In praise of your Planning Meeting

It’s snowing again, here in suburban D.C. But not before my client Gladys stopped by for a couple of hours of Energy Release Regression Therapy. Today we got to do one of my favorite types of session, revisiting her Planning Meeting before this lifetime.

You had one, too, you know. Whether or not you consciously remember it, or ever have done a session of regression therapy or hypnosis or had a psychic reading with anyone ever. 

Regardless of whether you know, or care, a smidge about energetic literacy, there has been an official Planning Meeting. About. Your. Purpose. In. This. Lifetime.

Certain themes come up in this type of regression therapy – not every time with every client. But often enough for me to have pieced together a very common story about planning to incarnate as you may have, since you are living now.

In case you’re curious, here are some of the details I have found to this pattern. They are put together here as a generalization, because it may prove helpful. But please know that this isn’t necessarily YOUR story. For thousands of us, though, it is.

So if this picture strikes a chord within you, enjoy the resonance, the harmonics, the extra bit of musical soundtrack to your life right now.

Welcome to your Planning Meeting for this lifetime

Before a human lifetime, you’re not wearing a human body, you kidding? Instead, you’re in your trusty, comfortable body of light. Indestructible, colorful, shimmery, fitting just fine… with no need for dieting… ever.

You’re with a trusted leader of your personal Planning Meeting. It could be a Divine Being with whom you’ve always felt a close relationship in this lifetime, like Jesus, Kwan Yin, or Archangel Michael. Or it could simply be with a trusted energy presence of appropriate stature, someone qualified to lead this kind of meeting for you.

Along with you are other souls, maybe a dozen, maybe hundreds. They are present to bring encouragement as you commit to this new adventure. Some of the “folks” assembled there volunteer to incarnate and become part of your upcoming lifetime.

Every Planning Meeting includes a Life Contract. This covers main events of your lifetime up to the age of 21 — or in some cases, 28. Other events can be included also, such as a person to marry or marry-and-divorce, a soul to birth as a child, a major life crisis such as an illness, some other major obstacle to overcome.

A definite death date will be established, counted in life breaths. Several optional Early Exit opportunities will be tucked into the plan as well, just in case you want the equivalent of a “Get out of jail free” card.

What matters will be how you respond to all those planned incidents: The good, the bad, and the ugly. Your free will matters a lot here at Earth School.

Depending on your choices, your values, your degree of grace under pressure — that sets in motion new karma, new actions by you and others. Think of a path branching out, one turn after another. The route you take will be up to you.

That’s why I believe so strongly in free will. Take that opportunity to make something great of your life. Whatever else happens, you can chalk up to determinism.

Truth is, if you don’t believe in free will, you can live out that Life Contract just fine. Only it won’t be nearly as interesting or growthful, waiting to find out what you are “supposed” to do.

Most of us do come to earth to evolve, although some mainly come to enjoy. In Gladys’ session, she noticed one person from her life now who planned to incarnate around the same time. Most of the souls who were getting ready to incarnate around this time were, like her, hardworking and very serious about making Earth a better place. By contrast, “Lindsey” was coming to earth mainly to enjoy.

When we talked, post-hypnosis, Gladys said dryly, “How ironic that Lindsey mainly came to enjoy. From what I can tell, that’s exactly what she hasn’t been able to do recently.” Oh well….

What we incarnating ones do have in common

Different clients come up with different images. Here is one that I especially like.

Gladys and other beings stand around a light table. Everyone, including Kwan Yin, is sending some personal light down into that table. The energies swirl until they form a vortex. This vortex makes it vibrationally possible for Gladys to incarnate properly at the end of this Planning Meeting.

It’s considered a great honor, having the chance to incarnate on earth at this particular time. All the souls are really excited because this is a time of such big change for humanity. It’s time for this planet to get up to speed. Many souls have loose ends, unfinished business, that has been dragging on for centuries. This has deposited gunk, a kind of film, throughout the planet.

Now is the time for souls like Gladys to come in, clean up that unfinished business, and get herself free. She also is going to have the chance to develop a multi-dimensional body, like many others on earth, a body where the human form is only a part of the whole.

What makes this so exciting for her? Although she’s well used to being in a multi-dimensional body, this is to be her very first incarnation where she consciously does that while living in a human body on earth.

And there’s more

As they say in the infomercials, right? Yes, there is definitely more.

Besides tying up her loose ends, overcoming obstacles that have slammed her lifetime after lifetime, Gladys is part of a collective project.

Many highly evolved souls are coming back to earth around the same time. All of them are going to do this kind of wake-up, choosing rather difficult childhoods etc. to make the waking-up rather more interesting. This pacemaking, this collective rhythm of awakening, can get earth unstuck, she is told.

Are these every evolved ones the only type of soul going to be incarnating during this time?

After I pose this question, Gladys practically laughs out loud. No, she explains, as if this part should be obvious. A whole lot of souls are incarnating to play a very different role. They are just the opposite. Instead of welcoming change, and doing all they can to evolve spiritually, they are coming to dig in their heels and aim for the lowest common denominator.

That’s part of the game, Gladys says. It’s needed so that the fast-moving group of souls get to do push-back.

Push-back, what’s that? On a polarity planet, some souls need others to react against, just to get them motivated.

So, thank you very much Sarah Palin! That’s what I think. What I ask Gladys is: “Do you have any other questions to ask about during this Planning Meeting?”

Gladys does, an excellent question.

What about failure?

Gladys has been through plenty of lifetimes that were vile. Others have been merely disappointing. Still others great.

One distinctive feature of the particular type of regression that I facilitate is the emphasis on locating stuck energies and permanently removing them. (A skill set developed originally by pioneering regression therapist Coletta Long, Ph.D.) Hence the name, Energy Release Regression Therapy.

So I have been there in previous sessions, guiding Gladys through many a horrid experience – lovely to heal but not necessarily pure entertainment while re-living it. Considering the various hideosities that have been visited upon Gladys, I nearly cheer to hear Gladys ask this question:

Kwan Yin, you know there have been many lifetimes where I went in with great plans, but they never materialized. Just how likely is it that I — that this whole group of souls — will succeed?

Success is certain, Gladys is told.

Funny, I’ve been feeling that way, too. How about you?
