Unlocking Soul Contracts With Blue Lotus and Sacred Dance

I should be clear that this was not my idea. It was a case of right opportunity, right place, because Katie has been doing this work for years, but without doubt this has become one of the most important parts of my new Aromatic Mystery School and I am so excited to get started. So first of all, I know many you will want to know…

What is A Soul Contract?

The best way I can explain it is to ask if you ever have any situations or relationships that seem to keep going wrong in the same ways? Or do you have any physical conditions that seem to have cycles and triggers. You know the triggers aren’t necessarily stress, per se, but you can’t quite put your finger on what those actual triggers might be. Or you know the trigger, but you don’t really understand why they are triggering you. It could be that what you are experiencing is not actually anything to do with you, but an unresolved contract that belongs to an ancestor.  

Soul contracts are the agreements we make before birth about lessons and challenges we will  face. They can often be tied to our ancestors or to our past lives. I like to think of them as being like a baton that gets passed along a familial line where the next generation continues the endeavours of the last. Sometimes soul agreements remain in place over multiple lifetimes. An easy one to imagine is that of those born into a royal family. They are pledged to God before they are even thought about. 

According to the apocryphal gospel, the Protoevangelium of James, The Virgin Mary had a similar destiny.  She herself was born of an immaculate conception because her mother, St Anne, became pregnant without having sex with her husband. She was raised in the Temple, and was married off to a carpenter many years her senior, then was visited by an angel who told her that was going to give birth to the son of God. 

Ancestral Lineage Healing and Soul Contacts

Not all ancestral experiences are as extreme as that, of course. Consider what it might be like to be Romany versus being a Sikh. Entirely different life paths, in part dictated by your family’s choices that have been pass down through generations. Secrets and taboos follow us down genetic threads. Sometimes, with good results, like natural abilities to dance, sing or do maths, but sometimes there might be a darker side to that. 

Consider what that would mean if one of your ancestors had been an arms dealer? 

Or what about a lapsed nun with all the complicated emotions and broken promises that would hold? What does it mean to be a Bride of Christ, then to leave Him?

What about someone who had dabbled in black magic ?

What energetic cheques have these ancestors bounced?

What soul contracts remain unpaid? These are what Katie refers to as “the iniquity of the ancestors”.

What bad shit are you still picking up the pieces for, without even knowing that you’re expected to do it?

Those are extreme examples, but these strange associations can be all manner of things and, even though you probably don’t have a clue…you can bet your bottom dollar your psyche keeps trying to tell you about them. The problem is, if you don’t speak somatic body language, you just won’t understand what it’s trying to communicate. It just feels ff, or nasty, or difficult. Or in some cases it feels inexplicably dreadful.  

Somatic Remembrance

If you have ever been in a car crash, you will know how cleverly the body remembers. Thirty five years after mine, I am still very difficult to have in the passenger seat. My mind is constantly panicking that a car is going too fast, that someone will come out from a junction or we may not have enough room to overtake.  I grab the door handle about sixty times every journey. I’ve forgotten pretty much all of the details of the original accident, but my body refuses to do so, and it harbours its annoyance in my muscles. 

It’s marvellous how fast it still signals panic, and my hand can react, and that’s even acknowledging the sensation in my belly that screams “This situation’s not safe. Any moment now, somethings gonna go wrong…” There is no mystery about what it is remembering. It’s a man and a woman hitting our windscreen as three cars collided in the rain (and unbelievably, everyone survived unhurt). 

I have the same panic over travelling alone, which of course I have to do for my job. My body does not like it at all and my anxiety spikes through the roof; but that’s not because of any incident I remember.  I have no explanation why. 

Have. No, had. I had no explanation why. 

I do now. It was a remnant of a soul contract I’d brought through.

Remembered Soul Contract

When I was doing the Melissa work, I went through many initiations, some more terrible than others, but none worse than the day I saw rituals I’d been dreaming about being done by a Lithuanian cult. The shock of it was terrifying.  I had five past life memories all come flooding in. One of those was Melite, an ancient Greek priestess who had been one of the tributes the Athenians had sent to Crete to feed the Minotaur.

My soul had a contract to keep Athens safe, and that poor girl's terror reverberated across two thousand years. 

Her panic was horrific. It took weeks to work through her terror, which now given contact made complete sense why I would be so panicked about going abroad. Who knows how many generations she had been trying to protect rom the Minotaur. After being so angry at myself for being “useless” at travelling, I now felt so grateful to the part of me that wanted to keep me safe at home. Acceptance is such a great healer, but I also knew that to grow, Melitte had to be asked to stop now, and go. Eventually, after placating her with many explanations that I’d never be in danger from the monster,  she agreed to leave. I instantly  felt generally less anxious in every aspect of my life.  I still don’t enjoy travelling, but I am nowhere as afraid as I was.

Now, make no mistake, my logical mind knows this story is entirely bonkers and, more, how could I ever convince anyone it was true?Where is the evidence? Where is the proof? Well the evidence is my lack of fear of stepping on a plane…So really, ours is not to reason why. 

