Past Lives, Present Lives and Future Lives, Part Nine

As we discovered in the other blogs Morey Bernstein stumbled across past lives and reincarnation quite by accident. In this blog we will go through the rest of the regression that Ruth Simmons experienced.

Bridey was named after her grandmother Bridget. Her mother was called Kathleen and she had black hair. Her father was tall and had red hair. His name was Duncan Murphy. Bridey also had red hair. They lived in Cork, Ireland in the early 1800s. The family lived outside the village. Then Morey got Bridey to move forward to fifteen years old. She went to Stragne’s Day School and stayed there all week long. She was studying to be a lady. She learned how to do proper things around the house.

Bridey married Brian McCarthy. Brian’s father was a barrister, like her father. Brian went to school in Belfast. Bridey and Brian got married and moved from Cork to Belfast. They had no children. They lived in a cottage behind Brian’s grandmother’s house while he went to school.

Brian was Catholic and Bridey was Protestant, but the church Bridey went to with her family as a child was a non-sectarian small church.

She also told Morey a prayer they always would say before dinner as a child, “Bless this house in all weather. Keep it gay in springy heather. Bless the children, Bless the food. Keep us happy, bright and good.” Then Morey regressed Ruth again to another life before this lifetime. After a few quiet minutes she found herself in New Amsterdam as a baby and she was dying. Her parents were Vera and John Jamison.

She got very tired, so Morey took her back to her life in Ireland. She went to her death in that life. She fell down some stairs and was very hurt. Her husband tried to heal her, but she died soon after at sixty-six.

We will explore more of Bridey Murphy’s lives and Morey Bernstein’s search in the next blog in late December.

Past Lives, Present Lives and Future Lives, Part Eight

As we discussed in the previous blog, Morey Bernstein stumbled across past lives and reincarnation quite by accident. As a young man, he was at a party, and someone brought up hypnotism, and everyone laughed. So, he said he would show the disbelieving crowd that hypnotism did work. A young woman named Ruth volunteered. Much to Morey’s surprise, while under hypnosis, she went back to Cork, Ireland, in the 1800s. Her name was Bridey Murphy.

Over the years, Morey kept bumping into the concept of reincarnation and past lives, and it annoyed him more than anything else. Eventually, he and his wife went on a trip that included Edgar Cayce’s work and then to New York City, where he was stunned by all the books on reincarnation, even in the New York Library. He was also shocked by all the famous people who believed in past lives, including Ben Franklin and many more.

After that trip, Morey decided to refine his hypnotism techniques and sessions. He then decided to put Ruth, who married his friend Rex Simmons, through a regression on November 29, 1952. He had regressed her 2x before and was ready to see if she could go back before she was born into this life.

Here is what he discovered, with his wife and Ruth’s husband as witnesses to this regression. They went to her life in Cork, Ireland. She was four years ago. She then went to eight years old. She knew her mother’s name was Kathleen. Her father’s name was Duncan. Her name was Bridey Murphy, and the year was 1806. Her father was a barrister; he was tall and had red hair. Bridey also had bright red hair. This surprised all of them because Ruth had brown hair and didn’t know what a barrister was. The regression went on with many very interesting details. She then went through her death and another rebirth in New Amsterdam, which was New York in the colonies in the United States.

We will go through the rest of the regression in the next blog. It is fascinating at all levels. Have a wonderful summer.

Past Lives, Present Lives and Future Lives, Part Seven

Welcome to the ongoing saga, our blog on reincarnation. Reincarnation is accepted by over 4 billion people in the world. Strangely enough, there are still people in the Western culture who have a very hard time wrapping their heads around this broad and fascinating subject.

So I bought a book by Morey Bernstein called The Search for Bridey Murphy. Much to my surprise, as I read this book I found out that his path led him to the renowned Edgar Cayce. He also got great information about reincarnation in a book by Dr. Gina Cerminara called Many Mansions.

