Connecting Our Past Lives…

(It has always been my belief that we are all connected. After receiving this from a recent client I thought it would be something to share.) -RW

If you had talked to me 10 years ago about past life regression I would have looked at you like you had 3 heads. What the heck is that?

Recently, I found out just “what it is” in a session that I thought was going to be just a reading/mediumship. Oh boy, did it get good.

So what the heck is it? Wikipedia says past life regression is a technique that uses hypnosis to recover what practitioners believe are memories of past lives or incarnations. Okay, so basically you get hypnotized and remember who you were before this life you’re living now. That’s just ridiculous…you can’t remember what happened 1000 years ago. Or is it ridiculous? Read on…

I arrive at Rick’s office for my session and we shoot the shit for about 10 minutes. Without warning he says, “Your friend Mike, did he have something wrong with his heart?” Why yes he did, in fact, that is precisely how he died. He was sort of on borrowed time having had trouble with his heart in the past. Mike was finally living his life the way he wanted, on the coast of California. Just when life seemed to be going so well for him, he suddenly passed away. “Mike’s here,” Rick said. That made me smile. I had been thinking of him constantly and he was showing up in my dreams. After reading “They’re Not Gone” by A.P. Morris, I knew that if you can’t get someone out of your head that has passed on they probably have a message for you. Needless to say, I wasn’t surprised to hear he was there and happy for his presence. Then Rick started saying more names of people that were coming through. Describing who they were and how they died. He told me it seemed like the spirits wanted to use me as a messenger. I’m no stranger to readings from Rick so I expected all of this, but what I didn’t expect was what happened next.

“How much coffee you had this morning,” Rick asked.

“Wow, that’s an off the wall question,” I thought to myself.

Happily I replied, “Only one cup.”

“Good, close your eyes and try to relax,” he said.

The next 35 minutes (which felt like 15) were amazing, interesting, enlightening, and above all, like a door way had just opened for me. Through guided meditation Rick brought me to my 21st birthday, then 16th birthday, then 10th, 3rd, 2nd and so on. We got to the day I was born where I saw myself being placed immediately on the left side of my mothers chest after birth. The doctor was at the foot of the bed and my father to her left (amazingly verifiable from my mother later that night). He took me back further and further. My body felt relaxed and motionless. I could hear Rick asking questions and I would immediately answer him like someone else was talking for me. There was virtually no thought in the things I was saying. The first thing that popped in my mind rolled off my tongue. Now I can’t remember everything (which is very common for hypnosis), but one of the things I do remember is seeing a man surrounded by fire and I was standing off to the side just watching. I felt like a little girl and he was my father.  As he asked more questions the answers came. One after another the information kept flowing with ease.

“What year is it?” he asked.

“1879,” I replied.

“Where are you?” he asked.

“Peru,” I replied.

I also remember saying things like “Knowledge is key” and “Learn love and joy.”

Now I hear Rick tapping one finger, then 2. My eyes slowly opening like they had been glued shut. I hear 3 fingers tapping, 4 fingers tapping, the sounds in the room, then bam…my eyes opened. Wow! That was fascinating! Rick and I sit for a moment and take time to process what had just occurred.

Throughout the session, I discovered that I am a “channel” and that is why Rick and I are together again. He’s helping to hone my intuition. Possibly that’s why so many spirits wanted me to be their messenger. People were coming through that I had no relation to and I couldn’t understand their messages. From reading A.P. Morris’ book I know that spirits tend to group together. If you have a connection with someone in this life, chances are you had a connection with them in another life. After having had a past life regression I am now more open to the connections I have with the people that surround me. Pondering if, how well, and how long I knew them before. Guess it could be hundreds or even thousands of years!

The Downings…Grieving the Loss of A Child.

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
God only knows what I’d be without you

“God Only Knows” -The Beach Boys

The following is from the A.P.Morris site “They’re Not Gone” . This is probably one of the most important sessions in my fifteen year history as a medium. Thank you Candace for the hope you bring everyday.

Grieving the death of a child is by far the worst pain a parent can feel. How can it NOT be? A parent’s first instinct is to protect their children.

Dealing with grief from losing a child can seem near impossible and for many, believing in an afterlife is the only thing that can help at all. It won’t take the pain away but for fleeting moments, knowing that their angel is in fact safe and happy, can provide small windows of peace.

Mathy Downing is a parent who has had to survive the unsurvivable — losing a child. At the tender age of 12 years old, her daughter Candace passed away. The most crippling and horrific part was that it could have been avoided.

For most of us growing up, we watched our parents put their trust in doctors. At that time, medications were more of a last resort for any problem or illness. Unfortunately, in the current times, pharmaceutical drugs are prescribed at an astronomical rate.

Sadly, Candace’s life was unfairly taken from her because she was a causality of this epidemic.

