THE PAST LIFE REGRESSION SESSION

• Krista Rauschenberg • Season 1 • Episode 10

Share episode

In this episode we explore a Past Life Regression Session.  There are several spiritual traditions that believe that a soul or an aspect of an individual is reborn or reincarnated throughout several lifetimes.  During a Regression Session, the participant accesses past lives in order to gain insight and information that may be useful to them in this lifetime.  Connecting to their past lives, clients can  work to release habits, fears, or other burdens they may be carrying from lifetime to lifetime.

Mark Mezadourian is an intuitive that specializes in connecting with angels and guides. His work encompasses the core of all spiritual traditions – peace and love – and helps people realize their dreams and live a fulfilling life. The goal of his work is to access spirituality from a heart-centered yet practical perspective, and put it into action. Sessions and workshops focus on allowing a connection with angels and guides to be fluid and familiar through technique so that we can create the conditions to live as our authentic and unique selves while we grow, excel and share our gifts with the world.

Our willing participant, Nels is in an architect focused on the intersection of regenerative design, food and hospitality. His interest in the spiritual comes from his religious upbringing and subsequent search to understand reality from a non-religious, agnostic and sometimes atheistic standpoint. 

Mark:

What past lives can help illuminate our themes and patterns, the themes and patterns that are perhaps present for us now, or things that keep reoccurring. But in those past lives, we will activate in your DNA now, all that's positive and powerful. And we will deactivate or turn off the light switch on anything that's not serving you.

Krista:

Welcome to the Beginner's Guide to the Third Eye, the podcast that delves into the profound realms of spiritual experiences, exploring the dedicated practitioners and various modalities that guide us on our transformative path. Together, we will explore the mystical, the magical, the enlightened, and the sacred. In each episode, we pair seasoned practitioners, spiritual experiences, or healing modalities, and a willing participant to share their experience in working together. We will explore the unique insights, stories, and wisdom gained from their own profound journeys, unveiling the extraordinary narratives that shape spiritual seekers and practitioners alike. My name is Krista Rauschenberg and my work as a healer has emerged from hundreds of hours of certified training, spiritual initiations, direct experience, and deep personal work. I have been employed in the healing arts as a postpartum doula, an advanced Akashic reader, an Akashic breathwork practitioner, and a writer. Facilitating and educating people through their personal, spiritual, and healing journeys is my greatest source of happiness.

El:

And I'm Elle Larson. I use sound and space to help balance internal and external environments. I've practiced holistic healing modalities for over 20 years, and my work includes Tibetan bull sound healing, feng shui, reiki, and shamanism.

Krista:

Welcome once again to The Beginner's Guide to the Third Eye where we demystify the mystical.

El:

hi everyone. Thanks for joining us I'm excited to introduce today's show where we'll share the process of a past life regression. If you're not familiar with past lives, there are several spiritual traditions around the world that believe that a soul or an aspect of an individual is reborn throughout several lifetimes. This process is called reincarnation or rebirth after death, and the term past lives refers to incarnations prior to the current one. During a regression, the participant accesses past lives, frequently their own, in order to gain insight and information that may be useful to them in this lifetime. While connecting to a past life, they can also work to release habits, fears, or other burdens they may be carrying from lifetime to lifetime. Past life regressions can be an effective way to look into patterns and relationships, life challenges, blocks, and other aspects of our lives that may feel deeply ingrained, but we have trouble explaining how or why. let's meet our guest for today's regression session. Our practitioner is Mark Mazadorian, an intuitive who specializes in connecting with angels and guides. And our willing participant is Nels Long, who is an architect in Northern California. Welcome gentlemen. Krista and I are so happy to have you. So Mark, we'd like to set up the conversation by knowing a little bit more about you, your work and your process. Can you tell us a little bit about your practice?

Mark:

Sure. I come from a family that's naturally intuitive, especially on my mother's side. And my grandmother's, my mother's side, grandmother's side, my grandmother went through the Armenian genocide. And she was six when her three brothers were killed. And when we have childhood trauma, the commonality is that we have more resources, and our resources are vast, and our capacity becomes enormous, which can usually venture into some hyper vigilance, but it also creates a space of having a lot of resources, and seeking things out. And knowing what's true and what's not. So being raised in a family that had that hypervigilance, and having, stuff happen when I was a kid, I was a sensitive kid and it led to a space where I knew there was something greater in the world and it was always random. And when I was 30, I had an anxiety attack. in 1997, my grandmother died, that happened in February that year, and I started working also in February at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and worked six days a week for 12 hours a day, and didn't process anything. So I got on this trip to Europe, and I started to have all these spiritual experiences. That were quite profound. And I come back from that trip and I left my apartment in the care of a couple who I knew. And I didn't know this until I came back. They broke up the day after I left and the woman went on a heroin binge in my apartment. And essentially destroyed it. So I kicked her out. And a couple of days later had an anxiety attack it was bad. So I did some things, and some spiritual things, and I didn't know what to do, but there was a dark energy in my apartment, and I didn't know what to do with it. So I was doing things like playing a Gregorian chant CD on repeat, I was staying at my girlfriend's place, I would just go there to shower and change, but it felt awful. And a friend of a friend, a guy named Randall Stewart, who I still know, he told me what to do, none of which I would do now. He had me play Citrus. in the middle of each room and sea salt in each corner. And he said, you need to reclaim your home. And in that my mother suggested, why don't you call an Archangel Michael? So I did. I ended up with fury, yelling get the bleep out of my apartment, and I was screaming that my apartment had a long hallway. I was in the bedroom at the corner of my eye and saw like this big black bear thing. In the living room and I was holding a glass of citrus and I threw the glass bowl down the long hallway. It landed perfectly in the center of the living room. The toilet flushed and it was gone.

