I receive many heart-felt letters from clients. With their permission, I have decided to share a few of exceptional warmth and clarity. Although the names have been changed, the letters are otherwise unedited. My intention in doing this is to share with others how some people have begun to process and integrate their past-lives in this life. The diversity of experience is apparent - some people open easily to the information, while others are not yet ready to hear it. No one's reaction should be judged. Trusting one's process for growth and insight is key to full integration and personal development.
Letter from Diana
Dear Donna,
Just wanted to include a thank-you letter with my timely payment for your services. You are most welcome to using this as any online testimonial as well so other readers may enjoy.
I guess the best place to start is Thank-you. I had to have a prior history reading to resolve some unresolved issues that had been bothering me for a long time. I trusted that I would find the right person to hold my hand through this passage if I just stayed open and God would point me to them.
Equipped with my internet browser I searched for the key words, "past life regression". I stumbled after many choices on your beautiful web-site. I knew after reading your honest information and autobiography that I had found my "guide" to helping me answer my questions.
My soul has thirsted to understand and resolve some fragments from my past but sometimes life is really noisy and you can't hear or see exactly pin-point what these are without some help. Who could I ask? So many people aren't grounded or believe in their souls being separate living entities other than their physical bodies and their power to go on living.
Just like one would hire a guide to get you through the deep jungle, you were able to see what I couldn't put my finger on and deeply wrestled with to understand for the last 17 years of my life. I waited on pins and needles for our appointment date to come so I could rid myself of that feeling and get my answers. I even had a bad dream the night prior to my call that someone was trying to stop both of us, Donna, from speaking.
After our call I felt as if I could slide out of some of the locks that were taken off of my heart. I could really start focusing on some of the finishing touches of growing and rectifying some of my issues with the additional gained knowledge. It was kind of like going as far as you could on your life's homework and then getting stuck at a certain point where you needed someone to help you figure out the rest of the path to the answers and help you see where you need to fill in the gaps.
I cried after our our call because although I listened most of the time, your reading was right on the mark. Your past life reading of me was so much like my real life. It's no wonder as you had said that there may be a high degree of similarities in a past reading to a current life reading before you started the reading.
It was scary and yet very necessary to realize that I was not imagining things in my everyday life about my inner circle of family and friends. It also strengthened the thought I have made along my private spiritual journey that validated where they had started in my past life and why they started.
I never realized that you could see exact things down to the level of detail that you described. This was in no form doubt on my part simply innocence in the matters of past life readings. I was shocked that each question you had asked me I had physically written down on a piece of paper and you just beat me to asking it during our reading! The same exact questions then you took and looked in for answers and came out with concise answers, WOW! Thanks.
I look forward to receiving you tape and following your suggestions and creative exercises in prayer to tidy up any of the feelings you discussed.
I look forward to being able to give more to my family, Steve and Amy, since now I know I won't have anymore feelings of ambivalence to fear about the past. Now that I know the pertinent "Why's" and "How's" of the past I can rest assured that I can enjoy the present far better.
Thanks for reminding me of my need to improve on communicating and not being such a turtle who goes inward to retreat. Thanks from the bottom of my heart and I wish you much love and happiness. Thanks for sharing your special gift with me. You are very special to me, now, and going forward!
I promise to stay in touch with you, Donna. You will always be in my prayers and a special part of my life!
Sincerely,
Diana

My Dearest Donna,
hope that this e-mail finds you enjoying all of life's gifts. I went to visit your site the other day and I noticed that you were so kind in adding my letter to you in Letter from Diana. How thoughtful of you to share my experience with others. I hope that I can be a catalyst for just one more person to reach you in some way. This is my sincere wish.
I hope that you are happy and healthy and sharing your gift with many others. I have taken your wisdom and continued applying it to this present life and remembering everyday your words," we are not here to judge". I have applied you suggestions of reading and communicating with all facets in my life it has reached the highest benefit in my personal relationship with my daughter Amy and Steve. We are all closer than ever blending all three hearts of ours into a loving family. Steve and I have talked about our intimacy and communication issues many times since our call and made a vow that we continue being open throughout our soon to be marriage and forever thereafter.
