We'll experience a fairly balanced time as the Sun spends its last week of this year in Leo, with only one astrological shift created by Mars when it moves into Gemini on Saturday. Our creative sides flourish under the Aries Moon on Monday and Tuesday, as it awakens our spirits to the possibilities. Even something as simple as taking a different route home can uplift our perceptions and bring greater awareness, so practice making small changes that will soon result in some big ones! The Moon cruises through Taurus on Wednesday and Thursday, allowing us some time mid-week to catch up on obligations of a grounded nature, such as house cleaning or bill paying. Keeping our environment in order makes all our other senses thrive more effectively. The Moon cruises through Gemini the last three days of the week and with Mars moving into this versatile sign on Saturday, our minds and hearts will seek out new ideas, social connections, and experiences. Gemini is all about seeing what options are out there, and Mars is about taking action to experience as many as possible, so keep your weekend open and flexible and see what happens!

Spiritual Regression: Why Are You Here? by Bryn Blankinship

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

Spiritual regression is a great way to resolve inner conflict through deeper self-awareness to begin moving forward in your life rather than staying stuck and not knowing why. As a transpersonal hypnotherapist, clients arrive at my office seeking guidance or answers to questions they have about themselves and their place in this world. Often, they are feeling overwhelmed and in need of spiritual recharging, or are searching for clarity and purposeful direction in their lives. While a past life regression alone can be a cathartic experience, identifying and clearing karmic carryover from a lifetime or two, it often isn't enough to provide the deeper answers to their life's mysteries for which clients are searching.

Through thousands of session hours with hypno-regression clients, I developed a technique called Soul Expression Spiritual Regression (SESR), as a way to achieve a great alignment with one's soul. A SESR session ("assessor") offers an assessment or review of your current life permitting the magnification of your soul in the current mind and body. SESR strengthens the connection to your soul's innate wisdom and provides a current life assessment, giving you a clearer sense of who you are, your unique gifts, and what you are here to do.

SESR helps you identify and review the past and future simultaneously from the perspective of the current life with direct guidance from your soul and spiritual team to find and follow your soul's guidance, identify negative patterns, and move through issues more quickly by allowing you direct access to yourself. Each session is unique, but what clients have in common is that they each bring to light information in such a way that they are able to resolve long-standing issues to move past previous limitations and feel freer. It's a way to re-discover your life's purpose and take more responsibility in your life in knowing that you are here by design, not by accident, that you are loved, and that you are not alone.

You are here on purpose, for a purpose. Armed with this wisdom, you are able to better navigate your life and call upon help from your spiritual team in a true partnership with them. Your spiritual team gives guidance from their respective vantage points. Your Soul Advisory Team offers the bigger picture, especially in pre-birth planning, while spiritual guides and teachers offer assistance with the details of making that happen. It's your role to stay open to the assistance being given so that you can accomplish what you came to Earth to do while improving the relationship with yourself through your soul's various incarnations. All events are part of the divine plan…the perceived good and the perceived bad. It's part of the duality of this earthly realm.

In my book, The Limitless Soul, are a collection of case studies from actual client sessions revealing the complexities the soul faces by design throughout its many incarnations, and how revisiting certain times in your soul's history can provide insight and release energetic blockages that are impacting your current life incarnation. It is a chapter-by-chapter look through the eyes of clients in deep trance at different past life and afterlife cases to explore many aspects of a soul's incarnations, showing that life is not a random series of events. Souls learn with each lifetime. As one spiritual guide states, "No life is wasted; there are lessons in every kind of life."

The clients in The Limitless Soul sought insight into the mysteries of their existence and earthly lessons for their current incarnation, and their sessions carry messages with universal appeal. Each chapter includes practical soul-minded exercises for the reader to begin their own process of awakening to soul.

The following is an excerpt from Chapter 7, "The Gifts You Brought with You," where we explore the preplanning aspect of the current life incarnation and how it influences current life decision-making as well as provides skills and abilities needed to fulfill the life you are currently living. Many of my clients experience in session what Claire so eloquently describes here while in a deep trance state.