Krista:

Wow.

Mark:

So that worked. And my question was what worked what worked? And I went to work and I came home and the electronics were back on. So this got my attention. And What that prompted was getting in touch with the angels. And I started this pattern of, you know, in angel numerology, four, four, four is kind of like a wave. And I would wake up at four 44 every morning on the digital clock and just started getting to emcee that on license plates. So I recognized with the anxiety attack that what I was doing wasn't working, and that the world had to get bigger. And working at a Shakespeare festival, I was gratefully surrounded by really wise people, and much older people, and they helped me out. In rebooting my life, it was like, okay, what do they have to say to me? What do they say? Not, what do I think? What is written about them? What do they say? And just kept getting synchronicities, acts of grace, and making my world bigger. And that just continued. That's the basic origin story. I started working with an EMDR therapist who was quite brilliant and very spiritual. And doing EMDR let me see what was in my psyche,

Krista:

what

Mark:

was actually there, which was horrifying. And so learning where we hold on to things, how we hold on to things, and also what actually works to help heal. All those things happened in a short period of time. In that time also, I started to learn, technique wise, how to, do readings, how to clear energy, and all these different techniques. And I started to assimilate them, and I discovered that it was easy for me to read for other people, that it was easy to tune in, what do they say, thank you angels for the perfect guidance for Krista. And what do they say? And also this language from experience, but also being able to report what they say that had a lot of flow to it.

Krista:

How long ago was that

Mark:

98, 1998. So that's 25 years.

Krista:

And then you said you learned how to read for people and clear energy where you taught that from another human or are you self taught

Mark:

Both i learned the technique from different people and it was actually quite simple of what is actually here for people like what is here and also this is where theater work came in terms of in theater, especially directing or acting is rather than what's being said, what is actually happening? What is it? What is the action? What is the intention? What is the objective? And in encountering people in a reading, it's this, I'm not sure I'm in the process of. I'm not sure I'm in the process of. Seeing using that muscle, like what, what was actually here for this human being? And also from my own experience is recognizing what doesn't work. Like Don't tell people what to do. Or, you know, could, would, should. None of that taking that off the table.

Krista:

Going back to what you said about growing up with intuitive family members, how that communicated. How is that utilized was being an intuitive something that they proudly spoke about? Because a lot of our messaging comes from family of origin and from our youth. So was it advocated? Was it acceptable? Even utilized in your childhood?

Mark:

It was a given. It was an accepted and integrated part. It just wasn't made a big deal of my grandmother, Sarah she would read coffee grinds, and stuff like that. But it was always there when the phone would ring, I would know who it was, that kind of stuff, if, I went to the store and someone forgot to tell me get butter, I would get butter, that kind of stuff, so it was just naturally there. It wasn't talked about was it a big deal, but it was just there.

Krista:

Did that then enable you to make your arc easier, would you say?

Mark:

So randomness seems to have perhaps a big role in a lot of people's spiritual experience. Like, Whoa, that was random. That happened. And if it's not random, if it's the opposite of that, if there's no coincidence. And we see the myriad of ways that the universe is reaching out to us and the elegance of that communication and to the elegance and the intelligence of it of there's a, we're constantly being communicated with, we can't constantly tune into that because that drives us nuts. But if we just noticed Hey, thanks. I see that. Thank you. Thank you for playing that song again on the radio. Thank you. I heard it this time.

Krista:

I'm really interested in the process for you in terms of how the information comes through and how you're able to differentiate. Who's saying what? Is it a feeling in your body? Are you able to see it, audibly hear it? How does it work? Technically speaking,

Mark:

The practice that I have, which is for me to get out of the way as much as possible and to report what is happening. And also to work with a variety of guides, not just one, but angels, goddesses, guides. So it's like seeing everyone is available. My grandmother, when she died, would come forward. And just being open to receive messages. And that's my goal in facilitating a session with people or with group work, is to have the intimacy of this connection be highly accessible. We're all hardwired for intuition. And it's those four main ways and kind of two subsets, which is seeing, hearing, knowing, and feeling, and also smell and taste. Knowing is overwhelmingly easy. The main way I receive.

El:

These are essentially the Claires, right? Yeah. The Claires, their sentience Clair audience clairvoyance. Would you mind just explaining that a Sure.