Our job is..

Simply to observe and enjoy the fact that we feel better when it has been dealt with.

Who Was I in My Past Life? 

Ah well, that’s the sixty four million dollar question, isn’t it? 

It amuses me that often people seem to have been rather grandiose Pharaohs or Queens. That may or may not be so. Just as likely though, we were shop assistants, gardeners and cleaners. It's probably unusual to be able to say who or where you have been before.. 

I find it easier though, to imagine

what. 

What

was I?

Because some people can pick up a musical instrument and just play, can’t they? 

Or others are soothed by patterns in maths. 

My son is obsessed by the weather, and tells me each morning whether to put the washing out. (Never does it himself, mind you.) 

These inexplicable things, these talents that seemingly have no seeding anywhere…I dunno…maybe they

are

part of soul contracts from the past. Farmers who had to know when to plant, or minstrels whose lives depended on their abilities to play. 

We all had jobs. We all had loves, requited and otherwise. We all had trauma.

If we believe that we reincarnated, of course, and the Egyptian Mystery Schools insisted that we should.

The Womb: The Sacred Space of Soul Contracts

So where do these memories live? These soul contracts that puppet us with strings? 

Well, bodyworkers will tell you that memories lodge anywhere, especially in the myofascia connecting muscles and tissues. Another particular favourite haunt is with the womb space. In India, they call the wombspace called the

hara,

a creative energetic space that exists between the navel and the ribs.

Everyone has this energetic wombspace, even if they no longer have, (or have never had,) a physical uterus.  Thus women who have had hysterectomies, transgender men and women, or even cis-gender men, are able to access this healing with guidance from a skilled practitioner like Katie. 

Our wombs are memory receptacles of the most extraordinary kind. Able to hold memories,  not only of children that have grown there, but also the misery of those who did not, conditions like PMS and pelvic pain are often very much connected to the stories of a person’s womb. Tragic as it is to see someone whose womb has been a death space, then go on to develop hideous menstrual pain, it is extremely understandable. Menstrual pain can often be the physical manifestation of gynecological grief. Further, I’d like to acknowledge that reproductive grief is not only a curse for women. Many men and trans people experience complex emotions about never being able to parent, or indeed perhaps because they have parented but no longer can. 

Womb Healing

In these cases, the rage,the grief or even guilt, are usually our own. It’s easy to imagine how our own emotions might inhabit our own inner world of the body. That it’s not always that way. These emotions and soul contracts could belong to someone much older in our lineage. As a starting point to understand that, consider that, a child actually originates in their grandmother’s womb. Their grandmother carried their mother;  as their mother formed her ovaries and eggs that would eventually reproduce as a child. Thus, conceivably a child may have been in residence as their grandmother received news of her husband being shot down in war. 

Interdimensional Ancestral Pain

As a bee priestess, for me, a story of Telling the Bees, is brought to mind. Tradition says you should treat your beehive like family, and always tell them about births, deaths and marriages, or other main events. I remember writing the account of a woman who remembered her uncle getting banged up in jail for some crime, and the girl watched as her grandmother wrangled painfully for days over “Whatever shall I tell the bees?” Tragedies shoot across generations, but also they have bizarre ways of crossing  dimensions unseen.

Inherited Disease

Homeopaths have a name for part of this, and indeed it forms a large part of their therapy. ‘Miasm’ is an inherited dispensation for a disease…how syphilis or tuberculosis for example pollutes a family's genetic lineage to create certain predictable illnesses and malaise.  These are the physical effects of, I guess what we might call “The Sins of the Father”, or mother. Or uncle or aunt….

Soul Contracts 

Similarly remnants of soul contracts that belong to other times (or sometimes, even different dimensions) migrate and take refuge within the welcoming space of the womb. Many people find lethal cleansing the womb of  these energetic squatters radically overhauls their health. Their behaviour alters, and their emotional well being improves. Suddenly they begin to thrive and succeed where before they felt like they were inexplicably held back.Soul RetrievalSomatic movement and Dance Therapy, unlocks and releases  imprints, to release the dancer from emotional and spiritual ties that no longer serve. Sacred dance activates the body’s memory to release energy and trapped emotions from all parts of the body and mind, including the womb. Soul retrieval gathers fragmented pieces cast adrift by ancestral trauma.

In this two-hour workshop hosted by the Aromatic Mystery School, you will not only learn about soul contracts, womb healing, and sacred dance, but also experience the profound shifts that can occur when you consciously reclaim your soul’s power. Enhancing the powerful healing artform of sacred dance, in this workshop we will also work with  Blue Lotus. A plant ally well versed in speaking across the veil,  Blue Lotus has been one of the most renowned botanicals used as magical tools for the dead for at least four thousand years. Katie lives and teaches sacred dance in Egypt where pictures of it being used in dance  rituals for the dead are everywhere.