Mr. Bernstein and his wife Hazel decided to investigate reincarnation and their 1st stop would be Virginia Beach, Virginia. They met Hugh Cayce, Edgar Cayce’s son. He cordially answered all of their questions and led them to a huge vault where all of his father’s readings were filed.

Then they flew to New York to get to the core of his Cayce inquiry — the main 3 questions he wanted answers from especially the reincarnation question. When they finished quizzing all of the people on their list it became clear that Edgar Cayce was not a fraud. They also looked into the Sherwood Eddy report. They talked to many doctors who had patients who got help from Edgar Cayce. They all agreed that his diagnosis ranged from 80-100% accurate. They wanted to get the story directly from people involved that had been helped. Much to our surprise lawyers, authors, steel workers etc. all said that Edgar Cayce worked wonders. Also he never accepted any payments for his readings.

Reincarnation showed up mostly in Cayce’s life reading for people.

Rudyard Kipley wrote a story “The Finest Story in The World”. Morey Bernstein found this book in his finance advisor’s library. He sent Mr. Bernstein to the New York library in the 1950’s and they already had hundreds of books on reincarnation.

Some notable people who also believed in past lives are Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Benjamin Franklin, Pluto, Socrates, Longfellow, Whitman, Goethe, Pythagorus, Caesar, Oliver Wendall Holmes, Victor Hugo, Thomas Huxley, Sir Walter Scott and so many more.

Then Morey Bernstein found out that hypnotists could help people discover their past lives so he started to work on going down that path to see if he could contact that woman he met at a party in his early 20s and accidentally connected her to an Irish woman in the 1800’s named Bridey Murphy. We will continue this fascinating story in the next blog.

Past Lives, Present Lives and Future Lives, Part Six

Welcome to our latest blog exploring some of the many lives that I have witnessed over the last 30 years.

In one of our past life classes years ago there was a woman who kept having the same experiences over and over again in each class. Finally, she moved to the next section of that lifetime and was able to put all the pieces together. The first part she described to the class was a man wearing a tilted hat standing outside an old house. He looked very sad and it seemed like no one in the house was interested in letting him in the house. So in the beginning of these regressions, he just stayed outside waiting for them to let him in. Finally, she realized the people in the house couldn’t see him.

Over many classes, she discovered that she was Edward Curtis. In every regression, he wore a hat that tilted over one of his eyes. She came across a picture randomly and immediately knew she had found the person she was looking for. Edward Curtis was an American photographer who focused on the American West and Native American people. In 1895 he met and photographed Princess Angelinine known as Kickisomic. She was the daughter of Chief Sealth of Seattle. In 1906 J.P. Morgan provided Curtis with $75,000 to produce a series on Native Americans. It took Curtis 20 years to produce this series of twenty volumes. He took over 40,000 photographs in that twenty years. He used 1500 of them in the Native American series. Much of Curtis’s work was lost to the world for years in a bookstore basement and rediscovered in 1972. His work is now shown in Northwestern University, Library of Congress, Charles Lauriat archives eventually were put in the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His work is also on display at the Peabody Museum. His work is also on display at the Indiana University and the University of Wyoming.

The woman really struggled with the regressions but found a consistent aspect in all of them. the man she was wore the same hat consistently in every flame reading we did. Finally, there was an almost complete picture on the paper with the hat perched on his head and she said that’s who I am. So we eventually found out specifically who she was. Interestingly enough, I had never heard of him and yet she had friends who had his photographs or knew all about him.

Past Lives, Present Lives and Future Lives, Part Five

Welcome to part five of this blog. This subject Past Lives, Present Lives and Future Live is so big we will have more blogs covering it. We are very interested in either your comments or experiences.

Many famous people believe in reincarnation. Many people around the world have experienced past lives and accept them as fact. Some of these are the Dali Lama, Edgar Cayce, and Dr. Brian Weiss. Over the years I have had many experiences in Dr. Brian Weiss’s workshops, cruises, and classes.

