By mickey1039 - July 27, 2010

I'm a 70 year old, young man, and have been carrying around some out-dated, un-wanted, worn-out -- useless, negative baggage since I was a small child. After my session's with Stephanie I'm convinced some of this baggage came into this life with me from other life times. ie: fear, anger, depression, anxiety, abandonment issues. I had had enough!! It was taking to much of my power, time, and energy away from my full self-expression as the person I wanted to 'out-poor' in the world. I met Stephanie on her web site while Goggling Brian Weiss author of "Many Lives Many Masters." I read her complete site and got a real sense of her intuitive abilities. The more I read, the more connected I felt with her energy. After reading ALL of her website, I decided to e-mail her and include my phone#. She called me the next morning at 9-A.M. I immediately picked up her 'kindness-of-heart'. I have had 5- 2hr. sessions with her comforting energy. And I must say it was a good investment in time and money for this guy. I had finished reading her insightful book "Love From Both Sides" by our 2nd session. She personalizes your sessions, and has a unique way of getting to 'the heart of the matter' - your matters. She creates a safe and comfortable 'space' for you to process. You never leave empty handed. Stephanie records personalized CD's for you to play when at home. I joke with her telling her I take her to bed with me every night and wake up with her in the morning. Bottom line, ........ the process works. Each time I listen to a CD I get insights, and re- energized with new information on the 'how-to's' in transforming my life and making my sojourn more meaningful and peaceful from the inside-out. Stephanie has assisted me in opening a 'new door into summer'. I'm now in the process of re-programing my computer (mind - brain), and de-hypnotizing myself out of my past belief systems. Stephanie has given me ALL the right ingredients that make up the 'stew' that is me. Thank you Stephanie for being on planet Earth as a shining light for all those whose lives you have changed. Peace,.... Mickey

Stephanie is Exactly What I Needed -

I first went to Stephanie in January 2010. I had lost my 27 year old son Brian in December 2008 (my only child). He truly is the love of my life. One of his very best friends had given me Brian Weiss's book "Many Lives Many Masters."  After reading the book I was guided to Stephanie. I have gotten so much from every single visit with her. On top of the amazing grief counseling and the reconnection with my son, she has helped me with so many other issues. I have been able to forgive and truly love my mother, forgive, love and understand myself, understand what I am doing with and truly understand and love my husband, move mountains at work, and much more. I thank God all the time in my prayers for bringing me to Stephanie. With her help I have transformed my life. I have an amazing lust for life again. I feel so blessed to have found her. We have done hypnosis cds, life regressions, past life regressions, and just talked about things. There is still more to do. With Stephanie’s guidance I feel the sky is the limit!

Andrew G. - Hollywood, California, July 2010 - Penis problems

I'm a set designer and my wife is an artist.  Stephanie helped me with "performance anxiety" that was interfering with my marriage.  (And making me feel less than a man!)  Stephanie taught me to re-direct my obsessive behaviors toward healthy thoughts and actions.  Aside from dramatically decreasing my anxiety at home, there's been a terrific improvement in my experience at work.  Stephanie's "Work Success CD" totally rocks!  My own self-confidence and self esteem have increased ten-fold.  In addition the books and exercises that Stephanie suggested opened up areas of life that now make my life so rich! I cannot recommend her highly enough.  Thank you, Stephanie! My wife thanks you, too! ;^)) 

Rachael L, West Hollywood, California - May 21, 2010

Literally Changed My Life!

