Love Can Travel Through Time
by Bruce Kasanoff
In her new book, Have a Nice Disclosure, Julia Mossbridge, MA, PhD mentions a practice called Time Travel Therapy, originally developed as a healing tool for PTSD.
The idea is that you imagine a younger version of yourself you at a very difficult time, and you send that version of you unconditional love. You literally surround previous you with love. You then use everything you have learned in the years since then to share wisdom with the former you. Tell them what they need to know, and tell them that in the years ahead, they will thrive.
Then, an instinct rose up inside of me…
What if some of the best ideas, hunches and survival strategies across the span of my life... came from me? What if part of what I call intuition is a future version of me sending unconditional love and guidance back in time?
The more I practice Time Travel Therapy, the better my entire life could be… and my impact on the world.
If so, my job is to send ideas, tips and unconditional love back in time to the old me.
Which raises the possibility that the old me has already benefitted from messages from the future me… that I have yet to send.
Which means I need to do it. Now.
The same may be true for you.
I have had numerous moments in my life when I suddenly knew what to do. Many such times, my knowing was contradictory to logic and “being realistic.”
This could explain why.
Best of all, this is a strategy with absolutely zero downside. If you imagine sending unconditional love and wisdom back to a previous version of you, the worst that can happen is that you fill the present you with unconditional love and wisdom. Even if it doesn’t work, you still benefit.
And if consciousness does work this way? You’ll heal trauma and uplift all versions of yourself across time.
By the way, this could also work in the opposite direction. You can send unconditional love to a future version of yourself, perhaps one in their few remaining days on Earth, dealing with a body that is almost done working. Instead of leaving this part of you to suffer alone, try sending compassion and love to them.
To get back to Julia’s book, it is quite unique, very short, and arguably an amazing source of priceless wisdom. But you have to be ready for it. This isn’t much like anything you’ve read before.
