info_outlineIt is a moment that may sound terrifying, but for me, it became a key to unlocking a deeper layer of emotional healing, spiritual healing, and self-discovery.
In this deeply personal episode of Awaken Your Authentic Self, the tables are turned. I step into the guest seat to share the raw, unscripted details of my recent past life regression experience with Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist Craig Meriwether, founder of Sacred Mystery Hypnotherapy. With extensive experience guiding clients through subconscious exploration and spiritual healing, Craig gently leads us through one of the most profound experiences of my life.
Together, we explore the vivid emotional journey of revisiting a past life, the moment of death, and the "in-between" space where soul contracts are explored. Most importantly, we connect the dots between themes that emerged in that regression and the anxiety, unexplained fears, and recurring patterns I had been carrying in my current life.
If you have ever felt a fear that did not seem to belong to you, found yourself repeating a pattern you cannot seem to break, or wondered whether there may be a deeper layer to your healing journey, this episode is for you.
