I've practiced this more over the past year and I've benefited greatly by doing as Cheryl says.
In one case, I had had a very difficult time in the past with a particular individual--feeling as though that one was keeping me down and using emotional/psychological judo to control me and others. Naturally I gave in to a feeling of injustice at times and wishing that the person could be "fixed".
In my daily meditation I decided one day to center on my feelings of helplessness and injustice regarding this person. As I followed the thread of this emotion I gradually, over the course of about 10 minutes, saw unreeled before me the details of three past lives with this person. In each case we were at odds with one another-replaying similar patterns of behavior upon one another.
But then I also saw, by the grace of God, that my own psychological pattern of "victimhood" was every bit to blame for this drama as was the "bullyhood" of the other. I saw this quite clearly and I immediately began to actively "see" my victim self as a small child and I held that one and simply poured love and forgiveness to myself. I hugged my little "self" (figuratively speaking) in the form of the personalities from these past lives as well as the present one during my meditation practice each day for a week or more. And I reminded myself each day that my "victimhood" was a major cause for this other persons "bullyhood".
After a week of this I noticed that I couldn't really "find" this victim/child self in my inner space any more....and remarkably, the bully/nemesis in my life completely changed and has seemingly permanently moved away from this former behavior of psychologically bullying others.
So much for trying to "fix" other people....

Thanks Boyd, for sharing your experience with the akashic field! I have also been able to tap into past records through emotional resonance. My experiences (on the average) have not been as visually detailed as yours - possibly, but seem to provide an opportunity for me to send ruby love, violet flame etc. into a specific record or situation which I feel has a greater transmutative effect because of my conscious attention and awareness.
