<p class="MsoNormal"><span>I’d tried other energy healings and treatments which helped considerably, but I had some doubts because so far nothing had made me feel like “the old me”&#8212;active, enthusiastic, intelligent, self-confident, helpful&#8212;I was in grief, missing the best parts of me.<span> </span><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>I even lost confidence in<span id="more-85"></span> my mind-body exercises, meditation, and crystals.<span> </span>I felt like I couldn’t clear myself and was on edge, unmotivated, and totally distracted with no sense of time.<span> </span>People either ignored me or acted angry around me.<span> </span>I was also angry from deferring and giving in to others.<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>My brain was foggy, confused, and I wasn’t able to trust my intuition.<span> </span>I’d “zone out” during meditation and while listening and kept replaying negative events that led up to my divorce and my leaving of spiritual groups.<span> </span>I had stinging skin sensations like I’d been slapped over most of my body.<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>I withdrew from friends and holed up at home, but couldn’t rest.<span> </span>An inordinate amount of problems at work and dwindling savings due to lack of work made me look haggard.<span> </span>I felt overwhelmed and kept thinking something was wrong with me.<span> </span><span> </span><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>I finally went to Michael’s website and read his articles about Emotional and Spiritual Renewal, energy blockages, and spiritual attachments.<span> </span>I liked the fact that Michael was trained in these skills in China and was also an Acupuncturist.<span> </span>His distance healing services are very affordable.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>After a few e-mails, I got to know Michael better and liked his warmth, sincerity, and kind concern.<span> </span>I made an appointment on his website and he called me at home on time.<span> </span>He put me at ease right away with his nice voice and humble confidence.<span> </span>He asked what I would like to accomplish in this session and then tuned in to my energy and began to read what was going on.<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Michael is very much in tune with psychic energies. <span> </span>He asked about people from a spiritual group I belonged to and determined who was in my energy and why they were there.<span> </span>He worked with me to send these people far away.<span> </span>In my mind’s eye I could see them go.<span> </span>He also found that I needed to see myself far away from a different spiritual organization.<span> </span>As Michael told me about these people, I finally realized why I felt crushed by them and why I no longer wanted to do my spiritual practices.<span> </span>He also found that I still had attachments to and from my ex and cleared these.<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>I felt optimistic and empowered because he found more than other healers and not only helped me to remove attachments, but told me what to do to keep them away this time.<span> </span>He gave me a meditation, hand mudra, and mantra to rely on myself more to rebuild my crushed Spiritual energy field.<span> </span>Michael’s message to me was to empower myself without associations and to keep disassociating and clearing so I can rely on myself.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Michael answered all my questions and even though there are still some things to be cleared, I feel I have clarity and understanding, an improved outlook, more compassion for myself, and feel more willing to take an active role in my own life.<span> </span>I felt lighter and freer after our session and felt my energy shifting in my head.<span> </span>My face looks more relaxed and for the past two days, I’ve felt my second and first chakras lit up with energy.<span> </span>I also have had increased opportunities for work and people have been more generous and friendly toward me.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Thank you, Michael, for the gift of your compassionate spirit!<span> </span>Your work is just what people need to get their life back on track.<span> </span>I will definitely work with you for healing other areas of my life.</span></p>

You have been a living consciousness since your beginning and you will continue to be a living consciousness for the rest of eternity. It is likely that you have had lifetimes on Earth before this one and that you will have lifetimes on Earth after this one. Expand you idea of past and future to include the multiple lifetimes that you have had and those that you will undoubtedly have in the future.</p>
<p>Each lifetime is affected by the previous lifetime. You have built Yourself through your trials, hardships, and experiences. Each past life prepares you for the next one like childhood prepares you for adolescence and adolescence for adulthood. Just as childhood traumas can lead to a difficult adolescence, past life traumas can cause problems in this lifetime.</p>
<p>Past lives build on one another. Energetically, they are like layers of an onion. Each life epoch is connected, yet separate from the others. Each life epoch can help or hinder the next phase of growth.</p>
<p>Most therapies in our current life epoch only concern themselves with traumas of this lifetime, often going back as far as early childhood or even prenatal, but rarely further. Specific expertise is required to pierce the layer of your current lifetime to find and dissipate past life trauma.</p>
<p>Past life trauma is like a magnetic ball and chain. It is a heavy weight to carry, it slows you down, and it attracts similar trauma in this lifetime.</p>
<p>It is possible to relieve past life traumas and lighten the burden for your journey forward.</p>

