In this article, I wanted to offer an example Evolutionary Manifesting reading for those who are interested in learning how to identify and overcome past life blocks through the Evolutionary Manifesting Course (which is currently on sale).

This is a reading I did for Anne-Marie, an Evolutionary Manifesting client and student.

Anne-Marie is someone I did Law of Assumption coaching with years ago (before I offered Evolutionary Manifesting readings, I offered straight LOA coaching where I was teaching clients the principles of conscious creation).

So, Anne-Marie had been using LOA techniques for a while by the time I did an Evolutionary Manifesting reading for her.

She is a life coach and intuitive, originally from the UK. She emigrated to Germany in her youth and lived and worked there for most of her adult life. After a few decades there, she decided she wanted to move back to England and establish a client base there, but she has felt a bit blocked in that intention (she had concerns and self-doubt around her ability to work in English, despite being a native speaker).

The reading delves into some possible reasons behind that.

You can listen to the reading here.

You will also find a transcript at the bottom of this article.

Two extra points on Anne-Marie’s Karmic Complex (to be read after listening to the reading/reading the transcript)

1. Anne-Marie told me after she received the reading that she believes the father from her previous life (as mentioned in the reading) was a sadistic and cruel school teacher she had at secondary school in the UK. I believe meeting this soul once again in this lifetime triggered the unfolding of her life path and the move to Germany that happened when she was young.

She also gave me the feedback that the reading hit home and that she had had 3 other lifetimes that she knows of, which revolved around emigration trauma, including a lifetime as a male priest in America. In that life, she was on her way to visit her brother in England, when she was killed on the Lusitania in 1915 (the ship that was torpedoed by the Germans). So, that was a lifetime where she tried and failed to get back to England. (The lifetime I told her about preceded this.)

She told me that there were other past life traumas, too, that she was aware of, connected to emigration.

2. Anne-Marie’s reading was one of the first ones I did, soon after Spirit gave me the Evolutionary Manifesting (EM) protocol and at that point, the protocol was still being developed. Therefore, it’s not as long or as comprehensive as the EM readings I do these days (which are around 30 pages long for a full EM reading and 10 pages for a mini reading.) Some points from the EM protocol are missing from it. Notably, I didn’t go into much detail on energy deficits (these days I explore that more fully since I believe it is very important for manifesting a desired outcome).

“Hi, Anne-Marie. This is Anna. This is your reading recording that I’m making of what I found in your Akashic record around your intention of working in English and moving back to England.

I’m going to start with the past life complex that I found when I asked about this intention. So there is a past life that took place in Europe. It was a male lifetime in Denmark, and I was told that the events that I’m going to tell you about took place in the 1620s. In that lifetime, you were an apprentice in a trade. I’m not quite sure what it was exactly, but you were an apprentice and your father was the person who was teaching you. So the person who knew all about this trade and was training you. And your father in that lifetime was really cruel and nasty and abused you psychologically. I was told that in that life you couldn’t do anything right according to him. And in that life you had anxiety, really bad anxiety, and it was because you were being abused by this person. And I saw you looking quite distressed.

I think everything came to a head. You were very distressed and you felt like, “I can’t do this anymore.” It was a sense of pressure building within you. “I can’t be around this person anymore. I need to leave. I’ve got to go.” And I think you were in a public place, I think it could have been like an inn or a tavern. And there was a man going round this place looking for men to work on a ship. And you signed up for this, don’t know exactly what you were doing, but you left quite quickly and you left without saying goodbye. You didn’t tell anyone where you were going or that you were going.

And then I think a few weeks into the journey, so you are on a ship with lots of other men, you died of a bacterial disease. And the thing about past life complexes, so this is a past life complex around emigrating. And the thing about these past life complexes is so they’re traumas or they’re trauma created by an event. And in the case of a severe past life complex, it’s usually that the death was very traumatic. And what happens is that when a death is traumatic, like in this situation, and I’ll give you a bit more details a bit later, but when a death is traumatic, an earthbound spirit can be created in that we don’t always cross over to the other side and go through a life review and integrate all the experiences of that life in the way that we would if we hadn’t had a traumatic death.