My communication strengthened at work and I am in a new contract position reaching all time heights in my career. Totally unplanned but an exciting bonus to all the other positive changes.
My confidence and skills extended back to my blood family but unmistakenly my kindness and openness has caused more hurt and devastation and it demonstrated itself in my mother Julia completely stop speaking to me and my father Arthur sending out a horrible letter recapping 16 years of bad choices he recollected I made since I had my first boyfriend in high school on through my current relationship. I was so hurt yet prepared because I remember you stating that as I grew stronger so would the demonstrations against my sole liberation. I think the part that hurts the most is the sweeter I am the more awful they have become toward me and their choice words of devastation,pain and hurt to describe still frighten me. I let my father know that I had never done one stitch to induce malice or pain to them and that respectfully so he needed to look within. He just lost his mother one month ago and he was estranged with her through his whole life and I guess chose to lash out at me when I let them know about our soon to be wedding. All heck broke lose and I've lost them all. Why Donna? What does this have to do with the past life reading if any? What are your suggestions to cope? I pray deeply for understanding, enlightment and forgiveness for all that I don't understand. Should I add any other intentions to this list?
I know life goes on my friend and strongly so I forge ahead. I have made sure to take much needed love and direct to myself I have been taking Yoga classes regularly to help me come into my inner peace daily and I have run my first 5k and taken up running to cleanse my body from the toxins of daily living. Steve, Amy and I are very excited we are to marry August 11 in Maui - hope you get good vibes from this date for us. We are all growing closer and very blessed.
I want to have another reading some time but I am not sure what the topic to work on next should be, any hints?
Much love and kindness to you. I keep you always in my thoughts and prayers my friend. Thank-you for helping me cross the path with you and others that may need crossing in the future.

Hi Donna,
I haven't talked to you in well over two years. Your last two readings for me were exceptionally helpful. However, because they were they produced some very major changes in my life that has taken some time to settle down.
For starters, I divorced my husband (not on any recommendation on your part but because I began to see the destructive patterns in my relationship there. I stayed in the marriage after your reading for about a year and was able to really work at the major points of conflict that previously I had not been able to see. I released a lot of anger I had towards my then husband, and at the point where I had no more anger, only love and compassion for him, and yet he could not make peace with me, then I realized it was time to leave. I had no more to learn from the experience and I feel I did my best under the circumstances. I do not feel I will be going another round with him in a future life as I was able to assert my issues with love and he just was not willing to meet me halfway. And that was the big lesson for that marriage: it takes two to create a harmonious relationship. If only one desires harmony and the other doesn't, it's best to send that person your love and leave the relationship. I don't blame myself anymore for the way the marriage went.
I realize it was a joint venture and a learning experience. Interestingly enough, the one thing in your past life reading with my then husband was the way you pinpointed how my husband always blamed me for any problems in the marriage and I always accepted the blame. I had not seen this at all before the reading. It was like it was obvious to everyone else, but to me I was blind. This time, I did not take the blame and there was one point in the marriage when I said to him: "It's like you think it's always my fault." And he admitted it. He said: "Well, yeah!" And then I told him (because he's a very analytical and scientific type): "Do you realize that if I'm ALWAYS at fault, and I am never wrong, that I have just defied the laws of statistics? You are telling me I am ALWAYS PERFECTLY WRONG. I must be some kind of PERFECT PERSON or something to constantly never be in the right when even statistically speaking, I should be right every so often. Just by the laws of chance." That was the first time I saw him actually speechless in one of our debates. I think I hit two or three past lives with that statement. He carries that with him as we parted, realizing that this time around I am not taking all the blame. And he hasn't an argument left as to why I should. So, that took about a year and a half to process and let go. We have been separated for about a year now. I also started to learn a lot more about the bodies energetic system. If you want to see more of my life growth, I'll let you look it up at http://www........ That's the web page I put up. The only thing not on there is the spiritual development group based on the book called "Awakening the Buddha Within" which I am facilitating at my house. I find I have a lot of connections to Buddhism.
