Past Life Keys To Freeing The Healer

Past Life Keys To Freeing The Healer

By Helene Rothschild

(Excerpts from the tape, CD MP3 file, book and e-book: Past Lives—Present Decisions)

I stood by the window looking out at the stone houses, trying not to think about the lady who was hysterically thrashing around in her bed. A peddler was pushing his wooden cart down the cobblestone streets. It looked like a village in Ireland during the eighteenth century.

Suddenly I heard someone pounding on the wooden door. Two men pushed it open and walked in. The tall one was the woman’s husband and her son stood beside him. I had a queasy feeling in my stomach that told me I wasn’t supposed to do what I had just done.

The lady had summoned me because she was sick and I was a doctor. She had both psychological and physical problems, and I was trying to ease her physical pain. Some time before this I had discovered the healing power in my hands, and I had been treating her with an unorthodox technique of hands-on healing. All I actually did was listen to my inner voice, which guided me to put my hands on the appropriate pressure points of her body. That was the method I had been using to help her release blocked energy.

The men and I argued back and forth, and then they angrily ordered me to leave and never to come back. As I was walking down the dark wooden steps of a narrow hall it suddenly became very dark. It was becoming increasingly difficult for me to breathe or swallow. Then I realized that I was being hung by the neck, and that I had a black cloth over my head.

The next thing I heard was Helene’s voice (my therapist) asking me what decision I was making. I said, “It is not safe for me to do anything out of the ordinary.” I decided to become invisible, to take no risks, and to avoid drawing any attention to myself. Then Helene asked if I was ready to change that experience. I replied, “Definitely!” I visualized the sick woman in the bed smiling and thanking me for my ‘miracle cure’ Her husband and son were relieved that I was helping her get better. They didn’t understand what I had done, but they liked the results.

Then I saw myself talking to a large group of other doctors. I was telling them about the new way I was helping my patients heal. As they applauded, I found myself taking a deep sigh of relief. I decided from this new experience that maybe it was safe for me to use unorthodox methods, and to openly share them with others.

I felt better but not complete. Helene said, “George, imagine that there is a rope in front of you that is going to the left, back into your past. Allow yourself to see a knot on the rope to represent each lifetime that you reinforced the same decision. How may knots are there?” I saw five big knots. Then she suggested that if I was ready to let go of that issue, I could imagine that I was burning those knots away with a laser beam. I was more than ready, so I got busy with my laser beam. Afterwards, I felt much better.

When I opened my eyes I exclaimed, “That was amazing! Now I understand why I’ve been a ‘doctor in hiding’ during this lifetime.” I’ve been hiding by keeping myself out of risky situations where I might be vulnerable. I haven’t joined any organizations. When I was asked to give talks, I have always been ready with excuses, and avoided the public eye.

I’m a chiropractor, and my past-life regression helped me realize why I chose the profession. I’ve always been careful not to do anything untraditional. I have even been critical and very upset with my colleagues who experimented with new methods. I began to understand that hidden beneath my anger was the unconscious fear that they would get hurt, just like I did in my past lives. Also, a part of me didn’t want to acknowledge the benefits of alternative healing methods. Subconsciously I believed that it was necessary to block this kind of information in order to insure my own survival. If my colleagues didn’t use new methods, I wouldn’t have to acknowledge that they worked. It had become clear to me now that whenever I’m angry, I need to explore my fear. My fears are the underlying cause of my being upset.

A few months after I changed the scene of that past life, I found myself joining some organizations. Around the same time I became more willing to speak before different groups. But only after a few weeks of that incredible therapy session, I began to attend workshops, and to explore the healing power of my hands. I also became more open and accepting of my peers who were treating patients in untraditional ways. I even had lunch with a few of them and learned more about what they were doing.

As a result of working through my past lives as a doctor, which enabled me to make profound changes in my thinking and behavior, my practice has definitely become more successful. More importantly, I feel better about myself and my work. It’s been exciting to free the healer in me.