What happens is that the person’s subtle energy bodies after a traumatic death do tend to stay closer to the earth plane and get stuck and that’s what we call an earthbound spirit. And that’s what happened to you in this case because the death was so traumatic. So I’m just going to tell you what I saw. It was really horrendous. I think it might have been dysentery, some kind of gut inflammation in terms of what was happening on the ship because I think lots of people had it. There were men dying around you, you were dying, people throwing up their guts as they died, dead bodies being thrown overboard. It was just horrendous. And there was a sense of regret, like, “I took a chance.” So the Karmic Complex revolves around striking out on a bold journey, taking a chance and it not working out, and also leaving behind a harsh taskmaster.

But in that life you died in a bad psychological state. You felt not good enough because I think in that life your father said to you, he was constantly criticizing, “You can’t do anything right.” So you felt unworthy, you didn’t feel good enough. And it felt like at the moment of death, your father was proved right, all the abuse that you’d had throughout your life, you felt he was right about you. So in the moment of death, it’s like you conflated how your plans worked out with this idea that you had no self-worth or you were not good enough to make it work.

When you died, you felt like you were being punished for leaving. Like you’d done something wrong and you were being punished because of what happened.

I was also told that you had a teacher in secondary school in this lifetime who was the father from that life. And I don’t know whether this teacher was exactly the same kind of energy, but I feel that the events of this lifetime, where you emigrated, and if I remember rightly, you emigrated quite early on in your life when you were you in your twenties or your late teens or something like that? I don’t know whether I remembered that correctly. But there was something connected to this secondary school teacher and I feel like the Karmic Complex was triggered. Something was triggered in your youth. And I think that when you emigrated, it’s like you were replaying the old complex. And that’s not to say that you shouldn’t have gone to Germany, but it’s interesting because the dynamics of that previous life have something in common with this life.

And I think coming across that person from the previous life, that same soul, from the previous life triggered something in you, triggered an unfolding of your life path. And this time obviously you survived the journey and there’s a sense of, well, you survived the journey this time, now stay put, don’t go back. Why would you? Because it’s worked out okay. So in terms of there’s a few different ways that these past life complexes can affect us. I’m going to describe how this one is affecting you.

So I’ve mentioned that there is an earthbound spirit, so you didn’t get a life review at the end of that life because you died in a state of shock, trauma, dissociation. I think there was some confusion about whether… I don’t know if you were completely aware that you had died because you were so traumatized. There’s also some degree of soul loss, which is when we do leave some of our soul fragments close to the earth plane like that at the end of her life, it’s like we’re missing that part of us, it’s an unintegrated part of us because we didn’t go through the life review, we didn’t integrate the bad stuff, the good stuff, the things that we learned, the memories. So it’s like there’s a very small fragment of your soul which is still stuck in what the Buddhists call the bardo, so the plane of the afterlife that is closer to the earth plane.

So it’s like the past life self, the past life character from that life is stuck in this dark bubble in the bardo going over the same events, “I’m not good enough. I’m not going to make any gambles in this life. I’m not going to travel over water.” That’s what he told me. So it’s a very frightened past life self that hasn’t resolved its own unfinished business, and I think this has been interfering with your intention because I also measured how aligned are you with this particular intention?

I know you’ve been working on this for a while. We had a session a while back, didn’t we? And so you’ve been doing the techniques. You’re about 61% aligned energetically with this intention. So given the amount of time that you’ve been working on this intention, I would expect to see you a bit further along with that. And I think the reason that you’re not further along with it is because you’ve got this past life self that doesn’t want you to make any trips over water, doesn’t want you to make any gambles. The essence of what he resonates with in terms of negative energies he resonates with unworthiness and also self-doubt.

