Recently, I was clearing a client I’ll call Jane. She has had a history of sexual issues. Although her first sexual relationship was a positive one she enjoyed, subsequent ones were not. One husband turned out to be a sex addict and gay, and the other was impotent. Not surprisingly, Jane also reported a history of sexual assaults and workplace harassments.

While we could look into her childhood to ferret out a history that would subsequently attract adult issues (the law of attraction), it intuitively occurred to me that she was born into this lifetime carrying this load. So I asked her if we could use Emotion Code to find past life answers. She agreed, and we uncovered some very surprising lifetimes.

For those of you who have experienced Emotion Code clearings, you know that I use the process of elimination on a list of 60 emotions. The answers revealed were:

• Taken for granted – 1700s. Was a slave, used as a breeder
• Helplessness -1600s. Was a choirboy in France
• Panic – 1400s – Forced marriage in Italy

Now, hearing about those past lives, while distasteful, wouldn’t be surprising or unusual. What followed was startling, as Jane returned the next week to reveal her discovery.

Jane frequently does an exercise of writing with her non-dominant hand when she wants information from her unconscious self. She sits quietly and clears her mind, then asks a question. Her non-dominant hand begins to tell her information otherwise buried. This time, it was shocking.

She reported to me that she was a young French choirboy in the 1700s. Her writing revealed that the choirmaster (CM) had jumped off the bell tower to his death, and the boy was happy about that. The CM had sodomized him often, saying that he (the CM) was full of the devil, and he was giving the devil to the boy. Then he would spank or beat the child to get the devil out. Now, (assuming that the boy’s voice was changing and he couldn’t be choirboy any longer), the boy was being expected to explain the repulsive procedure to an incoming choirboy, who must understand that it was part of the job, and that he would not be allowed to stay at the church if he didn’t comply and didn’t keep his mouth shut. (Perhaps the boy would eat better if housed at the church. Perhaps he was an orphan. Jane didn’t know.)

What a horrific imprint to carry through 300 years. It left some kind of icky residue to clear. Clearing the helplessness from Jane took longer than average and felt like sludge in my body.

In the1400s lifetime, Jane said that she was forced to marry a stranger, but she was in love with a childhood neighbor. She was especially panicked that she would have to copulate with him. This lifetime had a happier ending, as she noted that, later on, she learned to love him. Still the panic about sex had imprinted her.

While we didn’t go into the slavery lifetime (other than the overriding feeling of being taken for granted, I’m sure that we would have much to clear. Who can imagine the horror of having one’s children taken away and sold at a young age?

With the techniques we have available to us in the 21st century, it behooves us to work on not only this lifetime’s pain and suffering, but also to release programs from lifetimes past. For instance, what if Jane runs into the choirmaster in this lifetime or next? With clearing, she doesn’t have to be uncomfortable around him or fantasize about hurting him without having a clue why she dislikes him. It also frees her up sexually for a better relationship next time. Yahoo!

Indigenous elders often say that memory is in the blood and the bones, and is passed down through the generations.  Science is beginning to prove that it’s true through some fascinating work. Actually, it’s passed through the DNA, which is very close to the same thing. This explains why Emotion Code clearing work is so valuable. (More on that later.)

Amy Bombay, an Anishhinaabe from the Rainy River First Nation, is an assistant professor of psychiatry at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and she’s done research on why her parents’ generation suffers such high levels of anxiety and suicide attempts. Her focus was on those native Canadians separated from their parents and sent off to residential schools to learn another language and adopt the customs of the white people. While the grandparents were the ones who were forced to leave their families, her parents’ generation is expressing serious mental health issues. Sociologists know the same is true here on US shores with Native Americans.

Dr. Bombay said, “In terms of how that (experience and the environment) is transmitted generationally, we know that if those changes happen to be…in the egg or sperm, they have the potential to be transmitted across generations.”

Similar studies have been conducted with Holocaust survivors. Big collective and historical traumas are associated with a variety of ongoing negative psychological responses. The indication is that PTSD is passed from one generation to the next.

A headline in the Telegraph, a UK science publication, is entitled Phobias may be memories passed down in genes from ancestors. Researchers have found that it is possible for some information to be inherited biologically through chemical changes that occur in DNA.

New research at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta has shown that mice can pass on learned information about stressful experiences in subsequent generations. For this study, cherry blossoms scent was paired with an electric shock to mice. Then, they were allowed to mate. The babies, whom had never experienced the shocks were afraid when encountering the same smell. So did the following generation, proving ancestral experience carried forward. The DNA of these mice also manifested chemical changes.

According to reports in the Telegraph, Dr. Brian Dias, department of psychiatry at Emory University said, ““Such a phenomenon may contribute to the etiology and potential intergenerational transmission of risk for neuropsychiatric disorders such as phobias, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.”’

Researchers intend to do further work to understand how information comes to be stored in the DNA in animals and humans.

Discover Magazine, May 2013 issue had a fascinating article of genome research done by molecular biologist and geneticist Moshe Szyd and Michael Meaney, neurobiologist, both from McGill’s University in Montreal. The two men are highlighted in the article: Grandma’s Experiences Leave a Mark on Your Genes. Meany says, “Your ancestors’ lousy childhoods or excellent adventures might change your personality, bequeathing anxiety or resilience by altering the epigenetic expressions of genes in the brain.”

They go on to say that, in the future, people may be able to get drug treatments to change your brain chemistry and wipe out our ancestors’ memories of war, rape, childhood abandonment, etc. But it may accidentally wipe essential memories.

Eeks! Remember the days of lobotomies? I have a better idea. Try Emotion Code for a chemical-free, surgery-free way to release inherited traumas and fears.

Science is discovering what the practitioners and clients of Emotion Code have known for some time – traumatic experiences can be inherited from our parents, grandparents, and even further back. By the same token, we also realize that those individual memories can be identified and nullified by skillful use of Emotion Code clearings.
