This particular story is the case of a successful 58-year-old businessman who is experiencing difficulties with his marriage after the death of a loved one; his 18-year-old son passed away due to illness 5 years prior. Peter is strong, good-natured, reserved, sensitive, and very intuitive. He came to me in a state of exhaustion, describing how he was living in a state of sadness and frustration that was draining much of his time and energy. Peter wanted to find some answers to questions about the lessons he had to learn from the loss of his son and how he could achieve his purpose in life.

Peter responded very well to the inducement and relaxation, going so deep and becoming so relaxed that his voice became very soft. He regressed to his childhood and experiences a moment of joy with his father. It was an emotional moment that he hardly recalls now because his father passed away when Peter was only six. He was able to remember many details of his surroundings which, as an adult, his rational mind had forgotten. He felt very happy.

During his past-life session, Peter identified himself as a man named William from the north of England, in 1784. He was a solitary person, mainly working on the farm where he lived. During his life, he steadily developed abilities in carpentry and other building skills. He shielded himself from interaction with others, preferring his own company and leading a simple life.

At some point in his middle-age, William fell in love with a woman called Doris (whom he identifies as his deceased son in his current life). She is kind, compassionate and loving. He learned to open his heart to her, and the relationship expanded his life in all ways. He was in love and surrounded by love, and their marriage flourished until her sudden death, about five years after their wedding. William was devastated by this loss and retreated inside himself for the rest of his life. He learned from the joy and pain how to be open to love and saw how his heart had become closed.  

After the past-life regression, we carry out a session of Life Between Lives (LBL). The LBL session brings to light a lot of information on questions, direction, and opportunities for advancement in Peter’s current life.

Therapist: What are you feeling right now?

Client: I feel a sort of pulling from above… it’s like a tube of light is pulling me upwards… the space around me is getting more and more luminous and brilliant.

Therapist: And what is the tube of light like? 

Client: There are lights all around… it’s very peaceful. There’s a light in the distance… no… there are lots.

After this ascent towards the light, Peter’s face takes on a joyous aspect and the feeling intensifies more and more as tears roll down his cheeks. He says he can see a light greeting him and enfolding him in loving energy. He identifies it as his deceased son, Angel.

Client: 0hh, it’s my son… … (sobs with emotion). His light is white and purplish. He’s so happy to see me… his energy is blending with mine… I’m so happy… I can feel so much love.

Therapist: What does he transmit to you?

Client: My son tells me to open my heart, that I’m ready now, that I should enjoy life with his mother. He turns on the light on the little table next to the television when we’re sad and crying, thinking of him and feeling that we can’t go on living or move on.  

Therapist: What is happening now?

Suddenly, Peter begins to sob deeply, then continues;

Client: He says he’s come to teach me unconditional love for others, that love isn’t exclusive to them… that love is everything… that the love inside you is in everyone who surrounds us, it’s in everything (sobs with emotion).

The meeting with his son is very emotional, he calls him his twin soul. I leave them a while to enjoy the meeting and for Peter to feel the messages that his son transmits about his illness and why he had to leave life so soon. 

Peter says he also feels the presence of his father, Carlos (current life) and his grandfather, Francisco (current life). These are moments of laughter and love; they are all happy at the meeting. After this meeting with members of his soul group, Peter feels a powerful light and recognizes his Guide, Anshel.

Therapist: What does your Guide, Anshel, transmit to you?

Client: My Guide, Anshel, is here too and he calls me Marcus. It’s so good to be here again (sobs with emotion). He says that he’s been with me for a long time in many difficult lives and he’s proud of what I’m doing now, compared with other past lives. 

Again, and again in my work, I find that the spiritual world doesn’t judge us. We, in our human condition, judge both ourselves and each other. However, our Guides and our Council never judge us. You come to realize that you are your own worst judge, and that in the spiritual world we are met with compassion and understanding.

Therapist: What happens next?

Client: … Anshel takes my hand… I think we’re going somewhere else… I can see more lights. I’m standing in a room, like a semicircle, there’s a lot of light, there are other beings. There’s a lot of love and humour. There are five of them. There’s a long thin figure in the center, it’s a very intense light, transmitting a lot of peace and love. It’s Obezev and he smiles at me.

Marcus’s visit to his Council is a happy event with lots of laughing and joking. He recognises one of the Guides at the Council as Obezev. He begins to ask questions about what he must learn from the loss of his son and how to achieve his purpose, his work, and his direction in this life.

