Past Life Regression - Meditation 1

On Sunday, I have the pleasure of going to see Dr. Brian Weiss in NYC for a seminar on past life regressions. And due to a message my mother received from above, I was instructed to listen to Dr. Weiss' CDs prior to attending this seminar. There are two discs with two meditations each and I just completed the first one, titled: Spiritual Progress Through Regression. It was a 30 minute meditation that allowed me to regress through time and space to different times in my life and other lives. Below are my thoughts and experiences for documentation purposes and sharing.

This meditation seemed to be centered around my twin brother. His presence was felt in almost all aspects, and if not, he came into mind every time. This requires further explanation. Upon entering my meditative state, Dr. Weiss instructed me to relax all muscles and envelop myself in a peaceful light to prepare to descend a staircase that would lead to a garden of regeneration. Once there, I was ready to return to a childhood memory. I was able to recall a time when I was about two-four years old, living in my old house in NJ. I was walking around the living room and my brother was trying to communicate something to me. We were both smiling and he had a blanket in his hands, ready to scheme something of course. I couldn't ascertain what we were going to do, but I knew it was going to be fun. Initially, I was confused because I didn't understand the significance of this event because nothing was really happening. Only now, post-meditation, do I realize that it was meant to focus my thoughts and ideas throughout the process.

After this part, I was able to regress to a time in utero. I don't recall anything visual, but feelings of tightness and inflexibility, especially having shared the womb with another baby. I remember the first time I became aware of myself as a fetus, which was incredibly odd, and somewhat disturbing. I see the fetal stage, and referenced with my anatomical embryology references, it seems to be at about 6 weeks of human development. Does that mean that awareness begins at around that time of embryogenesis? If that's true, then I have a bit to think about regarding abortions in future practice ... I don't recall seeing my brother at that point, so maybe he was behind me. It was a tiny visualization, so anything is possible. This gives me a lot to think about ... but at the end of that segment, I was invited to safely observe my birth. Let me tell you, it was hectic. Almost instantly, I burst out into sobs and tears because I was incredibly frightened and there was a lot of commotion. I was worried, and so was everyone else. Thankfully, it didn't last long and I was then asked to move away slowly to a door that would appear in front of my spirit that would show me another lifetime.

Upon opening this door, I was transported to a time back in the middle ages. I was a gruff, yet agile 20-something man who was at a fortune teller. I couldn't see her face, nor did I really recognize her, but I was able to understand that I was there because I sought my purpose. (Makes sense. If you're in my head, that is, haha.) I was then able to fast-forward to the next significant event of that time, which brought me to a heist of a small castle's treasury. I recall being uncertain of whether I was doing this for the right reasons, but was able to escape without being caught. I returned to my group of thieves (I assumed) and distributed the loot. I was very agile, quiet, and soft-footed. Perhaps that's where I picked up my cat-like reflexes and agility. (Cool, huh!) The sad part was that I was eventually turned in by someone and warrant was put out. At this, all my so-called friends had abandoned me and I was forced to live the rest of my life as a recluse in the forest. I was then brought to the last day of my life where I passed away quietly without notice in the forest on a cold winter's night, dying of hypothermia. I remember looking up at the sky through my long, untamed hair, asking why I had to die alone if I did what I thought was right at the time. The answer, I think, was that sometimes we do noble things, and sometimes we need to stand our ground on issues of importance. Additionally, we need to use judgment on the people we surround ourselves with, because if trouble comes, they may leave you out of convenience. At this realization, I knew it was a message for my brother. THAT'S why I don't have a problem in judging my friends and acquaintances (usually) - because I've already learned that lesson! However, my brother still has this to learn, and the message will be sent.

After this, I was able to rest up in the garden and a beautiful female angel came to visit me. She had an important message for me, telling me that I need to exercise all of my talents as often as possible in order to practice. And that sometimes I am given the signs but don't act on them out of fear of being in public, fear of the unknown, or fear of failure. However, I was told that I NEED to take these risks, otherwise I won't learn. This resonated incredibly since only a few days ago I was able to pinpoint a mass of negativity on my friend's back through a simple tap of pressure. I have no idea how I knew, but I failed to act on it because others were around and I didn't want to cause a scene. This, I realized, was a mistake, and I need to act on it, regardless of external thoughts or fears - this is a lesson I need to learn in this lifetime.

The angel was also able to show me images of other lifetimes once she hugged me, creating a veil with her robe that turned into a screen of my lives. I was able to see fleeting images of past times, including seeing my current love interest go of to war and me waiting for him to come back, though he may not have. And that's why I knew I'd wait for him forever. *GLEE!* I also saw an image of me as a young black child in the South, gorging on my mother's homemade apple pie. Sadly, I think I died at a very young age because slaves didn't get healthcare. Maybe that's why I'm big on helping the underserved ... how interesting! Soon after these images came and went, my angel gave me a string of pearls; each pearl represented one of my lifetimes. Let me tell you - I'm an old-ass m'f'er, haha. I've been around for quite some time, but still have many things to learn. At this, I was incredibly thankful for all the messages received, but upon asking questions, my angel stopped speaking and told me those answers can be asked later, but now was not the time. Bummer. However, I did return my gratitude to all living beings and to my loved ones in my life. I came out of the meditation smoothly, and cannot wait to do my next one. I will bring back so much knowledge, it's not even funny, and will hopefully be able to 'Teach Teach Teach,' as my angel told me I had to. Good thing I'm going into academic medicine :)
