“As I prepared for bed these thoughts continued to bounce around in my head.  Maybe this was just wishful thinking or perhaps I was afraid of the learning and action items that would knowingly put me out of step with my friends and co-workers.  Wow – I just want a better future.  And with that thought I headed off to bed.

And then the dream arrived.  It was as if I was back in the regression.  I saw again my people’s village as it had been in the regression when I had returned from finding the lush green valley. The poverty, the sickness, the despondency and general lack of energy and emotion of the faces of the people I called “my tribe”.  This was the opening scene in my dream.

The second scene – as if a quick little vignette – was of the possibility of the lush green valley and the final scene of my Past Life Regression where I had completed that life in health and peace, surrounded by beauty and love. 

What a remembering!  And who was to say that I did not, in that past life, have some moments of consternation – of fear – of indecision?  Who said it would be easy and effortless?

I awoke with a renewed sense of purpose and excitement.  I was going to take the next step in the plan and see where it would take me.  That was the least I could do for myself and my future.”

“Research, research, research….how was I to know that I knew so little?  This whole plan, of which I had not really taken a single step forward, was becoming totally overwhelming.  Should I just stay where I am – what if the Past Life Regression Information is really just my imagination?  Was I acting really crazy?  Or was I just scared of the unknown?

I finally closed down my computer for the night and headed off to bed – with all of these thoughts in my head.  Perhaps I was the crazy one – perhaps I needed to just “suck it up” and stay where I was – perhaps this dream was just a figment of my imagination.  I headed to bed with these thoughts and with the hope that perhaps some insights would come flowing in as to what steps to take next.”

“As I was pondering how many talismans to utilize to keep me on track with my plan, my Therapist/Coach emailed me to ask how the plan was progressing.  How did she know that I had spent more time thinking about my talisman than about the plan?

With that question in mind, I turned my attention to the overview plan we had developed when we met and I began to further enhance the plan with action items of a size and timing that made sense to me. 

As I reviewed the plan in general, I realized that my next major step was to complete research and determine where I was going to obtain the information I needed to truly move forward with the plan.  How interesting that it was easier to research a talisman than the plan overall.  Was this what kept many people from moving forward in their lives?”

“The next stone I researched was Amethyst.  Amethyst – the stone of clarity – with subtle energies for the facilitation of decision making, aligning decisions and insights.  Amethyst also enhances common sense and promotes emotional centering.

Given the clarity I knew I was going to need during this transition and the need to link my insights and decisions, Amethyst seemed like a very good stone energy to have in my presence, whether by wearing it or simply having a stone on my desk or writing table. 

And I wondered if it was appropriate to create a talisman with more than one stone – or if it would be better to have a different talisman for the different times depending upon how I was being challenged?”

“Over the next few weeks I continued to think about what I would like to have as a talisman for this great adventure I was about to embark upon.  I did some research and had not come up with anything that felt right as a talisman.

As I was wandering through a craft fair in town, I came upon a jewelry crafters booth.  This booth was different in that not only was there beautiful jewelry, each piece was made with a particular stone or group of stones.  The jewelry was grouped by stone, with a laminated card explaining the subtle energies of the stones.

Could this be my solution?  I spoke with the artist and she provided me with more information and names of books I could use to understand the subtle energies of the different stones.  She indicated she would be more than happy to assist me in crafting just the right piece of jewelry if I decided a piece of stone energy jewelry could operate as my talisman.

I left the craft show excited and ready to research the subtle energy of stones.”

“So I headed home with the draft of my plan in my possession and more than a few reservations.  Was I enough to accomplish this?  What type of Spiritual Guidance would I receive?  Was I really intended to be a change maker and leave the “village” and strike off on my own?  And what if I did not find that wonderful valley – what if, in real life, I was unsuccessful?

As all of these thoughts crossed my mind, I realized that I did, indeed, want to pursue this dream of mine.  That, given our plan as it was, I did not need to make any significant decisions for quite a few months as I became more educated and aware of what this new life might look like.  With these thoughts and a plan that was in excess of 18 months long, I realized it would benefit me to have a talisman as a continual reminder of where I was headed and for support along the way.

A talisman….what might I choose as this reminder?  It had to be inconspicuous (I was not ready to share my plan with more than a couple of my close friends); it had to be easy to have with me; and I had to like having it in my possession.”

“With these items of concern on sticky notes, we began to create what my Regression Therapist called a “mind map” of the areas that needed to be addressed in my plan.  This “mind map” was a way to visually see all of the elements and understand their interconnectedness.

Next, we determined what I needed to learn or obtain prior to launching this new career.  This included information on starting and running a business,  both legally and financially; classes and certifications I needed for this new endeavor; an appointment with my financial planner to determine where my resources were; a session with an individual to assist me in writing my business plan; a connection with a web designer and web marketer (and some adult education classes for me to ensure I knew at least the basics about small business technology; and finally an analysis of what I desired to complete in my current job to feel as good about leaving as possible.

Wow – I had a lot to do and a lot to learn.  And with each area we covered, the lsit grew.  Who knew this would be so expansive?”

“Formulating the plan was not as difficult as I expected.  My Regression Therapist had a background in “life change” and was a Certified Life Coach.  Those two elements of her background served me well as we began to build the plan.

As we started, she questioned me as to what my reservations and concerns might be on making the life changes the information from the past life regression indicated would be beneficial.  And, as I had been contemplating how life would be different I was more than happy to share my concerns and perceptions of challenge. 

I was so happy she had started by asking that question.  I had been envisioning what might happen if this change was not successful.  Having the opportunity to share those concerns and  make a place for them in my plan was most reassuring.”

“As we had established, I arrived to meet with my Past Life Regression Therapist.  As she is also a Life Coach, and merges the two modalities together, I felt very comfortable meeting with her to integrate the information provided me in my past life regression.

She began by asking me if I had listened to the recording of my regression and, if so, what my impressions were?  Her next question was to find out if any further insights or thoughts had “come in” in regards to the subject matter dealt with in the regression.

After we had discussed my answers to her two questions, we began to formulate a plan of action.”

“Three evenings later, I sat at home and listened to my own voice as it provided with me insights and understandings about my life.  I saw and felt again all that had not been spoken.  And I knew what I needed to do. 

My primary question was about how to live my life.  The answer was clear.  I could stay in the life I was currently living and witness the erosion of the “tribe” and the “herds” OR I could strike out on my own and find my wonderful green valley.  I decided to set a plan in place to make these changes in my life.

I also understood the challenges I was having in trying to hold on to a number of people in my life and saw the positive impact to both those individuals and myself if we would each go our separate way – with no hard feelings or scathing comments.  This was a bit harder for me to decide how to handle as these individuals had been a significant part of my life for quite some time – and I knew the information was correct.  So, wanting more guidance, called my Regression Therapist, who, as a Life Coach, might be able to assist me in developing my plan for the future.”
