Yeah, Maybe?

As a clinical hypnotherapist, I work with people’s belief sets, it often determines what they’re currently experiencing and what they will let themselves experience. The thing is~ thoughts create your reality.

So I don’t focus on whether or not something is true, I focus on whether or not it’s useful. 

Whether or not you can believe it.

As a maturing woman who has raised a family, I sit in an advantageous position that’s giving me the perspective to see how limiting beliefs keep people stuck in suffering and misery, AND from expanding into more. 


More joy, more possibilities of what one can do, experience, accomplish, and become. 


The reality is, we tell ourselves something is true~ because it agrees with our programming and it brings comfort and helps us fit in and feel grounded to reality. I also get that cognitive dissonance is real, the idea of sitting between two ideas that feel opposed to each other, if one is truth the other can’t possibly be.

Sometimes you have to decide between beliefs, one or the other, because they are in direct opposition to each other. 

Keeping the golden rule in mind, do unto others and all that, I say go with the belief that frees you from limitation, that helps unstick you from limiting unhealthy patterns, the one that helps you experience more joy, more expansion.

For example:

I have read enough about other people‘s experiences to be able to hold myself open to the belief of past lives, but more accurately simultaneous lives. 

Consciousness is a huge concept to understand and the thing is, inside this 3-D experience, we can’t get a big picture view. It’s like being a “part” of the elephant. You can only know what the whole elephant looks like if you’re not the elephant and preferably have the advantage of an aerial view. If you’re the leg- you can only experience what you look like from the position of the leg, the trunk position- you only see things in relation to your view as the trunk, and so on.


For me, there’s enough information out there including scientific exploration and data, that keeps me open to the validity of an individual’s experience of past life memory. A valuable purpose of reviewing a past life with a hypnotic regression, would be to gain understanding about the source of an unhealthy pattern you’re experiencing right now and to help resolve it. The therapeutic benefit involves witnessing the experience and what you decided it meant about you, then rescripting it. We then use that wisdom to resolve a current life issue that is making a mess of your life now. 

Again and again we come up against the issue, “Did my mind just make that up to help me feel better so I would think I resolved it or did it really happen?” Considering all the books I’ve read on the subject it’s not that easy to explain away, there seems to be something to it. I don’t have an expectation that all will share my perspective. I don’t need people to agree with me, although let’s be honest, I really like it when they do. In the end it boils down to a version of the saying live and let live.

I am also a big fan of following whatever ideas and information spark sincere wonder and excitement in you.  I am finding that is the mark that you are in alignment with your soul’s plan.  And if you don’t believe in a soul plan, trust what is feeling right in the moment and be extra thoughtful before devoting your allegiance to the ideas of an authority figure outside of you.  Some might call that prideful, I call it wise to trust your body and its signals. The worst kind of betrayal is self betrayal. You really do have everything you need- inside of you.

My highest excitement seems constantly tuned to the subject of the eternally evolving consciousness by acquisition of experiential knowledge. Or simply put, “learning by doing.”  Experiencing more than one life would provide a pluthera of opportunities to “do”.

“But what about science,” you say? “Science can’t prove we have had multiple past lives.” Science also has not been able to prove we don’t. Emerging quantum science actually explores ideas that make it possible, and point us towards VERY LIKELY, but that is a topic for another post.

Here’s the limitation with evidence based science, it’s evidence based on our five sensory perception and a bunch of assumptions that operate within what we think is possible according to our five sensory observation. We already know dogs can hear a wider rain than humans. Butterflies and bees see a larger spectrum of light than we do. How many times have we heard that we are only using 10% or less of our brain, and that we have junk DNA. Really? Junk DNA? Just because we can’t make sense of what it’s for? And then we make fun of anyone else who has experiences we don’t have and can’t duplicate with scientific methods.

Even in the science world there’s a lot of guessing. When scientists attach to their ideas as “true” then there’s a lot of dismissing, and making somebody wrong or right. History is replete with one group saying “no that’s not possible” just for another group of people to go and show them it is.

I wonder how things would change in the world if we took a deep breath in when we heard something we don’t believe is true and said, “Yeah, maybe?”


And meant it.
