You’ve heard of the Seven Deadly Sins?  But more deadly to the self are these character traits we might have.

Here they are: Fear, Anger, Doubt, Blame, Criticism, Judgment and Self-Pity.

To grow 'spiritually' means that we have to face the 'human' side of ourselves which means all of the above. If we say that growth is the most important thing in our lives, we are saying it is important to eliminate these seven deadly things.

We are all tested in our spiritual growth, and the test of our commitment here is any challenge that comes along, complacency never advanced anybody! If you have no commitment to that spiritual growth, then your challenge will do you no good. They are directly proportional to each other. I'll repeat that: They are directly proportional to each other.

Asking for development in your spiritual life induces challenge and change; so don’t forget this when the going seems tough! The laws of a balanced universe make sure we all induce any needs we have in order to progress, i.e. what we desire is counter-balanced by the above seven deadly traits. So we manifest bad as well as good things into our lives. Like attracts like.

But it works both ways, we can create and dissolve our own experiences this means that the bad character traits prevent the needy prayers functioning, or distort them mostly through lack of humility. Conversely when we are in harmony and have none of the above, particularly fear, all the channels are open to receive the blessings.

We none of us learn from other peoples mistakes as well as our own, do we? We need to get it into our heads that all is fair in a balanced universe, and we can then see that whatever comes is serving a purpose, and the worst thing that can happen is that we won’t like the unpleasant experience when someone is treating us worse that we would like. I have been reminded when moaning to spirit about this because I did just the same thing to another! Be assured our 'higher self' [some call it the conscience] knows what it is doing too. It is not possible for a mistake from that quarter, although ignoring it is possible as we all know! There are no accidents, mistakes or coincidences with the great universal laws, so ... 'do as you would be done by'.

Thoughts are made of energy and prayers travel on the thought ‘wave-length’. Our every thought, word, attitude, belief, feeling and memory is composed of energy. Energy precedes ‘physical matter’ It creates and attracts circumstances, people and conditions, and since like attracts like, the conditions in your life reflect the energies/prayers/thoughts you have sent out , so be careful what you pray for!

You and your whole life are a collection of energy patterns constantly attracting to yourself exact manifestations of the kinds of inner thoughts/ beliefs you have adopted. You have attracted every person and circumstance including playing the ones playing the part of ‘baddy’ in your life, or love you so inadequately that you are driven to seek a better way, a way that gradually brings you back to your destiny - closer to God.

Being free from fear makes you more able to deal with situations without nervousness or anxiety. Living without fear does not mean you are not cautious or alert, it means that you do not react with emotions, which cloud or confuse your responses.

The answer to this whole thing is this; to create the reality you really want, you must do two things:  First all the negative in your life must go, and secondly, reinforce your mental attitude to what you do need, not just want - wanting is lacking trust in God, saying “Thy will be done" and saying it with true meaning removes all ego.

This is a scientific process of removing and/or dissolving energetic patterns. Search your soul for the 'Deadly Traits', and to the degree they are gone, to that degree you will be able to manifest what you want. That balanced universe is at work again…!

THE FOUR ASPECTS

The four aspects of Karma are: Cause and Effect, Compensation, Balancing and Completion.
Through different lifetimes we work through our karmic cycle in order to attain perfection of the soul, which is trapped within five different lower planes. Only when we reach a higher plane are we able to move forward to the next level.

The Five Lower Planes are as follows: The physical plane - this is where you and I are right now. It is also known as the Earth Plane - at this level the body is a physical one and a large amount of karma can be added or erased at this level.

The next plane up is the Astral Plane where the body takes a less materialistic form as, for example with ghosts. We go here immediately following death.

The Causal Plane is higher than the Astral Plane and is where the Akashic Records are kept. These records are complete files on all our past, present and future lifetimes and a medium or clairvoyant may project themselves to this Plane in order to give you a reading. (See article ‘The Masters' - Edgar Cace)

The Mental Plane is the plane of pure intellect and the Etheric Plane follows this Plane where truth and beauty are the ultimate values.

Before each incarnation we are given choices to help us to develop. For instance, if we need to develop intellectually in order to progress, we would select to live on the Mental Plane - if beauty and honesty were the virtues we needed to cultivate most, then our choice would probably be to live on the Etheric Plane, and so on.

If we are mistrustful of people or find it impossible to communicate effectively in this lifetime - we may decide to work on these issues in the future - thus, relationships will be very important factor for you.