In this blog post, we will explore two past lives that Dr. Weiss talked about at length: 1) Jenny, who remembered her lifetime in Ireland and was worried about the eight children she left behind when she died suddenly; 2) Elizabeth and Pedro, who were clients of Dr. Weiss’s, and his attempt to get them together and the drama that happened.

Jenny Cockell started remembering her past life as Mary Sutton in Ireland. At this point, she was four years old and no one believed her. She started drawing a building she remembered. It turned out to be the old hospital that she died in. She was very worried about her children. One of the reasons she was so worried was because she knew her husband wouldn’t be able to take care of their eight children. Eventually, through talking to a man in Ireland and through research and hypnosis, she found the town of Malahide, Ireland. She was very determined to find her children from that previous lifetime. So eventually, she was able to go to the town of Malahide and found the building she kept drawing and dreaming about since the age of four. It was indeed the hospital she had died in. She eventually found her old house and some of her still living children. She told them her story and all the details she had gotten from her dreams etc. over the years. All of them that were alive agreed that those details were true. Several of them just couldn’t wrap their heads around past lives so even though they liked her they couldn’t accept her as their dead mother. The others however did believe she was their mother and were thrilled that she came to find them. Her fears about their fate was real. Her husband in that lifetime couldn’t take care of them so they were separated and put in orphanages to be taken care of. The ones she found stayed together and they were the youngest so they were still alive.

CBS made a movie about Jenny’s life but they changed her name to Jenny Cole and Jane Seymour played her. There are also books that are out by her that tell her story.

Dr. Brian Weiss told this story many times in his classes and he loved it so much he even wrote a book detailing the lives of Elizabeth and Pedro.

They were both clients of his that met with him on different days but after many sessions with them he started to realize they were seeing the same details of past lives. Neither one of them could seem to have a positive real relationship. They had never seen each other in this lifetime. They were strangers. They were both suffering from grief around the loss of a loved one. So even though he had never done this before, Dr. Weiss set up their appointments back to back on the same day so they could meet. Well they both sat there in his office and completely ignored each other. So, rightly so, Dr. Weiss decided he wasn’t supposed to interfere.

Months later, one of them missed their flight and sat down in an airplane seat next to the other. They started talking and the rest is history.

They got married and were very happy. If you want to read this amazing story it is in a book Dr. Brian Weiss wrote called Only Love Is Real. It’s a great book and all the details are true.

Past Lives, Present Lives and Future Lives, Part Four

The saga of late spring is slowly unfolding up here in the Rocky Mountains. The trees are starting to bud, the birds are singing, the hummingbirds are zooming around and the eagles are flying high in the sky. So we will continue with some of the fascinating past lives that I have either observed or experienced personally.

In one of our past life classes years ago everyone in the class of ten people had separate experiences of living in ancient Atlantis before it sunk. Many of them were healers or mystics. They knew each other and described the beauty of Atlantis. I remember Amy (one of the admired older members of the group) saying that we were all together then and knew each other in Atlantis. She talked about how people travel in soul groups through time. Some people gave the same description of where they were in Atlantis. They saw huge crystals of different colors. Some were pointing up and some of them were connected to a very high ceiling and pointing down. There were many buildings and different kinds of rooms everywhere. Some of the people said that they had been told by people who saw visions that there would be a huge explosion and many people would sink. So they left and went to other areas to be safe.

In another class, a woman had a fascinating experience as a young girl in Chicago. Her name was Theodora. She wrote beautiful poetry. Her father showed the poetry to an editor at the Chicago Tribune and he printed them on a regular basis. Her father Theodore and she was the love of his life. She had a black nanny that she loved. Then around thirteen Theodora got seriously ill with a very high fever and died. Her father was heartbroken. He left the family and never came back.

In another regression, a woman went to a lifetime where she lived in a cold country. She felt it was in Norway or Holland or Sweden. Her father was gone much of the time traveling and working. She lived in a large mansion or castle that was run by a woman who oversaw the cooking, cleaning and running of the house. There was also a tall man with dark hair guarding her. He was in charge of a group of soldiers dressed in red uniforms. He rarely talked to her. He just stood guard most of the time. She wrote books and poetry. She had a large dog and a white horse. When the weather was nice, she took her horse out and the guard and the dog went with her. She asked him why he was always around and he said it was his job to make sure she was safe. She didn’t get her name.