Claire is interested in SESR to explore and recharge. "I want to be aware of the afterlife in this plane, hold a little piece of it in my heart, and let it recharge me," she shares. What follows reveals that all lives have meaning. Your existence affects others one way or the other simply by your having been here.

The SESR session begins. Floating along the current of her soul's consciousness, Claire moves to the womb close to the time to be born. Claire's spirits are high. She's coming to bring enthusiasm. It's needed on Earth and she happily signed up for it. Her time is spent floating, sleeping, and planning what she'll need for the life that is coming.

Suspended there, she receives information that flows directly into her cells. These instructions are sent from "home"—from that place where they help you build your "suit with your traits that you're going to be," Claire explains.

She reveals that the soul helps create the part of the suit where you agree what you'll be. Then the ones who help you in pre-birth planning tell you how that will happen and the traits and personality that go with that. It's talked about, planned, and designed by them for you before you incarnate. They're like tailors. They take what you're planning to come for and make a suit for you to wear. The suit has the memories in it that activate later when you need them.

"You can't see the suit," she explains. "At different times it will help you to do what you're supposed to do, like how you see the world... It's on the inside. It's what makes you laugh at some things and not others. It's hooked in. It's the suit you put on to get born and has all you need in it... it's your 'Birthday Suit.'"

Next Claire moves through a doorway and directly into the cosmic realms. Her guide, appearing as a ball of light, patiently takes her along this pathway through the stars, so she can feel them and absorb the atmosphere here.

Claire becomes aware of others and is curious about her soul group, those souls who incarnate together playing different roles in one another's lives throughout their various incarnations. She recognizes several from her current life.

Continuing to the Soul Awareness Area, things she has done are playing on a big viewing screen. Claire explains, "Everything is here and there is information everywhere—who you are and who you always were...it's all here, backward and forward from all of your lifetimes."

I am reminded that Earth is an emotional planet. It's where souls come to experience the range of emotions. Half the battle of existing on this planet is managing one's emotions. Claire is told that emotional help is needed on Earth. "There are many changes coming our way on Earth…I'm to help with compassion…" she reveals. "Lots of different people will soon be helping...teams of them...the pulse of all the spirits are all changing."

She's shown a heartbeat that speeds up and slows down. A piece is placed in her heart to hold as a reminder while shifting her vibration for the work she's to do.

In Soul Reflection, she recalls a past life where she had not spoken up for someone and it cost him his life. She punished herself by living out her days alone in a cave. In her current life, she has the opportunity to overcome this karmic carryover.

Claire's guide signals that itis time to visit her Soul Advisory Council, wise beings like a special committee, that support souls with their incarnations. Five white, light beings are waiting for her. She feels nervous to be in their presence. They are pleased with her and tell her they hear her when she asks and are helping. Her guide adds, not to worry so, her "birthday suit" has what she needs!

Following the session, Claire seems stronger and with less self-doubt, and her energy field looks bright. She has a clearer sense of purpose and understanding of her uniqueness as a soul and as the person she is now, finding solace in knowing her connection to the divine plan. She knows it is okay to speak up more and use her voice, and that she was born with everything she needs. She looks great and feels grateful to be charged up!

No matter the path that leads them to my office for SESR, clients like Claire are seeking a deeper understanding of their earthly existence. Empowered with the self-knowledge of who you truly are, you can move forward, comforted in knowing that your spiritual team is always with you to help them succeed.

When given glimpses into the spiritual realm you see that we're all here as part of the bigger plan. As you consider your own role in the divine plan, connecting with your useful purpose brings happiness and contentment when you are doing what you came here to do. The following exercise can help you uncover your unique gifts and begin to explore your part in it.