I also joined a church that is more metaphysical in nature, going against many years of inbred dogma, dogma that had only served to keep me captive to other people's dramas. Spiritually, I have exceeded my wildest expectations for this lifetime. I am in areas I didn't even know existed just a few years ago. A while ago one of my guides told me that this lifetime has been my best in terms of growth in all my past lifetimes, and I know I have had many. I know that your guidance has been a key part of that growth and I thank you.

Hello, Donna,
I just wanted to drop you a line to again say thanks and to give you an update. After hearing my past life story with Alex I gave it a lot of thought and prayer. My main prayer was for his heart to be healed of the hurt I caused him in that life. About a week or two later I had a dream which was a spiritual dream, not just a regular dream where you try to work through an issue. In the dream we had a moment to embrace, no words, but we were both hearing the same music in our minds. I could feel his heart and emotions and was overwhelmed by the comfort and reassurance that we both experienced. I believe with all my heart and mind that we both received healing during this embrace even though it only lasted a short while.
Since then, I have been relieved of the pressure I'd been feeling about the whole relationship. No more guilt or worry about him. No more sense of urgency to find answers to unknown questions. This burden is no longer my problem mainly because my prayer has been answered in that his heart has been healed. I do still love him but that is the way its supposed to be...we loved each other for too long and too many lives for that to change. The difference is that now I know he'll be ok and I no longer have to feel his pain. That is the relief I have been seeking. Given all of this, I send my sincerest thanks to you for your help in this journey.

Hello Donna, Talk about confusing times!! I have no idea whatsoever why you have received an email from my friend in California that was intended for me. Last week some time I deleted a whole bunch of emails but how it got forwarded to you is a mystery to me. Since there are no accidents in the universe I accept this little nudge from my Self and say...Hello again!
I hope everything is going well for you. Since you did the reading for me hope everything is going well for you. Since you did the reading for me some really interesting things have happened. I say once again: 'Thank You!' for the reading and I am grateful for the insights you helped me to gain about my own life.Today I am going to listen to the tape again just to remind myself about some of the major points. This Sunday (Easter) it will be exactly one year since I quit smoking. I know that isn't such a big deal to most people but it is huge for me. I had been smoking since I was 6 years old. My own brothers do not believe I have quit. They also do not believe that I have had no desire to smoke since then or that I haven't had any withdrawal pains or discomfort, but that is the truth. Why no discomfort, after smoking 46 years, and especially since I smoked so much (3 or 4 packs a day) ? The reason is simple: I prayed , and I received help after I prayed. And the need for tobacco was simply taken away. I didn't stop smoking because I was afraid or because I thought it was a bad habit. I just thought it was time to stop, because as long as I smoked I was still held down, more or less as a prisoner to the world and "the 10,000 things"...I'm sure you understand what I mean. Now I'm free, and nothing holds me back except myself. Take care, Donna.
Sincerely
Larry

Donna, I apologize for the delay in response to you but my computer has been giving me fits when I try to get my messages. I would love for you to use my testimonal. I have never seen such a transformation with the small amount of work I have put into this. Everyone around me cannot beleive the transformation I have made, almost right before their eyes.
For the people out there fighting the battle inside themselves, I wish them much luck. I have found out that most of the things I hated about myself were not really what I thought they were. Now we have 85% harmony and only 15% turmoil at times. I know you are busy but I just have to share this with you. Blue (the part of me that wanted attention from men) wound up being my confidence!! Can you believe I had kept her hidden to the point where she hid herself as something completely different than what she was! Now, the parts of me have developed so much, they are him or her. I am loosing weight without trying because I gave green (45lbs) a chance to have a choice to stay or go. You have made a tremendous difference in my life and I am ever grateful for your guidance and love.
Sending you much love!
