YOUR MIND AS
YOUR DOCTOR
An Interview with Internationally-Known Healer Sharon Forrest

that are hidden in the subconscious and trace
them back into their origin in childhood, or even before into
the period of gestation in the mother's womb and then we trace
it also into parents' and grandparents' childhood."
She cites the case of Carl a man in his fifties
that was traced back to the womb. "It was an interesting
experience for me," says Forrest, "I knew that the emotional
state of the mother greatly influences the embryo but I didn't
realize that a child was forming
a belief system and absorbing that much data at conception."
Carl experienced a fetal memory, hearing his father, a traveling
salesman, call his mother names, accusing her of infidelity and
being pregnant with someone else's child. He felt the
frustration
of trying to scream out, "Daddy, Daddy, I'm yours. Daddy, please
listen, I'm yours!" During lunch break from the workshop in a
western state Joe called his mother in Ireland to ask her if it
were true. She gasped and asked "How did you find out?" (fifty
five years later!)
"'Know the Truth and the truth will set you
free.' Once people get into what's there, trace it back and then
release it at a core level, it's gone," says Forrest. "You can
have ten people experience the exact same situation, and each of
them will act or react differently according to what's in their
subconscious mind and what their trigger points are. Change your
perception and you've changed your reality. Change your
perception and you've changed your whole life."
A popular therapeutic method involves exposing
and confronting the parents, particularly in cases of physical
and sexual abuse. "I think it can be absolutely devastating for
a whole family," says Forrest. "It can cause more harm than
good. I don't think it's really necessary. I believe you can do
it in other more gentle and effective ways." Forrest's method
takes the client to the most recent event, gets them to
understand and heal that, and then works back into their
childhood and then into the childhood of the abuser to
understand where the abuser was coming from. What happened that
contributed to someone harming another person? "After being in
prison 75% abuse again. I prefer to contact the abuser and see
is they are willing to do therapy and work on the issue. Most
are.
"Over the years I've found that no matter what
anybody ever did, at the precise moment they did it, in some
way, they felt it was right, justified and called for. It may be
two seconds, two minutes, two weeks or two years later that they
feel guilty, but anything they did, at that precise moment,
somehow from their perception, they justified it. Everything is
done through fear or love, sometimes it's warped love. Anything
that is committed is of those two things, even anger. Behind
anger is always a fear of something or expectations not being
met. So when we can trace an emotion back to the core issues,
then you can reprogram it and eliminate the original issue." |
