Hi Jen, I get the sense your experience also has roots that go even further back - karmic ones - perhaps around intervention. It's fascinating how karma impacts people physically. One of the participants on the course had lost their sense of smell and taste several weeks back, and was clearly very concerned they'd gone for good. But of course it's all about becoming awesomely okay with these things by fully honouring them (as you have). For him, it caused a sense of isolation from the group, which was clearly karmic. But I've helped him regress into that feeling, which is progressively releasing the karma and now his senses are returning - it's wonderful! Synchronistically today, I take the group deeply into past life karma. I'll be taking them on an astral journey, beginning where they came from, and journeying into the intervention. We'll be seeing how humanity's DNA has been affected - feeling into that, working with the soul's resistances and retractions from it. Softening in and then clearing. In the new 5GATEWAYS book, I offer a new 9 step approach for dealing with karma. In the meantime, for everyone reading, here's an insight into the Openhand approach to karma...
