Hi everyone, It's called surrogacy work and is not new. It's been used in hypnosis with clients who are not able to comprehend for themselves, e.g severely mentally challenged patients, animals, children, very ill people etc. Dr Shakuntala Modi a psychiatrist writes about this method.
All energy is non-local fields of information or vibrational frequencies. A surrogate can access the information of others by energetically tapping into their energy fields. This is known in shamanism as 'entering the landscape' of another person. In a less deep way we can enter the reality through the conscious mind feeling empathy and imagining 'as if' we were experiencing life through the filter of another. This form of empathy uses the mental subtle body, However during hypnosis or any altered state we can physically feel what the other feels. We do not possess them but we 'see' or view the world from their unique perspectives, by simply engaging with an energy duplicate of them. We do not transfer our energy in any way, we simply access the information that is held in their matrix or energy fields. Those individuals who considered themselves to be empaths in their day to day life would benefit from being grounded into their physical body so that they are not in a state of consciousness where they are enmeshing their energy with those of others which will usually have a considerably felt impact on them which can become very draining. This is not what is involved in being a surrogate for another person. It is our consciousness that accesses consciousness through the filter or software programming of another to find information pertaining to the questions asked. It is not our physical personality but our higher collective consciousness that is already connected to the totality of humanity.
When undergoing surrogate work we assist with healing through understanding what is occurring to the person on whose behalf we are helping. This is no different from using our state of consciousness to see through the eyes of another and is another form of remote spiritual healing.
One of my most fascinating spontaneous happenings in a session was with a mother of an autistic son. She began accessing the world from his perspective and it was fascinating to listen to the things he had to tell her about her life.
