Who are you?
What created and shaped you into the person you are today? Genetics; your environment and/or upbringing; your culture; your life experiences, etc. all helped shape you into the person you are today.
But what about past lives? And why can’t we remember all of them – or in some cases, any of them?
Many of us had utilized the ‘veil of forgetfulness’ * when we entered into our current life; this helped us to focus on the now life and work towards completing our soul plan.
Many more people are now bringing some of those memories, intact, into this lifetime.
What many may not realize is that some things from past lives may have been brought forward into the current lifetime, and one area that shows up can be traumas.
We can bring forward traits, memories and/or symptoms from a past life – and when this happens, we are giving ourselves a chance to heal the past in the current life.
How can you be sure something is from a past life? After being checked out medically, you can contact a board certified regressionist counselor or therapist. The therapist can help you delve into past life connections – say with fears, phobias, phantom pains, etc. that do not seem to have their roots in this lifetime.
I have been asked why I consistently bring up “board certified counselors or therapists” (preferably with metaphysical interests and/or past life regression experience) – this is for your safety.
Do you have your teeth cleaned; eyes checked; see a medical doctor for antibiotics, or see a naturopathy physician for herbal or homeopathic remedies? Probably.
If you break your wrist, do you go see an eye doctor? Of course not.
Well, if you want to explore past lives, especially if there is trauma, then a board certified counselor would be the one to see. An issue brought into this life from a past life affects you today and the past life self. Through a counselor both aspects of self can be addressed and work on healing.
Does this mean the only way to heal a past life is through a therapist? No – but I consider it to be one of the smarter, faster, and perhaps healthier ways of accomplishing the healing.
I was born remembering a past life from a concentration camp in World War Two. As a child, I hadn’t the words needed to express the horrors I dreamt/re-lived each night.
It took about thirty years to complete the healing circle on that past life… and that, my friends, is a story for another time. 🙂

* (A pre-birth technique many souls use to block past life memories so that they live in the ‘now’.)
