A Family Affair
One of my clients, Alice, came to see me as she had been struggling to move away from an unhappy working situation, she was working for the family business. She was working in a role that she didn’t like and even though she knew that she ‘should’ leave and find a new job, where she could step up to her highest potential, something stopped her. She could not explain what it was she just knew that every time she tried to speak to her parents a huge wave of anxiety came over her and she would be unable to speak, frustrated and angry with herself, she would often go home and row with her partner over her inability to move on. He believed she was capable of a lot more than she was doing and she was struggling with a sense of loyalty and duty versus her own fulfillment and satisfaction. What she really wanted was to focus on her Reiki and become a healer but she could not see how it would ever happen.
She told me that she really needed some help because it felt like there was a part of her that was sabotaging all of her attempts to be happy and she couldn’t understand it. Once she was in trance and in her safe place I asked to speak with her higher mind, using the finger signals that I mentioned earlier, when I asked if there were any ‘energies’ in her energy field that did not belong to her, the signal said yes. I asked if there were more than one and the finger signal said ‘no’; just the one. In order for me to communicate with this ‘energy’ I asked it to come up to her vocal chords so that I could speak with it. The person is safe and comfortable and in control whilst in the trance state so this can happen quite easily; albeit that it does feel a little strange. When I asked the ‘energy’ if it had a name it said ‘Yes, Anthony’ in a deep male voice and the session began.
Me: So Anthony, how long have you been here in this body?
A: About 4 years
Me: What brought you to this body?
A: There was a feeling of frustration going on.
Me: Was the feeling of frustration familiar to you?
A: Yes, very.
Me: What were you frustrated about?
A: That my life came to an end so suddenly before I got to do all the things that I wanted to do.
Me: What happened to you?
A: I was murdered.
Me: Who did this to you?
A: My family.
Me: What happened and why did your family want to kill you?
A: I was shot, because they were a bunch of cowards and they didn’t have the nerve to stand up to me.
Me: What had you done to them to make them want to kill you in this way?
A: I set up a deal with a rival gang, which would have brought in a lot of money, but they didn’t like it, they were afraid that they might try to stitch us up. I told them I would take care of it but they were too stupid to see that I could.
Me: Wow, so I imagine that you have been affecting this body while you have been here.
A: Yes, I get angry when things don’t move on, it drives me a bit crazy.
Me: Yes, I can imagine that it must be a bit frustrating for you being stuck here. So when you died, what happened?
A: I was so angry with my family, I couldn’t believe what they had done to me so I wanted to stay and get them back.
Me: What happened?
A: It was a waste of time, I couldn’t get at them and it was hard just floating around.
Me: Is that why you picked this body?
A: Yes, it seemed like the best option.
Me: So when you had your own body, I imagine that it was big and strong.
A: Yes, I was very fit.
Me: So how does it feel to be in the body of a young girl?
A: What?
This was said with some surprise.
Me: Yes, Alice here is a young woman and you are in her body.
With this there is some patting of the body.
A: Oh great, that is all I need. Now I feel really angry.
Me: Would you like to come out of this body now?
A: No, I don’t have anywhere else to go, I have to stay here. You can’t make me leave.
At this point Anthony was getting a bit agitated.
Me: I would never force you to do anything, but I wonder, would you prefer to have your own body back, the fit and strong one that you had when you were alive?
A: Yes, I would.
The anger had subsided and Anthony was decidedly more willing to listen to me.
Me: And would you prefer to be somewhere where you can make sense of everything that happened to you, instead of unsettling a young girl and her life?
A: Yes, I want out of here before anyone sees me.
Me: Good, well I am going to call in your spirit guide and ask him to locate your body and bring it here so that you can reunite with it.
Then we are going to open a portal of white light and you can use it to get back to the spirit realms where you can meet with your soul group and find out what your life on earth was really about. Would you like that?
A: Anything is going to be better than being stuck here. So, yes, I will go.
Me: Thank you, and when you go will you take all of that frustration and anger with you?
A: Yes, it wasn’t her fault.
Me: Good, I want you to look up now can you see your guide and your body and the white light?
A: Yes, I am going now and thank you.
Me: You are welcome.
Alice’s body was shuddering as Anthony left.
After the session she reported feeling much lighter and was very relieved to have let this energy go. She was able to move forward and make the changes she needed so that she could live happily and fulfil her higher purpose.
