Astral Travel and Past-Life Recall
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
—Rumi (1207–73), Persian mystic
The veil between Heaven and Earth has become thinner than it has ever been in our long history. Two events have taken place to allow this to happen. The raising of the Earth’s vibrations and the raising of human consciousness are creating wonderful possibilities for many people. These events allow your soul to travel more easily. Your soul can journey to many places and many different levels.
Astral Travel and the Akashic Records
Astral travel and reincarnation are connected. Through astral travel you can explore your previous lifetimes. When you astral travel, you have the ability to leave your body and ascend to the heavenly fields above. Your eternal soul can visit teaching temples, healing gardens, and other wonderful places. One of the places you can visit while in your soul form is the Akashic Records, or Universal Library. Your soul records, which contain all of your previous incarnations, are kept here. You can learn to access these records with special training. This book contains unique techniques to help you visit this amazing repository of universal wisdom. As an experienced past-life therapist, I have used some of these techniques to help my clients visit the Universal Library. When you arrive here in your soul form, you will go to where your soul records are kept and review them.
You might even continue to astral travel and journey to the Universal Library. This special library contains all of your past-life information. If you arrive here, you can open up your soul records and explore many of these previous lifetimes.
Through the years I have noticed that when clients go to the Universal Library, they easily scan their soul records and review or re-live several previous incarnations. I find that clients achieve more success by visiting the Universal Library rather than undergoing a past-life therapy session. Whenever I guide someone into a previous lifetime, the person will see, feel, and experience one or more incarnations. However, when I assist a client to astral travel and guide them to the Universal Library, many of them explore many previous incarnations while in their soul forms. These people access much more information and see more past lives than having a traditional past-life regression.
Astral travel and visiting the Universal Library are great and effective ways to experience many of your previous incarnations in a safe and quick manner. Many clients will either open a book that represents their soul records or experience a vision unfolding before them in the same manner as watching a movie on a screen. This is a powerful way to explore your former incarnations.
When you drift off to sleep, you begin the process of astral travel. This happens on a regular basis. Your eternal soul will slip out of your physical body and travel to amazing places. You as an eternal soul have a valid passport to visit the wonders of Heaven. (There is no paperwork in getting this type of passport, either!) Even regular visits to the Universal Library will be quite possible. For those of you not familiar with this heavenly library, it is a huge repository of all the records of the planet—and the events, including the memory storage, of your previous incarnations. Your soul records are here waiting for your inspection.
A visit to the Universal Library can be a humbling, profound, and sometimes an unsettling experience. This happens when you astral travel and visit this special library. Not only can you access many of your past lives here, but you can access future lives as well. As you become adept at both astral travel and past-life recall, you will visit this amazing library. You will learn to use your library card and receive incredible amounts of past-life and future-life information by using the techniques within this book. So enjoy this library.
Example of Astral Travel
and Akashic Records Work
We are blessed when someone special walks into our lives. The eyes; the smile upon the face; the actions, words, and mannerisms of this person affect us profoundly for the remainder of our days. Juan was one of these precious people.
When Juan came through the door the first time for an initial session, he filled the room with a peaceful but vibrant energy. I motioned for him to sit down in the recliner that faced directly across from my own armchair. As he sat down and gazed at me, I noticed immediately that something was seriously wrong. Juan’s neck was swelled up from a large tumor like a bullfrog in a pond.
As in every other session, I asked him to relax in the recliner. He responded to my voice and directions with amazing speed. Like the drop of a hat, he was gone. In seconds, his soul slipped out of his physical body upward out the top of his head. Juan’s true essence shimmered just above. His crown chakra surrounding his head glowed with a golden white light. Juan’s brown head of hair glistened as if the sun shone upon it. The gold and white luminance continued to swirl gently about this area. Then this shining energy descended into his physical form and flowed around the body as well.
“All right,” I said, settling down into my comfortable chair. “I want you to look around and tell me what you see.”
