Hello powerful weaver,
I talk a lot about the power of choice in my work.
A single choice can significantly alter our reality and shift us into a whole new timeline INSTANTLY!
Choice is directly connected to our free will and ability to move from fate to destiny. Therefore, it is one of the most IMPORTANT aspects of being in our creative power as Divine beings living a human experience.
Only, most humans are NOT operating from a place of true sovereign will in their lives, assuming the role of victim instead as they cycle through the same patterns of stuckness and turmoil, not knowing how to get off the wheel of karma and spin it in the direction of their desires.
Awareness is the key here. We need to practice SEEING and turning on our oracular sight to truly witness the cause and effects of the choices we make in order to create change. And this first requires us to get comfortable in the mystery, seeing what is hidden in the dark.
There is this Carl Jung quote I love that reflects this:
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate."
When you are operating from a place of unconscious choice, you are at the whim of life. But when you are conscious and empowered in each and every choice you make (from the thoughts you are choosing to think and the people you are choosing to spend time with, to what to eat for breakfast and how to spend your day), choosing in alignment with your soul, you step into being the mother creator of the life you are here to nurture.
This is why I LOVE working with memory and story as medicine because when we can see the cause and effects of choices made before, we can choose more consciously in the present to weave a future in alignment with our highest timeline—written by our authentic soul essence!
It's like those Choose Your Own Adventure books from the 80s and 90s. When you make a series of choices in the story that leads the protagonist to an unfortunate outcome, you can simply flip back to the beginning and choose a different path until you get the happily ever after story you hoped for.
This is what we are doing in soul regression work, only our soul is the protagonist, our soul's records carry the choice options, and we are actively activating dormant expressions of self to align with higher timelines available to us in this life.
I want to share another profound, deep, and empowering transformation from a recent past life regression journey with a client who gave me permission to share her story with you.
I sat with a client back in August who felt stuck in many areas of her life. She had a lot of exciting new passions, dreams, desires, career goals, and visions awakening within her, but her waking reality was quite stagnant, restrictive, and heavy. She was with a partner who was not who she truly desired as a match for her soul, lived in a house that didn't feel safe or like her own, and struggled financially as she navigated between her old, secure career (and entire life!) and new feminine gifts coming online (aka, her MAGIC!)
She was seeking greater clarity more than anything, but also significant healing to her body, which was suffering from chronic pain/inflammation, dis-ease, and brain fog. The idea of choice was something that plagued her, often leading her to fall into old patterns of stagnation and stuckness rather than create the movement and expansion her soul was guiding her into.
When we don't choose our expansion, contraction grips us!
So we were really going into the work to get to the bottom of what was stopping her from being an empowered choice-maker in all areas of her life, clearing away any limitations and stuckness that needed to go so she could fully step into all these beautiful dreams and the soft, beautiful, true, expansive higher timeline being offered to her from her soul!
A couple of days before our journey, she made a seemingly small choice she didn't desire to make that resulted in a significant consequence, immediately throwing her back out. Her body was desperately trying to get her to listen to the strong needs to support herself within (our back represents our support system, safety, and the past), but she was putting the needs and desires of others before her own.
On the evening of our session, she could barely walk or stand up straight and was in so much pain. Though there was a lot of resistance and fear/pain present in her body as she was being faced with a choice to go deep within the mystery of her soul and choose herself, we were both suited up and ready for the journey ahead. Life gave us exactly what we needed to work with, and I knew what would come next would be big.
As we dropped in, we navigated two lifetimes. One of the lives we journeyed to was a life as a young, very poor woman in Central America who joyfully worked as a seamstress and lived in a dirt-floored shack. The journey began so vibrant, beautiful, blissful, and fun! The colors, the plants, the food…everything was so LIFE-GIVING! My client even said, as she was describing her bright green dress (the color of new life and healing), “I feel so alive!” This was a reflection of a core soul value of beauty that she carries.
Two significant scenes from this lifetime painted the portrait of healing we were seeking. The first scene was when her grandmother was dying. This was so significant to me because the grandmother serves as a symbol of the mature feminine and divine weaver. Grandmothers are deeply connected to the medicine of spiders and weaving that I base my work around, and it was my own grandmother's death that initiated me onto this path.
My client described the sadness and fear that she was experiencing holding her grandmother's hand as she was dying, a deep pain of being left alone, severed from her mother-source in that life. Her grandmother's last words to her were a warning to be strong. She also spoke of a greasy-haired man in the kitchen, who lived in the house but wasn't family and was looking at her disapproving. She was terrified and felt she could never go into the kitchen. This is also significant because the kitchen is primarily where a grandmother would center herself in a home, as the kitchen represents the hearth and center of nourishment. The kitchen is the creative hub, connected to The Mother! So not being able to get into the kitchen meant not being able to nourish herself. More on that in a minute.
