Clearing Beliefs from
the Collective Unconscious

CHECK IN

What has happened in the past 2 weeks since we last met?

What are you now aware of?

If you did the Completing Contracts Homework, what has occurred for you?

THIS WEEK – Clearing Beliefs from the Collective Unconscious (or Your Past Lives)

It is possible that information about every experience that human beings have had through the millennia is available to you intuitively. Carl Jung called this collective memory the Collective Unconscious. Here is the definition of the term from Wikipedia:

“Collective unconscious is a term of analytical psychology, coined by Carl Jung. It is a part of the unconscious mind, expressed in humanity and all life forms with nervous systems, and describes how the structure of the psyche autonomously organizes experience. Jung distinguished the collective unconscious from the personal unconscious, in that the personal unconscious is a personal reservoir of experience unique to each individual, while the Collective Unconscious collects and organizes those personal experiences in a similar way with each member of a particular species.”

It is also possible that you have lived before in other lifetimes and can remember your past (and future!) experiences. This is known as “Past Lives”.

No one has proven conclusively whether Past Lives exist or not. Debating that subject is not our purpose here. Whether you were Cleopatra or can tap into a memory of her experience doesn’t matter to our session today.

What does matter is finding the “charge” on a memory that you carry subconsciously and clearing it so that your beliefs and behaviors are no longer driven by traumatic memory.

Let me tell you a story from my days of facilitating Past Life Regressions. (Even then I wasn’t sure if Past Lives really exist, but I did know that clearing the “charge” they carried was the key to healing.) I had a lovely client whom I’ll call Carly. She was a very creative artist and painfully shy. It took her a great deal of effort to relate to others, and she wanted to get over her fear of people.

During one regression session, Carly discovered that she had been Anne Boleyn, the 2^nd wife of King Henry VIII of England and mother of Queen Elizabeth the 1^st. She was beheaded on orders of her husband, King Henry, and realized that her executioner was the man who is her father in this lifetime. We worked to heal the memory and discharged the trauma. Carly ended the session visibly more relaxed and reported feeling calmer and more peaceful.

She later told me that she went to see her father the weekend after this session. As she visited with him in his workshop, he began sharpening a small ax, which he intended to give to her as a birthday gift for her sculptural artwork. She reported getting anxious at the sight of the ax. She was able to talk to him about her fear and to see that her father intended her no harm. She said that they had the best visit she could remember that weekend. She was very pleased that they were able to express mutual affection, a first for them.

Did Carly actually live as Anne Boleyn or did she intuitively tap into Anne Bolyen’s experience through the Collective Unconscious to explain her fear of her father? I don’t know. Bringing that story to conscious awareness and then using healing techniques (one of which I’ll teach you today) to discharge the trauma from the memory she had uncovered helped Carly re-establish a relationship with her father and become more comfortable with other people.

Carly’s experience demonstrates the promise of healing the “charges” on memories in the Subconscious Mind – whether they are from the Collective Unconscious or from a Past Life. For the purpose of our session, let’s call them “a Movie with a Charge”. Let’s assume that these Movies with a Charge play in your Subconscious Mind whenever the “charge” is activated just as when Carly’s fear of her father came up when she saw him sharpening the ax. Because we had discharged the trauma before her visit, she was able to talk to him and get past her fear of him to expression of mutual affection.

GUIDED IMAGERY TO DISCOVER “YOUR MOVIE WITH A CHARGE”

To go deeper to discover a movie that you are playing in your Subconscious Mind, let’s do some guided imagery then I’ll teach you how to deactivate the charge on that movie (memory).

EASY COUNTDOWN METHOD TO GO “INSIDE”

So that you can enter a more relaxed state on your own, I’d like to teach you a very easy way to slow down and go into a deeper state of mind. You can use this any time when you can safely close your eyes and go “inside”.

Phase 1 – The Count Down

1. Sit comfortably with your eyes open and chin parallel with the floor.
2. Move your eyes upwards to look up toward the ceiling while keeping your chin parallel to the floor.
3. Count out loud backwards from 10 to 1 slowly.
4. Between every number close your eyes. Reopen your eyes to say each number out loud.
5. If, after a few numbers, you want to stop opening your eyes, continue counting out loud until you reach the number 1. 
6. After you reach the number 1, keep your eyes closed and take a deep breath.