It is possible that all the people who are, or have been, important to you in this lifetime, will have also been involved with you in one way or another in past or subsequent lifecycles. When we examine inter-relationships in this way it is often referred to as 'Group Karma'. When we hate someone intensely we attach a Negative Karma to our lifecycle. This must be worked through at a later time in order to evolve spiritually.

On dying we Step Into The Light where our arrival is telepathically communicated to all our departed loved ones, who may choose to welcome us. Guides and Masters are there to advise us and accompany us to the Soul Plane, which lies between the Five Lower Planes and the Seven Higher Planes. Entities that do not Step Into The Light may become Earthbound as Astral Bodies or Ghosts.

Past Life Regression can be used in many ways to help the Karmic process. Visiting former lifetimes and seeing the mistakes that you keep on making can often be quite an eye-opener. You notice that you're still making the same mistakes in this lifetime and this revelation has the effect of making you more consciously aware of what you are doing. And of course, once you're consciously aware of the mistakes you've been making, you're more able to rectify them.

So we understand that Karma is created from the actions of the past, this in the greater context where people are able to use their free will, karma is not just acting on the individuals, but also in the greater context of groups, where villages, towns countries unions etc are concerned. I wonder does it stop there? Why should there be spatial limits?

The Astral body is the body that holds all the records of our actions in all our lives, our character - that part of us we arrive with and also take back to the spirit world, and hope to improve here on the material plain, which is what Karma is all about, improvement.

Every little hurt is a lesson to be more careful, ‘don’t put your finger in the fire’ is one example, and that’s only on the physical.

On the emotional / mental plane the lessons are a bit different. Being unkind, at one end of the scale, and dangerous to all people in our paths at the extreme end of that scale, are lessons for all concerned, victims and perpetrators. Cruelty met with ditto or the opposite are different lessons, aren’t they? What goes round will surely come around!

That we learn best from our failures is so true; to live a ‘charmed’ life is not as terrific as it may seem if that person isn’t learning anything, in the books about between lives here on earth (see Book List No: 25) we are told that we choose the kind of life to live, in not only the families we come into but also the situations that are going to be met. 

Not all the time in every life are our past actions going to catch up with us either, it is my belief that we must remember there is in the soul an accumulation of karma. This makes good sense if we understand that to have a life where no karmic debts are 'paid' - so to speak - then surely they are not going to just float away? 

 
Past karma, which is built into the astral body, manifests sometimes in the circumstances of a life or it may come out in the form of physical ill, depending on the life lessons we have agreed to before we come to this plane of existence. Remember there are no conscripts here, only volunteers! 

Happenings that we so often say to ourselves “Why me?"

 
“Why not?" The Law of Karma says!

 
This is the ‘wake up call’ that is the best method we can possible have to guide/nudge us all into change of either our actions directly or our way of life. 

The law of karma is exact; it is just, perfect, and true. You cannot interfere with karma, but you can assist yourself and your patient to transmute it.  If you or your patients are helped to receive the full inflow of the Christ-Light, s/he will then help themselves; and in that way they will learn by transmutation of karma instead of by means of the particular disharmony.

In so many instances the cause of illness or dissatisfaction lies deep within the soul, and it has been built into the astral body from a past life.

 The purpose of karma...

... is to teach. It’s to give the individual spirit the opportunity to learn lessons, to gain wisdom, to grow in spiritual stature.

If the soul is arrogant (which is so often the trouble), if it will not believe, and is quite sure that it knows, then there is nothing else for it but to walk the allotted path and endure more disharmony.

Yet there are some souls who deliberately choose the way of suffering, but also the choice might be subconscious. Hypnotherapy has a big part to play here and Past Life Regression is the key. 

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the most responsive to change.

Charles Darwin

This is not to say that absent healing on request from a third party is 'out of bounds', we send all healing in Gods name which is love, and so only the healing which is Gods will can be given this way. Healing can simply take the form that a patient is ‘drawn’ to the light, and personal responsibility takes over thereafter.

This is why in spiritual healing, we are told by spirit friends, not to be concerned too much with the physical body, and its manifold aches and pains. To be more concerned with the soul and with the aura of the patient. It is true that the healer, may possess certain magnetic force, or ‘animal magnetism,’ and give temporary relief to the patient, but that is not enough. In spiritual healing you are healing the soul. In time the body will reflect the soul’s health.