Now, we have two primary characters in this story aside from our protagonist. The wise, creative, mature feminine GrandMother and the disapproving, slimy patriarch, also known as the life-weaving, protective feminine expression that has been devalued within our greater collective consciousness, and the expression of masculine that actively polarizes the feminine, taking over the domain of our centers of creativity and nourishment while the younger feminine consciousness goes hungry and fearful.
The next scene we explored was her wedding day. The scene started as she was picking flowers and arranging a beautiful bouquet, each flower so intentional and carefully CHOSEN on purpose. My client described each flower and how she was arranging them with such detail as we marinated in this moment together, telling me “I am very confident, I know what I am doing.” This is important! When she was alone and grounded in her individual creative magic and attuned to the beauty of life, empowered, confident, intentional choice flowed from her with ease. Flowers were a part of that in her present life as well, a sweet and gentle reminder for my client that flowers are medicine for her in aligning with her true essence and creative power.
But as she turned to face the wedding, she described people all around, her mother next to her, and the “boy” waiting for her at the end of the aisle as “not very smart, very bland, and just not interesting.” He was a reflection of the young or immature masculine, that she didn't want to help mature/raise, just like her current life boyfriend. It was clear she didn't want to marry him, but it was a marriage arranged by the families, and so she felt an obligation to go through with it.
As she was about to walk down the aisle, frozen in fear, she fell back and hit her head hard. She described it as an epileptic episode, which I found interesting as epilepsy has energetic ties to rejecting life (choice). The way my client described this fall made it seem like it was actually intentional! She even described the feeling of being happy lying there on the floor injured, because it meant she didn't have to make a choice! Because of the injury, she couldn't go through with the wedding. Her brain quite literally wouldn't let her, just like she often experiences in her present life.
Because of this display, she was kicked out of the village, resulting in a great estrangement between her and her family, and a life of isolation. I understood at this moment that the storyline stuck in my client was the belief that it is easier to inflict pain on the self and sacrifice comfort and safety in the body rather than let people down by choosing what she truly desired, especially if it meant she would end up alone. A fear of abandonment, imprinted by a mother wound of losing her grandmother (protection, guidance, and source of nourishment), weighed heavy in her.
We all want to belong, but we unconsciously make choices based on what we think we need to do to belong, not realizing that it is actually our soul-aligned choices that will guide us home to all the love, abundance, and support we could ever dream of. This is how we find true belonging.
The last scene we always visit in any lifetime we are exploring is the last day of life. On her final day in this life, she was very old, very alone, and extremely neglected. She described herself in this scene as worn down, shaking, hungry, and dirty. She went on to share how she couldn't stand anymore because she had big open sores that appeared as holes in her feet. This was significant as the feet represent our connection to this Earth reality, carrying us forward into what we choose. In her present life, my client not only felt very stuck and like she couldn't move forward, and her back gave out so she actually couldn't stand anymore leading up to our session, but she has also been healing from Lyme disease, which energetically has roots in boundaries and CHOICE! I asked her how she got to this point of intense neglect, and she replied that was “forgotten."
Now, there is SO much more to our four-hour session that I can't get into now, including other lifetimes we explored that weaved in even more story medicine and wisdom that needed to be remembered, reflecting patterns and wounds she was ready to reweave in her present. But everything in this lifetime I just shared with you perfectly reflected the present experience of life my client was navigating.
She lacked that mature, wise feminine guidance in her life (that can be accessed within! The profoundly wise, mature, creative, sovereign nurturer within that protects and guides us HOME to true love and belonging!). The home that she lived in was tied to her ex-husband who not only was disapproving like the man in the kitchen (who showed up in other scenes and in other lifetimes as a key player) but played a significant role in pivoting her away from operating from a place of free will, sovereign choice, and self-security at a young age.
Her family also didn't support her in making sovereign choices—her mother especially wanted to make choices for her—BUT, neither did she, as she would fall into patterns of self-inflicted suffering and pain rather than choose her desires with the clarity and strength she is fully capable of. She quite literally unconsciously created brain fog as an identity to disconnect her from making clear choices out of a deeply imprinted fear of how others may respond.
And now, she found herself in a committed relationship with a man who was just not on her level, that interesting, or going in the direction she desired her life to go in. And every time she chose him and his desires/needs, instead of breaking up with him or choosing her own first, her body would have an extreme flare of dis-ease, immobilizing her from moving forward in the direction of her visions.
When we got into the soul channeling/healing portion of the session, we brought forward more clarity around the choices her soul was ready to make and what her soul needed most to align with her core values and gifts. Most notably, due to the present circumstances, we also brought forward profound healing to the body. The portion of my regression sessions where we facilitate soul healing through the body is a highlight for me to witness and hold space for. It's like an energy healing session only much deeper, quicker, and more profound because the energy comes directly from the highest source of YOU, not the channel of another.
My client not only got up from her journey completely free from pain and dancing around joyously with utter shock on her face (truly miraculous, just the power of YOUR soul's light!) but also knew she had to break up with her boyfriend and went through with it a few weeks after our session. She began to see more clearly all the choices life presented to her and noticed when she would be faced with the choice of her happiness and needs, or another’s, learning to choose herself.
