WhorsewHOST: first i would like to welcome stephen today to our chat

StephenP: Thanks for having me!

MorriganHOST: a warm welcome to you Stephen

StephenP: Thank you. My pleasure.

WhorsewHOST: if you could, stephen, give us a brief intro into the work you do

StephenP: I use past life regression to help others find the root cause of problems and then release those problems. My main area is love lives. I'm also a Reiki Master teacer

WhorsewHOST: how did you get started in this field?

StephenP: I've been fascinated with metaphysics since I was very young and read everything I could find on the subjects. After my first regression at age 20 I was hooked!

WhorsewHOST: Do you have any insight as to why so many people find Letting go more difficult than remaining in a toxic relationship?

StephenP: Sometimes it's because they're afraid of being alone. They fear that if they leave the toxic person that they will not find anyone better. Also, past life guilt can cause someone to hang onto a toxic lover; the abused may have been the abuser in a past life. Or, the abused may subconsciously remember a past life with the abused where it was harmonious, so they hold on hoping the abuser will change.

WhorsewHOST: When a couple is involved in an unhappy or difficult relationship are there certain signs to watch for which could indicate whether they are involved in paying back negative karma or actually creating negative karma?

StephenP: If you are in a relationship where it seems you are stuck and have no choice but sacrifice yourself in some way, even if you don't want to, it may mean you are paying back negative karma. Your soul created the situation so your personality would be forced to go through the experience. We create negative love karma when we react out of fear (anger, jealousy, greed etc) instead of love.

WhorsewHOST: is there any way to make this process go faster

StephenP: FORGIVE! Forgive yourself and everyone involved. Finding the root cause through past life regression or meditation helps a lot too.

StephenP: Forgivness is essential to happiness

WhorsewHOST: so maybe forgive and love combined are the keys?

StephenP: YES

WhorsewHOST: Could you explain what you mean in your book about it being what you don't do that creates harmonious relationships?

StephenP: We tend to get in the way of our relationships. When we have no expectations, no conditions, and refrain from projecting and controlling, and instead love and accept each other unconditionally, our relationships are much more harmonious.

WhorsewHOST: so accepting each other as we are without trying to make another into what we desire is key

StephenP: Yes, but that's easier said then done, of course!

WhorsewHOST: How can the work you do on yourself change your partner?

StephenP: By working through your own relationship issues and whatever bothers you about your partner, you'll react differently to him or her, which will in turn change how he or she reacts to you. Accepting and forgiving him or her are important if you want to create more harmony between you.

WhorsewHOST: have you found that usually the issues we have with others are really our own issues

StephenP: Absolutely. We are all mirrors for each other. Some people, depending upon the dymamics/energy between the couple, are even more so for each other

WhorsewHOST: so when another triggers some emotions, is it our job to discover the root of that emotion and work on it?

lila: takes a magnifying mirror for us to see ourselves clearly sometimes... huh?

StephenP: Yes. We can ignore it, or we can face it.

WhorsewHOST: How can the subconscious mind overpower the conscious mind?

StephenP: Yes, other people are our mirrors

StephenP: Our subconscious mind is our ""control center."" Even if we consciously know that flying is relatively safe, if our subconscious mind has a fear of flying from past life experiences, you will be afraid of flying. Likewise, if you have hidden relationship blocks in your subconscious mind, you will experience conflict in that area of your life. If your subconscious mind thinks, based on past life experience, that all relationships end in pain and heartache, that's what your reality will present to you. You have the option of changing false beliefs through past life self-regression.

WhorsewHOST: so would you say that finding out what the subconscious mind is thinking will help us to better understand why our relationships are as they are

StephenP: Yes, WH. You can start by asking (over and over if necessary) why something affects you like it does. Eventually you'll discover the ROOT cause.

WhorsewHOST: When it comes to sexual orientation, could there be more than karmic issues that causes one to desire one sex over the other or to desire both sexes?
