Past-Life and Spirit Releasement
Linda Bennett (Tuesday, Sept. 1 meeting)
From Linda Bennett:
No type of therapy has all the answers. However,
following in the footsteps of pioneers in this field from Edgar Cayce to Dr.
Brian Weiss, I believe that regression therapy is the gateway to tremendous
healing opportunities. If time allows, we will also explore “Spirit
Attachments.”
Spirit Releasement is a therapy, not a rite. Unlike
exorcism, it comes from a position of compassion, not confrontation. Spirit
Releasement aims both to free the client and to assist the attached spirit to
continue its evolutionary journey.
Past Life Therapy and Soul Retrieval as established
therapies, are often usefully combined with Spirit Releasement Therapy. Regression therapy is the ability to go back
in time to a previous event and discover its current impact on our lives… going
back in time can be 5 minutes ago, 5 months ago, 5 years ago, 55 years ago, or
even 5 centuries ago.
This presentation will include:
Ž
Is it real?
Discussion of how, if we don’t remember our past lives, then they can’t
be real; yet we don’t remember our births, but we don’t doubt that… Does it
matter?
Ž
Where do these stories come from? Discussion of ways
to experience stories, including experiential exercises of story telling.
Ž
What to do with these stories.

President, Robert J. O’Connor
called the meeting to order at 7 PM. After
introducing himself and the other officers, he announced that Debbie Gent, CHt,
ASPH Secretary, will be unable to continue her service to ASPH in this role. He
reported that expansion of Debbie’s shamanic practice that will involve more
travel and possible relocation have required her to cut back on her current
responsibilities. Robert stated that her service was indeed a great gift to
ASPH and that she has done an outstanding job producing beautiful, well-written
newsletters. She also assisted in developing the initial restructuring of the
ASPH website, providing her insights and experiences. Robert expressed his
gratitude on behalf of all ASPH members for the time, energy and TLC that
Debbie provided during 2008 and 2009 as ASPH secretary.
Before continuing with members’
introductions, Robert proceeded to report on progress of website restructuring.
The plan is to:
Ž
Convert the website
to a software program that allows for interactive, user-friendly input from the
Secretary or other assigned members of the organization to download monthly
newsletters with working hyperlinks within the newsletter, and other current
information valuable to both site visitors and members.
Ž
Revise the Hypnotherapists’
Page by insuring equal and fair opportunity for all listings by adding a
250-word maximum paragraph beneath each hyperlinked listing (contact
information). Listings will be alphabetical and if a Hypnotherapist wishes to
limit their territory to a certain area of
Ž
Reinstate basic
organization documents (Constitution, By-Laws, Code of Ethics) on the Home Page,
with the addition of a fourth hyperlink for the Membership Package document,
downloadable to visitors and potential members.
Ž
Change the web
host company to one that is less expensive and that allows for free access to
traffic statistics and information.
Robert stated it is hoped
these revisions will be completed within the next 60 days or possibly sooner.
Each practicing member will be asked to submit their 250-word paragraph to the
webmaster or ASPH member in charge of web input.
He then asked for members to
introduce themselves. During this part of the meeting, members provided
suggestions for greater exposure and free advertising through initiation of
radio and TV programs and participation in health fairs. A mini-health fair
sponsored by ASPH was suggested. Robert said it is hoped that the treasury will
have the financial resources in the near future to sponsor such an event.
The evening’s presenter, Bill
Regner, BA, CCHt, led the group in a guided meditation that segued into the
main part of his presentation, “The Triune Mind: Belief Formation and
Transformation.”
Bill refers to himself as a
“reactive intuitive.” During his sessions, Bill avoids the use of “inductions”
and formal scripts. The process is one of responding to the client, “getting
out of the way and letting the client do the work.”
The therapeutic goal is to help
the client identify and transform currently held beliefs that are not working
or appear to be causing interference, i.e., conflict, stress, physical health
issues, etc.; and then assist them in transforming these beliefs to healthy,
productive ones.
By honoring the client’s current
unhealthy or unproductive beliefs rather than “trashing them,” Bill thus
creates a safe environment for client/therapist interaction. Without the use of
suggestive or directive hypnosis techniques, Bill then guides his clients
through the process of tapping into their own higher intelligence in order to
achieve the desired transformation.
Before actually conducting a
session with a new client, Bill invites them to a free group discussion in
which dispels their myths about hypnotherapy and creates a safe environment for
the transformative healing process to take place during the client’s future
session.
Robert pointed out afterward
that this approach to hypnotherapy is shamanic (as opposed to the “quick fix”
mechanistic approach). It was agreed that both can be effective, based on the
nature of presenting issues and the level of transformative work that the
client wishes to achieve.
Bill’s handout was an
excellent diagram of “The Triune Mind” that included the following statements
that serve as the foundation of his hypnotherapy practice: “The purpose of the
mind is to move us away form pain or move us towards pleasure”; and “Even the
most dysfunctional belief was originally formed and accepted with a positive
intention for us.”
At the conclusion of Bill’s presentation,
received with great enthusiasm and gratitude, Robert asked for new business, announcements and discussion from members. Since none was
forthcoming, a call for adjournment was recognized and accepted. The meeting
concluded at 8:45 PM.

From
Former ASPH Secretary, Debbie Gent, CHt
Thank you and Farewell - Just
a quick note to my family at ASPH to bid you ado. For many of us, we been
friends for a lot of years and some just a short time, but I have enjoyed and
appreciated the time we've spent together. But, the time has come for me to
move on to a new adventure. Years ago, Gary and I were given a vision to build
a retreat where we can bring people to discover their connections to “All That
Is” and explore their world through shamanic practices. Now is the time for us
to begin making this happen. We were drawn back to southern
I will miss you all and may
pop in on occasion when I am in town.