<p>Thankfully my experience in the spiritual realm tells me that there is no Devil (with a big D and big horns). However there are forces at work that try to keep you from becoming your best, that try to keep you from progressing on your spiritual journey. Usually these forces are not evil per se, but never-the-less, they do not have your best  interest in mind. They do not want you to progress spiritually. In fact they want you to stay right where you are.</p>
<p><span id="more-27"></span>We all have things about ourselves, large or small, which we would like to improve. When we try to make progress on them we are often unsuccessful. Sometimes it is just because we don&#8217;t try hard enough. We don&#8217;t commit. Other times there is literally a force that somehow holds us back. These forces can be in the form of emotional or spiritual blockages. </p>
<p>When we make a resolution to change, we inadvertently broadcast this intention to the very forces that want us to fail. Alan Watts might have counseled that we follow the Water Course or the Way of the Tao, to try without trying to act without acting and thereby do without resolving to do. By doing so, we would not attract the attention of those who want us to fail. Ultimately this may be the best course of action, but until you become a Taoist Master it could be a little difficult to manifest.</p>
<p>Make this New Year a time of renewal. Remove the emotional and spiritual blockages that have been holding you back. Release you essential being that has been blocked. Move forward with Peace and Lightness of Being.</p>
<p>Happy New Year!</p>
<p>Wishing you the very best,</p>
<p>Michael<br />

This is especially true with certain spiritual blockages. </p>
<p>Removing blockages is relatively simple. First the blockage  is identified, then before it can be safely removed, the purpose of the blockage has to be understood. Spiritual blockages and spiritual attachments always have a reason for being there.</p>
<p><span id="more-18"></span>Often the reason is purely selfish on the part of the spirit who has formed the blockage by their attachment. Emotional interest on the part of the attaching spirit is usually the cause. It can be a family member, husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend. It can be someone who is upset with the other person. </p>
<p>Spiritual attachments are sometimes there for a reason other than selfish interest on the part of the attaching spirit. </p>
<p>One reason is a &#8220;spiritual contract.&#8221; As spirits we have tests or tasks that must be accomplished in this lifetime. Before we come to this life we have agreed to some of these tests and tasks. It may be the test of living through the trials of poverty or wealth. It could be the task of serving humanity in some way, small or large. Sometimes, we have made a contract to help a specific person with ta spcific test or task in this lifetime. The spirit whom we are supposed to help, may stay attached to us until we have fulfilled our spiritual contract with them. It could be that we were the cause of suffering to another spirit in a previous life and that spirit is &#8220;haunting&#8221; us, until this perceived injustice has been made right. These types of spiritual attachments can be renegotiated and removed, but sometimes the attachment must remain until the obligation has been fulfilled. On these occasions an appeal must be made to higher spirits who protect the people involved. Then the answer has to be obeyed. Removing justified spiritual attachments without permission of the higher spirits involved is not recommended.</p>