( “They’re Not Gone”, excerpt from Chapter 13 –An Angel Like No Other, pg. 194)

( excerpt of Mathy speaking to Psychic Medium, Ricky Wood about her daughter Candace )

“You’re right,” Mathy responded sadly. “She was not depressed, she was put on anti-depressants not for depression, but for anxiety, and she did take her own life.” Mathy already knew unequivocally that Candace was not depressed and that the drugs she was prescribed caused it. At that moment she felt understood watching Ricky’s reaction. After a roller coaster ride of medications, Candace met an untimely death.

Although Mathy already believed in the afterlife and our own innate ability to receive messages from our loved ones, Mathy was comforted by Ricky Wood’s ability to understand the absolute devastation that she felt. She was also amazed by his ability to ’see’ her at a future event and provide advice.

( “They’re Not Gone”, excerpt from Chapter 13 –An Angel Like No Other, pg. 195)

“Mathy,” Ricky continued, “I see you standing at a podium in front of hundreds of people. BE STRONG. You have to be strong because they want to see your tears.” Ricky continued adamantly, “You have got to be strong. You can’t cry in front of them because that is what they want to see.” Six months later, Mathy was standing at a podium in front of hundreds of people addressing the FDA. She stood tall and strong telling them,  on“I am not impressed with you sitting back in your ivory towers passing judgment on our children, and our children’s blood is your hands.” She did not cry. This statement was replayed in the New York Times, World News Tonight, Fox, MSNBC, and the Today Show. Even at a medical conference, the head speaker quoted her in discussing the corruption of the drug industry in marketing drugs, over medication in our society, and how they are being used to make a buck.

Mathy Downing and her family continue to tirelessly advocate for parents and children’s rights to be informed of the potential tragic side effects of medicating children. Their strength and determination will save countless lives– sparing others the unthinkable grief from losing a child .

The death of a child is unfair, excruciatingly painful, and will probably never completely leave you. But my hope is that you will find some peace knowing that the love you and your child share will never die. It can’t. Your child is a spirit who is still with you today.

They’re Not Gone.

Wishing You Love & Peace,

"Awakening in America" and Robert Taub. An Amazing Journey.

I met Robert Taub several months ago. My better half and I were attending The Valley Forge Body,Mind and Spirit Expo. Amy wanted to try talking to an Intuitive, healer, psychic, or seer of some kind. We walked by many. Some promised many things – the future, instantaneous healings, and the like. I walked past Robert . Twice. He radiated peace… not in a glazed “head in the clouds” kind of way. His demeanor was more like someone who seemed truly content. Peacefully fearless. We both attended his seminar and enjoyed it immensely (the group healing was amazing).  We have spoken with him several times since then. During that time Amy’s  book  “They’re Not Gone” was released. I’ve finally expanded my office. I’m giving  seminars. I’ve surround myself with truly supportive people. My life is transforming. Robert Taub has been a part of the journey. Please. Read on…..

CHICAGO, IL — According to author and healer Robert Taub, this is the most significant time in human history to be alive. The world is undergoing a profound transformation that has the potential to create a literal heaven here on Earth. This unprecedented opportunity is available to everyone now— individually, societally and as a planet.

“Since 2000, humanity has been rapidly awakening and moving into a new paradigm,” says Taub. “Vibrant health, happiness, inner peace and prosperity are more possible than ever. We really have the potential now to work together to create something much better. I’m helping my clients to do that within their own lives, which ultimately extends outward, by their examples, to benefit others, too.”

Taub provides his clients with healing and transformational guidance through individual sessions, a book series and workshops that he teaches nationwide at healing expos. His clients are national and international, and he usually works by phone.

“Because I can see and work directly with a client’s energy body as we talk, being in the same room is unnecessary,” says Taub. “Of course, in person I can connect a physical presence with the energy, and it’s nice to see faces.”

That’s one reason Taub enjoys doing workshops at expos. Taub uses his early career experience as a technology trainer to deliver highly engaging and entertaining workshops on his healing work. He will be appearing  at the Body, Mind, Spirit Expo in Voorhees, New Jersey, from May 21 through 23. His workshop on Saturday, May 22, 2–4 pm, will focus on Personal and Planetary Ascension, and he will offer guidance on awakening and healing in America, embracing the newly arriving energies, preparing for 2012 and gradually and safely activating our full DNA potential. In addition to a group healing, workshop participants also receive a copy of Taub’s book, Awakening in America®, a guidebook for spiritual awakening, the title of which was revealed to him in a dream. Part guide to awakening into higher consciousness and part spiritual adventure novel, Awakening in America® provides perspective on some of modern society’s most baffling questions: “Why haven’t I found my soul-mate and created the perfect relationship?” “Who am I anyway?” “Why am I here?”

Prior to writing the book, higher guidance also led Taub to become a healer. At one time an MBA with a comfortable corporate job, he suffered a debilitating illness and became his first client as he healed himself through diet and lifestyle changes and energetic clearing.

“I had so much unreleased stress and emotional trauma that my auto-immune system began to fail,” recalls Taub. “In 1992, I started to become arthritic, and by 1994, I could barely move. All of the healing I experienced then was actually helping to pave the way for assisting with this paradigm shift we’re undergoing right now.”

