Carry-over lifetime affects client's ability to overcome personal barrier.
Another client is an incredible artist. Her work is sold throughout the U.S., mostly in the form of cards and stationary, coupled with magnets. Her goal is to expand her work in new directions, artistically as well as financially. Her big physical challenge has been adult acne, to the point that it keeps her locked up within the confines of her home and work shop, in essence a prisoner in her own world. The pictures that came up were amazing. There were two carry-over lifetimes that were influencing her world as she now knew it. One was a lifetime in plague-infested France, where she was sequestered to her village and quarantined due to the infestation of the deadly bacteria. She felt abandoned and isolated. She watched others die all around her. She became infected, the sores on her face scarred. She lived to tell the tale, however, she never "faced" the world the same as she was quite embarrassed by her horrible scars upon her face.
Another lifetime, once again in France, (I asked her if she spoke French in this life, and she replied with a laugh, it was the only foreign language she had learned) she was an actress of ill-repute, acting upon the smaller stages in the back alleys of Paris. It was not a glamorous life, but she loved the life of independence it afforded her. She used the make-ups and stage powders and paste of the time, that were unfortunately filled with lead and/or arsenic. She became poisoned by the toxicity, sores and scarring the results, in the end eventually taking their toll and her with it. Now in this lifetime she is faced with adult acne, a reflection of other existences where the scars went further than skin deep, into the emotional tissues of despair, isolation and rejection.
This life is an opportunity for her to clear out the old fears from the carry-overs, isolate the emotions rather than herself, understanding them for what they are, release them, reassess her goals and move out of her self imposed isolation, (in essence using the acne as an excuse to not move forward) clean up her diet, exercise more, breathe better, and face her future with clear insight, love and sense of purpose. That purpose is taking her art to larger venues to touch more peoples' lives with her insights, colors and inspirations so she can do what she really desires which is to work with the orphaned children of Africa. It's a very rewarding goal and an interesting and inspiring story of the tapestry we weave to expand our emotional selves to greater vistas.