Mark:

I'm speaking of Clear Cognizance, which is clear knowing, and it is like a complete download. into the heart to the degree where I will see things and know things. So we also have clairvoyance, which is clear seeing, which is mainly in your mind's eye, as opposed to your physical eyes. Clear audience, which is hearing, which could be songs or sounds. Or words and also clear clairsentience which is feeling. So we all have all those. Most people mainly have the feeling. You walk into a room, you feel good or bad. You shake someone's hand, you feel good or bad. All this is driven with technique ultimately. So you'll hear in. The recording I did with Nels of thank you, Mother, Father, God, thank you, Archangels and Ascended Masters for the perfect guidance, perfect clarity, perfect healing that is here for Nels right now. We're stuck in the deck there. That's very specific. So we're not talking to the dead guy who died in 1973 at the bar down the street. That's off the table. So it's not random, it's very specific. I think the best analogy is before we had smartphones and cordless phones and phones with caller ID, where the phone would ring and you knew who it was. It's that. Like I knew my grandmother was calling. There was a certain ring to it. It's the dexterity of what is Archangel Michael what does he feel like? And very simply, how Unique and distinct, Krista, Elle, and Nels, and Mark are. It's, the guides are that distinct.

Krista:

So what does Archangel Michael feel like?

Mark:

He comes forward often with a lot of height and presence.

Krista:

Like

Mark:

a very reassuring friend. He is like Superman. So there's a sense of this titanic presence. in the room and friendliness. I think it's worth really landing the point here that everyone can do this. And this is the whole point. Everyone can do this. And it does coming back to affinity, like what, who resonates with you. And if we're opening the door to working with the best possible guides, let's say for Nells, and it's just having that dexterity like, oh there's Archangel Gabriel, there's Archangel Uriel, and understanding them. And that just comes from experience, but anyone can say, Archangel Michael for being with me. And to just very simply notice what happens rather than project, oh he's going to be blue, or he's going to be 10 feet tall.

Krista:

You also mentioned during your session with Nels that one of our core wounds is irrelevance, which would lend itself to it's out there. Guidance is out there. You may not be good enough or you may not matter enough, which I think speaks to what you're saying about it not being available to us. Correct?

Mark:

Yeah. We're repeatedly told that we suck and we don't suck. This gets into worthiness of who could talk to an angel. There's all these rules, we could all talk to angels. But this idea that we are not worthy, that other people know more than we do all these add up to an absence of empowerment or agency.

El:

So Nels. so much. You're an architect, based in Northern California and as an architect, would you agree that you're analytical, you're perceptive, maybe you're somewhat type A personality wise?

Nels:

Yeah, probably to a fault.

El:

Could you tell us a little bit about yourself? Describe yourself?

Nels:

Um, I'm a person that thinks of myself as incredibly detail oriented and loves organizing things. Okay. Very much of a control freak, I don't really like anybody else, getting to tell me how things get done or how things should be done or like, you know, like I cook dinner because like you cut an onion a certain way, like those kinds of things. And that translates into my work to a certain extent um, Mark mentioned that the intent of our session was communication. And the reason for that is I've been. I'm struggling with some personalities at work where, type a means type a, and we're both control freaks and we both think that things should be done very specific way. And sometimes it differs that specific way. You're right. Yeah, that's, it's something that I'm definitely aware of something I'm working on. It's hard to take a step back and understand. I don't want to use the word character flaws, but character traits that, are not necessarily harmonious with others all of the time,

El:

and as far as like your spiritual practices, how would you describe that? Have you ever done anything like this before?

Nels:

Like this, no getting into meditation and getting into kind of more of a spiritual ness but ultimately just leaving that and just saying, it's what I believe in is what is physical, what I can pick up, what I can build with. I'm an architect. I draw things that get built out of stone and steel and wood. And that's my language that I speak really clearly. And it's just been. recent, maybe the last five years or so that I started to understand that there's more to reality than the physical materials around us. And that doesn't necessarily have to be going to church. It doesn't have to be subscribing to a methodology or a philosophy and it can be personal and you don't have to talk about it with people. You can if you want to, obviously, but.

El:

And what expectations did you have of the session? Like the process, the outcome?

Nels:

I listened to it. well Known podcast on paranormal and supernatural stuff. And every time a regression comes up the person experiencing the regression was always an Egyptian temple whore. And so I'm just like I guess I'm going to find out if I was an Egyptian temple whore, so that was just a joke, but I live a vanilla lifestyle, and so just being offered. This opportunity was exciting. And then there was immediately the, a little bit of anxiety about, loss of control, giving in, giving up that kind of. Carefully crafted, image that I portrayed in the world was a, cause for a little bit of anxiety, kind of allowing that unconscious to be literally broadcast. But I suspended disbelief around the process itself and just allowed it to happen. I wouldn't say that I was, Trying to get anything in particular out of it. I was just letting it happen. Other than one spiritual encounter when I was a child that was a Very kind of physical spiritual encounter. I got in a pretty serious bicycle accident. And actually felt a hand on my face and then healed three days later The skin was gone on this side of my face like gone And then it was just back in a week so I mean that was weird, that was an anomaly that's not like a Is that something that happened every couple months, you know throughout? But other than that, like I wouldn't say I had any like strong spiritual encounters and so just allowing this experience to unfold

El:

So Mark do you work with somebody who is from a very specific religious tradition who doesn't identify at all with angels, Mary, Jesus, when that's what you work with for your practice.

