Rediscovering A Fragmented Soul Through Past Life Regression and Emotional Healing Techniques

In a recent session involving past life regression and soul retrieval, the following conversation ensued. In the past life regression, the client found herself as a young man named Brian, standing at the edge of a cliff and feeling very sad. He was staring at the base of the cliffs at the water's edge. In intense grief, he initially only had the feeling that he had lost someone so dear to him that he couldn't conceive of living any more. The pain was too great.

Unable to move backward to find out the source of that pain, she instead moved forward in the story and found herself peacefully under the water. Her understanding being that she, as the young man, committed suicide due to his grief. Even after a couple of attempts to find out their backstory, she was unable to go there.

Instead, we went on to another lifetime, which she was able to do easily. The following day, she contacted me and we discussed the idea of soul retrieval as well as a few other questions.

Client: "What part was the soul retrieval? Was it the young man in Ireland that killed himself? And are you visually able to see this, too, at the same time I’m experiencing it?"

Patty:

"The soul retrieval has to do with YOU and retrieving YOUR fragments. The young man on the cliffs considering suicide was a soul fragment that belonged to you.  We know he was considering jumping and then you had the flash of being peacefully underwater. That is typical of how people experience a death involving water.  Sometimes after death, a piece of us might stay under water, go back home, or to the place they stood while they were contemplating the jumping, etc.  This piece is called a soul fragment. 

"Soul retrieval is when we not only identify the location of the "lost" soul fragment but also bring it back. We then reintegrate back into you. This was when I had you welcome him back into your heart. With the reintegration, the lost parts of "you," traits, life force, etc, that belonged to the "you" as a soul in that lifetime, are returned.  That’s the "retrieval" part.

Think of these pieces as ‘life force’ or 'energy.' When we lose soul fragments, we lose energy, our life force. People with low energy have lost a lot of soul fragments. Fragments get lost through trauma. And yes, I can most often see what’s going on in someone else's story." 

We then talked about the repression of emotions in her story and the inability to go back to the painful story that led up to the suicide. Sometimes this happens in a past life regression when the pain is so deep. However, in not going to that place, we missed the opportunity to resolve it and move it out, which is the main point of the regression. Sometimes, when working with trauma, a small layer has to come off first to get to the next layer. And then another layer comes off to get to the next layer. Other times, the story slowly emerges on its own in its own time as the soul is ready to handle it. People who have done a lot of personal work where these layers have already been peeled back have a tendency to get to these deeper layers more easily.

Patty: "I realize you didn’t say you were depressed but the key thing we're talking about is grief.  So I'm curious. Repressed anger is behind depression, and behind the anger is grief. In our helping you express your grief, the anger is freed."

Client: Yes, I have been recently working on both anger and grief and have been feeling much lighter. I think I have been slowly transitioning from anger to grief.

Patty: "I think you’re right about the transitioning from anger to grief.  It sounds like you’ve taken a lot of layers off already with the work you’ve done. I didn’t feel depression coming from you, but rather serious REpression. It was as if you worked really hard NOT to express the grief. Your body was extremely tense and quivering in its struggle to not sob. I could feel such a desire to do so, but at the same time, what felt like a learned mechanism to 'hold it all in'."

"Watching a  sappy gut wrenching movie all by yourself in a purposeful way so you can learn how to cry purposefully helps move grief.  Once we start the crying, we can start piling on to the fire, so to speak, what I call “ungrieved grief” meaning all the other things you've never grieved about. The loss of someone you love, a pet, etc. Grief and anger have a cycle.

There is “x” amount of energy that has to be moved and at some point of movement, the “well”, so to speak runs dry.   Repressing the energy that wants to be expressed and moved outward only adds to the pile of unmoved energy. One becomes like a human pressure cooker, waiting for someone to turn the valve and let steam come out.

Client: "I do get tears to come from watching a movie or from feeling the emotions from others, but it’s hard to pull out the grief from myself. If I feel a wave of grief and tears wanting to come, I most usually end up yawning for the release instead. It’s not a conscious choice but a nice cry would be good every now and then."

Patty: "We yawn to get oxygen, so when this happens next time, just open your mouth and breathe. Give the energy an escape route. You heard me say, "Open your mouth" multiple times while we were working. When we close our mouth we stop time and repress whatever is attempting to emerge be it in our consciousness, our mind, body or emotions.  Holding our breath and closing our mouth stops time and movement.

"That un-grieved grief, repressed trauma, repressed emotions, etc, all go into cellular memory. The body has to hold it. It doesn’t disappear.  The body can only hold so much before it goes into a state of a lack of ease, or “dis-ease” which becomes disease. Emotions unmoved are at the root of disease. And when the body gets full it will gain weight if it must just so it has room to hold more of the that unmoved energy.

  "I often will make a fun note for someone and at the top and write "Rx - watch a gut wrenching movie purposefully and therapeutically until you're all cried out.

Client: I have another question. Why did you think that I wasn't able to get the emotions up even thought my whole mask was wet with tears. (this was during Covid).

"What it felt like to me was the continual necessity or chosen repression of emotions in its effort to “hold it all together.” Your eyes may have been pouring tears but the body was rock hard with stress fighting letting go of control. Your mouth was shut, muscles tense, lips were quivering like you were "holding on for dear life," as my mom used to say.

"Remember my saying “open your mouth and let it move through you.”? You could barely open it farther than an 1/8” and then quickly shut it. It’s fear. And the fear is multi-faceted. For some that fear is, 'If i don’t hold it all together, I’ll never be able to get it under control again.'

"Usually if I put my hand on someone’s chest and they’re holding in the cry, they get tired of the pressure and let go with a big sob. You held out.

"When we go through an experience like you did, especially in childhood, when it’s not ok to just outright cry, we learn to hold it in. Especially in abusive and traumatic experiences. We say , 'I mustn’t cry, I mustn’t let them see me cry, I need to be strong,' etc. especially where social pressures are all around us to hold it together. The 'never let them see you sweat' mentality is rampant.

"When you’re a little girl, or even older and you're trying to hide from a threat typically, the first thing they do is be as quiet as possible. It’s something learned very early. And to achieve that holding the breath comes naturally, as if, "I mustn't make a sound."

"This comes through a lot in lifetimes of children during wartime when they're hiding under their bed or in a closet and a soldier comes in their room looking to see if anyone's there. The child in hiding holds their breath and doesn't move for fear of being found out. The body and breath freeze. When we get triggered all over again by a similar threat it becomes a standard and quick response. Fear is present and the body remembers real danger and goes into survival mode.

"Reclaiming trust is a big part of being willing to let it go. Trust has to be earned, not freely given. The re-empowerment of the self as part of one's personal journey is key."

This journey through past life regression and soul retrieval underscores the impact of unprocessed emotions and the importance of reclaiming lost aspects of ourselves. By acknowledging and integrating these soul fragments, we move towards wholeness, healing, and a deeper understanding of our emotional landscapes.

If this exploration resonates with you, I invite you to reflect on your own experiences. Are there emotions you've suppressed or aspects of yourself that feel disconnected? Remember, healing is a layered process, and each step brings you closer to your true self.
