Here's my observation as I was regressed for the first time, twenty years ago. It felt as if I was watching a movie in my mind. I was having a vivid, mental, experience as a Native American. I was a young male about 18 years old and living in the Southwest. I saw "myself" perched high at the edge of a mesa, in a squatting position. I sat there for hours as I patiently gazed and scanned the horizon. As this regression was unfolding the "present" me was thinking what is he looking for? I didn't have clue.
After this thought, I again found myself observing through the eyes of this young man and in the distance I saw a faint hint of beige dust. I watched the direction of and how the dust was becoming larger; billowing upward from the earth. I had found a herd of animals and it was time to alert my fellow warriors, so we could hunt and provide food for our tribe.
The insights from that experience were quite amazing. As a male I was concentrating on the horizon for hours at a time. I was with myself, not talking, just observing. This has helped me understand my husband's behavior. He doesn't like to multi-task, which is quite natural to me. He's quiet where I seem to chitter and chatter throughout the day. It's not that he's ignoring me, we're just genetically wired in different ways. And I finally understood why.
