In our latest interview, past life therapist and award-winning author Wendy Gillissen shares her journey into regression therapy and the world of energetic healing. She also discusses the powerful benefits of past life regression and her captivating experiences as an author exploring reincarnation through her novels. MysticMag has the pleasure.
What were your professional beginnings like and how did you get into this line of work?
As a child of six, I was already fascinated by the idea of past lives and reincarnation. Any stories about past lives stirred up my curiosity but also my certainty of having lived before. Every book I read about it, for instance, one by Thorwald Dethlefsen with true accounts of past life regressions, confirmed my knowing that the human experience does not limit itself to only one life. We are multidimensional beings with an eternal soul and live many lifetimes to learn and grow to become fully-fledged human beings and conscious co-creators.
By the age of 19, I knew I wanted to be a past life therapist. I studied Clinical Psychology first to get a solid foundation as a therapist.
What benefits does regression therapy offer?
Regression therapy helps people access and heal trauma that is not reached by other therapies that are limited to this life only. This is because to heal a trauma, one needs to connect with it consciously. Traumas that have their roots in very early childhood, the womb, at birth, or in past lives can have an impact on us for our entire life and many lives after until they are accessed, acknowledged, and healed with conscious intent.
The other benefit of regression is that many people expand their vision of themselves through it. We come to see ourselves as emanations of an eternal soul that is connected to Source, or God, or The Universe, rather than a limited persona that will end at the death of the body, our temporary vehicle. People who have done regression sessions often lose their fear of death. All of which is very freeing and makes our stay on Earth a much more happy and meaningful experience!
What can you tell me about your work related to releasing energetic attachments?
Working with releasing energetic attachments is one of the aspects of past life therapy that I have specialized in. Those attachments could be entities of any kind, like deceased people who are unaware of the fact that they have passed on. Or entities that enjoy having some influence over others, for example. They could be energetic loads we have taken on from other people, like our ex-partners, parents, or other family members. Or they could be parasitic beings that attach themselves to people deliberately to ‘’get a free ride’’ or live off lower vibration emotions like fear and anger.
One of the things that is most important for entity and energy release, is to find the point of attachment. This is because simply removing an entity or energetic parasite will not work in the long run. The point where we subconsciously let them in is often a part of us that was traumatised and in shock, lonely, or confused, and had its own reasons for allowing that energy in. It needs healing so we are able to free ourselves from that entity or energy permanently. When we heal ourselves that way, we empower ourselves and stand tall so no other being can invade our energetic space.
You are also an accomplished author. What books have you written and what are they about?
I began writing after visiting a Greek island where I remember many past lives. I was so inspired by that experience that once I began writing, the words and dialogue just sprang from my hands.
As a first-time author, I had no idea that this was unusual: I did not have to think up a storyline, characters, or dialogue: the characters just walked into the story by themselves! All I had to do was allow the inspiration to flow and record the story as it presented itself. I write as inspiration flows, so like the reader, I have no idea what is coming next. It is a very satisfying way to write as I am continually surprised by every next turn in the story. Like the reader, I never know beforehand how a chapter or book in the series is going to end.
So, it was only after the first book was published, that I realized I a actually writing my own past lives. ‘Curse of the Tahiéra’ is the first in the series. It won three awards for independent authors in the US. It is a spiritual adventure story about the power of love, compassion, and forgiveness. The tale is about Rom, a young man shunned for his Tzanatzi ancestry, who crosses paths with Yldich, an Einache Shaman. Together they embark on a journey that will change their lives and that of their people forever. This is because Yldich believes that Rom can free the Einache people from a curse that has been brewing for five hundred years. A dark force is already rising in the North, while in the South power-hungry nobles will stop at nothing to get what they want. Yet Rom has no clue who he really is and will have to grow up fast if he is to fulfill Yldich’s prophecy.
Together with Eald, a wilful little Einache boy Rom and Yldich travel north through Gardeth Forest, where the veil between this world and the underworld grows thinner each day, and the army of the Southern King is closing in. Embattled on all sides, but with the loving guidance of Yldich and his spirited daughter Maetis, Rom must face his own past and that of his people to heal the wounds inflicted by centuries of persecution and hatred. However, sometimes uncovering buried secrets comes at a price. The question is: will Rom be able to accept his true self and regain his power in time for the final battle?
‘Curse of the Tahiéra’ can be read as a standalone book. The sequel, ‘The Search for Tzanáta’ continues the story. At the moment I am working on the third book in the series, ‘The Lost Lands’ which will probably be followed by a fourth, and a fifth, because the story writes itself and so far, it does not seem to want to end.