Melissa

Letter from Chris
Hi Donna -
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the reading. You have helped me with the "confusing" issue of why I'm still drawn to a man that obviously doesn't want to see me. It brought tears to my eyes when you saw he was a poet type with feminine characteristics. In this life he has the same qualities.
Even more wonderful than solving the above mystery, is the info regarding me and my husband, John! Just knowing we have reincarnated together is so comforting. In this life John has trouble with self-esteem also. I always thought it was because his Father stayed in an unhappy marriage for 30 years and Jim and his siblings felt those "vibes" and consequently all have self-esteem problems and were not blessed with any problem resolution skills.
I shared your info with my husband. He is wondering if you could tell what his profession/life's work was in earlier lives? You will probably be hearing from us again - I told him after our daughter moves out and our lives get a little more peaceful, we can schedule another reading. He can get on the second phone and be part of the reading.
Thanks again for sharing your talent. Every time I think about the "other" John, I'm doing as you advise . . . let him die in that previous life and let go. It sure helps me move on in this life!!!
God Bless You!

Letter from Grace
Hello, Donna,
My name is Grace Cantrell. I don't know if you remember me. We spent two hours on the phone in January, discussing a past life I experienced with my mother, grandmother and aunt (when they were my half-brothers and half-sister). You read all four of us, but only talked to me. We also spoke for some time about upper limits, stemming from my lack of desire to have children.
Since speaking with you, I have attempted consciously to "heighten" my upper limits and I believe I have had some success, although it comes gradually. Thank you!
During your reading, I had some revelations and insights into my current lifetime (and those of my family). I chose to share the reading with my Aunt Theresa (who was my half-sister Michelle). In typing her past name, I just realized that they named her Michelle because our father's name was Michael. I don't know why, but that just came to me out of the blue. A lot of things have been coming to me out of the blue. Are these spurred memories? It feels more as if someone is telling me. What do you think or know about that?
Anyway, I was on the phone to my aunt and I was relating the reading to her in the chronological order you presented it to me. I don't know if you keep notes or copies of the tapes, but when I reached the point where the family had moved to France from England because of the warmer climate, Theresa began to experience feelings that were new to her. I had not yet reached the point where she leaves our father's house and elopes, only to return to face a horrible scene with him, which she does not handle well or possibly ever recover emotionally from. Theresa (I just realized in typing her present name that she was named Theresa because her father's name was Terrence--is there some significance to being named after the father both times?). Anyway, Theresa began to get the chills and feel shaky and weepy (although she was not sad, it was just intensely emotional) and she started to say that she "left England" and when she came back, her father was dead. But he wasn't dead and we lived in France, not England. The reading says that she went to Paris and eloped and when she came back she had a terrible fight with our father (and probably never saw him again). She started to experience conscious recollection of this episode, stating that she saw a dark room with light coming through a curtain and the shadow of a man sitting in a chair (like in a den or parlor). I believe she said there was a drink on the table next to him (the reading said he was a severe alcoholic) and she remembers bounding into the room, like, "I'm back from Paris and I'm married and I'm happy and I'm here to tell you" But the man was--dark? severe? forbidding? Something like that. And she knows they had a terrible fight. She was crying in earnest by this time. She (and I) have never had an experience like this before. During this point in our conversation, I also had the chills and felt the tingling sensation in the left side of my body (which usually signals me that I am not alone, but I don't know who it is) and felt that she also was not alone and that she was being helped to remember this confrontation because it is critical to her. She also had similar problems with her father in this lifetime (different person--the father in the past life was my grandfather in this life who passed away before I met him).
Also, she had consciously remembered being in a carriage (she believes it was in London), stepping out of the carriage, seeing the long skirts of her fancy dress, and a tall man wearing a top hat reaching out a hand to assist her. She recalled this again during our conversation. She believes that this image was either her husband that she eloped with or the father in a previous life, but not as her father. Although we lived in France, leaving England seems to be the key to her remembrances and she kept repeating that the father and leaving England are somehow critically important and connected.
