Past Life Therapy Experiences – How it Changed My World

I have had many past life therapy experiences while I was in therapy  with Morris Netherton, Ph.D. In my memoir, Drawing From the Well,  I go into great depth about my personal past life therapy experiences and the profound impact past life therapy has had on my life.  To give you an idea of my personal past life therapy experiences, the following paragraphs share my  two significant past life therapy experiences.

In 1973, I heard a leading gynecologist tell us how he had given up his traditional practice to research holistic healing. He described studies he had conducted with young women who had cancer but nothing in their  current lives would explain the causes of the disease. The gynecologist  went on in a soft, unemotional manner about what his patients had experienced in the uterus. As I sat there, I felt I might explode into uncontrollable sobbing. I did all I could to control myself. When thedoctor finished talking, I rushed to the ladies room, where I sobbed and sobbed. I knew I had to find out what caused this deep, unprovoked emotion.

I was already aware of the work Dr Netherton was doing and felt the answer was somewhere in a past life therapy experience. Shortly into  our working on this issue, a clue came when I was sitting on the floor  in my closet sorting out some shoes. A thought came to me virtually out  of the blue: "Was I that boy?  (Uremic poising caused my mother to lose a baby boy during her first pregnancy). I rushed to share my revelation with Dr. Netherton. He began working with me as the fetus, and I experienced again the fears my mother had in her first and second  pregnancies. 

When I was nine years old, I said over and over to my mother "I wish I  had an older bother." Because of my persistence, she finally relented and told me that during her first pregnancy a baby boy was stillborn and she almost died herself. 

I sobbed when I heard of the loss. She was shocked at my response. Regardless of what she said, I could not be consoled. Mother was sorry she told me, but even with the initial sadness I was glad she had. It wasn't until I reached 70, and with my bout with cancer (power of prayer) that I learned the full story of mother's two pregnancies.

 

The intervention that had the greatest psychological impact, however, was the work I did with Dr. Morris Netherton, in 2001, on past lives and pre-natal experience. Joshua told me in a reading in late July of 2001 that Dr.Netherton would help me find the key to my cancer. The work was essential to determine the root cause of the anger that developed into cancer in my uterus. Dr. Netherton related the size of my tumor -- that of a fetus in its fourth month -- to my mother's pregnancy with me. By altering my state of consciousness, I went to a time during the fourth month of my mother's pregnancy to see and feel what was happening to her. She was very angry with my father for making her pregnant and in so doing, he put her life and the life of the baby in jeopardy. This was the underlying fear she had and the cause of the anger towards my father. I, as the fetus, not only registered the fear she had during her first pregnancy, but also the anger and fear during the second pregnancy. I also sensed her mistrust of men, which her doctor reinforced by expressing doubt about her account of the stillborn during her first pregnancy.