Past Lives, Present Lives and Future Lives, Part Three

As I have explained in previous blogs I have explored and experienced past lives for well over 30 years. Some of you are interested in some of the experiences that have occurred throughout the years. So we will examine a few of the past lives and aspects that occurred that still stand out in my mind.

In a Brian Weiss workshop, a woman experienced a profound past life session where she was an ancient Phoenician. She could give many details that turned out to describe the ships, colors, and clothing and the native people that lived there. She got very emotional in the middle of the experience because all of her family and close friends went off on a large Phoenician ship and had to stay behind while she finished working on some kind of written language. She didn’t understand the language of the native people who lived near her. They were very kind to her. Then after years, she realized something had happened to her family and friend’s ship because they never came back. She finished her written language project and died late in life. The native people put her in a small version of the big ship that took everyone else away. They set the small boat on fire and pushed it into the Mediterranean Sea.

In one of our past life courses, a woman started to cry and was deeply moved by her experience. Her ancestors came from Ireland. But her grandparents had moved to a island Martinique and she married a man who was originally from France. They had 3 daughters. Two of these daughters died relatively young. Her oldest daughter had married a man in France. It was during the time of the French Revolution. She saw the date 1766 as the time when a powerful hurricane ripped their home to pieces. They had to live in a sugar mill. They also experienced a huge volcanic eruption on the island a few years later. Her husband died young and left her with great debt. She was a very determined woman and turned the plantation they lived on around. It became successful for its time. There were riots and rebellions in the city, but she stayed on the plantation moving away from it all. She thought her name was Claire Rose or Rose Claire.

Another group of past lives that stood out was located back in the mid-19th Century. the Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses to help slaves escape to free states and Canada. Much to my surprise four of the people in our class had past life experienced where they smuggled slaves out of New Orleans in a wagon with a false bottom. They were all wealthy white women from New Orleans and a man connected to one of the women helped consistently. They took turns driving and helping people escape for years.

Another woman consistently experienced lives in ancient Ireland. One that stood out was her life as a Druid. She seemed to live in a large cave by herself. She belonged to a large group of Druids. The images she saw were in black and white and then suddenly would be completely covered in a beautiful green color. She was wearing an animal skin to keep warm. She seemed to be a leader of some sort and could do many things that we consider magical. She said it felt like they were all very close to the sea or the sea people. She also had a very large white stallion and an animal that looked like a very large dog that protected her.

We had many people experience lifetimes in Europe, Africa, South America, Asia, and in the colonies around the world. We will explore more parts of past lives and future lives in future blogs. If you have had any experiences you would like to share, feel free to email Patricia at synchron@csd.net and please put past lives in the subject line.

Past Lives, Present Lives and Future Lives, Part Two

Our world is vast and complicated. The Earth is a mid-sized planet in the middle of an enormous Universe. The concept of reincarnation is ancient and complicated. Pythagoras, Socrates, and Plato all wrote about reincarnation back in ancient Greek times.

The belief in reincarnation is a basic Shamanic belief. It was present in many hunter-gatherer tribes. This shows us that reincarnation had to be part of the most ancient cultures of our planet. Many North American tribes believed in some form of rebirth in their spiritual traditions. This is especially true for the Intuit, Tlingit, Aleut, Beaver, Kutchin, Carriers, and Kwakint tribes. Almost all Native American Indians considered reincarnation a natural way of continuity and further development of the soul.

I have been involved with past life work for over 30 years. I highly recommend any workshop of Dr. Brian Weiss, Denise Linn, or Anita Moorjani. Some forms of reincarnation focus on linear progress in lives toward releasing karma or toward enlightenment. Others explore different circumstances and lives to understand different cultures and classes.

