I Am a Soul with a Body, Not a Body with a Soul

Witnessing a client’s healing transformation during a spiritual regression into the Life Between Lives is a deeply moving experience for a facilitator. This shift in perspective, occurring on the highest perceptual level of consciousness in the soul world, is often the most effective and lasting factor in healing conflicts and traumas. This case study presents an impressive example of such a transformation.
Max, a 47-year-old CEO of a large firm, married and with three teenage children, had always been successful in all aspects of his life. However, for more than two years, his wife had gradually withdrawn due to her own unresolved childhood issues, sinking into a deep depression without seeking help. Not being able to help her and feeling estranged, Max had engaged in a sexual affair with an old school friend. Though this affair partially replaced his wife’s companionship, he saw no future in it. Rather, he was a family man who did not want to endanger his family and felt guilty from the fact that he was betraying his wife. This situation led to anxiety, panic attacks, lack of drive, and hopelessness. Max’s once decisive nature had vanished, making important decisions difficult. He felt he had lost his sense of self and trust in himself and his future.
With no prior experience with hypnosis, we initially scheduled a few hypnotherapy sessions to get to know his inner resource parts through parts work and learn to deal constructively with his emotional parts and fears. It quickly became clear that he was seeking deeper understanding and solutions. Thus, we started with a simple regression to a significant past life.
Max easily entered a deeper trance, experienced positive childhood memories and the first important perceptions from his soul’s perspective in the womb. He felt he had planned his life as Max and sensed he brought the necessary tools for his tasks: “I am filled with calm certainty. My strength and confidence are immense. And I look forward to the tasks. Everything is just as it should be, and I have no fear.” He also had his first contact with his soul guide, a warm, loving light that provided stability. Max then experienced three different past lives, including one as a gecko being in a peaceful world where he communicated with everything and everyone around him through special sounds. He was a thinking and feeling being, one with the nature surrounding him. The other ones were two human incarnations: a man with an easy life and a woman managing a difficult life. Through the death scene of his fulfilling life as a man, he entered the soul world and reflected on his experiences with his soul guide.
Max was impressed by the diversity of his reviewed incarnations. He felt both their very different energies and the strength and confidence as a soul to be able to handle challenges. “After each round, I take more with me, becoming stronger, more advanced, more powerful.”. His soul guide’s messages were: “Do not fear. Love every moment, including your current body. There are no mistakes, only decisions. Embrace it and be honest. Decide in love. I am always with you, you can trust.” Max left this session, fascinated by his perspectives from the various incarnations, and especially as a non-human being, with a feeling of calm and a sort of “strength in his spine.”
A week later, we met for the Life Between Lives hypnosis session. The most relevant questions Max brought with him were: “What is my soul’s plan for this incarnation and how can I fulfill it? Can I reconnect with my wife? How can I support her? Can I save my relationship? How do I regain my decisiveness? How can I better feel myself and open up?” The session flowed as easily as the past life regression; experiences in childhood and the womb were again positive, and this time we looked at a single past life in several life stages. However, it quickly became clear that it was not a past life but a future one: he experienced himself in the first scene as the 80-year-old Hans in the year 2213, who had led a fulfilled life as a successful entrepreneur. It was his 80th birthday, his large family celebrated with him, and he shared his life wisdom with them. Through many open questions, we also explored the circumstances of that time: “There is so much love and respect on Earth. People are more cooperative; everyone wants everyone to be well. There are good primary virtues. Everyone also treats materials, nature, and resources with respect. Conflicts are resolved constructively and straightforwardly. The climate is humid and warm, people have adapted well, and there is much health.” Hans experienced his death scene peacefully, very consciously, and self-determinedly; letting go, releasing the soul, and transitioning came easily to him. Entering his soul homeland felt like immersing in a unity. He described the feeling as “reclaiming his place in a sea of plants. This could also be a sea of water or a sea of energy. All has its place; I am the blossom and the blossom sea simultaneously, the drop and the sea, I am an individual light point in the great illumination and also the great illumination itself. Everything is simultaneous.”
I silently held the space for Max to deeply experience this sacred moment. Following this, Max’s soul energy merged with that of his soul guide, who also answered Max’s questions. The perception was like a multimedia presentation; he heard clear answers from the soul guide, felt his own multidimensionality throughout, saw past, present, and future scenes from Max’s and his wife’s lives, and simultaneously had the perception of the soul energies of himself and his wife within the surreal plant sea. He described this as “a hologram overlaid on images of the earthly space-time world.” In rapid succession, images from other incarnations appeared, in total 12 different life forms. Regarding the life questions, it was made clear to him that Max should end the affair but approach his wife with courage, trust, and honesty in love, patience, and support. He perceived these answers feeling the quality of that dimension without time and space, and it was not significant at that moment what earthly time scales would apply. However, the feeling that grew from this multidimensional experience was so strong that it gave rise to an incredible calm and certainty that things would develop as they should. Messages from his soul guide were: “Know yourself, understand, and overcome human feelings. Fear is just a feeling, but there is nothing to lose. You are always safe. It is not dangerous to open up and be honest. That will be painful at first, but you will overcome it. Sexuality is important for humans; you will also rediscover it with your wife but give her time. You are love. There are no mistakes. There is no punishment when you decide. Make a decision not from the head but from the heart. There you will find yourself and me. We guide Max. Every flower will remind him of all this.”
After the reorientation, Max, totally overwhelmed from that experience, felt the need to exchange only a few words in our aftertalk. We only anchored his contact with his soul and soul guide, touching his heart area and taking three deep breaths, and I reminded him that flowers also serve as an anchor for a quick connection with the spiritual world.
A month later, Max reported having ended the affair. He did not yet want to burden his wife with an intense conversation due to her own depressive exhaustion, though, but since then, he saw his wife with the eyes of his soul, feeling deep love and connection with her again. It was easier to subordinate his sexual needs to his love, and he no longer felt them as desperately pressing. His wife had also perceived this changed energy in him and started doing things that were good for her. His own fears had significantly diminished, and panic attacks had not occurred anymore. He had gotten into the habit of meditating in the mornings and actively seeking contact and exchange with his soul self and his soul guide. Here he found affirmation for decisions, which he made with increasing confidence. He described how he feels authenticity growing: “It feels like growing more and more into myself.”, and stated, “Even though I always had success and happiness in life in the past, I now feel that I really know who I am deep within. I am a soul and have a body. I used to think it was the other way around.”
This experience now lies a year in the past, and I met Max again two months ago. He reported that his wife was currently in inpatient treatment and making good progress in her own healing process. Much had changed for the better; the communication culture with her was characterized by respect, and he could be patient in the face of her positive steps. He felt the transformation he had undergone, the experience of his multidimensionality, as all-encompassing. Whether in supporting his children, dealing with others, at work, or viewing nature and world events: he could no longer help but see in every person a self-determined soul as well as the bigger plan in everything. Qualities such as authenticity, respect, love, and gratitude characterized his interactions with everything and everyone. Finding himself in this way gave him a deep calm and serenity, which was also reflected back to him by those around him. The seed that had sprouted within him spread to his entire environment and began to initiate healing processes there as well.
This amazing transformational process, besides the interesting insight into a possible positive future development of humans on earth, holds beautiful learning. Having been a tool for Max´s awakening, and generally for these sacred processes, fills me with deep joy and gratitude. Experiences like these confirm that our work is effective, healing, rewarding, and full of wonders. Ultimately, this represents our most important task: to help people awaken to their true nature and become a blessing for themselves and others from their deepest soul core. ♥