I have had four dreams in the last three months about someone who is male and recently deceased. I knew of this person but I never met him personally. In my dreams, however, it's like we have known each other before. The energy I feel from him in my dreams is incredible, and is similar to the feeling I had when my son was born. The energy this person embraces me with feels like love, peace, fulfillment and acceptance all rolled into one feeling. Have you heard of anyone having a comparable experience while in a dream state? I'm not the sort of person to look for love at every corner or to be constantly on a quest for a soul mate. I'm 30 years old, attractive, and have been single for the past 10 years. I get hit on but I honestly choose to be single. I'm very independent. If I get married, that's great; if I don't, that's okay too. It's not a priority for me. I have a son I love dearly and a great job that keeps me busy. In my dreams, I felt like I have taken care of this man before. Since his passing, however, my life has improved, so I feel like I am being taken care of now. Is a spirit capable of this? I've had two encounters where shortly after his passing I woke up abruptly in the middle of the night and saw his silhouette standing beside my bed. It was for a couple moments and I didn't feel scared. The second experience was when I was drifting off to sleep. All was quiet and I heard him speak my name, followed by that incredible energy washing over me like in my previous dreams. Is this a soul mate who has found me?

Astrea:

I once heard a wonderful explanation of soul mates who aren't together now and never were in real life that was related to King Arthur, Guinevere, Morgan le Fey and Lancelot. (History is great for revealing relationship secrets!)

Whether you believe they were real people or not, the relationships they had with each other were very complicated. Several authors have explained those complex relationships as being rooted in other lives or future incarnations.

Studying the dynamics behind the relationships of these four individuals has helped many people find insights into their own love lives. One of my favorite books on these four is The Mysts of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. Books by Edain McCoy, especially Entering the Summerland, also contain helpful insights.

If you learn about your own past lives, you'll probably find this man in many of your ago times. It often happens that we meet a Soul Mate from a different incarnation (or many different incarnations) but due to various reasons or our own free choice, we're unable to be together in this lifetime. When we move on to our Celestial Incarnations, we meet these people and work out what we weren't able to do in life.

I believe the experiences you are having with this man are as real as waking ones. You see him, you hear him, and you say that your life has improved since you began dreaming of him. This isn't unusual even though people still don't discuss happenings of this kind in polite company for fear of being labeled NUTS!

If I were you, I would look around for a church or some type of spiritual community for some support as you move through life this time around. It will be nice to be with others who feel as you do: that they are protected by friends, loved ones and even strangers from beyond.

There are two different explanations for what is going on with you and this man you never met. Either this person was destined to help you from the Other World because of experiences in other lives, or after his death, he chose to participate in your life because of some incident that happened while he was living.

What to think? The reason that your lives are linked despite never having met in this incarnation may always remain a Divine Mystery. I think you should be happy and grateful that this man has chosen to love and watch over you. I'm also confident that you'll meet up with him face to face when you leave this world.

Susyn:

The experiences you describe in your letter confirm that you have a new spiritual protector and guardian at your side. When we die, our spirits have more freedom and knowledge, which makes it possible for us to connect with people who are dear to us even if we had no contact with them when we were alive.

The most important thing to note here is how this type of phenomenon changes our lives. You say that your life has improved since this man's regular visits began. This is the ideal way to validate what you have been experiencing, for the influence this is having on your life appears to be profound.

It's possible that this man could be a soul mate or a karmic connection from a past life, though that doesn't preclude the additional possibility that you are having a loving, long-lasting relationship with him in the future.

You may want to learn more about this man who has decided to become a close companion by performing a guided meditation. Gather together any pictures or information you have about him. Light three white candles and sit in silence while you focus on the emotions and experiences you've had with him.

Then invite him to talk with you. You should be able to carry on a conversation with him at this point. This is an excellent way to determine what the connection between you is so you can start to build on it.

You may also notice your intuition and awareness growing in other areas, as these sorts of events often enhance our spiritual gifts. The fact that you have now seen his silhouette a few times also indicates that your powers of perception are increasing.

When you open yourself up to spending more time with him in an awakened state via meditation, the connection between the two of you will become clearer. In this manner, you can continue to experience the gifts of having him in your life now even though he wasn't a part of your life when he was alive.

Skepticism can often keep us from trusting in these types of experiences, but if you pay close attention to how you feel and less attention to what you think, these activities will increase until there is no doubt left in your mind.

Our biggest challenge is what to do with these experiences. In this case, I encourage you to embrace them, trust them and learn from them. This spirit ís presence in your life appears to be a wonderful blessing. As you say, someone is taking care of you for a change - and without compromising your freedom or independence!

Astrea:

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