The first reason that I chose Stephanie was her proximity to my house.  Lucky me :))! For almost 20 years, I have suffered from a self-sabotaging binge-eating disorder brought on by repressions of my true passions by my parents in my younger years. Some people turn to drugs and alcohol to cope -- I chose food.  I watched my weight fluctuate from 120 lbs. to 155 lbs. year after year. In April of 2010 I hit the wall and literally had enough. If a hypnotherapist could not help me, then I was at a loss. I am a personal trainer and Pilates teacher.  It is imperative for me to be in peak physical condition -- practice what you preach, right?  Well, carrying around 30 pounds of extra weight brought a whole range of other problems to the table.  The big one that affected my success in life was depression.  Major bouts of depression and self-loathing which turned into more binge eating episodes. I spent two months with Stephanie and I am a new woman.  My body fat is melting away, binge eating is a thing of the past! I have a feeling renewed self-confidence, I feel sexy, alive and completely and totally in love with life. My boyfriend is loving my new body and now I can truly help my clients get the body that they have always dreamed of.  Stephanie is not only a remarkable woman, honest, kind and caring, but she is a genius at what she does.  She gives you the tools and education you need to pull yourself out of the damaging behavior that is ruining your life.  She makes you CD's to listen to at home.  If you do one thing, LISTEN to your CD's twice a day!!!! It works!  If you are serious about turning you life around, do five sessions with Stephanie and you will be amazed.

Holly M., Manhattan Beach, California

I'm a project manager and a registered nurse, which means I know computers and I understand body-mechanics.  I originally I came to see Stephanie when I had a hugely stressful corporate job - I was head of IT at a dysfunctional company. I knew I needed help to take off the 40 pounds, because I simply wasn't able to take it off by myself. Sure, I'd go on a diet and maybe lose 20 pounds, but I'd always gain it back again. I was desperate, and I was ready to try anything - even hypnosis.  But, once Stephanie explained exactly what hypnosis was, (no swinging watches!), I had a new understanding of how my brain "was just badly programmed." And she taught me how to "fix the bad programming," and essentially delete the corrupted files that were making me reach for a donut when I got stressed! Amazing! I've lost all my weight now - it didn't happen overnight - and I now weigh 120 pounds. What's really great is that I know I'll never gain it back, because I never dieted. I simply changed my behaviors, and craved healthy foods that fed my brain. I continue to see Stephanie, because besides helping me create my new body, she's been invaluable in helping me to create my own new business! I listen to her "Confidence" CD, and "Creating Abundance" CD almost daily.  I recommend her highly.

Michelle A., Encino, California -- A lifetime of nightmares released!

I called Stephanie because I was desperate. I had what could only be called "potty-mouth" nightmares.  I'd wake my husband and children up screaming obscenities, and it embarrassed me and scared my children. I'd tried psychotherapy, drugs, and anything else that all the experts suggested, but nothing worked.  So when I called and talked to Stephanie, she didn't promise me anything.  She said that there were protective "modules" in my brain where information is stored, and that if I thought they'd offer up their protective secrets in one session to a stranger (her) then I would be deeply disappointed.  She asked if I could make a commitment to do five sessions to heal a problem that no one else could fix, and because I thought that sounded completely reasonable, we began.  She explained my brain, and began by just getting me to focus on my thinking... and lose weight! (which I did!)  Then in the second session, she made a CD to access the modules, or "inner children," on the third session, we did a regression where I saw my own birth, and felt my own reaction to my mother.  I was shocked.  I didn't like her at all -- I only wanted my father! That one experience helped me so much, because it explained so many life long problems, but I wasn't done yet.  Stephanie made another CD to help heal those "issues," then I told her that I was ready to find the source of the nightmares.  She put in a state of deep hypnosis, and led me back in time.  "Look at your feet," she said.  "I have boots on. I'm a man, a boy really.  I'm in Viet Nam, and we're heading toward a village where there are only women and children.  I don't understand why I'm going!"  I felt so much fear, so Stephanie asked if it would be okay if I went back to the beginning of that life, and I thought, "Hell, yes!  Get me out of here!"  And there I was with this group of wild boys, in the San Fernando Valley in the '50s.  "It's like I'm with Peter Pan and the Lost Boys," I said.  "Find your parents," Stephanie said.  "No, I want to go to Bobby's house," I said, and she said, "Great.  Find Bobby."  And I when I saw Bobby, I recognized my own real life father (who no one ever calls Bobby - he's Robert!).  It was surreal, to say the least.  I was my own father's best friend as children, and I loved his parents - my own grandparents in this lifetime!  Stephanie guided me to see more scenes.  She kept me focused on the next "significant experience," and I was on double date - we were all teenagers now.  She asked me to look at who I was with, and it was "Bobby" and his date, my own mother.  Only she was only 16 then.  Next, we were at graduation, and it the year was 1964. Then I was back in Vietnam, walking toward that village, and Bam!  A Vietnamese woman sliced open my neck  with a saber.  Stephanie stayed calm and said, "Float above.  Now, did someone kill her, too?"  "Yes," I said.  She's dead.  She's been shot.  She's hovering above her body." "Then I want you to bow to this woman.  Be Asian. Ask her forgiveness for coming into her village now.  Wait until she forgives you, then you will completely forgive her for killing you.  Please understand that she was protecting her family."  I just followed Stephanie's instructions and did what she asked.  The session ended with a release of so much energy that I can't describe it, and my "potty-mouthed" screaming nightmares were released as well.  I haven't had them since, and I'm so grateful.

