"A Therapist's Spiritual Homecoming"
by Past Life Regression Therapist, Ann Barham, M.A.

A Fortuitous Meeting
I have been working with the wisdom of the Guides since I met Ron and Susan Scolastico at a conference for past life therapists in Phoenix, Arizona in 1998. I was very impressed by the Readings that Ron gave at that conference, so I bought his book, The Earth Adventure, and proceeded to devour it on my flight home. After years of searching and exploration, I had finally found an explanation of the “why and how” of our human and spiritual existence that resonated for me! I had found my spiritual home.

Help With Painful Experiences
This was a critical time in my life. I had just experienced the last of three miscarriages in one year’s time, this time nearly hemorrhaging to death. As I began to have personal Readings with the Guides, they played a major role in my emotional healing from the grief and shock of the miscarriages. They gave me an understanding of the experiences from a spiritual perspective, and helped me find new meaning and direction in life.

Ongoing Inspiration
I have continued to have personal Readings for guidance and inspiration in many areas of my life. I especially value the Guides’ unconditional love and their uniquely comforting teachings.
     The Readings have given me tools to help me connect more directly with my own personal guides, with my soul, and with eternal truths. At the same time, the Guides are wonderfully adept at giving me step-by-step, down to earth programs to make practical changes in everyday life.

A Spiritual Breakthrough
Ironically, despite the attitude that “conventional Christianity” might have toward the Guides’ unusual work, one of the most wonderful things I have received from my Readings is a profound relationship with Jesus. I participated (somewhat hesitantly at first, due to some very negative experiences with Christianity in my earlier years) in a Guides’ workshop on “Jesus and the Christ Force.” I was incredibly moved to learn what Jesus’ message and purpose really were, to understand the transformative energies that his life brought to the human experience, and to feel my connection with his love. It was truly a life-changing experience.

Enhancing Professional Practice
As a practicing marriage and family therapist, as well as a past life regression therapist, I frequently call upon the Guides’ wisdom in my work. In my therapy sessions, I find myself passing on the teachings in some shape or form. At times, I consult with the Guides through personal Readings when feeling stuck with my work with a regular therapy client.
      Many past life clients are searching for the “big cosmic picture,” in addition to past life information. In a regression session, we get a deeply felt experience of the details of a past life, and we work on resolving issues that may be carried over from that lifetime. Then, I often refer past life clients to Ron’s books and tapes, or suggest that they have a personal Reading, in order to supplement our work with the Guides’ spiritual perspective.
     I feel extremely fortunate to have found my spiritual family through the Guides’ Readings, to have returned “home,” and I am so grateful that Ron and Susan have devoted themselves to this work.