Just looking over my notes, see what else, if there’s anything else I need to tell you. Yeah, this past life character, he reminds me, I was shown an image, I don’t know if you’re familiar with the tarot. If you’re not, it’s not too important a detail, but I was shown the image for the tarot card, the 4 of pentacles and this past life self reminds me of the character on that card where he’s got his pentacle, which is his coin, something that is valuable to him and he’s holding onto it very tightly. So this is a past life self, as I said, that’s frightened and is holding on to what you have found in this lifetime to what you have had to you have got. And he doesn’t want you to make any changes.

In terms of the area of your energy body that’s being affected by this past life complex where it’s centered, because there’s usually a chakra that is most affected, this is your third eye chakra. Which is the area of the energy body where we strategize, plan, intuit, where we see ourselves and life clearly. So I was told that he interferes with your planning, with your strategizing and also with your intuition around this intention of working in English and moving back to England.

So I’m having some vague memories come back around what we talked about in our first session. I think that if I remember rightly, you felt some self-doubt around working in English. I think that’s correct. I think that’s everything that I wanted to tell you around that.

So with these past life complexes, ideally we do need to neutralize them in order to manifest what it is that we are wanting to manifest. Something else that I look into as part of this reading is I also have a look at, do you actually have the energy to neutralize the complex? Because it does take a fair amount of energy to neutralize a past life complex, to heal it, to clear it. And sometimes people don’t have enough energy. I measure this on a scale of one to a hundred, and spirit has told me that the best place to be to manifest an intention like yours, so an intention of changing your life, is about 80 out of 100. You’re currently at about 71 out of 100. I was told that you were at 65 when you started this whole process. So obviously you have built your energy field further through the techniques that you’ve done. Even though you are at 71 out of 100, spirit thinks that you have the energy to clear this Karmic Complex.

So I’m guessing that that must mean that your lifestyle at the moment isn’t particularly pressured, might be quite relaxed because usually you have to be a bit further along on that scale in order to tackle the Karmic Complex. But spirit says you’ve got the energy. So that’s good. In terms of how you can clear this, there’s a couple of suggestions that I’ve got and I’m also going to send you a link by email, the email that accompanies this reading. So there’s a couple of suggestions. I think my top one would be a form of past life regression called Deep Memory Process. And there’s a lady that I’ve worked with called Patricia Walsh, and I’ll send her website to you. The reason I recommend this form of past life regression over some of the other types of past life regression is because it’s a really cathartic form of past life regression for a couple of reasons.

It’s got a revision component to it where you re-script the events of the traumatic life, and then on top of that, it’s also got a psychodrama element to it where you are encouraged to physicalise what’s happening, why you’re being regressed. This can be helpful because we store these past life wounds, and this is a past life wound that’s stored in your energy body around your third eye chakra. And we store them in the etheric body, which is an overlay of the physical body. So they’re in the etheric body and they’re in the physical body. And the thing I like about Deep Memory Process is that it can trigger the dislodging of the complex from the physical body because of the psychodrama element where there’s movement incorporated in a way that some other types of past life regression don’t. So I usually recommend this type of past life regression to people because it is particularly powerful in that regard.

So that’s the first suggestion and, well, that’s one of the suggestions. An alternative would be to revise. I don’t know how easy this would be. If you’re going to go down the road of revising, you would want to take a look at your early life. So usually the first 27 years of your life or so while the brain is still developing, events and relationships that gave you beliefs that might align with what happened in that life. So obviously you had an abusive relationship with your father in that life. You couldn’t do anything right. You didn’t feel good enough. You were made to constantly doubt yourself. There was that sense of unworthiness, there was a sense of, “I can’t make good decisions. My father was proven correct that I’m an idiot because I died the very first time I struck out on my own and I took a chance like this and it ended in disaster.”