Mark:

I implicitly trust who comes forward and that it's with purpose. And this comes back to the prayer. So if I'm working with someone one on one, let that guide be a guide. Let's not associate him with any faith. And the same would be true of Mother Mary or Lakshmi, but just recognizing these are free agents. that they are powerful and palpable guides. Let's let the guides be current with us. A question is what does Jesus want us to know now? Now, what did he say in the past? What does Mother Mary want us to know now? What does Ganesh want us to know now? And that leads us to the, this immediate moment. So if I'm doing a session with someone, usually they'll tell me pretty rapidly or ascertain really rapidly, like where they are faith wise. And I often ask in a one on one session do you have guides that you work with? Do you have goddesses or guides or angels that you really have an affinity for? What actually works in healing is if I'm in judgment or if I'm saying, no, it's got to go this way. And this happened with this session with Nels. There's a technique of noticing the feet. That's not what worked, so it's just being open he accessed the different lives through environment. Thank you. It's just being open and receptive like what's actually happening right now in this exchange with this individual and to listen and to be curious.

El:

And that brings in being a channel. So when you're saying, get out of the way, and Krista I'm sure you notice this in your work and I certainly do in mine, you have to let your preconceived notions aside. so much. And let come through what's coming through and not try to color or taint that maybe you try to direct it so it's more receivable for the other person. Yeah.

Mark:

To get your thumb off the scale.

Nels:

Yeah. I just jump in there. I've been thinking a lot about the session since last week. One of the things that I keep coming back to L is a phrase that you used when we were talking after about where you allow consciousness to interrupt the unconscious process. And Mark your phrase of taking your thumb off the scales just brought me back to that. L knows me as Someone who's participated in storytelling in the past and there's maybe not so much in the moment, but in reflection, it's am I telling a story? Am I getting in the way, like looking forward to the next part in the narrative arc? Or am I like allowing that to naturally come through? And I found like that. Honestly is my biggest takeaway from the experience was how much am I allowing that process to just be a process and how much am I trying to control it to be something that I maybe wanted it to be in the moment.

Krista:

Are you essentially saying how much did you intellectualize it and how much did you actually have the experience of it?

Nels:

Yeah, like how much was it like an unconscious experience and how much of it was like my conscious kind of filling in gaps. Yeah.

Krista:

So how much of it can you relate to feeling the sensation of it, not the thinking, but the feeling. Did you have any takeaways that were truly feeling?

Nels:

There was definitely a lot of emotion.

El:

And that's what struck me. Nels, when we were interacting after your session, you were relaying these things and you're like, yeah, I don't know how much of it was my conscious mind, just making it up but what you were saying around it, I was like, that's very poignant. And that hit him on a core level, and this might be starting to go a little bit of a tangent, but I think it's also relevant is with all of life, there's a wrapper around things, right? So maybe there's this aesthetic layer that you wrapped around it, but this core experience, this emotion that's what's valuable. That's like the lesson. So I don't know, Mark.

Mark:

No. This is all incredibly relevant. I think I neglected to say this to you, Nelso, before we worked, which is you're gonna feel like you're making it up, and you're not. Let's say going into four different past lives like we did. There's a lot of symbology in those. And just seeing how we do work. In our psyche, in our emotions, in our consciousness, in our cells, in our soul with archetypes, with symbology, and that there is a story in these, and that story does have a beginning, a middle, and an end. And this is the way we process things, and we don't need to know every single detail that happens in that. But there is an elegance to how these things come forward. And the goal in the work as we did is to notice what's happening to perhaps get a sense of what happens and to activate the good and to release the negative. A poignant moment is in the first lifetime when, there was the boy who got a practice. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That they died. This kid died. I think a lot of spiritual dynamics would want to explore how did he die? What happened there? And that's irrelevant. Why get into a trauma? The information was there. You knew, and you said, I think your wording was, they didn't make it. That's all the information needed there. If we then extrapolate that, what I know to be true, so that, that's a trauma. This kid had dread. And then it didn't work out. He was right. So we're going to activate positively his intuition, which was accurate. And let's just notice. that you are safe right where you are physically. We're just going to go into a bit of a non physical space, but you are safe and well maintaining that space. So if we could just breathe in, and whether you see it, feel it, hear it, or know it, we'll notice you and Archangel Michael standing at the beginning of a long, ornate marble hallway. Perhaps a very beautiful and ancient space where everything is possible and into this space, so very simply, if you could just repeat after me, thank you, Archangel Michael, for being my guide.

