I have had the opportunity to work with several autistic children and bi-polar individuals. I see them energetically from such a different perspective and view. With autism, what I have discerned from the individuals is that there is a portion of the soul that literally is 'out-of body'.
The Native cultures have worked with this phenomena for centuries; their term for working with this is 'soul retrieval'. Due to emotional traumas that have carried over from parallel existences, or from the cellular memories embedded within the psyches, or from physical traumas sustained as a small infant, the individual feels the earth realm is too scary and frightening a place to remain, therefore pulling a piece or several from their focused energy within the body, or soul fragments, back into the astral levels.
When this happens the individual doesn't have the power, the focus, the emotional parts of self, to fully integrate into a society based on drama and intensity. They become inept at exchanging in normal fashions and the sense of spatial dimension, boundaries, and appropriate emotional responses flounder and never bloom. In pulling the pieces and/or fragments of self back into the body, the soul has the ability through time and direction to become an active,emotional being.
As to bi-polar, how I've seen the brain, the compass of the two hemispheres goes 'cattywhampas' (a word from my childhood). I see the brain as operating on a north/south grid. It's as if the compass short-circuits and the needle shifts to an east/west position, thereby limiting access to the neuro-responders within the brain. From my view, it's a matter of realigning the compass, to allow the individual a clearer map to navigate. The key is to hold the emotional compass intact, so that the needle stays pure and direct allowing the brain to function. Again, it all goes back to emotions and choices. On some level a contract has been made to fulfill this type of lifetime, albeit a fascinating one.
Carry-overs
Another client is an incredible artist. Her work is sold throughout the U.S., mostly in the form of cards and stationary, coupled with magnets. Her goal is to expand her work in new directions, artistically as well as financially. Her big physical challenge has been adult acne, to the point that it keeps her locked up within the confines of her home and work shop, in essence a prisoner in her own world. The pictures that came up were amazing. There were two carry-over lifetimes that were influencing her world as she now knew it. One was a lifetime in plague-infested France, where she was sequestered to her village and quarantined due to the infestation of the deadly bacteria. She felt abandoned and isolated. She watched others die all around her. She became infected, the sores on her face scarred. She lived to tell the tale, however, she never "faced" the world the same as she was quite embarrassed by her horrible scars upon her face.
Another lifetime, once again in France, (I asked her if she spoke French in this life, and she replied with a laugh, it was the only foreign language she had learned) she was an actress of ill-repute, acting upon the smaller stages in the back alleys of Paris. It was not a glamorous life, but she loved the life of independence it afforded her. She used the make-ups and stage powders and paste of the time, that were unfortunately filled with lead and/or arsenic. She became poisoned by the toxicity, sores and scarring the results, in the end eventually taking their toll and her with it. Now in this lifetime she is faced with adult acne, a reflection of other existences where the scars went further than skin deep, into the emotional tissues of despair, isolation and rejection.
This life is an opportunity for her to clear out the old fears from the carry-overs, isolate the emotions rather than herself, understanding them for what they are, release them, reassess her goals and move out of her self imposed isolation, (in essence using the acne as an excuse to not move forward) clean up her diet, exercise more, breathe better, and face her future with clear insight, love and sense of purpose. That purpose is taking her art to larger venues to touch more peoples' lives with her insights, colors and inspirations so she can do what she really desires which is to work with the orphaned children of Africa. It's a very rewarding goal and an interesting and inspiring story of the tapestry we weave to expand our emotional selves to greater vistas.
Being everything
Another of my clients that I have worked with for the past year and a half, is a strong willed woman, that on my first visit with her, I felt wasn't willing or ready to take the responsibility to change. How wrong I was. She has been one of the most determined and focused individuals I have met. She has been consciously working on changing old patterns of belief, cellular memories, reactive behavior and becoming more responsible for ALL things that take place in her life, and consciously making choices that are for the betterment of her being. She is an inspiration.
I have learned a great deal from the many sessions we have had over the past several years. In fact, I could probably write an entire book about her, as her stories are so varied as well as inspiring. The one I am going to share can actually become a tool, a great visual for all of us to help us change our view, our perspective on how we see things and manifest our daily lives.
The picture that came to me was a very simple image. She was out in the ocean on a raft. The sky was blue and dominant, the air warm and breeze-less. Land was no where in sight and there was a mast with a lifeless sail. She was absolutely inert. It was a perfect analogy of her life at that moment. No visible signs of movement, no action, no change, static, a lack of awareness. No creation.
This is where I truly had one of those moments, an epiphany, a clarity in thought and connection that is hard to translate into multiple letters of the alphbet. It's as if the colors of the trees intensified and I could see the connection between all things created. It was one of those gold star moments. Please extend your consciousness to see the bigger dimensionality of this, because I know in expressing this, you'll think, okay. I've heard this before, or this is no big deal. Read the words, feel them with your heart and use them for visualizing how to manifest your highest potential.
I got "it". The "IT" she was trying to express to me to share with herself on the earth level. I got the picture. She was Everything. She was the cloudless sky. She was the still, calm, silent water. She was the raft. She was the mast. She was the land so far away, and the cloud not manifested and the wind that wasn't blowing. She was all there was, is and will ever be. This is US. We are everything. A spark of God, the Universe, we are everything, connected by stardust. She then had to visualize herself as all of IT to change the view, the perspective. She had to be the cloud to create change, to be the wind to create flow, to be the sea to float with a current, be the sail for movement, she had to be the land to direct her vision upon.
It is a beautiful analogy and metaphor to focus our stagnant dreams. This is how we create the change we so desire in our lives. We have to take responsibility for all that goes on within our lives, as it is all a reflection of our interior self (ves), as we are multi-faceted individuals connected by the threads of conscious creation. We BEcome the people we desire to be around, to spend time with, to love. It all comes from within us. We have to love ourselves for true transformation to take place and take hold. Be the raft, the sky, the art, the song, the love. Emmerse yourself within the molecules and become one with the elements, realize the potentiality of creation. Put on music if it will help the visualizations. Go outside and connect with the trees, the flowers, the meadows, the birds the sky. Breathe it all in. Forgive yourself and others. Then love yourself if only a step at a time. The key is to "just do it" as Nike says.
And as you can image my client became one with her vision and created all the changes needed for her to reach land safely and happily. You can do this too.
Happy sailing.