His Guide in the Council, Obezev, shows him a life where he learns to love and be happy, in spite of difficulties and the premature loss of his family. In the life he is shown, he is a man called William and has a carpenter’s workshop, where he teaches young people in the village his profession. The people there love and respect him and William is dedicated to his family, his work, and helping the people of the village, especially the disadvantaged and disabled. 

Obezev reminds him that, in this life, he learned to love his family and others. In spite of the loss of his wife and daughter, he didn’t close his heart, finding peace and happiness inside himself. He was completely happy, connected with everything around him, people, animals, nature, and life. Now Obezev shows Marcus a scene from the woods where he went to walk so often and find peace when he needed it. He remembers how he connected with the trees, how he felt them, embraced them and thanked them for the timber with which he built the school and hospital he was building in the village. He remembers teaching the young not just the art of woodworking, but also to believe in themselves, be free, and believe in what they do.

Experiencing the life of William, a person with such strength, confidence, love, and respect for others both surprised and greatly pleased Peter. He was a great man, considerate with others, and a good father and husband. He left that life happy and satisfied in his achievements, feeling loved, valued, and respected and with the sensation of having helped many people.

Therapist: How do you teach them to believe in themselves, to be free, to believe in what they do?

Client:  I want them to be free and to love what they do. I teach them love and respect, that love is in everything, all beings, in nature, in the sun, in the earth. Love is in each small gesture, in each positive intention that comes from your heart. This will free them and make them believe in themselves and what they do.

Therapist: What other values do you teach them?

Client: Confidence and security in themselves, in what they are and what they do.

Therapist: How do you feel when you teach all these things?

Client: I feel good, happy, and full of love. Everyone loves and respects me (his face lights up with a smile). He’s telling me to remember how I felt as a child, what it was that I wanted to be and do. I just have to listen to myself and do what I wanted. I left my path.

Therapist: Do you understand what he wants to say?

Client: Yes. I wanted to help disabled kids. My son came to teach me unconditional love with his disability and illness. Love isn’t exclusive to these things, it’s in all things. He came to give me light… give me light in what I was to do and to give love. To give love without wanting anything in return.

Therapist: And the feeling of sadness you told me about before? 

Client: My sadness comes from my fear of giving love. Giving that love can be like waiting to receive love… it’s when you give it without wanting that you are free… and you “let go”. He came to show me how to trust in my intuition, that this would give me the answers about who I am and why I’m here. I’ve disconnected from my being. I didn’t believe the signs I got from my son. I knew that it was him switching on the light on the little table and other signs (sobbing).

Therapist: What else do they tell you?

Client: They want me to be at peace. They’re going to help me with everything, now and for always. I shouldn’t worry, I should trust. Everything is true, it’s not my imagination, believe in myself, in my intuition. I doesn’t matter if I feel presences, it’s just them… (laughs).

Therapist: What is the challenge you’ve given yourself in this life?

Client: That love is all around us, in everything… unconditional love… and to trust in myself. That’s why my son had to leave so soon… I had to learn the lesson of opening my heart, not to close it or close myself to the world and to people (sobs inconsolably). 

Therapist: What does your Guide tell you?

Client: That when I feel this love and happiness inside me, in my heart… it’s hard to explain… it’s like I should trust in my heart. I wanted confirmation but it’s not needed when the confirmation comes from your heart… that’s what’s missing so that I can open my heart and feel love. I gave myself to my son so much that I forgot about myself, my wife, and the world. I forgot to enjoy him while he was with us. He wanted to give me that lesson.

Then, the Council members give Peter a deep lesson. They show him that conquering this issue, in this life, was his own choice. This took up a large part of the session and offered deep understanding and healing.

Several months after the session, Peter contacted me to tell me that he is very happy. He has finally managed to open and to heal his heart and is ready to let go of the past. He’s now able to achieve his purpose.

He says: “It surprises me how easily everything is falling into place. Since my life between lives session, things seem to flow perfectly, as if I were being guided all the time. A lot of doors have opened, and I’ve made many new friendships which have put me in touch with people who are able to help me professionally to fulfill my dream of opening a center for disabled children. Thanks to this, I have new opportunities and I’m looking at several business options. It’s amazing how life changes when you follow your soul’s purpose or design. I’m beginning to have a positive attitude to life and my marriage has begun to flourish again. I feel love for life again, like in that life that my Guide showed me. It’s been a deeply transformative and healing experience and now I can see each day as an opportunity to help, enjoy, and grow towards a life more in tune with my true purpose”.