Nels:

Thank you, Archangel Michael, for being my guide.

Mark:

Into four different past lives.

Nels:

Into four different past lives.

Mark:

Connected with communication.

Nels:

Connected with communication.

Mark:

Wonderful. So just breathe in. And if you could just notice you and Archangel Michael beginning to walk down that hallway together, holding hands. And here we'll do a countdown, and I'll just do the work here. If we could just breathe in. And five. If we could just let Archangel Michael do all the work. Your job is very simply to notice and just report. And another breath in. And four. And we'll let Archangel Michael have access to your cells, your DNA, your heart center, your Akashic records. And three, another breath in, will very simply allow your conscious mind to relax, allowing your physical body to relax, and knowing that

Nels:

you're noticing some smells, which is, some

Mark:

smells? Yeah. Cool. What kind of smells are you noticing?

Nels:

It smells like stone, maybe sand, dust, you

Mark:

know?

Nels:

I'm maybe a cool sensation on the bottom of my feet.

Mark:

That's wonderful. That's wonderful. Great. So we'll just trust the system works here, and that your senses are engaged, your body is engaged. That's great. And we'll just keep counting down here for a moment. We'll just breathe in with two, and we'll feel like everything is already done, that there's a beautiful integration and wonderful information, and the world getting bigger in unique and lovely ways. So we'll just gently breathe into all that, and we'll arrive at a big breath at one, and we'll very simply breathe in here. If you could just gently notice your feet, And just organically notice if those are men's feet, women's feet, children's feet, or a different kind of foot. And just trust what you get. Once again, it might be a flash or a little glimpse.

Nels:

It's a coolness underfoot.

Mark:

Okay.

Nels:

Feeling maybe hung up on the size of my feet, maybe more than anything else.

Mark:

Okay. What are you noticing there? Are they huge feet?

Nels:

It's I'm, my mind is trying to. Decide whether they're big or small. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Mark:

Why don't we just notice, we'll just take in that detail, just notice with the coolness under your feet, what surface are those feet on?

Nels:

Feels like stone. Like marble inside.

Mark:

Okay, good deal. Wonderful. And is that indeed an interior space, or like a balcony, or a hallway?

Nels:

Feels like the end of a hallway, maybe a balcony. Okay.

Mark:

Wonderful. Let's see if we could just breathe into that. And is that an ornate space or a beautiful space, or what's that space like with the marble?

Nels:

Open, lots of air, lots of light.

Mark:

Okay, wonderful. Let's just breathe in here for a moment. Wonderful. And let's just notice the being who you are, the person who's perceiving that. Let's just very simply just notice, is that being alone, or is there other people around?

Nels:

Okay,

Mark:

wonderful. If we could just very simply just breathe in, and perhaps just with a glance, just a very simple glance, if we could just notice that person's body, and what information comes forward, just noticing that person's body. I

Nels:

think it's It's a boy,

Mark:

maybe

Nels:

adolescent, early teens.

Mark:

Wonderful. And what's he wearing?

Nels:

It felt like a robe. Okay. Maybe like linen or some sort of natural fiber.

Mark:

Okay. Wonderful. So we'll just breathe into all that information, and if we could just notice what this person is engaged with, how they feel, are they happy, are they sad, are they anxious, are they bored? Anxious. Anxious. Good. Let's just breathe into that. Let's just gather information and let Archangel Michael help. What is this boy anxious about?

Nels:

Feels like maybe there's a change in his life. Something that he is being prepared for, that maybe he's, maybe not sure that he's ready for. Okay. Wonderful.

Mark:

Let's just breathe into that. And let's just let, once again, Archangel Michael fast forward to the next thing. And what comes there?

Nels:

I think it's a journey.

Mark:

Horses

Nels:

and ships. And not very far in the future.

Mark:

Okay. Okay. And what's his feeling about this journey and the trip?

Nels:

Again, anxiety. The sense of boredom, maybe. Okay. Feeling of something important about to happen, but this kind of like time that it takes to get there. Okay.

Mark:

Okay. So let's just breathe in. Great reporting. Let's just notice the arrival. Let's just notice the arrival and what happens next.

Nels:

I'm feeling like maybe they didn't get there. Yeah.

Mark:

Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay, so let's just notice we don't need to know what happened there. We don't need to know. This is the thing with past lives. We typically focus on doom and dread and been killed. We just know that information is enough. So let's just take in a breath. So feel cool to you to not, we don't need to dive into it. So let's just take in a breath. Let's very simply come back to holding Archangel Michael's hand. And we're going to let Michael activate all the good from that young man's life, his sense of self, his awareness of what he wants, and also his powerful intuition that he knew something was up. Let's very simply release, turn off the light on being told what to do. Losing his autonomy and being killed, having a short life, and we could perhaps just notice that he wasn't able to speak up for himself, be that through cultural things or his age or what was happening in his city or village and anything involving war. So we'll just breathe in. How does it feel to activate that and to release that, Nels? What do you feel in you? Yeah, go ahead.