So the essence of the past life complex is self-doubt, it’s unworthiness, it’s that I’m not good enough. So if you were going to revise instead of doing a past life regression, you would want to take a really full and complete look at the first 20 to 30 years of your life and consider what are the relationships, what are the events that resonate with those themes, and then you’d need to revise them. Obviously that’s more of a DIY process. So I think it’s more work. Most people who get this reading tend to go for past life regression if there’s a past life complex that comes up. But revision is an alternative option. And if you wanted to go down that road, either you would… I mean, I don’t know how much therapy, if you’ve done therapy before. One of the ways that you could go into it would be to do therapy around those themes and see what comes up from past events and relationships.

I do offer revision support sessions for people who have this reading and we could talk about and explore what kind of events or relationships could be from earlier on in your life related to those themes, come up with what needs to be revised and what you want to revise it to. But as you can probably tell from what I’m saying, it is more work, a bit of a learning curve with revision, but as I said, a possibility.

Okay, so that was the past life complex that you brought into this life. In terms of the negative karmic patterns that you brought into this life. I do also measure, do you have high amounts, medium amounts, low amounts, in terms of negative karma that you brought through that’s holding you back? The amount that you brought through was low to medium. So I don’t really think there’s anything else apart from this holding you back. I don’t think you brought through masses of past life complexes and I think that part of your purpose in this life is to overcome this complex, to move beyond it, to integrate the past life self that is fearful and not be controlled unconsciously by what he fears.

And these past life complexes, they are unconscious. They are like the water that we’re swimming in. So we see the world through them. So sometimes they can be a bit of a blind spot. 

But yeah, I think it’s the main thing that has been holding you back. And I think that in terms of that scale of energy that I measure how far along you are on that scale, do you have enough energy to neutralize a Karmic Complex? Do you have enough energy to manifest what you want?

I think one of the reasons you’re not further along on that scale in spite of the work that you’ve done so far is because you’re losing energy to the past life. I mentioned that there is some degree of soul loss where there’s a small fragment of your soul that is still stuck in the bardo. And what happens when that occurs is that it’s a loss of vitality, it’s a loss of energy that belongs to you. And I think that what is happening in this situation is that part of you is still woven into the events of that past life. And so part of the reason why I think you’re not building your energy really quickly, or you haven’t been, is because there is a loss of energy. There’s a loss of vital life force towards that past life, towards self-doubting patterns, perhaps towards the patterns of unworthiness.

So it would be interesting to… I don’t know whether you have done this much or even if you’re going to resonate with this, but I think it could be interesting to really hone in on what is it that you’re thinking around this intention? What is it that you’re thinking? What is it that you’re feeling? Because spirit is telling me that or told me that there is a loss of energy to that past life. And I’m also wondering if there is a loss of energy towards the past in this life. That’s something else that came up when I asked about your energy field and why isn’t it bigger? Why are you not at 80 as opposed to 71, which is where you are at right now. Because ideally you would be a little bit further along with that based on how long you’ve been doing these techniques.

So I was told that focus on the past, not just the past life, but I think that there is a focus on the past in this life too. So it’d be interesting to monitor your thoughts in that regard. Are you thinking about past events? It’s usually negative past events. I’d be interested to hear what do you think that is about? Is there anything that you’re aware of that you are thinking about in a negative sense? 

And I’m also intrigued by the connection to the secondary school teacher to things that went on in your teenage years because that has got some connection to the past life complex as well. It was a replaying, I think, of what happened in that previous life. We do this with past complexes, we replay them, I think, partly because we are looking for them to end differently, we’re looking for resolution.

I mean, the essence of trauma is to try to find completion and do things differently next time. That’s why we repeat the same situation. So it doesn’t surprise me at all that you emigrated in this life. And as I said, it’s not that it was right or wrong or anything like that, it’s just that I think that this has been your life path because part of what you’re doing in this life is you’re here to overcome this. You’re here to overcome the fears of this past life self and help him to heal and complete his trauma. And I think when you do that, you’ll find it easier to move on to this next phase of your life where you work in English and you move back to England. The thing about the past life complex is that often we repeat these situations, we repeat the same scenarios because we’re looking for it to end differently this time.