"I’m the mother of three beautiful girls, I run a huge, busy landscaping business, and did I mention I’m also a wife? I don’t have time to breathe, let alone diet. But Stephanie helped me shed thirty pounds, and let go of the dowdy, big-butt “mom me,” that I had just assumed would be “me” forever. I’m now a sizzling size 6, and Stephanie encourages me to claim my power, sass, and sexiness. My husband thanks her daily, and to my daughters, I’m an inspiration. To myself, I feel so proud of what I’ve accomplished. Some people don’t recognize the new improved me! And even though challenges arise on a daily basis, I don’t head to for sugary, fatty foods. I head for my earphones and listen to one of her amazing CDs – they calm me down, and remind me “that everything is okay this fifteen seconds, and I can handle whatever happens in a calm sensible way.” I surprise myself sometimes with how calm I stay no matter what emergency arises. And I know it’s from what I’ve learned in the past two years! Thank you, Stephanie!"

Lynn P., Producer/Writer

Well, I can say unequivocally, it worked. Stephanie is a true healer, one of the most gifted, caring and intuitive people I've ever encountered. The results speak for themselves: two years ago, I lost 25 pounds and this year lost my addiction to nicotine, both with her guidance and support.

Don't get me wrong. Going to Stephanie is not like taking a pill and then - POOF! - you're healed. It's still (very) hard work. But there's a framework to it, a structure, a support system that seems to go all the way down to your cells. Hard to explain but she comforts, inspires and transforms your thinking in a way that causes you to stay conscious when you make your choices. As a result, you consistently make better ones.

And also, Stephanie is not some airy-fairy type - she's tough, honest, disarmingly direct when she has to be. She sees the truth, and tells you exactly what you need to know in the moment you need to know it.

Since leaving LA, I've had a few setbacks but every time it happens I go straight to one of Stephanie's tapes and quickly get back on track again.  I can't recommend anyone more highly. There is no doubt in my mind that if you go to Stephanie, your life with change for the better.

"Stephanie Riseley is a teacher, a healer, a therapist, a mountain moving force! She will not accept negativity and rather than see you suffer, she will never give up on you until you have actualized the change you seek. I lost weight, overcame a life long battle with anxiety and panic - embraced self love and found comfort with abundance and success in my life on many levels. The work is not a miracle but a journey of letting go and moving into the skin of a new and better you. Stephanie is loving, charming, honest and very serious about the process. She never let me down and instead pushed me to achieve my goals. Weight loss, quitting smoking, grief counseling, and big life changes... she's the one."

Sonia P., - UCLA PhD candidate, wife and mother of two.

February, 2010 -- I first went to see Stephanie because I was curious about doing a regression (I'd read Brian Weiss's book on Past Lifes).  I didn't think I needed any help losing weight.  I thought I could do it by myself. I was very emphatic about it when I called to make the appointment.   But she asked me just to "pretend" I needed help.  Then something completely unexpected and shocking happened.  Stephanie asked me to see myself at 125 pounds, and when she asked me to see myself as beautiful, I burst into tears.  I was without words -- crying over being beautiful! How could that be? Not that I ever felt beautiful, but I always had an explanation, or should I say an excuse for it.  "Looks don't really matter," and things like that.

