I would describe it as healing the wounds, the fears, the habits, patterns, beliefs and choices and decisions you've made in the dark ages that keep you stuck and fearful as a soul and especially in this life.
Throughout my own healing journey, I began supporting others using this powerful modality. I have personally experienced the debilitating effects of storing negative emotions. If left long enough they move from pain to chronic pain then into chronic illness.
I read a client who was struggling with trusting her healing and psychic abilities. She wanted to be in service, she had been studying for years and she "knew" it was her path, but fear stood in the way.
No, though it enhances the power of the work. Intention is one of the critical pieces to working within the Records. A Psychic accessing the Records to receive information would be unique to that skill, further enhancing a session.

I just found that in my readings, I was shown past lives, and past life decisions, and past life relationships that were getting in the way of my clients moving forward in this life.