A spiritual attachment has many forms that can only be described metaphorically. It can be like a hook or a barb that penetrates your spiritual material. It can be an energy form that is interwoven or lodged within your spiritual body. It can even be a situation where the attached spirit is obsessed with you and never or rarely leaves your presence.<br />
There are infinite reasons why this might happen, but they often fall into one of several categories. Obsession is a common cause of spiritual attachment.</p>
<p><span id="more-10"></span>In fact in some way all attachments are a form of obsession. I usually find obsessive spiritual attachments arise from emotional or sexual relationships. Intimate partners often find it difficult to let go. They will hang on spiritually even when they cannot stay physically. The simplest case is an old flame that just won&#8217;t die. They try to hang on even when all chances of being together have past. The most severe tend to be incestuous. Especially where a parent is sexually obsessed with a child and refuses to let the child go. I have found this type of spiritual attachment in mature adults who have dealt with the <a href="http://michaelroland.com/spirituality/2009/05/07/spiritual-attachments-victims-of-sexual-abuse/">sexual abuse</a> cognitively and emotionally and who&#8217;s parents have long since past, yet the spiritual attachment remains. It can be the most tenacious variety and can sometimes take many sessions to resolve.<br />
Karmic debt can cause spiritual attachment. There are situations where you owe a spiritual debt to another. This is usually from a past life where you treated another person unfairly and must make it up. Sometimes it is a form of spiritual contract where you have agreed to help another spirit in this lifetime and you are not fulfilling that agreement. So, the spirit stays attached in some way, asking for you to fulfill that obligation.<br />
Injustice or perceived injustice can cause another spirit to attach itself to your spirit. The reasons are too numerous to consider here, but usually it happens when another person is angry or jealous because of some real or perceived slight. This can occur in the family, in the work place, or literally anywhere. These are easy to relieve in most cases.<br />
Magic, shamanism, and other forms of energy and spiritual manipulation can cause attachments. These can be extremely difficult to remove and must be approached with utmost care, especially when the recipient was complaisant. A version of this can also occur in master/disciple teacher/student and other similar relationships.<br />
Deep concern about another person can cause an attachment to form.<br />
You can invite attachments or even attach yourself to another spirit. Obsessive thoughts about another person or holding grudges can cause your spirit to attach to theirs. Placing yourself in or remaining in or around unpleasant people or environments can also increase the likelihood of attachments.<br />
Usually I consider attachments to be adverse to your spiritual health, even your physical health. It is rare that they actually need to be there. In most cases they should be resolved.</p>

<p>Emotions are energetic patterns. I don&#8217;t mean this in the abstract, but literally. Emotions can be strong energetic patterns that are so dense and structured that they can maintain their form as they transfer from one person to another. This can be a wonderful experience when you are in love. It can be a valuable experience if you are a therapist. It can be an unpleasant or even dangerous experience if you receive a bad emotional pattern and you can&#8217;t shake it.</p>
<p>I encourage everyone to be responsible for their own emotions and not to lay blame on others for their own feelings, but sometimes those feelings are not actually yours. They are transplants!</p>
<p>It can be very liberating to finally get rid of them.</p>

He has been doing spiritual healing for over 50 years with astonishing results. I had the good fortune to visit him while traveling in South America. During that visit I had a profound and deeply moving experience, the details of which I have only shared with my closest confidants until now.</p>
<p><span id="more-3"></span></p>
<p>Profound spiritual revelations are normally reserved for our own private contemplation, but adding this account to the web, I can communicate to those who would like to hear my experiences.</p>
<p>Casa de Dom Ignacio serves hundreds of people per day. I stood in line with people from all over the world some sick, some curious, even some healers like myself. As I approached John of God my body began to tremble slightly and I felt like sobbing. When I was finally in front of John of God I simply asked for help in continuing on my spiritual path.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sit and wait,&#8221; were his only words as he motioned toward a nearby chair. Trembling began to intensify as I sat down. I closed my eyes. As my body was shaking tears began to flow from my eyes. I felt the presence of a power so high and so beautiful that it defies explanation. It was in the presence of this beauty, that a new understanding of Chinese medicine and qigong was revealed to me. I was having a profound vision. It was made clear to me that I would now be able to remove <a href="http://www.michaelroland.com/FAQ.html"><span>emotional and spiritual blockages</span></a> from other people and that I would be able to do it from any distance, even thousands of miles.</p>
<p>It took two days of rest and contemplation to recover from the event. During my entire two week stay I was constantly receiving similar yet less intense interventions, all of them, in some way, preparing my body and spirit for future work.</p>
<p>Since that time I have been giving remote qigong treatments to people from all over the world. We simply make contact by phone or internet and then commence the session. As you may know, I have been a professional acupuncturist for over fifteen years. I&#8217;ve done scientific research and worked for Dr. Andrew Weil&#8217;s Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona.</p>
<p>With this new ability I hope to reach people in need without the necessity of proximity. If you have seen me before you will have a very similar experience to the treatments you received in my office as a patient. If you are new to me, then you may be surprised that you can actually feel the work as it&#8217;s happening from thousands of miles away.</p>