I realized then that I had more issues than I knew and decided to do something about it, so I signed up for 10 sessions.  I came home with my first CD, but then I made up all kinds of excuses  for not listening to the CD.  Then I began to listen and it made me feel so much better!

Then the time for the second appointment came and with it a huge anxiety attack.  My hands were sweaty just by thinking about it, but I still went.  During that session I said something that I myself didn't expect.  "I'm tired of being a mess.  I'm done.  I'm ready to do something about it." At the time I suspected sexual abuse, but felt that it couldn't be true.  I'd remember that, right?

By the third session, we did a regression and my long repressed memories of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse came flooding out. I remember the extreme fear I felt when I saw my father coming to abuse me, the pain, and sense of betrayal.  It all came out.  The strange thing about it, is that seeing it, knowing about it, gave me such a sense of relief.  It explained so much. All those issues, all those attitudes that I could never explain finally had a reason for being there. I had become so skilled at lying to myself, that now I finally began to be honest.  And it felt strange.  Repressed memories have odd ways of coming to the surface and mine were always there.  I just refused to listen.

Okay, so I had been abused for many years, I accepted that; but now the big issue was, "How do I forgive my father?  How do I forgive my mother for knowing about it and allowing it?"  Stephanie made a CD to begin the healing process, and I started working on the biggest step: Forgiveness. I listened to the CD, but it was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Stephanie advised me to scream my rage out, and to release the anger.  Not express it, but just release it, by pounding a pillow.  Then I realized that if I didn't forgive my father, I would be his victim for the rest of my life. It felt as if I would still be allowing him to abuse me. When he abused me as a child, I had no choice.  It is my choice as an adult to forgive and let go of the pain and the anger.  I choose to forgive.  I never worked so hard to do anything. I thought that the faster I forgave him, the faster I would be able to move on.  I now realize that forgiveness is a long process that cannot be rushed.  I can proudly say that I am well on my way!

I can honestly say that I feel like a different person now. Even though my life didn't change, but my outlook on my own life did. There is no way that I would have done this in this short period of time -- three months - without Stephanie's guidance.  I now feel beautiful.  I weigh 16 pounds less than I did when I first showed up at her office. I am a better mother and a better wife.  I have a lot of work to do still, but now I know that it can be done.  I'm not afraid anymore!  I went from a victim to feeling victorious.

I started with Stephanie four months ago with a goal to loose 40 pounds. To date I have lost 23 pounds and I‘m very happy with my progress thus far. The importance of this testimony is not that I lost weight; it’s that I gained a wonderful coach, counselor, and mentor in Stephanie Riseley.
Some of the tools that I was given by Stephanie to loose the weight included tailor-made hypnosis CD’s that reinforced positive habits such as awareness eating; having access to emergency brain food with me at all times; visualization of reaching my goal; and drinking 8-10 glasses of water daily. The CD’s would program my mind to be aware of the foods that I ate; to only eat while eating; and to listen for my body’s response system for fullness.
Although losing the weight was initially my goal, Stephanie has helped me tremendously with a debilitating autoimmune disorder. My tailor-made CD’s also included tools to manage pain and deal with symptoms; how to manage relationships so that my focus could be to heal my body; and how to control my thoughts and maintain a positive attitude.
In addition, I thank you Stephanie for all that you do to help heal through recommended readings, tips for healthy eating, and suggested exercise."

Kristine G., who lost 25 pounds:
“For many years I have tried everything from personal therapy to diet pills to lose weight. Nothing worked.
But then I found Stephanie, and she helped me understand my brain, and focus on “The Now.” She has helped me walk away ice cream, candy stands and even my beloved Foster Beer (a habit acquired in my single parent no-rest world of the last 15 years.) Gone are the compelling temptations to sabotage myself! I feel free! Gone are the days when my past memories sabotage the love I have for the life I live in this amazing moment! Thank you, Stephanie!”