“I am sitting on grass underneath a palm tree. I can see large buildings near me.” My client’s eyes moved rapidly beneath his closed lids as he spoke.
“I want you to stand up,” I guided him with a soft voice.
That is exactly what Juan did! He stood up in the room with his eyes shut.
“No. Sit down,” I laughed as he sat back down. “In your mind, I want you to stand up.”
I continued guiding him. “Now, start walking toward these buildings. Describe what you see and how you feel.” This time, Juan remained prone in the recliner and did not venture forth on the physical level.
On the spiritual level, it was another story! He was like a kid in a candy shop. With excitement and a big smile on his face, Juan identified these structures and monuments as Egyptian. “I’m inside a temple walking pass the numerous columns. I can smell incense and I can hear the temple singers.”
“Who are you and what are you doing here?” I was intrigued with it all.
“I’m a minor priestess. My name is Nefera. Some of the local farmers are worried about the annual flood. They want a blessing from the goddess to ensure that the sacred waters come and flood their lands that sit beside the sacred Nile.”
Well, I just had to ask, “Which goddess?”
“Isis. She is the goddess of fertility, but everyone knows that. Why would you even ask me something like that?” A perplexed look was on his face.
“Oh, that’s all right. Please continue.”
Juan, known as Nefera in that lifetime, resumed speaking. He kept up a running commentary on all that he saw, felt, and knew about that particular past life.
A great deal of information was given freely by this minor priestess. Essentially, it showed the respect given toward the land, the crops, and the spiritual beliefs of that ancient civilization. The earth was loved and cherished. This philosophy is something that our modern world so dearly needs to relearn.
It was time to close the past-life session down and bring Juan back to the present world. “All right, I want you to go to the final moments of your life, Nefara. Tell us what you see and feel. Allow the final scene to unfold.”
As expected, Juan, or Nefera, described the death scene, the final moments of that ancient incarnation. “I’m very old. My bones ache. I’m lying in the shade of a beautiful tree. I can feel the warm breeze on my face. My breathing is very labored. Oh, no. There is a great pain in my chest.” Juan grabbed his chest as he lay there in the recliner. Then his hands dropped to his side and he became more relaxed. His breathing returned to normal.
Now it was time to bring him back into his body and into the room. “What is happening now? Allow yourself to float above the scene.” I watched his face and paid attention to his breathing. During all of this, the beautiful colors still surrounded his body and swirled within his aura. In just a few seconds I was planning on directing Juan back into this physical realm.
Juan and his spiritual helpers had other plans. “I can see beautiful angels coming toward me. One of them is floating right in front of me. Oh, the lights are indescribable. She is smiling at me. She’s grabbing my hand and taking me somewhere.” The light that covered Juan’s head glowed even brighter. A subtle white energy covered his face. A single tear trickled down his cheek.
Well, plans do go awry. I guess I wasn’t going to guide him back to Earth right away! Obviously, the powers that be had a greater destination in mind.
With the same amount of passion he had shown during his past-life recall, Juan described his visit to Heaven. He entered a beautiful healing garden in his soul form, escorted by his guardian angel. A few teaching spirit guides were there with him as well.
“I’m floating here.” Underneath his closed eyelids, his eyes moved from side to side rapidly. Juan was definitely seeing things. “Several angels—I think they are healing angels—are surrounding me. A couple of the spirit guides are healers, too. I feel as if I’m on a table. All of them are laying their hands on me and sending energy into my body.”
My client was very quiet for several minutes. I knew it was best to let things be and not interfere with this angelic healing event. There is a divine wisdom, a universal intelligence, that exists in the heavenly fields. And, yes, it also is present within the earthly realm.
From there, Juan described getting up from the table, walking along a pathway, and then entering a huge library where he saw an old book on a wooden table. “I’m touching the old book. It smells musty.”
“These are your soul records. Whenever you want to, you can go to the Universal Library and access your soul records. You can see many past lives when you open the book and look at the pages. Let your soul visit this place as often as you wish,” I explained.