Phase 2 – Going to Your Place of Relaxation

1. Keeping your eyes closed, count to yourself from 10 to 1 again and imagine you are going down a path or stairway to your ideal place of relaxation. This can be a place you know well or have in your imagination. It can be a combination of your favorite places like the ocean and mountains.
2. After you reach the number 1, imagine stepping over the threshold into your ideal place of relaxation.
3. Notice the colors and shapes of the objects.
4. Imagine reaching out and touching an object to feel its texture and temperature.
5. Notice the sounds in your place.
6. If there are any fragrances, enjoy them now.
7. This is your ideal place of relaxation. Take a few moments to breathe in the peace, calm, and safety here.
8. You can hang out here as long as you like or use this method to go into a relaxed state of sleep.

“DEACTIVATE THE CHARGE” TECHNIQUE

From the Guided Imagery session, what “movie with a charge” did you discover?

Step 1 – Go to the Theater of Your Mind

1. Imagine that you are sitting in a movie theater on the 3^rd row in the center.
2. Imagine a color photograph of yourself, smiling, at your current age on the screen before you. Notice how you look.
3. While remaining seated on the 3^rd row, imagine letting your consciousness float up into the Projection Booth to observe from there.
4. Stand next to the projector and look through the glass window of the Projection Booth to see yourself sitting on the 3^rd row. You may notice smudges on the glass window.
5. Notice how your hair of the Seated You looks from this vantage point.
6. Notice how the photograph of You on the screen looks.
7. Stay in the Projection Booth for this exercise. If you notice yourself jumping into the movie coming up, bring your consciousness back to the Projection Booth.

Step 2 – Play the Movie with a Charge and Deactivate It

1. Rate the Charge of your Movie from 1 to 10 with 1 being no charge and 10 being the highest upset possible.
2. Imagine that the projectionist places the film of your “Movie with a Charge” on the projector.
3. Watch the movie from the Projection Booth as it plays through to the end. Let the end be neutral or positive (let the movie play past the “charge” or trauma).
4. Watch the movie again from the Projection Booth as it plays from beginning to end very quickly (about 5 seconds). Let it whiz by.
5. Watch the movie play backwards from end to beginning very quickly (about 5 seconds). Remember to stay in the Projection Booth.
6. Now ALL THE COLOR drains out of the movie and it is black and white only.
7. Play the movie again forwards in black and white from beginning to the end very quickly.
8. Reverse it and play it in black and white from the end to the beginning in black and white very quickly.
9. The movie now turns upside down and everyone and everything in it is moving upside down.
10. Watch the movie in black and white, upside down, from beginning to end very quickly.
11. Watch the movie backwards in black and white, upside down, from the end back to the beginning very quickly.
12. Watch as the movie screen goes dark.
13. Open your eyes and take a breath.
14. Rate the Charge of your Movie from 1 to 10 with 1 being no charge and 10 being the highest upset possible.

How are you feeling? Did the Charge on your Movie go down? If not, did you remember to stay in the Projection Booth the entire time?

This technique, also known as the Trauma Eraser in Neurolinguistic Programming, is a very effective way to discharge the upset from a memory whether from this life, past lives, or the Collective Unconscious. It is also a way to deactivate attraction to a substance or person that is not good for you (like that second piece of chocolate cake or bad boys). Do not do it on something or someone you like and want to stay in relationship with (like exercise or your husband)!

Completing Contracts with Our Ancestors

CHECK IN

What has happened in the past week?

What are you now aware of?

If you did the Forgiveness Homework, what has occurred for you?

THIS WEEK – Completing Contracts with Our Ancestors

Let’s approach this subject assuming that whatever your family has experienced in the past is imprinted into your Subconscious Mind. The rules of survival are passed down the generations through custom, stories, cellular memories, and perhaps even DNA. For the most part, these ancestral rules are positive shapers of who you are, but sometimes they get in the way of your blossoming in your business. They may even show up as fear of an unnamed disaster looming, waiting to strike if you get out of your family’s prescribed comfort zone.