Molly M. (50 year-old writer)
“My life has changed dramatically! I no longer have any desire to eat the “bad” foods. I exercise two times a day because I now want to! I’ve lost 50 pounds now and life is so much better. I’ll never gain it back. Thank you so much!!

PAST LIFE REGRESSIONS CLIENTS SAY:

Joanna D., Los Angeles, California -January 2010

I work in the medical profession, so I was extremely skeptical about this kind of work.  But I decided to try a past life regression, because nothing else seemed to work.  I was desperate.  I'd had a fear of knives all my life, and it made even being in the kitchen a highly unpleasant experience. Yes, I knew it was insane, but that awareness didn't help me to get over it. I'm married to a doctor, and he suggested I try I past life regression, so I thought, "Why not?"  In the first session Stephanie explained what she was going to do, how it was going to work.  She said that it would feel as if I were making it all up, because that was the only way my brain had to show me the information to help me heal.  Fine, I thought.  Once we got under way, she led me back in time to a childhood experience, because she wanted me to see how my brain "remembered things." I began to cry at once because I "saw" my pony die. I hadn't thought of that in years, but Stephanie didn't let me stay with that grief for long before she led me down some stairs in my mind's eye, told me to see different doors, and to choose a door, and so I did.  The she said, "Look down at your feet."  "I'm on fire," I said. "I'm walking on coals." Stephanie stayed calm, and asked  me to go back to an earlier part of that life, and poof!  I was a four-year-old boy on a farm in New Hampshire, in the late 1800s or early 1900s.  My mother is standing in the kitchen, and I hug her legs, then I go outside to play, but I see a man with a knife, and I watch as he comes in and kills my mother. Terrified, I run away. The next scene I see, I'm 16, now working on a nearby farm, and I'm handed a huge knife and ordered to kill a cow.  But I love this cow!  I can't kill her, so I run away, confused and ashamed.  Then I felt myself transported to the trenches in World War I - I'm cold, terrified, filthy - we all are.  Everything's burned - it's surreal. I'm holding a rifle with a bayonet on it, and we're ordered to charge!  And I kill another soldier - a German boy - with this knife, this bayonet. Then I go forward in time, and I've survived.  I'm back on a farm, and I have a wife and a son. It's four in the morning, and my barn's on fire. I run out to save my animals, but they're terrified, and they won't leave the barn!  So I die in that fire, trying to save my animals. And I felt so relieved.  I knew I died a hero.  After that session, my fear of knifes evaporated.  Completely.

Now I felt so good that I wanted to another past life regression, because I wanted to see where my husband and I "connected." I also had a fear of dying that I wanted to release.  This time when I went "back in time," I saw myself as a young girl in ancient Greece, living very near the ocean, just south of Athens. I was out gathering mussels for dinner when a man with a beard comes and talks to me.  I have a clubbed foot, so I'm not married.  Stephanie asked me to look at his face.  "It's Bob!" That's my husband in this lifetime. He made me feel so beautiful, even though I wasn't perfect. Then I saw us out on the sea, fishing together, in love, happy to be together.  But a huge storm comes, and a wave washes us overboard.  But it felt okay, because as we go under the water, as we are swallowed up by the waves, we hold hands, and die together.  It was beautiful.  Then I went to another life, this time in London, the early 1700s, where I'm an orphan again 18, a girl.  I work as a seamstress. I'm filthy, because I only have one dress.  All the girls who live with me in this workhouse are filthy too.  But there's a kind doctor who cares about all of us, and he walks me home sometimes.  I like him very much.  Stephanie asked me to look at his face. "Oh, it's Bob!" Then I saw myself having a horrible wound, a huge cut from the shears, but I know I've done it to myself, so that the kind doctor would come.  And he does, and he wraps my arm, and he's kind to me.  He's the only person who has ever been kind to me. The next scene I see, I'm dying of TB, but Bob is there with me.  He touches my face and holds my hand as I die, and I know I won't be alone. Now I don't feel afraid of dying, because I've died so many times before.

