June 27 through July 3, 2022
Exploring new options will be a theme under Monday's Gemini Moon, as we'll want to expand our curiosity and natural affinity for alternate ideas to what we have already. Be cautious when hitting the "Buy Now" button though, as a better deal could come along in a few days! The Cancer new Moon occurs on Tuesday, as well as Neptune turning retrograde for a five-month journey backward. These two aspects can also generate new ideas and options, so keep your eyes open! Things flow along smoothly under Wednesday and Thursday's Cancer Moon, so if you find yourself moving in circles or unable to tackle a project, you can blame it on this watery sign. Our energy will resurface on Friday and Saturday as a fiery Leo Moon inspires action and more action! Save Sunday for investigating details, organizing that closet that got out of hand, or mapping out a new plan of action under the detail-oriented Virgo Moon.
- Past Life Healing: Take Your Heart Back!Continue reading →
Past Life Healing: Take Your Heart Back!, by Shelley A. Kaehr, PhD
(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)
Over twenty years ago, shortly before my strange, near-death experience, I began hearing my inner voice say, "There's something wrong with your heart and you're not going to live much longer." Shortly thereafter, I found myself lifting out of my body one night, floating into that multidimensional space in time where I met some light beings who non-verbally directed me to return. The experience was pretty typical for these kinds of phenomenon.
Around this same time, I received more visitations from a friend who passed away years earlier and also sought out my first past-life regression.
One of the phenomenon I don't mention much but that is incredibly important is the fact that during that session, aside from the epiphanies I received from going into past lives, something incredible happened that changed my life for the better. I got my heart back. Allow me to explain.
During the session, I met with my deceased friend and asked if he had anything that belonged to me. Lo and behold, to my stunned amazement, I saw my heart appear on his hands. I couldn't believe it! I "imagined" myself lifting the heart from his hands and placing it back in my chest, and I had an immediate sensation where I felt that I became whole again and fully operational. In fact, whatever sent me into that light, the mysterious "virus" that nobody could diagnose at the hospital ER the night this happened, never, ever came back again. I suppose my inner guidance was right. Kind of. There was something wrong with my heart—I didn't have possession of mine.
You may wonder how such a thing could happen, and yet this is something that comes up quite often in regressions and like me, it can be one of the most important healing outcomes people receive during a session. Here are a few of the many ways people inadvertently give their hearts away:
- On the playground in school: We've all had young love, right? What if your tender heart fell head-over-heels in love with the cute kid with the freckles and curly hair on the playground in grade school and somehow, unbeknownst to you, you gave your heart to him or her, along with a tender kiss? Believe me, this happens all the time!
- In adolescence: I must tell you that every day of my life, I thank God that I am not a teenager anymore. Remember those raging hormones? Thinking that something had ruined your life irreparably forever? Yeah, me too, and it wasn't fun at all. So imagine how you may have willingly given your heart to that first real love. You forgot all about that person, but your heart is still with them.
- In adulthood in your current life: There are too many examples to name where this may have happened to you. You may have given your heart to someone later in your current life, and again, the challenge is that you are probably like me—totally unaware that you've done that.
- Past Lives: Our souls are vast and we have traveled through the multiverse in many lifetimes, many bodies and lot of experiences. Again, there are so many possible places where you could have dropped off your heart and you may be living your current life without something that you have not held in thousands of years.
You may wonder why this is important, or why you should care to take note and action to rectify this situation and take your heart back from whoever you gave it to. Let me share a few of the many results of this action:
- Physical Challenges: Like me, you may have a physical heart challenge. Please know that if that's the case, you obviously need medical attention. But what if there is something beyond the physical? We do hear much about the fact that many diseases and illnesses begin in the spiritual realm. For me, the reconnected heart really helped me tremendously!
- Relationship Challenges: I cannot tell you the number of people who wanted a regression to try and find out why they could not get a relationship to stick who found out that they did not even have their own hearts! It's kinda tough to love somebody if a medieval knight or an Irish princess took yours from you or you gave it away and had no idea you'd done it. This one issue and consciously reconnecting your heart can easily remedy that problem!
- General Challenges: We're all one, and yet we're all so different. The heart is so wise and because we now know that your heart actually has its own brain (your stomach does, too, according to the HeartMath Institute) so when it's missing, you could just lack overall vitality, have difficulties getting even business things going. We all should strive to love what we do, right? But what if we can't because again, we're too busy loving that gorgeous person back in ancient Egypt?
So how can you remedy this challenge? My latest book, Journeys Through the Akashic Records has tons of guided imagery exercises designed to help you find the answers to all the big questions in life. In the book, I've included all of the one-off exercises I've used successfully with clients who have unusual challenges, including one where you meet with the higher self of someone and experience something similar to what I did years ago that was so helpful. The process involves asking if another person has something that belongs to you and then taking it back. The taking it back part is another area that gets tricky for some people. What if you don't want it back? What if you want to love so-and-so forever? Well, that's entirely up to you, of course, but I will encourage you now and in the book that your life will be more complete if you have your heart intact. Who knows, you may find someone else you'd like to give it to later! (I'm kidding, of course. Please keep it! You need it!)
And for those who took a heart from someone else, a phenomenon that also happens, please, give it back. You will lighten your energetic load and feel better and more able to move forward with someone else or in new circumstances that will hopefully lead to greater joy and happiness in the current lifetime.
That's the reason why we do any of this in the first place—to make the now a more wonderful adventure. Pick up a copy of Journeys Through the Akashic Records, and while you're at it, please pick up your heart!