And as I say, the interesting thing about this is that it did end differently. You had a journey over water, you went to Germany and you survived and everything was okay. You didn’t die of dysentery on the way. It didn’t end in disaster. So it has worked out okay and that’s exactly what past life selves want for us when these situations repeat. So in a way you have done things differently, but I think now that it’s all worked out, I think that’s where the past life self is like, “Now you want to go back and you want to take the chance of doing it all again.” 

It’s like present life Anne-Marie, that’s what she wants to do and this past life itself is like, “No, not on board with that. We’ve made things work here when it could have been a disaster like last time and now you want to take me on another journey. I’m not on board with that.” Because he said, “I’m not going to make any gambles. We’re not going to travel over water.”

So yeah, I find it interesting that he got what he wanted in this life. It turned out differently. I mean these past life selves, what they do is they try to protect us from the trauma that they went through. So, he was successful, it turned out differently and so he’s trying to protect you again now that you’ve got a different idea of what you want to do in terms of this intention.

Okay, so that’s the past life complex. One of the other things that I look at is I also look into downstream consequences of the past life complex because sometimes there can be energetic issues as a result of the past life complex. So the complex itself, it’s a trauma that sits in your etheric body, so that’s one thing. And then sometimes there can be secondary side effects that are energetic problems that are due to the complex.

I did find one in your energy field. I don’t think it’s a major thing. It’s a negative thought form. So just to explain what this is, we can create positive thought forms and they can take up residence in the auric field when we repeat positive affirmations, for example. So if you were to repeat positive affirmations within days or weeks, you could set up a positive thought form in your auric field. You’ve got a negative thought form in your auric field, which means that there’s something you’ve been repeating to yourself over time, probably unconscious and the essence of the negative thought form. And I was told that this has been with you for about 10 years, the essence of it is loss. So you can see how it resonates with the story of that past life self because he lost his life after taking a chance.

So I think that this negative thought form is also about loss after taking a chance. 

It’s a thought form that you took from the collective consciousness. So it was from something around you, something you heard, it might’ve been in the media, something around, I’m wondering whether it was a story of somebody taking a chance and it not working out, might even have been a story of someone moving overseas and it not working out. 

I don’t necessarily think that it’s going to be something that you remember because it doesn’t feel really impactful, nothing traumatic about it that would make you remember it or to imprint it on your memory. Just feels like it’s something that you came across in passing and it resonated with your own complex and yeah, it feels like “don’t take a chance, stay put”.

So in terms of clearing that negative thought form, I would probably do that after you clear the past life complex because I find it more effective if you clear it now before you clear the complex, I think often we can just set up new ones. So I think it’s better to do it after you clear the complex. I’ve got a book offered on my website called The Empath’s Toolkit, and there is a protocol in there for clearing negative thought forms.

Okay, what else do I have to tell you? Yes, so I talked about your energy field. We do have to have a lot of energy to be able to manifest a desired outcome. We need to have enough energy to neutralize a Karmic Complex. Your energy, you’re at 71 out of 100, so it’s a little bit borderline. You just have enough energy to neutralize a Karmic Complex. But something that I wanted to explain about doing that kind of work, if you choose to do a past life regression or if you choose to revise, it’s really depleting energetically to do that kind of work. So a couple of recommendations in that regard. I wouldn’t recommend doing more than one past life… I don’t think you’d need to do more than one past life regression, but I would just focus on this life, this past life that came up, and then I’ll go straight back to the techniques because the techniques build your energy field.

So focusing on positive energies and doing the techniques, that’s like amassing energy in your energy field and building it. Whereas the karma clearing work that’s depleting, it’s like spending the energy that you’ve amassed. So you can see that there is kind of a dance here that you have to do between amassing the energy through techniques, and obviously that’s what you’ve done so far and then spending it.