Robert J, Beverly Hills, California
I’m a highly successful man of 62, and Stephanie was recommended to me because my partner of 30 years had died, and I became obsessed with a younger man, an actor, who was totally inappropriate, fairly uninteresting, but gorgeous. Over the years I have seen every high priced psychiatrist in Beverly Hills. (I’m sure I’ve paid for all of their children’s Harvard educations.) But it wasn’t until Stephanie explained obsessive compulsive disorder to me, how it related to my situation that I finally “got it.” She made me understand how my brain was just “badly programmed,” and gave me the tools and techniques to change. So now finally after all these years, I feel completely grounded in my own body. Although she uses hypnosis – it’s not just hypnosis. Any one can study hypnosis and hang out a shingle. Stephanie’s amazing insight and guidance is what makes her work different. Over the past five months, she has made me a series of different CDs to help me with specific problems. Her “Work Success” CD changed a toxic work situation from destructive to productive in just a few days. The reason I write this today, is because last night, we did a Past Life Regression (we’ve done a few – all helpful, BTW, and fascinating to me), but the powerful “soul integration” of last’s night’s work stands out in stark relief. Last night I connected with a colorful and challenging Indian (as in India) life where I felt myself as young man of immense physical power, and I connected with a past love, a daughter, in that life. Tears of joy flowed down my cheeks because the love was so true and intense. I could go on for pages over the experience, but the point Stephanie makes is: Disregard the specifics. What is the emotional truth of the experience? Focus on that.” Everything that I experienced last night was emotionally valid, powerful, and immensely healing. I know that this work will help me experience love again. I now feel a deep and sacred love for my own body, a love for others, and for the all that is… I also feel brave enough to go forward and look for real love again. Thank you, Stephanie.

From Karen F.,50, teacher, artist, Beverly Hills, California:
I’m a single woman, an artist and teacher and I decided to do a Past Life Regression because I was tired of answering the ever popular question: Why aren’t you married?
Stephanie first regressed me back to a life in 19th Century France, where I am a man, in my 40s, with a huge bustling family. I simply adore my family. I love my wife, I love all my children, I have six! I love playing with them outside – I think I was in the south of France. But I felt constantly torn, because all I really wanted to do was to paint what I wanted. But because of this huge household that I supported – even my wife’s mother – I am forced to do work I don’t love – I paint to make money. And I make lots of it, I’m very successful, but not proud of my success. When Stephanie led me to see my own death in that life, I wished that I had not been so torn, and that had enjoyed my life more. And I understood why in this life I choose not to marry or have children, so could focus on my art, which I have done. After the session, I felt a freedom.
In the second regression, which was emotionally intense, I experienced myself as privileged German Jewish girl listening to the radio with my parents. I’m a teenager, but once again, I’m an artist. We can’t believe what is happening to our well ordered world. I see myself running from exploding bombs, and then I wind up in a concentration camp, but I’m surrounded by lots of children, and I’m teaching then to draw in the dirt. I’m helping them to create beauty where they are. And that was the lesson, or feeling tone I came away with: Create beauty where ever you are and however you can, no matter what. I got a lot out of my session because it gave me a sense of loving what I do now even more!

Sara J., 27. Landscape designer, Sherman Oaks, California
I came to see Stephanie because I had a phobic reaction to doctors. I would walk into a dental office or doctor’s office and faint dead away. It was awful! And I needed to get dental work done, so I had no choice but to finally try to figure it all out. Stephanie regressed me back to two traumas in this lifetime: one where I was held down by huge people (I was only two-years-old), and my cut lip got stitched up by a big man wearing glasses and a white coat, with no anesthesia – I screamed in pain. The other, I was seven, and I’ve fallen off a bike, I’d broken my arm, and once again, I’m held down by a big man wearing glasses and a long white coat. But it wasn’t until we did a Past Life Regression, where I saw myself out in the middle of nowhere – on the American plains, maybe Kansas, mid-1800s, and I’m a little girl, maybe 8 years old, and my name was Sally. I’ve been kidnapped by a big man, a smelly man, who wears glasses and a dirty long white shirt. He takes me to a shack, out in the middle of a wheat field, and he rapes me, tortures me, and leaves for dead. Stephanie asked me to comfort Sally as she dies. And as I did that, I could feel my own fear of doctors, men with white coats and glasses, just lifting off me, evaporating. I’m very thankful to Stephanie, because now I have no trouble going to see doctors!