Nels:

I feel sad.

Mark:

Do you? Okay. I feel a

Nels:

little sad. Yeah. Okay.

Mark:

Let's just honor that sadness. That's not fair. It's not fair. So we'll just breathe in. And if we could very simply, if we see here, Nels, that, our soul, this is from Brian Weiss past life expert, our soul is a mirror ball. It's mosaic. So let's just notice you're sharing a lifetime with that young man, and we honor him by you living a good life, and we're honoring him by connecting with him right now. And we ask, thank you, Archangel Michael, for bringing relief to that lifetime. That Nels shares with his soul. And how he died. Doesn't matter. It makes sense. Like generically, we think that past lives is where we're going to see ourselves, burned, hung murdered all these bad things happening. And what about the power of positive past lives and recognizing the fullness of our experience as souls. and incarnations on this planet. So that's a space in terms of what, what can actually happen for the individual. And our intention was communication the theme, which I believe we spoke about at the end, that the first three lifetimes, essentially you had no voice.

Krista:

Interesting.

Mark:

Oh and past lives reveal themes and patterns. And then we get to make an adjustment based on the themes and patterns that are revealed and get into a space of choice. Does that resonate, Nels, for what we're talking about?

Nels:

Yeah, it does.

Mark:

And the main thing is, we think we're making it up, but we're not. When we do all the technique things, and past lives are a very technique focused dynamic. We just trust what comes forward. So if our intention is, thank you, Archangel Michael for bringing forward four past lives for NELS connected with communication. And that first one is what comes up where this kid had no voice and he was right. That's something to move. That's something to change where you do have a voice, that you are heard, you are seen. And this is where true healing happens. We don't get hung up on the details, we get into the core essence of what is being revealed in that one lifetime. And then seeing that echo in the next two, and the fourth one being a completely different space.

Krista:

Nils, given your history, were you surprised at all at how much you were able to receive and or surrender to the process?

Nels:

Yeah, I guess a little bit. The stories came more easily, than I thought they would. I knew going into it that I wasn't going to look down and see my feet change like that's just not the way that I perceive things like L did a sound session for me once and did a little bit of journeying during that and I always. experience like spaces first, probably because of the nature of my work, I'm constantly envisioning space. And so I tend to notice those details, the type of light, the texture of materials, that kind of thing. But I guess I was surprised how quickly Those went from just the normal conceptualizations of space that flow through my brain every minute of every day to like getting focused into narrative arcs that then elicited some emotion. So that was pretty surprising that happened as easily as it did.

Krista:

Did you have an experience where your normal cognitive processes shifted into something where you're like that's not me. That's not how I normally operate. Either through information coming in or a visualization. Was anything within the experience new to you or different to you?

Nels:

Yeah, definitely. And Mark, we actually didn't talk about this. It was more of a reflection that happened afterwards, but the fourth life the one where I felt like I was in utero and then feeling compelled to ask about this kind of phantom weight that I have experienced occasionally it just almost just feels like there's something or someone there sometimes, I think, I don't know, it's impossible to prove one way or the other, but I think I might have had a twin in utero. And I every time I think about that experience, I go, Oh maybe that's what that is, and I'm carrying some phantom connection or something, I don't know, but that was an idea that came not from me, like I was in that space, and it was like, hello, I'm here, that was pretty unexpected.

Mark:

I think, just quickly, that's profound. And in our analytical minds, perhaps the analytical part is irrelevant, and the experience is what's important there. And that's information and the fact that it resonates and it has an echo of something you've experienced and felt your whole life. And that perhaps we got to shift that a bit or put it into a context. And thank you Archangel Michael for bringing forward a fourth Past Life Connected with Communication for NELS right now. We'll just breathe in. What do you notice with the space, with the atmosphere?

Nels:

very ethereal, having a hard time grasping at anything physical.

Mark:

Okay. And let's just trust it may mean there may not be anything physical. Let's just breathe in. And are you noticing that as an observation or as an experience? What'd you say?

Nels:

I'd say an experience.

Mark:

Okay, wonderful. Let's just breathe in. And what is the experience? What are you feeling in that etheric space?

Nels:

It's almost like energy flows moving. Not really spiraling, but passing back and forth.

Mark:

Fantastic. Wonderful. So we'll just gently breathe into that. And what else do you notice there now?

Nels:

It's an incredibly empty space. There's beauty in the empty, emptiness.

Mark:

If you could just notice, Is this an individual experience, is this a group consciousness experience, or is this everything one energy? It's like a oneness experience.

Nels:

I almost feel like I'm inside of something, or someone, or something like that.

Mark:

Okay. Wonderful. Let's just let Archangel Michael illuminate anything that would help. Give it even more of a context, if it says trust the experience.

Nels:

I honestly feel like I'm in a womb.

Mark:

Do you? Okay, wonderful. So let's just breathe into that, and let's indeed just notice all needs being met, and they're being loved. They're being loved here. And you being wanted. Did you have an additional awareness or thought there, Nels?

