those who are unwilling to consider the possibility of reincarnation is that "Everyone always thinks they were Cleopatra or Attila the Hun". Actually, nothing is further from the truth. The overwhelming majority of past life regressions show very ordinary lives, often as foot soldiers, servants, small farmers, slaves or peasants. If you think about it, this is to be expected - most lives lived today are those of ordinary people, even with our modern culture of 'celebrity'. In the past the proportion of famous to plain would have been even smaller.
     Ordinary lives can provide huge learning experiences. It is not necessary to be be a famous person (today any more than in yesteryear) to experience all of life's emotions. In fact, some of the hardest, and most valuable, lessons have been learned in very humble bodies.
     It is of course possible that reincarnations of well known characters are walking the earth at this time. The famous reincarnate as much as anyone else. In terms of a soul's learning, a life as a king, bishop or film star is no more useful than one as an ordinary 'Joe Soap'. What is 'better than' when in the body is definitely 'the same as' to the soul.
     It is also possible that a person may see themselves in a famous life, not because they were that character, but because something about the character resonates with the modern person's present life. For example, a woman who feels betrayed could see herself as Anne Boleyn. This is not because that person actually was Anne Boleyn, but because the story can clarify to her that she feels as hard done by as Anne must have felt.
     The other explanation is that the modern person may have had a past life in the entourage of the famous.

     Having said all that, I have never regressed anyone into a 'famous life', nor have the dozen past lives I have experienced been of any historical note. But more of them another time!