Robert S., 54, photographer, Los Angeles, California.
I was born to a prostitute, given away to abusive men who used me for a pincushion and punching bag, and was filled with rage over my childhood abuse.  Drugs didn't help, therapy seemed to make me more unhappy, so I was desperate when I found Stephanie.  She promised me nothing, but said she would try to help, if I was ready to release my own "story."  I agreed to try anything, even a Past Life Regression!  So Stephanie led me back to a life where I saw myself in a huge, cold castle. Might have been Scotland, England in the middle ages. I was a land owner, a lord – maybe a king. People kowtowed. I had serfs, and there was a young married couple who was in love, but I had my eye on the beautiful young wife, and I insisted on having her, and I did. I ruined both their lives, because of my own abuse of power, and as I saw what I did, I realized that I had chosen to live this life now, so that I could understand exactly what it feels like to be totally helpless and abused. And that that realization helped me to release all the blame and anger, and finally forgive everyone, myself included, release my past, and claim my life now.  I never dreamed I could be happy, but I wake up happy every day.  I'm free!

Linda Bennett, Producer, Writer - New York City, New York
I’d fallen in love with a totally inappropriate, but fabulous, younger man, Bobby. Besides being 24 years younger than I am, he lived on the other side of the country. I was completely miserable. A friend suggested I try a Past Life Regression and I thought, “What the hell – I’ll give anything a try.” After chatting for a while, Stephanie relaxed me, and led me down imaginary steps, and she kept on tapping on my forehead, saying “Go ten times deeper now, ten times deeper.” And even though I didn’t want to go ten times deeper, I was there! It was amazing. Then she asked, “Where are you?” And in my mind’s eye, I saw I was standing in a field of water. And, what’s funny in retrospect, I felt completely annoyed that she didn’t see it too. But I said, “I’m in water, I’m in a rice patty.” And Stephanie calmly said, “Great. You’re in a rice patty. Are you a male or female?” And once again, it felt as if she should be able to see me – that’s how real it all felt to me. “I’m a male.” Then she asked more questions, like how old are you? I was only twenty, and I was in China – I wasn’t sure of the era, but it might have been the 1400s, or maybe earlier. I lived on a prosperous plantation, and I was the only son of the manager of this plantation. Then she asked me to find Bobby, and I saw him – only he was a “she” – and she was dressed in beautiful red dress, and being carried on a litter – she was on her way to be married to landowner’s son next door. And as she passed me, we stared at each other, and our heart’s broke because we had been in love since we were children. We’d been raised together. The regression revealed a tragic story. Bobby, as the Chinese girl, got married that day, but she killed herself that night. Stephanie then led me to the “next pivotal experience,” and I experienced myself dying. I felt myself drowning, because I had slit my own throat, but I felt no pain, only utter annoyance at myself. Stephanie asked me to look at the consequences of that decision, and I was completely shocked. I had left my parents without any way of surviving, and caused them great pain. It was a completely selfish act, and that realization helped me understand many personal challenges in this present lifetime. We went on to do two more regressions, and each time I found Bobby, we had a “thwarted love.” Because of that, I have been able to move on with my life, and move on and embrace my love for Bobby. Even though I’m older than he is, I’ve never been more appreciated or loved by anyone in my life. It feels as if we found each other, finally! I moved to New York and now have a brand new life, with a man I truly love. I’ve never been happier.