And she was tested A LOT after our session. This often happens after a quantum shift so we can exercise free will/choice to empower ourselves to root deeply into the new beliefs, energy, and potentials that have presented themselves to us. This part is SO important, for if we don't anchor the change through action, the energy won't fully land. You get a step-by-step CLEAR action plan in these sessions, but you still have to CHOOSE, putting one foot in front of the other as you walk the path of your destiny. This is how you gain strength, trust, and sovereignty.
I couldn't be more proud of all she is facing around the power of her choice as she deeply integrates and aligns with her soul's guiding light. Since working together she has eliminated many distractions, leading to the unblocking of the flow of her voice through writing that her brain fog would keep her from accessing. She also started listening to her needs and desires, carving out alone time to center in her power, setting better boundaries in relationships, and more fully claiming the visions for her career that were being presented. And it is these choices, one after another, that will continue to radically change her life.
I love this story of this lifetime because I too lived a version of this story! As I think SO many of us have. I too chose a partner who created dis-ease within me by denying my needs and desires. I said yes to things I really wanted to say no to because I was afraid of being abandoned, persecuted, kicked out, or not belonging, operating from a deeply ingrained human conditioning of sacrificing the choices we truly desire because we think it will bring us love and belonging. Women carry so many stories around this theme, and I have centered it in my work to help you remember who you are so you can choose HER. Because she deserves to be chosen.
It was my own practice of soul regression, self-resourcing, reclaiming the power of my choice, and awakening of memories and stories within me that snapped me out of a limiting reality and showed me the pathways I could take to continue to spin the sacrificial wheel of karma or break the cycle and step into The Mother as the weaver of my destiny, making choices that empowered ME, instead of making choices for others.
The liberating power of memory work is once we awaken those memories of the past living deep within our cellular structure and unconscious and let their stories out, we can simply release them, which not only frees up more space for the weaving of new memories, but also creates space for deeper soul memories to awaken within as you make room for your soul gifts, purpose, and magic to anchor, replacing with liberation where there once was restriction.
The shifts I have been witnessing with clients have been so miraculous and FUN to support. Client after client has responded to this work feeling instantly lighter, freer, and clearer in their direction and path forward toward what they desire to weave. As one of my clients says, “It's like a combination of lucid dreaming, therapy, and channeling.” and “I've never experienced a modality of healing that creates such quick resolve.”
I am so inspired and lit up by this work right now (and it is incredibly informing my book writing at this time! My deep, investigating mind is going wild with all the symbols and ancient histories and magic that come through this work) that I decided to offer $75 off Past Life Regression/Quantum Healing Hypnosis bookings for next week only. These are 3-4 hour deep, transformative sessions that can be held virtually ($475 with this offer) or in person ($600 with the offer) **Sessions can scheduled from mid-November through December. Just reply to this email letting me know you would like to book, and I will send you my calendar! Just a handful of spaces available.
More regression stories to come!

P.S. Read words directly from my client from this story below!
The Dream of a Renaissance…
"The dream of a Renaissance, of self-actualization, of finally freeing myself of these damn shackles. That’s the one Ashley is supporting me in realizing. I have never met someone quite like Ashley. Perhaps we are all dreaming of THAT person who can prod us on our way. To be there to witness our great “waking up”. To see clearly enough and to have the courage to tell us the hard truths. She embodies her words, heart, and soul and is fiercely devoted to her work.
My first regression dealt with a lot of violence and having her presence and guidance through it made me feel safe and courageous enough to go deeper into the memories. Re-living these lives felt disordered at first. I needed to contextualize and interpret what I saw before it could fall into place and be integrated into my life. It was so striking how Ashley could interpret the symbolism of each aspect of the story and also gently guide me into seeing the larger themes playing out in my life currently and how this has been a pattern for lifetimes. Being aware of our patterns is one thing, but going through the visceral experience of reliving the storylines that created these patterns to begin with, and having Ashley mirror back how this plays out in my life today is one of the greatest gifts I have ever received.
But what marks this experience as one of the most significant experiences in my life for me was the healing that happened towards the end of the session: Just before my session my back had seized up to the point that I couldn’t stand up straight. There was this extraordinary moment where Ashley spoke directly to my soul and simply asked: “would you heal the pain in her back?” The physical sensations in my body were involuntary and I felt myself awash with grief and light at the same time. When I got up to stand after the session I was braced for the pain in my back and the inability to stand up straight, but it never happened. Instead, I stood up straight and I moved my back like the pain had never been there.
The lives I relived during this session with Ashley continue to inform my choices today. I feel deeply blessed and forever grateful for this experience. If I could I would gift this to everyone I love. If you are on the fence about whether or not to jump in and do this work with Ashley, DO it!
This is such a beautiful story of healing and transformation, thank you for sharing!