Around 20 years ago I was introduced to a concept that I realized that both Denise Linn and Dr. Brian Weiss knew. In their workshops we not only could go to any past life that was important for this lifetime but also we started going to future lives to explore our futures. Then I read Anita Moorjani’s book Dying To Be Me. Dr. Wayne Dyer contacted her and helped the world know about her extraordinary near-death experience and her miraculous healing of her cancer within three months.

In her near-death experience, she saw and discovered what mystics and scientists have been saying for a while. Everything outside the Earth’s time zones there is no time. She already believed in past lives BUT was startled to see that all of them were connected in a line that included her past, present, and future.

It took me a while to put all of this in my brain but I can honestly say I have. I knew time didn’t really exist but it took a while to put all the pieces together. We made time up many centuries ago so we could have days, weeks, months, and years.

I now realize that’s how both Denise Linn and Dr. Brian Weiss can take you back to any lifetime and help you change the circumstances of that life if you have been troubled by it in some way. This process then trickles through all your lives changing any situation that you have changed.

There is so much to learn no one could learn it all in one lifetime. For me, it opens up a whole world that I am still exploring with a deep passion.

Past Lives, Present Lives and Future Lives, Part One

Years ago I met an extraordinary woman who my friend Polly said I had to get a reading from at a Psychic Fair in Boulder, Colorado on a Full Moon. Now for some people this is not an extraordinary event. For me is was beyond anything I had ever done. It was my first reading, first Psychic Fair and I had just taken my first Reiki 1 Class the weekend before April, 1985.

So I sat down in front of this kind looking woman who smiled and asked for something that belonged to me that she could hold. So I gave her my keys and introduced to a world I didn’t even know existed.

She immediately looked at me and said you have many past lives. I remember thinking this life has been hard enough I don’t want to even think about past lives or future lives. She smiled and said “You came here because you wanted too, not because you had to.”

I was stunned because I didn’t say what I was thinking. Then she talked about other things that no one knew and the icing on the cake was when she told me that Ethel Prowinski, my other grandmother was around me in the difficult times ahead. I knew I hadn’t ever told anybody Nana (my grandmother through marriage) name.

After a period of time this woman became one of my best friends. I investigated past lives. I went to workshops put on by Brian Weiss and Denise Linn. Eventually I got my friends to go with me on cruises with Brian Weiss and James Van Praggh. Such gifted teachers at all levels.

Eventually Dorothe and I did past life workshops in Boulder and then finally once a month up in the Rocky Mountains at my home. I learned through time how to regress people and do past life flame readings. My world expanded in so many ways through the years and past lives, present lives and future lives are a big part of it. We will be exploring all of these in this blog series. I hope you enjoy them

Reiki And Alternative Healing Methods, Part Five

Welcome to my blog on alternative healing methods that seem effective. Tapping also known as EFT is simple and yet very powerful, especially in terms of releasing stress and any number of painful circumstances in your body and life.

EFT tapping chart courtesy The Tapping Solution

The points in tapping are used in Reiki, Acupuncture, Acupressure, and many other alternative healing arts. These points are all on the meridians which are energy lines through which chi (life force) flows. When there is a disruption in that flow discomfort or disease is possible. Two of my favorite leaders in the tapping world are Brad Yates and Nick Ortner. They both have books, workshops, and videos.

Another alternative healing system is the Ayurvedic medicine. It is practiced in India and Nepal. Therapies include herbal medicine, special diets, meditation, yoga, massage, oils, and much more. Dosha balance is emphasized. The dosha that needs to be balanced are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Many doctors are both Western physicians and Ayurvedic medical doctors. Deepak Chopra is a good example.

Acupuncture and Acupressure are based on meridians and the points along the meridians. Acupuncture uses needles and requires years of training. Both of these arts are ancient healing arts connecting to points that stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities. Both of these healing arts are very effective when used consistently on many physical problems. There are many books and references on both of these subjects. There are many alternative healing arts to explore and I would love to read your comments about any of them.

This is the end of this series, but a new series will come out in July.

Blessings,
Patricia