Juan was quiet for a moment and then spoke softly, “I’m opening up my soul records and turning the pages. I just stopped at one particular page. I can see glimpses of another lifetime in Egypt when I was a supervisor or overseer of farm lands. I am an expert when it comes to planting wheat and other grains in an optimum manner. I teach farmers how to do all this, and I also look after storage of the grains. I have a beautiful home with lush lands around. My life is wonderful and I feel blessed.”
My client then described the final years of that second ancient Egyptian lifetime. He talked about feeling many aches and pains in his body. He then mentioned how he lay down on a bed in his small estate. Sandalwood incense burned profusely as two priests chanted a special song in the room. Juan said that his wife and grown children surrounded his deathbed. Then he mentioned floating above the scene, going through the roof, where he looked down at the estate and lush land that was beside the Nile. From this point he described how his angels and spirit guides started to gather around his soul form.
When everyone up there, including Juan, felt the healing session and visit to the Universal Library were done, he spoke, “The angels and guides are finished. I am being told it is time to return back to Earth.”
Well! I had my instructions from above, so I gently guided Juan back into his corporeal body. The colors about him returned to normal as his soul descended down through the crown chakra at the top of his head. His eternal soul slipped into his body like a mist floating through the trees.
He opened his eyes, smiled at me, and said, “I feel much better. I could feel this cool energy working throughout my body. Wow, I was right there in Egypt and up there in a special healing garden. I could really see the library and feel the book. It was great.”
Juan, who had a form of lymphatic cancer, came back a few days later, after having a chemotherapy treatment, for a follow-up session with me. An amazing event had taken place. The swollen lymph nodes in his neck and in his abdomen had decreased dramatically in size. For all practical purposes, this should not have happened, since chemotherapy does not normally work in that manner nor does it work that quickly. In any case, it was great to see this wonderful result.
This time we focused on an energy healing session and a past-life regression. As before, the beautiful healing colors that came down from the heavenly fields above entered his aura and swirled about his physical body. This all happened as the crown chakra at the top of his head expanded and allowed this Divine Energy to enter into the physical as healing colors.
I felt honored and blessed to be able to watch this happen, to see this amazing light show before my eyes. Through it all, I observed the different hues of light and energy work through his aura, his chakras, his lymphatic system, and into his glands and organs within. As a medical intuitive able to see these colors, it was an amazing event to watch.
Juan was able to handle chemotherapy treatments and to heal himself. He, along with a little help from his spiritual friends above, conquered his disease.
Juan came to see us over a period of four or five years. He received numerous treatments from both my wife and me. Juan continued to recall detailed and interesting past lives through each past-life therapy session he had with me. His strong connection to ancient Egypt and other civilizations allowed him access to the knowledge and the wisdom of the ancients. He brought this valuable information back to the earthly realms, where he used it to help others on this planet.
Meditation and Akashic Records
Contemplation Exercise
Along with the techniques and exercises provided in earlier chapters, I thought it would be beneficial to add the following exercise here.
This is a variation of the Past-Life Contemplation exercise found in chapter 5. Again, it is a very easy and relaxing exercise that will allow you to visit the Universal Library and access your soul records. When you do that, you can review or re-live some of your previous incarnations. It is designed for you to employ in your own private and quiet space. A bedroom or a quiet place in your home is the best venue for this exercise.
In the same manner as the Past-Life Contemplation exercise, begin by lighting a few white candles within this private room. Light some incense as well. Sandalwood, frankincense, and myrrh are three of the best ones to use. As mentioned before, smell is a powerful tool that can be used to recall past-life memories and feelings. By using lighted candles and incense in the room, you will also raise the vibrations there, allowing angels and high-minded spirit guides to enter into this area. This protects you while you are in a meditation.
