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:

1. 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!
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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:

1. 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!
2. 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!
3. 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!

How do you protect your energy source when you keep having dreams about someone who wants to have you (or your energy) and will stalk you to get it? I keep dreaming about a woman I don't know in real life. In the dream, I try to psychically block her, but she is determined to be with me or have me. (I am also female.) She has a very intense, possessive feeling about her. It feels like she wants me at her side, like a possession or a subservient friend. In the dream, I know she wants to tap into my life force, and she tries to trick me into being in her company so she can engage with me in order to drain my energy. To do this, she has other people help her, and she tries to get to me through them. I try to block her by visualizing light all around me and throwing light her way. I also avoid eye contact. This woman has a very dark side to her, and is desperate and determined. The location of these dreams varies, as do the other people she is using to try to get to me.

Being stalked is never any fun, whether you're sleeping or awake! Unfortunately, you'll have to rely on your own spiritual resources to defeat a Dream Stalker.

Many people have dreams of being stalked, chased, followed, and harassed by unknown people and entities. In fact, at one time or another, most of us have dreamed of being hounded by an unseen force. As there is no one you can call to take care of this for you, you'll just have to do it yourself.

The fact that your dream recurs with the same person wanting to possess you over and over influences my interpretation. Usually, dreams of being stalked mean that you are somehow chasing your own tail because you're overwhelmed at work or in a relationship, or you don't feel that you have any time for yourself.

Based on your question, I don't think this person is a real, living human being. More likely, this is some kind of weak-willed succubus who is indeed trying to drain your energy while you are trying to rebuild it as you sleep. No matter what type of entity it is, it's trying to keep you tired, so you have to fight it before you go to bed at night.

First I suggest you place your shoes under your bed and turn them to face opposite directions. In case this is just some kind of nightmare, that will confuse the entity enough to leave you alone.

I also recommend you place a piece of sterling silver under the lower righthand corner of your mattress (the corner on the right when you are lying down on the bed) to repel any evil that might be coming your way during the night.

Another thing that will help is going to bed at the same time every night. Before you get into bed, be sure and tell this entity to STAY AWAY. Do it three times every night for a month. Don't forget!

Consistency is one of the biggest keys to getting rid of something that you don't want in your dreams, so do your best to keep the time you retire within the same hour each night. Of course, there will be times you can't do that, but you can still watch the clock from wherever you are and remind this entity that she is NOT welcome in either your dreaming or your waking life.

The most important element of all is to NOT be afraid of this woman. She can't hurt you in real life. Remember, your Spirit is stronger than anything you dream about, so you can defeat this entity with time, patience and will power.

Susyn:

A dream of this nature could be coming from one of three sources.

Many dream experts believe that no matter who we seem to dream about, we are always projecting an aspect of ourselves. If this is the case, you may be experiencing your shadow side trying to express itself in these dreams.

Though this idea might seem bizarre since this woman appears to be opposite of your nature, the fact that she is trying to tap into your life source could indicate that this is a part of you that you shut off. When we do this to repress our shadow sides, they can come at us with even more power.

If you feel this might be the case, you can minimize the dreams via a guided meditation. Sit in a quiet place and breathe deeply until you feel calm, centered and surrounded by light.

Then visualize this woman in your mind and invite her to come in and talk with you. Ask her what she wants. If she confirms that she wants your life force energy, tell her with confidence that she cannot have it. Tell her that if she doesn't stop stalking you in your dreams, she can no longer be a part of your life.

Another possibility is that you have attracted a negative spirit who has attached herself to you. Lost discarnate spirits often select an unwitting person to attach to in an attempt to capture their life force or live vicariously through them.

Usually you will experience a discarnate's presence in an awakened state as well as in your dreams. Since you don't mention this in your email, it doesn't sound like she is giving you trouble on the physical plane.

If she does, you'll want to seek out a psychic or shaman to communicate with her and send her into the light. She sounds very powerful, so you will need a professional to rid yourself of her presence if this is the case.

A third possibility is that this is a person who is astrally projecting to you in your dreams. You state that you don't know this woman, but she may have picked you at random. Again, the best cure for this is to perform a guided meditation and command that she stop bothering you and seek whatever she's after elsewhere.

Whatever the source of your dreams may be, start sleeping with a turquoise or malachite stone under your pillow, and light jasmine or amber incense before bedtime. These stones and fragrances are infused with protective energies, and should keep bad dreams and entities at bay.

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.