Nels:

It's a tangential thought, actually, but occasionally I'll feel almost like a burden on my back when I don't have, it's almost like a like a phantom burden. And it's something that I noticed, I can't remember the first time I noticed it, but I've noticed it for much of my life. And as we are having this experience, my focus shifted to that, and I just felt the urge to acknowledge. that.

Mark:

I appreciate you bringing that up. Let's let, if you could just say out loud, thank you Archangel Michael for lifting the burden off of my back.

Nels:

Thank you Archangel Michael for lifting the burden off of my back. It's almost like a presence. Yeah. Between my shoulder blades.

Mark:

Okay. Okay. And how do you noticing that? Is that you feel someone there or you feel a hand there or what's your experience?

Nels:

I feel something there. Okay. I don't know that it's a human.

Mark:

Okay.

Krista:

having a relationship to that, however, you want to characterize it, sensation experience can then lend itself to you, creating a different relationship with that experience and having more and more.

Nels:

Maybe this is a subtle push to say it's okay to pray. You don't have to, you don't have to bless your food before every meal. You don't have to get down on your knees at the edge of your bed and hold a bible, but you know you It's okay to Okay. To pray. It's okay to open up and release some control and say, I'm here, I need help, or I'm here and just wanna talk or whatever. It's

El:

nels. What was your experience during the session?

Nels:

It's, it started with this looking or waiting for something to happen. Is this going to happen? And then just letting it. Just letting it happen and just turning the volume down a little bit and just Mark, I think you used the phrase reporting, starting to not assign value to anything, I'm just copying words from one page to the other without really translating them, pure transcription, no translation. And I think once I got into that, Transcription mode is when we started getting some content starting to come through, which was, interesting because it's, that's a design process. Like that's when I'm drawing, when I'm writing, when I'm working, that's, you have to silence that internal monologue and just allow the creativity to come out. And there's a lot of work that I have done. To try and enhance those flow states. And so it just felt like I was entering a flow state in some sense.

Krista:

Dare you say channeling?

Nels:

When I think of channeling, I think of automatic writing. And that feels like something very different, but I guess it's similar. And then the experience itself was, emotional. I mean, I was surprised at the range of emotions that I went through from anxiety to fear to, love, excitement. Connection and then this kind of like super connection love at the end not to just keep saying love over and over but Yeah, I think the range of emotion pretty powerful pretty real. Yeah

Mark:

Yeah, coming back to the core wound of insignificance or isolation that in doing what we did with Nels, my job as the facilitator is to make sure that he knows that he is not alone, that I'm going to guide him through the whole thing and that. Giving a heads up, like what's going to happen. So that's a held space and in the held space, he has room to relax and just report and to have an experience rather than try to see what's happening. So it's just allowing, and I honor you Nels for how well that worked for you. Just very simply, like what's actually here, that's a held space. And it's important that we have held spaces.

Krista:

Nels, I would be interested in learning. What, if anything you've noticed since or any benefit that you. have felt

Nels:

I think what it has done is reignited a fire around This is something I should probably spend more time on, and I don't really know how or in what mode that manifests yet.

El:

Nels, in terms of your intention going into the session, which was to work on communication, do you have any takeaways to support concrete areas of your life?

Nels:

Short answer is yes. I think formulating that into a response the first life, the fear of missing out, the fear of not being able to accomplish what has been set Out for you is something I feel every day, it's the kind of constant like anxiety around you get one chance to get it right, and I think maybe what the overall experience has shared is don't only have one chance to get it right. Like you can back off a little bit and allow it to just unfold and practice that way and just let it. Let life be life and not really try to make it into what you want it to be necessarily. I have a cousin that, that told me sometimes it's okay just to wake up in the morning. Sometimes it's okay just to be alive. You don't really have to do anything. Which was just like a slap in the face, because for me, and my life, and my career, and my family, I've got a to do list a mile long, and I gotta get through that so I can get to the next, because I've got to accomplish this goal by this time, and It's okay just to wake up and do it again the next day, and so while maybe the regression session didn't actively speak to communication, I feel like my issues with communication are rooted more in. And anxiety and control and those types of things, which cloud judgment around communication. And so in that sense, I do feel like there's some concrete takeaway there.

Krista:

Because this is the beginner's guide. Mark, I just have a couple questions for you that I think might relate to how people might process this. So is this a form of hypnosis?

Mark:

No. You're right there. And in, in your awareness in a held space is just recognizing the depth of your experience. And so it gets to integrate. And the whole point, rather than my telling Nels, Oh, you had this life when you were a kid and you died at sea. He gets to experience it. And that's the space where the integration happens and with the very specific practice of activating the good and releasing what's not serving him anymore. That then instantly integrates.

Krista:

And then are you seeing what they're seeing or feeling what they're feeling? A bit.

Mark:

Yeah. The power is in the person experiencing it, having it. In, in, in their vision, in their body, in their mind, I will have an awareness intuitively of what they're experiencing for sure. I might be directed to a question or just very simply in having done this hundreds of times that have a sense of what he's experiencing. Also very simply knows was very expressive. I could see what was happening, just by paying attention to him.