Now, find a comfortable place to sit or lie down. The Chi Deep-Breathing exercise described in chapter 5 should be employed. You do not have to chant May at this time. Simply doing the breathing exercise will be sufficient. Once you have expelled your breath after the third deep-breathing attempt, relax and let your mind drift. As you do this, keep focusing on your breath rising and falling in your chest. Do this for a few moments. Then gaze toward the wall facing you if you are in a sitting position, or gaze at the ceiling above you if you are lying down. Just keep staring through the wall or ceiling and allow your mind to drift. Do not focus on anything in particular.
After a few minutes of this, you are ready for the next phase. Now, say to yourself, “I want to visit the Universal Library. I want to access my soul records.” Then let the thought go. At this point you can either leave your eyes open staring at the wall or ceiling, or just close your eyes.
It is crucial that you do the next thing. Let your imagination take over. Imagine that you are floating upward on a cloud toward white marbled buildings. These magnificent buildings should look like the ancient structures found in Rome and Athens. Then imagine that you are floating down onto a stone pathway that leads to one of these Greco-Roman-style buildings made of white marble. Feel an angel or spirit guide beside you as you walk up the ancient white steps and through marble columns, where you stop in front of two huge golden doors. In your mind, ask for your angel or guide to push the great doors open inwards. Then step into the large, spacious ancient library. See the wooden tables, the numerous bookshelves. Imagine that ancient scrolls and old leatherbound books are placed on the tables. See hundreds of books on the many shelves along with pigeonholes filled with papyrus scrolls. Smell the dusty books and ancient scrolls. If you need to, remember walking through a library in this lifetime in order to help you envision this place.
As you do this, there is a very good chance the images in your imagination will switch over to actual visions of a huge library full of many books and scrolls. One moment you will be walking through the golden doors, and the next, you will be exploring this heavenly library and finally you will head to where your soul records are located. Perhaps you will go to a private room where your soul records are placed upon an ancient wooden table. You might even imagine or visualize a spirit guide wearing a long white robe pointing down at an ancient book, your soul records.
In your mind, reach down and open the ancient book containing your soul records. As you turn the yellow pages, a new vision will unfold. Even if you have to imagine a scene, allow it to unfold. Perhaps if you are successful, you will see a past life there as a Roman soldier or a healer working with herbs. As the scenes start to materialize more, you may see buildings and people in strange clothing. You may even smell certain smells, such as flowers or trees or smoke. Remember that the sense of smell can be very strong during a past-life recall. Just drift and let the scenes continue.
Watch the scenes for a few minutes. This previous lifetime may keep unfolding for a bit longer and then finally end, or another previous incarnation may appear on the screen of your mind. If you feel it necessary, turn another page or two in your soul-records book. This action will sometimes allow a new vision of another incarnation to appear. In any event, watch it and study the pictures you are observing.
When you feel you have observed enough, let yourself close the soul-records book and step back. Soon you will be back in the private room attached to the Universal Library. Thank your angels and spirit guides in your thoughts. Then allow your soul to wander back through the ancient library, past the tables and shelves, out the golden doors and down the marble stairs. Sense or see your angel and spirit guide walking side by side. Finally, feel that you are floating on a cloud with both of these loving beings beside you. Let yourself float down into that beautiful garden again. Once you are there in your mind, thank your guardian angel and spirit guide for assisting you. Visualize both these celestial beings as they float slowly away from you.
Now, take another deep breath in and feel yourself back in your private room. Feel the peace and comfort within as you return to normal consciousness.
By using your imagination at the start, you have opened up other areas of your brain. The imagination will change over to an actual astral travel experience where you visit the Universal Library. You can use this variation of the Past-Life Contemplation exercise whenever you wish. The more you practice this exercise, the more times you will visit the Universal Library and access your own soul records. More and more of your past lives will be shown to you. You will become adept at this and even start to receive visions of this special library and also past-life pictures while in a waking state.
You might be on a quiet walk and suddenly a scene of the Akashic Records will flash before your eyes. A scene of a previous embodiment may unfold immediately afterwards. This is an indication that you have lifted the veil that hides the past and revealed one of your incarnations. Use all of the techniques and exercises within this book to enhance your experiences. Allow your eternal soul to journey; healing and understanding will follow.