- Double Vision: Sad Dreams about Departed MomContinue reading →
I lost my mom almost two years ago. I dream of her often, but they are never happy dreams; instead, they are dreams of her being sick or of us losing her all over again. Can you tell me why I never have happy dreams about her?

Astrea:
Two years isn't very long to be without your mother; those wounds take quite a while to heal. Even though you still feel her eternal love for you, she isn't there in the flesh to hug you or cheer you up when you feel sad.
Aries women in your mother's generation often have strange illnesses that, while not terminal, can last for many years. The constant trips to doctors to discover what's wrong, the endless trial and error with prescription drugs, the search for cures ñ all of these can take a toll on the whole family.
ALL cardinal signs despise being ill, which can put extra pressure on the family too. When someone is sick, sometimes they forget to be pleasant, which can lead to arguments. This all adds up to a lot of fatigue for both the ill person and the family, which can produce feelings of guilt.
On the other side of this picture is the Aries who dies from something sudden like a heart attack or stroke. Unexpected death can also lead to feelings of guilt and worry.
To figure out what your dreams about your mom mean, examine what happened prior to her death. Were you getting along well? Were you arguing? Were you not spending as much time with her as you feel you should have? Do you have regrets that plague you about your relationship with her?
This is where you're going to find explanations for the unhappy dreams you're having about her. Get a notebook to keep by your bed, and every time you have one of these dreams, write it down as soon as you wake up so you don't forget it.
Pay attention to the details. Are there doctors in your dreams? Did the doctors in real life let her down? Is there some resentment towards family members who show up from time to time in these dreams? If you document what you're dreaming, the answers you're seeking will become clear to you.
Since your mother has been gone almost two years now, as soon as you find the reasons for your guilt, worry and/or resentment, these dreams will disappear and be replaced by wonderful dreams of your mother where she really is: in a happy place beyond the Veil.
You can then begin to talk with one another again. When those good dreams start to happen, keep a record of them too. Our loved ones who have crossed over watch out for us and want to help us, and in dreams, they can often do just that.
Pleasant dreams of our departed loved ones occur when they visit us to let us know they're healthy and happy in the Spirit World. When we have unpleasant dreams about them, it doesn't mean they're unhappy, for WE are the ones who feel sad. If you figure out why you're troubled, you can start enjoying one another again.

Dreams can be very powerful, as they may affect our moods, thoughts and even our life choices. When we lose a loved one, our greatest wish is to know that they are safe and happy, so positive dreams about loved ones who have passed can be quite affirming.
In contrast, the dreams you are having seem to be stuck on replay, indicating that there are fears or issues still surrounding your mother's death that need to be cleared.
The most effective way to clear these unhappy dreams is to bring them up from your subconscious to the surface of your awareness. To do this, you should write down the events of your mother's illness and passing.
As you write, you may experience another wave of grief, but in the process, you will accomplish two things: First, you'll face the loss of your mother for a final time, and second, you will remember certain aspects of her passing that you may have forgotten.
After you have completed this detailed account, I recommend burning it to release the power and pain once and for all. Then sit down and write a letter to your mother, sharing all the things you would like to say to her, such as how much you miss her and love her. Finally, invite her to visit you in your dreams to let you know how she is doing.
Once you clear away the final pain of her passing, your mother will be able to come to you in all sorts of wonderful ways. You might consider scheduling a channeling session with a trusted medium to talk with her directly.
You could try meditating with an object of your mother's such as a handkerchief, a piece of jewelry or a photograph to draw her near for a chat. Because you know her personality so well, it won't be hard to determine her presence by the thoughts and messages that come to you during these times.
Having recently lost my own mother, I can assure you that our moms love to talk with us whenever they are able. Just a few days ago, I had a dream that my mom called me on my cell phone, and we had a wonderful chat.
I recognized that it was her not only because I could identify her voice, but because she was giving me a recipe over the phone, which was very typical of our conversations when she was alive. When I awoke, it felt as if I still had a cell phone to my ear and I could hear the static, when in reality, the phone was nowhere near me.
Also, watch for smells, objects or animals to appear out of the blue that were your mother's favorites. There are many ways your mother can let you know she is near. Soon you will start to have more positive dreams, memories and experiences with her, and these events will bring you immeasurable peace.
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.
