Garden Goth

This 2.5 hour podcast episode is a "Between Lives Regression," a special type of Past Life Regression with Christina Wilke-Burbach PhD. A Between Lives Regression, focuses on your soul journey from before your birth and after your death to your life in the spirit world. It is a deep hypnotic regression to that special time a soul spends in the spirit world between incarnations. During this session, you journey to the spirit world where you experience yourself as an immortal soul, meet your guides, master teachers, loved ones, and enlightened beings who help you explore your soul lessons, soul contracts, soul gifts, life’s purpose, and other deep questions about your existence as an immortal soul. You are also given an opportunity to meet with your spirit guide(s) and soul group. Christina's technique uses deep relaxation, hypnosis, guided meditation, journeying, and creative visualization 

Christina has found that the following people tend to have the best results with Regressions:

• Individuals who have experience with meditation, guided meditation, guided imagery, and creative visualization
• Those who are creative, artistic, and imaginative
• Individuals in touch with their intuition and spirituality
• People who believe in reincarnation and past lives

PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE WHILE DRIVING!

To get the most out of this episode, the following is recommended: Quiet location where you will not be disturbed; use earphones; lay down on a bed or couch; comfortable clothes; blanket, pillow, and something to cover your eyes; watch your caffeine intake beforehand so you don’t have a hard time relaxing. Please also have a pen and paper on hand to journal your experience afterward. Soft music or a fan playing in the background can be helpful to create white noise. Essential oils or incense can also be helpful to have to help you relax.

Safe travels!

The belief in past lives, reincarnation, & the immortality of the soul can bring comfort to some people regarding death/dying.

This 110-minute podcast episode is a Past Life Regression with Christina Wilke-Burbach PhD. Christina's technique uses deep relaxation, hypnosis, guided meditation, journeying, and creative visualization to undercover memories from your past lives and incarnations. It is a highly internal process in which you visit a past life firsthand and experience it through your psychic/spiritual/Clair senses of sight, sensing, hearing, feeling, and knowing. Consciously remembered or not, your unconscious mind holds the memories of many past lives. Almost everyone can recall a past-life memory. It is possible because your subconscious mind holds all memory through time/space. Past lives can “bleed through” into our current lifetime and influence it in numerous ways. Do you find yourself repeating certain patterns over and over? Often, present-life issues we are struggling with have a past-life origin and the stories contain amazing lessons. The lessons are revealed by the life patterns we recognize in the stories. Emotional, spiritual, and physical concerns in your current life may also have their origin in a past life.

For over a decade, Christina has successfully regressed over 600 people in both individual and group settings. Her clients have gone back to lives in Eqypt, Colonial America, Atlantis, Lemuria, Pompeii, World War 1 and 2, the Vietnam War, The Wild West, The Victorian Era, Prehistoric times, and beyond.  Clients have also gone back to lifetimes on other planets and to non-human lifetimes. PLR provides an opportunity to heal trauma, release karma/stuck energy in these lives as well as forgive and be forgiven for transgressions.

There are many reasons to do a past life regression: to gain insight, to experience healing, to heal issues with no rational cause (fears, pain, etc), to process soul lessons, to forgive others who have hurt you so the past can be healed, to release and dissolve karmic entanglement, to gain an understanding of your gifts and challenges in this lifetime and how to move beyond them, and to gain more awareness of your soul contracts, karmic relationships, soul mates, and soul groups. Christina will guide you back to the life that needs to be addressed.  You are also given an opportunity to meet with your spirit guide(s) and soul group. 

Christina has found that the following people tend to have the best results with Past Life Regressions:

• Individuals who have experience with meditation, guided meditation, guided imagery, and creative visualization
• Those who are creative, artistic, and imaginative
• Individuals in touch with their intuition and spirituality

Death is one of life's most potent and sacred passages, as well as one of the most denied, ignored, and feared. Christina works as a cemeterian/family service counselor at two cemeteries and has found that many people do not want to talk about death, do not know what to do when someone is dying, and have no idea what to do when someone dies. Garden Goth's upcoming episodes will focus on all the various aspects surrounding death, dying, and deathcare; including metaphysical concepts such as past lives, etc. The goal is to provide education to empower, demystify, and reduce anxiety regarding death.

This podcast episode is a 3 hour Psychopomps workshop (audio only). Christina taught this live workshop to a dynamic group of psychics, mediums, and healers. Psychopomps are a concept originating from Greek mythology. Psychopomps are soul guides that escort and guide newly deceased souls from Earth to the afterlife. Their role is not to judge the deceased, but simply to guide. Modern Psychopomps are called Death Doulas, Exit Guides, and Soul Midwives. We discuss examples of Psychopomps throughout history, soul guiding techniques in different spiritual traditions, deities/gods/goddesses that are Psychopomps and how to work with them. We discuss ways that you can facilitate this sacred work (with family, friends, clients, patients, as a volunteer in hospice) and ways to tap into the veil. Death is a journey we all will take when it is our time….there is nothing to fear.

Another special video podcast episode with Christina Wilke-Burbach PhD! This 3-hour episode is part of our divination series and explores the divination technique of scrying. Christina makes and vends black mirrors for scrying at witches' markets, spirit fairs, and paranormal events and is surprised at how many people are not familiar with scrying or have never even heard of it.

Traditionally, scrying is performed with the use of a reflective surface, such as a mirror, water, or crystal globe. The word “scrying” actually comes from the Old English word descry which means “to make out dimly” or “to reveal.” Therefore, scrying is about revealing the unseen through the use of our intuitive second sight (Clairvoyance). Second sight is our capacity to see things that can’t usually be perceived through our five senses.  You will learn all about the history of scrying and second sight. Christina will cover numerous scrying tools, techniques, and methods. This podcast class will cover entering a trance state to have the best experience with scrying. We will also go over intuitive development, energy protection, energy clearing, ethics, and raising your vibration in this class.  Christina will guide you into a deeply relaxed trance state where you will then experiment with multiple scrying techniques and use it to intuitively answer life’s questions and participate in self-discovery. ***To fully participate in this podcast class, you will need a mirror, bowl of water, and shiny objects (like crystals). Christina will also teach you how to make a scrying mirror. Enjoy!!
