How I see the soul
I see the soul as an energetic vessel that allows our consciousness to have a physical experience. Within this vessel, contains all of our experiences in a physical form. Much like a corporation or company, you have layers or levels of supervisors, managers, & workers that make everything run. Instead of one part
Parts
Parts are different ages & stages of you in your current life. They can range anywhere from newborn to current day. They will typically "break a way" to hold the challenging or traumatic experience for you.
Past Lives
My work with past lives is very specific to things effecting your experience in this life and are found directly near this lifetime's part. I like to think of these as senior staff members. They contain wisdom and expertise but, do not formally lead.
Aspect
An aspect is a piece of your soul that supervises certain experiences across your lifetimes but has yet to reach mastery of the lesson or skill. I like to think of these as a department managers. They manage any & all things under their umbrella. For example, learning compassion in all of its forms (self, friends, family, local, national, & the world). It will take you several lifetimes to accomplish all areas of that lesson.​
Facets
Are very similar to aspects but, they HAVE attained a level of mastery. I often see these as "higher" selves on the "light" side or what I refer to as "shadow keepers" on the "dark" side. They serve as guides, guardians, or way showers for your journey.
More about Parts...
I use the word "entity" as a very general term covering all types of consciousness that we may encounter. There is no assumption of positive / negative, right / wrong, or role played. In the context below, it is referring to past lives, aspects, & facets collectively.
How are parts created?
When experiencing a traumatic event, the soul "leaves" the body and moves into a different location within your auric field. This is often referred to as a dissociative state. Depending on the severity or frequency of the experience(s), that part of your soul (referred to as parts or soul fracture) will stay in that space, not feeling safe enough to return.
Are my parts stuck?
In the same way that you may not find the exit in a room if its completely dark. Technically the exit is there but, you can't find it. When we are triggered in the current day, its as if a fire alarm goes off & an exit sign is finally seen. The part often feels "forced" out of the exit door and into the current day & situation. Unfortunately, they have no concept of the current day (your age, variances in the current situation versus the past, etcetera) and can feel very disorienting for them & you. They often return to their "dark room" afterward, feeling as if it is still unsafe. This is also typically when another entity will step in.
Akashic Records & Past Lives...
What are the Akashic Records
The Akashic Records is where the history of the Earth and surrounding are located. Each individual soul will have their own "Records Room" so to speak with all of a soul's history of reincarnation. Often times seen as books or journals with the storyline & a Record Keeper that acts as a librarian of sorts.
How do Past Lives affect us in this life?
When a soul decides to embody on Earth, they come with certain lesson plans, experiences, and/or healing they would like to accomplish. Part of this can be a past life. Comparing the Akashic Records to your soul's version of a library, the past life will be "checked out" for the period of your current embodiment. My work is understanding how that book is effecting this life and how to heal both past & current life.
Do you work in the Akashic Record?
No or at least very rarely. Typically the only time that I venture into the Akashic Records is to bring further context between connected past lives or relationships seen in multiple past lives. Even then, this information is often provided by your Record Keeper and only when it is the appropriate time to divulge the information.
Aspects & Facets...
How do they get here?
The original part that experienced the event is typically tucked away somewhere for safety, especially if they are children. When this happens, a beacon is sent out to the soul, think of it as a soul bat signal. Aspects and Facets come in as a way to maneuver the traumatic event & help the part in some way.
What are the roles of Aspects & Facets?
I try not to over categorize roles that they take on. Especially in cases of continual trauma, roles become very finite & specialized. Just as we are complex individuals living in a complex world, so are they and it will vary from person to person & situation to situation. I have found when working with them, they are often misunderstood &/or defensive because others have applied labels or assumptions that were considered disrespectful, over simplified, or insulting.
While not an extensive list by any means. The below are often the "heavy hitters" that bring people to seek my services:​
​
-
​Protector or Guardian: These will often come with fiercely sharp energy. Often seen with a weapon in hand of some sort, they prefer to attack before they are attacked or come in for retaliation. These can feel like bouts of anger or sharp tongue when upset.
-
Shadow Keeper: These tend to act as a gatekeeper to the underlying trauma & deeper parts holding that trauma. Often mis-understood as attachments that can simply be removed. However, attempts to do so typically fail or are not permanent and can come they are more aggressive. Their role is to be as intimidating, scary, & uncomfortable as possible so that you avoid the area until you can stand up to them. I like to compare it to the big boss as the end of a video game.
-
Preventative Instigators: These tend to represent your "negative self talk" that often mimic the previous emotional or verbal abuse you've experienced. They see it as a way to either prepare you for the inevitable or to lower your confidence enough that you don't put yourself in that situation.
If they have part or full mastery, why can they be problematic?
While these entities have attained a level of mastery, it is not necessarily far reaching or appropriate outside of the context of the original traumatic event that had them step forward. Much like a part, they do not have the context of current day and forced forward in the same jarring way.
For Example:
You may have experienced physical abuse while growing up. When you were at an age that you could stand up for yourself, a warrior may have been called in as a way to defend yourself. As time passes, they get pulled forward anytime there is a conflict or disagreement. Potentially useful with a physical threat but, inappropriate lets say in a professional environment or within trusted relationships. They have no way to decipher the difference because they lack all context to current day.
How Do You Work With Them?
I have a trauma informed approach not only with you but also parts, past lives, aspects, and facets. While this may take a few sessions in order to see the benefit, it creates a strong foundation of trust for future healing work.
1
Slow Approach
I will not force them to step forward or intrusively seek them out, pressure them for information, or push beyond the boundaries they set. Many have a defensive or fearful stance, pushing them too soon often leads to mistrust, especially in the first few sessions.
2
Meet Them Where They Are
My specialty as a psychic medium is to be able to meet them where they are in your field, as opposed to requiring them to step forward & take over. Forcing them to step forward is often painful & distressing.
3
Active Listening
I do not approach them with the idea that they need to be "fixed" or "changed" but rather curiosity about how they perceive their role & why they are there. Most often, they sincerely care about the person & truly feel justified in their role. My job isn't to boot them out but help them understand how things have changed, offer healing, or help them find a new role.
4
Mediate & Translate
Most people that seek my services do so because one of the entities is causing issues in their current life. My role can often be to help you & them understand the full context of the situation and establish a bridge of communication between the two. You need them to change in according with what's happening in the current day & they need help out of the cycle they are in.
5
Energy Healing
I am a Master Reiki practitioner, with more than one line of Reiki, as well as other healing modalities. I am able to offer you energy healing to remove blockages for yourself but also to your parts where they reside in your field. Much like the communication, it helps ease the pressure to step forward before they are ready. This can also be helpful to ease some of the anxiety surrounding reconnection.
6
Homework
Depending on where you are at on your healing journey, I may ask you to do activities at home in between sessions. This may not happen right away as you and your parts may need to "let the dust settle" before moving forward. Most things done at home are a way to either foster the relationship between you two, help you to process some of the things coming up, or are new ways to navigate situations & regulate your nervous system (deep breathing, tapping, creative activities, etc).
What are the benefits?
Because my approach is spiritual in nature, some parts/lives/aspects/facets are more comfortable with me than traditional methods or approaches.
My work is complimentary to traditional mental health services. I often have clients that are supported by a mental health provider while also seeing me.
As a psychic medium, I can find parts/facets/aspects that a traditional mental health provider may not be able to.
Whether you chose myself, a mental health professional, or both, the end goal is for you to feel more balanced & whole.
