Past Life
Regression
My life has been divided in to three parts so far and I feel the fourth which I am living now is my life as healer and
shaman.  I am on the path which opens into new branches so that I never stop learning.

My parents were very young when my mother got pregnant and subsequently they got married.  Back in the 50’s that
is pretty much what they did.  We were extremely poor and they fought constantly.  My Mom was pregnant too
many  times although there are only 5 living children.  Without the help of their families we would have had an even
tougher time of it. This was the first part of my life and another story.

I married young at the age of 17 to get out of the house and out of my parents control. They were very strict.  Literally
jumped from frying pan in to the fire to quote an old saying!  Married to a man who was very controlling, abusive and
had emotional issues. I had my own baggage also not to mention that I was extremely young and stupid!

I had my two children when I was 18 and 19.  They changed my life because I loved them so much and helped me
become more responsible and mature.  I was far from perfect, however they were my life and my focus.  I determined
that I would give them the best life I was capable of and hopefully they would lack for nothing.  We didn’t have a lot
extra but we did have everything we needed plus a little extra.

The second part of my life came when I met and married Jim.  He was much older than me and I was looking for
stability and security.  We had our ups and downs however he taught me a lot and I learned how to trust again. He
worked hard and was a good husband and father.  He passed away from lung cancer within 6 weeks after we had been
together for 12 years which was a major shock.  My whole life changed in that moment. I spent the last two weeks of
his life in the hospital going home to shower and sleep in short spurts.  He tried to fight but the cancer had progressed
too far.  He must have had it a long time prior to us finding out about it. After spending the entire day and night he died
at 10:30 on a beautiful Sunday morning, the sun was shining. He had fought all night, however his body just could not
survive the cancer. It was devastating for all of us.   That night while I was in bed he came to me and I felt him
physically holding my hand  throughout the night.  I had been brought up that when you die that was it and at some
time God would call you forth for Judgment day otherwise you knew nothing.  I wasn’t sure I believed that because
ever since I was a teenager anyone who passed away came to me in a dream to tell me they were ok.  At that time, I
thought it was just a dream.  After a month or so passed,  Jim also came to me in my dreams.  I was missing him
terribly and thought to myself “If I could only see you one more time and hold you”  he came to me in a dream that
night and he did hold me and I physically felt his body and  his arms around me. Then he told me he had to move on
and he would not come to me anymore.  

A friend recommended sometime after this that I go to a psychic (which I never believed in ) so I did agree to go
because I was searching and needed some direction and answers although while I was getting my reading I was very
closed and not forthcoming with any information whatsoever.  She taped the session  ( I listened to it several times later
on) and while I was there Jim spoke through her and everything she told me came true within a two year period.  I was
totally blown away and the floodgates opened.

So began the third part when I took  classes with her.  Learned HUNA which is the Hawaiian philosophy of life and
the basis for all other philosophies.  Also, took many other classes including tarot, past life regression workshop and
many others. I also read many books and went online to learn and research and met a shaman who lives in Hawaii and
shared a lot of information and learning with him.  One of my classmates, Dave recommended a set of books for me to
read called “Journey of Souls, and Destiny of souls and after reading those books  I went online again to see if there
was anyone in our area who did this type of regression called “Life between Lives” or LBL… I found the name of
Virginia Waldron who was a friend of Thelma Freedman who wrote a book and was trained by Micheal Newton who
also wrote several books and is the “expert“ in this field. Virginia was about three hours away.  So I contacted her via e
mail and set up an appointment for a past life regression and from there the LBL.

This is the story of my first regression other than a workshop setting. So Dave, my daughter Angela and I traveled out
to Syracuse to each have a regression with Virginia.

Virginia is a very intuitive and gifted hypnotist.  She works with Angels and I felt very comfortable with her.  We had
corresponded quite a lot via e mail and felt like friends.  Meeting in person, I felt a connection to her and very
comfortable with the idea of doing the regression.  I had no idea what to expect and tried not to have any thoughts as to
what might happen. I wanted to be open for the experience. I was also a little nervous and scared.

We went into a small room and she settled me in to a comfortable recliner with a blanket and dimmed the lights.  She
asked our Angels to be with us and help us.  At this point in my life I did not know who or what my guides were.  I
know I had some because I did make a connection with my Aumakua (higher self) via the breathing technique in HUNA
however, I did not know any names or had not “seen” them.  She began to relax me with music and her hypnotic
technique.

She took me to a safe, sacred place which was a beach on the ocean (looked a lot like Hawaii) and then to a beautiful
sacred garden with a stone bench, I sat on the bench … then she took me back in time .  I found myself on a dirt street
with wooden and/or brick buildings on each side and lots of traffic in the form of horse-drawn wagons, people rushing
to and fro, talking and shouting, and there was the bustle and noise of the city. Virginia asked me what I looked like,
who I was  and what I was doing there.  I am George Sullivan and I was a youngish man with black hair and I had on a
green frock coat with green plaid pants and I was somewhat of a dandy.  I had a pocket watch on a gold chain across
my waistcoat.  I had my hand in a small pocket that contained a ring.  She asked me what I was doing there and I said
“I’ve come to sell this ring.  It was my mothers.  So I go into a storefront and the man there knows me and says “what
have you come to sell me this time , George?”  I showed him the ring… I really did not want to sell it because it was the
only memento I had left of my mothers,  however I felt I had no choice because of my gambling debts.  So, we argued
back and forth and he gave me 20 bob for the ring.  I went out of the store and started walking down the road feeling
very low at selling the only thing I had left of my mothers.  Then I saw in my minds’eye “The Wheel of Fortune” and I
knew that I was going to gamble this money also.  Needless to say , George lost it.

