There is a tremendous shift in our consciousness on this planet. We are a nation of seekers, yearning to understand more and more of who we are and what our purpose is. Many of us have undergone one or more forms of psychological therapy to solve life's problems and find answers to our probing and sometimes life-long questions. Yet most of us feel something is still missing, and there are many answers we are desperately seeking. Why do we seem to repeat patterns in relationships and other areas of our lives? Why do we have such unworthy feelings or suffer from chronic depression? Why did we need to endure the loss of a child or have to suffer from an abusive husband? It is my belief, shared by others, that we will choose a life script before we come into this life, in our spiritual body, void of emotions, that will create a journey sometimes filled with trauma or difficult obstacles to push us into changing or learning our lesson. We would never choose these traumas or scripts in our physical and emotional bodies that we inhabit in this life, but on the spirit side we know what we need to karmically go through due to our past lives, and the people we need to go through it with, to grow and evolve. There is no judgment around the script; it is only there for our lessons. It is not only traumas and negativity that helps us grow but the one core lesson of love and forgiveness for self and others. Footsteps Through the Sands of Time: Past-Life Dramas-Present-Life Lessons is the first book to offer answers to our deepest questions through a compelling compilation of stories based on individual and factually verified regressions. Unlike other past-life books, Footsteps Through the Sands of Time: Past-Life Dramas-Present-Life Lessons breaks through the veil of secrecy by sharing the clients' most personal histories and intentions and is formatted like a private session with the therapist. Each story is centered on one session, covering a theme common and relatable to anyone. While the names of the clients and certain data have been changed, readers will get to see a rare and intimate view of a therapist's outline and interaction with the clients' regression from beginning to end. Culled from a database of more than four thousand clients, each story offers truth, insight, and enlightenment. The puzzle pieces these clients have discovered answer burning questions about their present-life dramas, questions the readers will identify with, seeing themselves in these stories and benefiting from the awareness, understanding, and connection the core lessons reveal.