But once you’ve spent the energy that you’ve amassed, you must go back straight away… Well, ideally you’ll go back straight away to the techniques without any kind of delay because sometimes people can get… I mean by now that we go in the direction of the state that we’re already in. And when we do the karma clearing work, well, often what that does is that it brings the low vibrational energy of the Karmic Complex to the forefront of our experience. And because it’s low vibrational, one of the mistakes that people sometimes make is they go in that direction further, then maybe they do more healing work than they have the energy to do, or it just depletes them and they feel a bit low afterwards and they stay in that energy. So clearing the Karmic Complex, it’s like turning a big ship around because these are patterns that you’ve had for hundreds of years, you’ve been carrying them from one lifetime to the next.

It wouldn’t surprise me if you had had other stories around emigration, not just in this life and in the previous life, but I bet there’s other lifetimes too. So this is a story you’ve been carrying, so you are this big ship and the karma clearing work turns the ship around, but because it’s so depleting to do it, it’s so energetically costly, if you like, it’s like the ship comes to a stop and you need to go back to the techniques to get that ship moving in a different direction. So that’s the recommendation that I have around that. And then in terms of what you would do after you clear the Karmic Complex in terms of techniques, I think you would need to do techniques for quite a while. That was the advice that I was given. I was told 12 months of daily techniques for an hour to an hour and a half a day.

And there is another recommendation that spirit had around this as well. I think your energy might be a little bit low after you’ve cleared the Karmic Complex, or at least that was the idea that I was given from spirit. And I feel like it would be better for you to focus on techniques, for the first several months at least after you’ve cleared the complex, that are more about general positive energies. I don’t think you should focus on the desired outcome with great zeal and focus. I think you still will be at 61% aligned or you will be sort of 60 to 70% aligned. And I think that you’ll be still too far away from total alignment with that. I think that if you focus on the desired outcome of living in England and working in English, I think there might be the sense of creating more importance or a sense of, “I know I’m not there yet,” and so focusing on it’s like you might feel the gap between where you are and where you want to be. So you might actually unconsciously be focusing more on that gap than the actual desired outcome. Does that make sense?

So I actually feel that it would be beneficial for you to build your energy through, for example, guided meditations that are focusing on something positive. Don’t know whether you’ve heard of Dr. Joe Dispenza, I don’t know if we mentioned him in the previous session. I find that his meditations are really good for building the energy field. He’s got a series of meditations that are very much in alignment with the teachings of the law of assumption, where you’re focusing on positive energies during them. I’ll send you some links to his meditations. Some people find his meditations a bit weird because he speaks in this weird voice when he is on the meditations. So not everybody likes them, but I think general guided meditations that focus on positive energies could be beneficial.

Gratitude practices, remembering positive events from this lifetime and really focusing on those, especially if they were events around… Oh, this is the other thing that I looked into for you. I want to find out what is the essence? What are the energies that you need to focus on for the first several months? Because I talked more about focusing more generally on positive energies rather than the exact desired outcome. I was told worthiness and power are the antidotes to that past life complex. So I think that self-love work could be a good way to build your energy field because that’s about worthiness. I can send you some resources around that if you would like, focusing on power, feeling powerful, times in your life when you have been effective and you’ve achieved what you wanted to when you stood in your power as a person, as a woman, as a soul who’s having this human experience. So I think those two energies would be quite important to bring in to focus on after you clear the complex.

So yes, several months of focusing more generally on the positive energies. And then once you’ve started to build your energy field more, I think it would be fine to move over to the exact desired outcome that you want to bring about in the physical living in England and working in English. I think there will come a point at which that will feel more natural. I don’t think you need to really think hard about it like, “When do I move over to that?” I think you will know when it’s time to move from some of the more general techniques that focus on positive energies to the things like SATs, affirmations around things like, “I have a client base in England,” or whatever it is that I think we talked about affirmations last time and I’m sure you’ve come up with your own.But I think there will be a point at which it will feel more natural to focus on that.

Just looking over my notes and seeing if there’s anything else. I hope all of that makes sense. And as mentioned, feel free to send me a voice note back or an email back if you have any questions or if there’s things that you want to clarify or talk about further. Seeing if there’s anything else. I think that’s it.”