We as healers are working, in company with the angels, to supply the missing elements to restore balance, health or wholeness to the soul. We are conductors of these pure spiritual forces, so we ourselves must endeavour to be like the priests and priestesses of old. To attune ourselves by pure living, pure thinking, pure action and right behavior, as a human and spiritual instrument. Striving with all our hearts to maintain good health.

Here are some philosophies from other people:

The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavour ~ Vincent Lombardi

Our Life is what our thoughts make it. Wealth is not only what you have – but who you are. ~ Sterling W Sill

There is no passion to be found in playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living. ~  Nelson Mandela

We are what we repeatedly do, Excellence, then, is not an act - but a habit ~ Aristotle

REGRESSION

This from one of my other websites www.hypnotherapy-in-norfolk.com

Regression takes three forms, that of ‘this life’ and that of ‘past life’ and  Life between lives / Spiritual Regression.

THIS LIFE REGRESSION is most thought of as a therapy, perhaps in the context of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD]

‘Flashbacks’ are a very real problem that disturbs people no matter what their occupation or level of intelligence. I say this because it might be thought that an intelligent person should be able to control this very natural phenomenon, or that only soldiers from war conditions are entitled to complain of this distressing problem.

Why do I use the word ‘natural’?  Because this is a part of our basic instinct for self preservation, to learn from past experience obviously is a very good thing, “do not put your finger in the fire!” an example just as valid as “avoid the experience that you keep getting flashbacks about.” The difference is that the memory has - you might say - got stuck in the wrong mode, and instead of only coming up as a reminder when the fire is near, it keeps re-playing at odd times.

Our brains are very sophisticated instruments, and from time to time they need fine-tuning, this is a good example of what hypnotherapy does.

PAST LIFE REGRESSION

Did you ever feel, with a great affinity, that you have been in a place before, and yet know that you haven’t? Do you ’see’ things as it were, in another time? A greater part of the world’s population takes the matter of reincarnation for granted, and yet others still preach against it. Some say it is a metaphor for the unconscious mind to understand our lives in a different way. What ever your opinion, it is a very interesting subject.

A ‘convincer’ might be that you can - under hypnosis - collect information that is verifiable through place names and public records. Simply asking for written names and addresses are a good way of doing this.

LIFE-BETWEEN-LIVES (SPIRITUAL) REGRESSION

LBL is a means to consciously experience our own permanent identity and the realm in which our soul resides, while answering the fundamental questions…”Who Am I?” and “Why Am I Here Now?”.

This procedure requires time and patience, the entry into a deep trance can take a few sessions in order to achieve the completely relaxed state required, and sometimes up to 3/4 hours in one session are beneficial.

LBL assists individuals in realizing themselves as spiritual beings, not through belief, but through an actual conscious experience of that heritage. As a result of a deepened perception of one’s own immortal soul, values - and the priorities, emotions, and actions that spring from them - change. For this reason, before being guided into an LBL session, it is highly recommended that prospective clients first experience a Past Life Regression (PLR), with a qualified hypnotherapist.

Over the past 40 years many methods to promote access to higher spiritual states of consciousness have been developed and described. Meditation practices have been pursued for Millennia, but now Out-of-Body techniques and hypnotic regression are actively researched, written about in popular books, and practiced by many. Why such powerful methods are now becoming widely available is speculative, but it appears at this juncture in the history of humanity there is a need for transcendent spiritual experiences to be made available to more than a disciplined few. These are difficult times from both a social and spiritual perspective.

WHAT IS THIS INTERESTING THERAPY USED FOR?

It might be that a person comes to see me because they know of no reason why their behaviour in this life is causing them to have negative thoughts or feelings. Regression can play a part in settling the conscious mind and bringing peace to issues that have so far lacked resolve.  Of course, only experiences that are helpful are brought forward.

CASE STUDY: Mr R was interested to know why he had much illness late in his life, was it a punishment for misdeeds, he wondered? The lives he experienced through regression brought to the forefront of his mind questions he had asked himself time and time again, on wakening from his deep trance he exclaimed, “I saw it all, how I died even, and so many things have fallen into place!” It is not for the therapist to know the secrets of the heart, only to assist the understanding and perhaps some wisdom too.

The cost of treatment is dependant on the monetary resources of the client. I have helped many people through the holistic healing approach, from the busy man working all day in his office, who has a hidden fear of public speaking, to the retired farmer who’s back pain has troubled him all his working life.