She remembered all of this on her own before I reached that part in the reading.
I apologize for the long e-mail. I didn't mean to write so much. What I was wondering was, is there a way to delve into this for her through me or should she contact you herself? She's on the web now, too, so I will e-mail your site to her.
There are also some questions I have formed concerning myself since my reading. I have opened myself up to the idea of having children (I never thought that would happen!) and have been presented with images of a little boy twice now right before I fall asleep. He is maybe six months old in the first one and probably two or three years old in the second one. Something about the letter "J". That's all I get. Is he trying to contact me? Have you heard of anything like that before?
Also, I have a feeling that I need to ask you about a life before the life you read for me. I feel that I should have asked more about myself than about my family (although I needed to know about our connection and the struggles between us at that point and now I know that the guilt and the problems were not mine and I feel much better!). There's something I need to know, it's so close but I can't reach it. Can we set up another appointment--maybe for next Sunday morning, around 8:00 or 9:00 my time (PST)?
Again, I apologize for the lengthy correspondence, but you were so helpful and nice, and nothing like that has ever happened to me or Theresa before, and I wanted to share it and see what your thoughts were.
Thank you for your time!
Grace
Letter from Kathleen
Dear Donna,
Thank you for your reading! I did go visit my Mom. She accepted very easily with some emotion of appreciation the info that she had nursed me and others selflessly in another life. Cried because she wanted to do it this life and felt she'd failed because she didn't. But of - course, she'd Done it!
The death of her dog which "froze her emotional body" as you suggested was never brought up. I alluded to it - a dog she'd lost but she couldn't' go beyond this life time. Like a solid wall there. So it wasn't talked about.
However, her frustration, her anger, her hate for her late husband were all lessened if not gone! She spoke of Dad with gentleness and a hint of love for the first time ever. The room felt so different this time. And we got along famously.
I thank you for your help! For sharing your talent! For your compassion.

Hi Donna,
I've had a few more medical mishaps since I got to DC. I'm having a great time nonetheless; last night I staked out the area Josh and I want to live when I graduate. And went to an Irish pub...
I've been meaning to write and thank you for your book and colitis info earlier, but it all seemed pretty much implicit and obvious that I would be thankful, and I would write when I had something meaningful to say... I finished Initiation, by the way. Fantastic book. I just wanted to share with you what i discovered, in a different way tonight.
Well, it's amazing what can happen as you bathe. Aristotle discovered something in the bathtub and ran around naked shouting Eureka. Well, I didn't do that at my host family's, firstly, as it wasn't that kind of
What you said about Jacques the leper and his implications came true. I'll try to explain. I got there on my own, about surrendering and letting God do his will. I realized tonight, that there was a pattern. Out here in DC, things keep screwing up biologically. My stomach might have an ulcer again for the second time this summer. And I also had chicken pox. At 22, go figure...
I was in the shower, idly wondering about it. I got to the point, where I said; Forget about it! Let god do with me as he may, I don't really want to worry about it any longer. It was that instant I realized a few things. That that would take away all the worry, and that that was what you said I should learn, in regards to the lesson that Jacques started.
I have been saying the 'If god wills it', it's become somewhat of a habit - whenever I can remember it. Now, the lesson has become fully realized. Okay, bold statement. Shall we say I get the idea on the ground level? I don't know how many lives have to go towards getting this down, but I feel I got something done tonight.
And you have made it a lot easier, and a lot clearer. Thanks. Heaps.
I thought you might find some other things interesting.
Josh no longer seems to feel like he'll do stuff for me simply because I ask anymore. He seems so less guilty. Thanks for that! And he said 'Hey, at least you don't have leprosy instead of Colitis', the other night. I laughed and he kept wanting to know why...
I got an A in my senior seminar project! It was a short story, with reincarnation being pretty much the major theme!
Jenna is still confused. She's writing Bob letters which keep contradicting themselves... (to be continued. Greatly...)
I have to go, but thanks Donna.
Zach :-)
