It became obvious at this point that Jasmine, in some form or fashion, was a writer or voracious reader in her spare time. Although I didn't recognize the city, this is the turning point where Jasmine's life began to faintly mirror mine, particularly the typewriter, books, and, yes, even the stress. I'm also a storyteller. After relaying this information to Barham, she then instructed me to see if I could picture Jasmine as a woman in her mid 40s.
What does she look like? What is she doing? Is she still reading, working at the ad agency, or writing? Maybe these are her books. The first dot I was able to connect between Jasmine and myself is that I've always longed to write my own book, and when I was a child, I dreamed of working for a book publisher. Barham, once again, directed me to move forward in Jasmine's life to the age of 70, then prompted me to recall Jasmine's dying day.
How exactly is a memory of death going to help me retrieve a happy memory from this therapy session? I wondered silently in my head. Still, I trusted Barham to lead me to the answer. I immediately saw Jasmine in a hospital bed, joking around with the nurses.
I noticed she didn't seem sad, weak, or feeble. Perhaps her pleasant demeanor with the hospital staff, even on her deathbed, is attributed to all the times I spent in real life with my mom at the nursing home where she worked for 21 years.
Or it could signal that I might one day pass away while telling jokes, in the—hopefully distant—future. Either way, the vision felt warm and welcoming, not sad. As Jasmine took her last breath, I saw the snapshots playing in her head, from the young girl in the library to the images of a mother who looked like mine—and the book covers. What would you say are the important lessons in that life experience? In response, I began to rattle off an incoherent list of themes based on Jasmine's life: spending time with the people you love; doing what you love; appreciating the small, everyday things; perseverance and persistence; being in a relaxed state near the end of life.
Ultimately, though, looking back on the experience, even though I couldn't draw parallels to everything in my conscious, real life, I think I figured it out. Seeing Jasmine surrounded by books and possibly writing in her spare time outside of the office reminded me to make more time for the things I used to enjoy, like reading. It encouraged me to perhaps even revisit my childhood goal of writing a book or pursuing a career as a book publisher. Near the end of the session, just before Barham brought me back to consciousness, she asked me to think of a figure or concept that I think of as a higher power, like God, the universe, or an angel.
She requested that I ask this spiritual guide a question based on what I saw and experienced. And with that, Barham lured me out of my hypnotic state, directing me to allow my prior personality to fade to black and to bring attention to my breathing. As Barham counted up to 10, I returned to my physical body—restored, alert, and energized with a sense of focus and intention.
I removed the eye mask, allowing my eyes to adjust to the fluorescent light emitted from my kitchen stove. I could only describe the feeling at that moment as relief. I felt lighter or perhaps enlightened. Everything made sense. I was pleased to know that after seeing Jasmine travel through many decades, from age 14 to 70, that a woman who looked exactly like my mother was a permanent fixture.
I instantly was reminded that with every milestone and moment of significance, my real-life mother has always been there to support me. Successful coalitions at the Centre have been usually headed by leaders with weak power bases. Is a green Diwali possible?

If somebody is capable of opening up past lives, it would be utterly irresponsible to open it. Others are drawn to certain places or countries that they immediately feel comfortable and familiar with.
Each life explored is a journey and an adventure. Will I receive a record of my session? I write down all your answers to my questions exactly as you say them. I then photograph those pages and email them to you within an hour after your session has ended.
You will therefore have a full record of everything you recalled during your session. The average number of pages I email a client after a session is around seven or eight. Am I guaranteed to go back in time? All you need is a healthy curiosity about the subject and a willingness to give yourself to it fully.
Can I choose what past life to remember? Your subconscious mind will make that decision for you. You will only remember various past life memories when you are ready to receive that information. Can you tell me who I was in a past life? No definitely not. Only you have access to your subconscious. My job is to help you relax and open your subconscious so that you can remember, then guide you through the process. I will not put thoughts into your mind or ask leading questions.
I will only ask you to expand on what you are already seeing. Do you take me to the time I passed away during a regression? Yes, but will only do so with your consent. I take clients to the time of, and the time immediately after, their passing. They are not harmed or traumatised by this.
Instead it opens up a new understanding of self and certain behaviours brought into this lifetime. I also take clients to the time between lives, again only with their consent.
How long does a Past Life Regression session last? The regression itself generally lasts around 1 hour and 45 minutes and this is followed with discussion about your experience. I like to talk with you before and after the session, so I would ask for at least 2 hours to be kept aside. In essence, the length of the session will be determined by what unfolds. Every session is unique. Does my session have to be face to face, or can it be online?