Taub has dedicated the past decade of his life to pioneering his powerful transformational healing work, beginning with the study of ancient and modern wisdom and meditation in 1987, which he later learned was the year of a significant Harmonic Convergence.

His transformational healing method combines techniques he has developed and lifestyle recommendations with unique Source-given intuitive abilities that awakened in him after a major consciousness shift. This combination makes Taub unique in the realm of holistic practitioners. He can intuitively see the roots of issues and dis-ease in a client’s energy body, and he then directs Source energy to those areas to facilitate healing.

Taub regained his own health, and brings the experience of his own healing and spiritual awakening to his writing and to his clients. He says he has had great success in helping clients with depression, lack of life purpose, chronic illnesses and dis-eases that are hard to treat through typical Western methods.

“Those of us who are awakening spiritually in America face many challenges, and it’s easy to overly immerse ourselves in material diversions as a way of coping but also avoiding our spiritual needs,” he says. “Mastering the challenges on our own paths is the only way I have found to experience the ultimate joy of expanded awareness. Sharing what I have discovered while awakening is why I was drawn to become a healer and to write Awakening in America®.”

If you miss Robert in New Jersey, you can meet him at the Kryon Summer Light Conference in Sedona, Arizona, June 18 through 20. You can learn more about his work and order his book at www.awakeninginamerica.com.

"They’re Not Gone" Exciting New Book on the Afterlife.

“It’s like I’m sailing on the ocean
Every time I see your eyes
You could be the wind that keeps me floating
I could be in heaven for all I know
Heaven’s a place for me to go
No one ever could have told me how
No one ever could have told me how
Heaven could be here on earth”

“Heaven” -Carl Wilson

Praise is something we all want and at the same time feel uncomfortable receiving. I recently was given praise in its highest form.

A book.

Author Sharing Hope for the Holidays with New Book titled They’re Not Gone.

 

Phoenixville, PA – November 10, 2009 – Author,  A.P. Morris, is releasing a non-fiction book, They’re Not Gone, to coincide with the holiday season.

 

They’re Not Gone shares stories of 13 people whose loved ones passed away and their eventual ‘reconnection’ through the assistance of local Psychic Medium, Ricky Wood. Each story contains ‘evidence’ that their spirits are still very much alive.  Wood delivers specifics from names and dates to mannerisms and jokes to verify the spirit who is communicating.

“I wanted to share my story to give others hope, especially during the holiday season when missing them can be even more difficult.  I am now 100% positive that our loved ones don’t vanish with death, they are still very much alive,” Morris said.

A.P. Morris’s story in the book tells of the loss of her brother to suicide when she was just 16 years old.  After hearing from him through Psychic medium Ricky Wood, her life was transformed. Ricky Wood referred to a nickname of her brother’s that she had never told a soul about, allowing her to know definitively that he was still ‘alive.’

“I spent so many holiday seasons sad and depressed because I missed my brother so desperately.  If I’d only known that he wasn’t just gone, I think it may have been a whole lot easier for me,” A.P. Morris, author, said.

Each story offers a different type of love, loss, and lesson. Whether you’ve lost a child, spouse, parent, or great friend, there is a relationship that everyone can relate with.  Following each story, there is a question and answer section where the reader gets to learn more about Ricky’s beliefs based on his years of experience working as a Psychic Medium.

“I’m very excited to have the opportunity to share some amazing true life stories.  The information contained in this book could change so many people’s lives.  I know – it changed mine,” Morris said.

A.P. Morris feels that it was easier for her to believe in the continued existence of our spirits after she received ‘proof.’  Her hope is that by sharing these stories it will bring peace to many people’s lives, especially during this holiday season.

On December 2, 2009 you can purchase a copy of the book “They’re Not Gone,” for just $16.95 by visiting www.Amazon.com or www.theyrenotgone.com .

Meet the Author – at the Holiday Bazaar at Phoenixville Middle School (hosted by the National Junior Honor Society) on Saturday December 12, 2009 from 10am – 3pm.

*A portion of the proceeds will be donated to a non-profit organization Urban Compass located in Southern California.  Urban Compass was formed in partnership with local schools to combat poverty and violence and make a difference in children’s lives by providing tutoring support, enrichment activities, and field trips to keep the children engaged in a positive learning experience and off the streets.

Can an Angel Commit Suicide? Candace Downing…

When my angel comes home
It’s been hell bein’ here alone
God tell me, why has she flown
So far away
I pray she won’t stay another day
I’ll be in heaven when my angel comes home
Please come home

“Angel Come Home”-The Beach Boys

I watched this and I stopped. There comes a time when all of us are changed by an event. Forever. Death creates situations that either turns families bitter or turns them into heroes. The Downings lost their twelve year old daughter to suicide and not in the ways that you may think…

The Downings are Heroes and I hope all of you who watch this clip spread the word in any way you can.

I want them to know that they’re not alone. That their angel is “home”.