I had to go home and my wife Angela and my son Joseph were there.  I have to tell them that I sold the ring and lost the
money.  I am full of despair.  Angela is very angry and Joseph who is 5 or 6 is crying although he doesn’t understand
what is happening.

We went back further, prior to my marriage and I am sitting in front of a large house on a wagon containing some small
pieces of furniture and with my mother who is crying.  There are men going in and out of the house removing all the
household goods.  Apparently everything including the house will be auctioned because my father who was a merchant
made some bad investments in some ships unbeknownst to myself or my mother and they all went sour.  We are going
to live with my Uncle Josiah and I am going to work for him.  I have not worked much at this point because my father
wanted me to have a better, easier life and felt there was plenty of time for me to learn the family business. I ran around
with my friends a lot drinking and gambling and generally having a great time.

My uncle was a big, hearty looking man, older than my mother.  I was to clerk for him in his shipping offices.  It was a
great shock to have to go to work everyday sitting on a tall, hard stool entering figures into the books. I was bored and
felt sorry for myself.  The head clerk was resentful of me and made my life at work miserable.  After we had been at
my uncle’s for a few months my Mother became ill and consequently she died. I was devastated because we had been
close and I loved her dearly.  My Uncle and Aunt felt that I should get married and with my wife’s income and my
work we should be fine and I wouldn’t be so lonely and sad.  They indicated that eventually I might take over the
business as they had no children of their own.  So, they began to introduce to me to suitable ladies. I did not really
connect with any of them so I thought any one of them would probably be a fine wife. At that point, I had no idea of
what marriage was or the effort required to make it work.  Angela was a little older and fairly quiet and pleasant plus
she had a small income so we decided that she should “suit” me just fine. Uncle and Aunt thought she would balance
me and help me settle down.  So, we got married.  I was quite unprepared for married life never having been responsible
for myself and  now I was the head of the house . When Angela became pregnant we were excited although I was scared
too.  She was sick all the time and I got bored and tired of it so I started going out with my friends again.  I began
gambling and at first I won.  Then, of course I lost and began stealing from our home and eventually my Uncle.  Uncle
Josiah fired me and was quite upset that I should repay him with deceit.


At the point I saw the “wheel” Virginia asked me what was I going to do?  As George, I was so full of despair that I
could not think or see any way out of this mess. I walked outside the town and taking my revolver I shot myself in the
head.

She then took me out of that body and indicated that I should not feel any pain or the actual death.  I was completely
shocked because as I am now I never could understand how a person could be so despairing as to take their own life.  
As George, I felt there was no other way out and thought my family would be better off without me and would go on
to have a better life because people would be kind and help them if I wasn’t in the picture.  My son Joseph was around
5 or 6 at the time.  I regretted leaving him.  I did love him although I wasn’t in love with Angela.

She then asked me if I knew the name of the place I lived and I responded “Dublin” and then she asked the year and I
said “1786 or somewhere thereabouts…

After taking me out of that life and then to neutral place which is not the other side but like an “in between” place for
lack of a better way to describe it.  She said there are people there and there is a “Being” behind you can you see them?  
Virginia asked “look at the “Being” who or what is it?  I said “No, I am afraid” but then I turned and it was a large male
Angel with long golden hair, very handsome/beautiful and suddenly I wasn’t afraid and he told me he was Gabriel.  He
filled me with love and I knew I am protected.  He is always with me and I have come to rely on him for guidance.  
Since then others have come to join us to help me with my Work.

Then, she had each person from this lifetime step forward individually and we looked in to each other eyes and I
realized that some of them were also from this lifetime, part of my soul group working together in both lifetimes. I cried
at this point because I saw Jim, my Mom and best friend who had also passed and several others.  We forgave each
other the pain and suffering we had caused in the lifetime. Mostly it was my actions which caused hurt to others.  I
found that the reason I am “Linda” now is to help my family.  I “chose” her to come and work again with some of these
same souls to get the “lesson” right this time.  I failed in the lifetime as George and as Linda I was turning that lesson
around.  Virginia indicated that perhaps I learned my lessons as George in a backward sort of way and I had to agree.   

Virginia slowly brought me back and when I awoke I could remember it as clearly as if it had just happened.  She taped
the session which I am referring to as I write this.  

I have been profoundly affected by these thoughts and grateful to have had the experience.  It was also quite humbling
and enlightening.  Virginia wanted to do the “regular” regression first and then later on the LBL.

Would I recommend regression to others?  If you are searching and really want to know yourself then by all means do
it.  You will never be the same and hopefully you will gain insight into what motivates you and perhaps the reasons
why you are here.  You will gain the ability to fulfill your life's purpose or at least focus more directly on it.  Then,
perhaps when you read my further story on Life Between Lives regression (coming in the future) you will lose any
anxiety about death and the future and get on with your work now.
