One of my best friends is a young lady named Laura Bogen, who holds past life regression groups close to where I live. One of the first classes of hers that I attended took me to a space where I got to “meet” my great-grandmother. Laura lightly put the group “under” and I journeyed to this BEAUTIFUL, Heaven-like green field. The sky was blue and the Sun was shining perfectly. The grass was green and lush. I stood in the field, soaking up the beauty around me and out from some surrounding trees came this tiny, dark-skinned lady. Her skin was a rich dark brown, she had dark hair in a long braid that ran down her back. Her eyes were tiny and beady and she had a million wrinkles all across her face. She meekly walked up to me, holding something in her hands. Here eyes EXUDED love for me. I was immediately overcome with the strong affection she was emanating and though I never met her in this life, my soul knew her soul. With a grin that spanned the width of her face she opened her hand to expose a simple, pewter box. I took the box in my hands and opened it. The box seemed to be three inches by three inches, by three inches. In it was a pure gold computer chip- looking device, but when I took it out to examine it, it read “strength.”

I looked up at her quizzically, wondering what this was for. She removed the chip from the box and slid it into my heart space. As if my heart were computer hardware. When she did this a strange “rush” of energy surged through and around me. She kept her hand over my heart, patted my chest, still holding her wide, all-knowing grin and said, “You’ll need this soon.” I said “Abuelita, I don’t want things to be hard.” To which she replied, “Mija, the best things in life are.” I placed my hand over her hand, accepting her gift and nodded. We looked into each other’s eyes for a few long moments and she told me I could channel her strength whenever I wanted. That I’m never without her.
It was a very powerful experience.
After the class I went home and called my mom to ask questions about my great-grandmother. I’d never met her, but I’ve “seen” her before. After my son was born I had severe post-partum depression. My great-grandmother would appear to me all the time then and when I told my mom about her, she told her dad, who agreed by my description it was his mother. Her name was Libertida, which translates in English to Liberty- freedom. At that time I was married and my then husband liked to be in control of everything. We’d been having some problems and I was considering divorcing him, so my great-grandmother’s gift and timing were perfect. Not too much longer after this incident I did feel strong enough to move forward with the divorce.
This taught me two things:1. That this work we do on the astral plane is real. Changes you make in your dreams, meditaions, etc. do affect your physical life.2. we are truly never alone. Not only is God always with us, as are our angels, but our ancestors and heirs really do walk beside us. When we go through huge life changes they hold us through them. And give us the tools we need, if we choose to accept them.
In learning more of my great-grandmother I came to find that she had five husbands. She was widowed many times. My mom tells me she was a small, spit-fire of a woman. When I was 26 my Papi showed me a picture of her and it was the exact same little old lady I’d seen all over my house, looking after me and her great-great-grandson during my post-pardum depression.
I would completely say that after this I have grown much stronger in myself. In standing up for myself and holding my ground when I believe I am wholly in the right. Libertida’s gift has definetely been something I’ve used since this powerful meeting.
Though in times you may feel alone, be calm, you are never, ever alone. All that you need will be given to you. In fact… you already have everything you need to do the next great thing in your life. It’s been with you before you were born. You need only come to realize this.