Krista:

And it goes back to creating a space,

Mark:

creating a space, but just that. That it's here. It's not somewhere else that it's here and it's here. We get to integrate and change and have the empowerment and have the healing that happens right, in the moment.

Krista:

how do you balance your energy and what kinds of things knock you out of alignment?

Mark:

Self care is non attachment. Also being diligent with energy as an empath are naturally inclined to take it all on, and it's doing the opposite. So to have an intention for each reading. To decidedly clear energy before and after and to not hold on to anything. And that takes a while to learn, which doesn't mean that you don't care, but to be completely non attached to what comes forward, especially if someone's in crisis and to truly at the core of the work is let's let the angels handle that, let's let the guides handle that. And what interests me in this is that the focus doesn't go to me. The focus goes to the work so when people project toward me, you're the one with the information, I'm just gonna, detach from that, there's nothing I'm gonna hold on to with that. But to, in terms of self care, it is recognizing what is actually happening and just to not let any projection happen to steer the conversation toward empowerment. Also, just advocating for a peaceful planet. And recognizing all the things that are happening now that, that are reactions to the energy of the planet having already changed and that we are heading toward a space where there's no greed and no guns, you know, that, that is where we're heading. And this idea of the narrative of unworthiness and disempowerment vanishing, that we exist in a space where we encourage each other and we're active generosity. That's what it seems. And great peace in that where we all tune in.

Krista:

Do you think we'll see that in our lifetimes?

Mark:

Absolutely.

Krista:

You do?

Mark:

I do. I do. And this is not like la spiritual talk if we witness existing authority quote unquote panicking, absolutely panicking, which is why all the authoritarianism and things like that, all the rules We're breaking, it's like Neo and the Matrix. We're breaking through this idea of who's in charge and everybody wants peace and love and our methods are different. And it's just seeing where, why not advocate for what we want? We're a world where everyone has their needs met and exceeded, that there is enough for everyone. And as spiritual people, we are leading the way right now. And anyone with a spiritual incarnation, we are leading the way. Most people are really distracted right now. And in the narrative of those guys are in power, not you. And if what has changed is that it's no longer okay to be unconscious. If we are conscious and we have intention and we do things like work with acacia records or sound healing or sound baths. or work with angels and guides, that we're all doing the same thing, that we're making the world bigger. And it's recognizing that bigness includes everyone. And so this is informative in terms of any narrative that gets into an us and them, or you shouldn't like these people, that we, can bypass that. This said, let's be as spiritual as we possibly can and heal as much as we can. Let's do that. And we have so many different ways to do it. And keep growing. And let's not worry about the people who maybe aren't ready to change. That's okay. We're not going to make them wrong or bad, but we're going to very simply notice we're leading the way. We are creating a world with intention and vision and action that everyone else will inhabit. And the importance of healing our own stuff is that we know how to do it.

Krista:

And

Mark:

so when others are ready to heal, we know what to do, but it's all going to work out. One of my favorite comedians, Bill Hicks he died in 94, but he was into oneness and he had a thing of the perfect world where everything's worked out. Hey, it's all going to work out your sports.

Krista:

It's all going to work out. Here's what

Mark:

Sports. It's like a newscast, like the news in the perfect world. Sorry, I didn't set it up right.

Krista:

And

Mark:

the news in the perfect world is, hey, it's all going to work out. Here's sports.

Krista:

I love it. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much for your time. You're welcome. Is there anything you'd like to add that you can think of?

Mark:

That it is all going to work out.

Krista:

Yeah. And

Mark:

for real, like all the narratives are constrictive right now. Let's do the exact opposite and be big. Let's do the exact opposite. I do honor both of you for doing a podcast that is designed to help people. And to meet them right where they are, and the value of being able to articulate how this actually works.

Krista:

We're showing roads. We're showing pathways.

Mark:

Mostly we have podcasts where we talk about the work around the show, and I think it's profound to show it and to show what's possible. And I honor Nels for a being willing and being to just to I

Nels:

just want to echo and say thank you for thinking of me and, allowing me to do this because, it's not something that I would have sought out on my own, probably, and I think for a lot of people on my walk of life, it's not something that maybe even people know exists. Yeah, pretty special. So thank you for that.

El:

And Mark, where can we find you? And what are some of the services that you provide in addition to regression work?

Mark:

Through my website, markmezadorian. com, the main thing that happens is connecting with angels and guides and to see what they say. Usually people come when there's something happening, that there's a prompt that we'll address that immediately. And that if there's a crisis, we'll bring peace to it. And if there's not a crisis, we'll bring peace and expansion. The whole goal is to make the world bigger and to to heal and to let healing be simple and easy and practical, and also to have a strategy, to put things into a context where there's a strategy and action steps moving forward.

El:

Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate all of your time. This has been super informative.

Krista:

Thank you. All right. Bye. Thanks. Take

Mark:

care. Bye.
