Three methods of past-life healing — clearing blocks in the lower four layers, structural healing on the etheric/ketheric template, and reading past-life bands in the ketheric eggshell.
⚠ Safety Note
Past-life healing should only be done with a trained, experienced practitioner. Never force past-life experiences. If you encounter overwhelming emotions, trauma, or psychological distress, stop and seek professional support.
What Are 'Past Lives'?
Many people, at a certain point on their spiritual path, begin having transtemporal experiences — "past-life" memories. Someone meditating may "remember" being another person in another era. Someone in deep therapy may relive a trauma from "another lifetime."
Transtemporal experience probably cannot be completely defined due to our limited sense of time and space. The term "past life" is a very limited way to define such experience. As physicists and mystics agree, time is not linear and space is not only three-dimensional.
Exercise: Experience Nonlinear Time
From Itzhak Bentov's "Stalking the Wild Pendulum":
Time is experienced subjectively, not linearly. We create a supposed linear time structure for convenience.
When Is Past-Life Healing Appropriate?
On the therapeutic and healing levels, working with past lives is very effective when:
It is not something to play with or use to boost the ego. The usefulness is clearly to free the personality from problems that hold us back from our greatest potentials and life task.
Misuses of Past-Life Work
1. Avoidance
Focusing on other lives to avoid issues in this life. The "other" lives are usually seen as having been powerful, rich, or famous.
2. Projection & Blame
Putting blame on people in this life for things experienced in other lives. Even if they did treat you badly, focusing on them won't help. It's YOUR unfinished creation.
3. Taking Unwarranted Privileges
Using past-life connections as an excuse for inappropriate behavior. E.g., "we were married in a past life, so we need to have sex now to work out our problems."
Three Methods of Past-Life Healing
There are three major ways to "see" and heal past-life trauma, each related to what level of the aura the healing is done on:
Method 1: Healing Blocks in the Lower Four Levels
This method (learned from Petey Peterson at the Healing Light Center) addresses blocks from this lifetime first, then uncovers traumas from other lifetimes.
If the client says "no" — there is more to be experienced. Increase intensity and frequency of energy. Repeat until the area clears and they're ready to let go.
Layers of Trauma
Traumas are laid down on top of each other, probably chronologically. When you clear one, the next is uncovered. Brennan has seen as many as five traumas from different lifetimes layered in the same area of the body.
Each layer is filled with the rose light of unconditional love before going to the next. Any natural purification process that clears body blocks will eventually lead to past-life clearing.
The DC Shift
When a client reexperiences a past life, there is a strong field effect called a Direct Current (DC) field shift (described by Rev. Rosalyn Bruyere):
It is very important for the client to stay in a quiet, safe, nourishing environment for 48 hours. Unpleasant experiences during this time will affect them deeply. This time allows healthy flow patterns to stabilize and become permanent.
Method 2: Structural Healing on Template Levels
Structural problems from past lives on the etheric and ketheric template levels usually result in congenital problems in the physical body.
Follow the same procedure as healing any structural problem on the template level (seeTemplate & Celestial Healing). The important difference: as soon as the healer knows the trauma is from a past life, help the client connect present-life issues to the past-life experience.
The John Case — Genghis Khan Past Life
John arrived with scoliosis he was born with. On the ketheric template level, instead of beautiful golden fibers forming the solar plexus chakra, he had a formation like a "sunspot" — a large mass of tangled red, yellow, and black energy. The main vertical power current deviated sharply to the right toward this sunspot.
As John talked, Brennan suddenly saw him in a past life during the era of Genghis Khan. In a battle, he was lustfully killing a soldier with a rod-and-chain weapon (a metal ball with spikes). At the same time, the enemy plunged a lance into John's solar plexus. Both were killed.
This left him with the belief that any lusty, powerful expression of life-force energy leads to injury and death. In this lifetime, he held back any strong integrated expression — dividing his power into separate parts. His profession of directing plays let him express different aspects through different characters.
The congenital scoliosis was a direct outcome of that past life — held very tightly and deeply within the soul substance.
The Lance Removal
The healing sequence for John:
Over the five sessions, John progressively felt more freedom of movement and less tension in compensating muscles. He also felt more freedom in his personal life.
Method 3: Past-Life Bands in the Ketheric Eggshell
Another way to read past lives: put your hands into the bands of color that appear at the ketheric (eggshell) level of the aura. By tuning into the energy there, you can see past lives flow before your eyes.
The band relevant to what's happening now is found around the face and neck area, about 2.5-3 feet out. By putting hands above the face and following the band right and left, you see the past life pass by in linear time.
Important: Never give past-life information unless very familiar with the client's process and certain they're ready. It may be very related to their present life. Respecting the power of this work is paramount.
What to Do with Past-Life Bands
Brennan has done very little to change these bands. Sometimes she runs hands through them to make them clearer or "lighten" them when burdened. If energy is bunched up, she spreads it along the band.
These bands are related to the task the person has undertaken in this lifetime. Many times she gets the sense of invading a very private personal space — so she withdraws. Respect the power of the work the client is doing in these high levels. Only do what the healer and client are ready for. This is a general rule for all levels.
The General Rule
"Respect the work and humility of your position in the great scheme of the universe while always focusing on unconditional love, the greatest healer of all."
Self-Review
From Chapter 24:
Transtemporal Healing Protocol
Recognize a trauma that seems to repeat across time
Access the astral and template levels
The trauma may originate in this life, past lives, or ancestral lines
Witness without being overwhelmed
Bring love and light to the wound across all timelines
The trauma no longer needs to repeat
The healed energy returns to the present
Which past-time trauma pattern resonates? How does healing across time change your relationship to the past?