To get very clear on the experiences, rules, and resulting contracts you may be holding from your family, we’ll do some Guided Imagery work. First, I’d like to share with you a revelation I’ve had this week about a Family Contract I’m carrying and which informs my life in a profound way. I hope that by sharing it, you will begin to see some of the Ancestral Contracts you are carrying.

I call this contract “Fixin’ To” as in “I’m fixin’ to do something about this.” I noticed it in my mother’s conversation about diet and food this past weekend. Since I’ve known her, my mother has been consistently learning about the latest diet, and she’s tried many of them. In her early 80s, she still reads about and goes to hear presentations about the latest research about maintaining a healthy weight. She is a font of knowledge.

But the problem is that she is rarely able to apply her knowledge in a consistent manner. She has lost many pounds and gained them back. I see this in myself with weight and work. I’m always gathering new information and “fixin’ to” put it to use. So I began to wonder whether this is a Family Contract that is keeping me in place, perhaps protecting me from some unknown danger if I actually lost some weight, kept it off, and took my business where I want it to go.

That’s what a Family or Ancestral Contract looks like – an invisible (until you look for it) agreement to be or stay a certain way. It is part of the unique rules of survival passed down through your lineage. If you look, you can begin to understand the reasons for these rules and the contracts that you have taken on.

Natural disasters, violence, famine, loss of parents and partners, war, disease, discrimination, ritual death, witch hunts, and/or persecution create the memories passed down through family. I’ve worked with clients whose issues began with “First Woman” and “First Man” (known biblically as Eve and Adam). So we’re dealing with some interesting subject matter this week.

Do you notice anything about your life and business that might indicate a Family or Ancestral Contract? It most likely will be something that is designed to keep you safe and ensure your survival.

GUIDED IMAGERY TO DISCOVER FAMILY CONTRACTS

To go deeper to discover your Family Contracts, let’s do some guided imagery to get you more in tune with the information about contracts in your Subconscious Mind.

EASY COUNTDOWN METHOD TO GO “INSIDE”

So that you can enter a more relaxed state on your own, I’d like to teach you a very easy way to slow down and go into a deeper state of mind. You can use this any time when you can safely close your eyes and go “inside”.

5. If, after a few numbers, you want to stop opening your eyes, continue counting out loud until you reach the number 1. 
6. After you reach the number 1, keep your eyes close and take a deep breath.

Phase 2 – Going to Your Place of Relaxation

1. Keeping your eyes closed, count to yourself from 10 to 1 again and imagine you are going down a path or stairway to your ideal place of relaxation. This can be a place you know well or have in your imagination. It can be a combination of your favorite places like the ocean and mountains.

8. You can hang out here as long as you like or use this method to go into a relaxed state of sleep.

COMPLETING FAMILY CONTRACTS TECHNIQUE

From what you discovered in the Guided Imagery session, what contract from your family would you like to complete? (In addition to a contract, you may have inherited a vow, an oath, an obligation, or a curse. If you discover one of these, you can work on it with this technique as well.)

What benefit did your family gain from having or keeping this contract?

If you were to complete this contract, what would you be giving up or what would be the cost to you? To your business?

If you DO NOT complete this contract, what would be the cost to you? To your business?

Under what conditions can you complete this contract? In other words, what does your family want for and from you in regards to this contract? It could be safety, security, taking care of yourself, honoring the family, being loyal to the family, etc.

Completing the Family Contract

Are you willing to complete this contract? If so,

1. close your eyes,
2. take a deep breath,
3. tell your Source you are ready to complete this contract,
4. ask that it be done now in the highest and best interest of all concerned,
5. wait for a shift which may be subtle and come in the form of a yawn or a sigh,
6. thank your Source and your family, and
7. notice what shifts in your thinking, emotions, and experience.

You can repeat this process on any contract, vow, obligation, oath, or curse that you discover. Note any others that occur to you here:
