Question of the Week: Past Lives: What Are They? Why Do We Need to Know About Them?

Lovely question. I love talking about past lives. Let’s dive right in shall we? To start…

What Are Past Lives?

It might seem obvious, past lives are lives we’ve already lived.  ‘Past Lives’, this term sounds kind of complicated doesn’t it? This term is by no means easy to define, yet, one does not have to fear it.  There are many ways to look at past lives and so much information about it.  This post will not be able to cover everything, so…l’ll give you my perspective on the subject.

You see, the afterlife (I like to say “before life”) is very vast. It is not simply a black void where nothing happens. A person’s soul is constantly learning, constantly prepping, constantly yearning for more. This is a place where they can gather together and help each other.

We all travel in soul groups. Think of this like a theatrical production. All the souls in this group are actors, and they position themselves in life in a particular way that helps a person learn the lessons they need to. This play is completely planned out. However, conveniently, we cannot remember them once we are born. Our soul groups are part of us, but that doesn’t mean we are in contact with every soul in each life. Sometimes there are lessons we need to learn that no one in our soul group should teach. So help is recruited from another soul group we are in affinity with. So when we do run into someone from our own soul group, we can feel an instant connection; this is the soulmate connection. This means that soulmate connections can vary. A soulmate could be a best friend, your mother, father, a sibling, a teacher, even an enemy. Sometimes a soulmate can be a lover, but this is not as common as one would think.

So if past lives are important, why do we forget them? If we indeed lived before why don’t we remember those lives? Answer this honestly… Do you really want to remember all your lives when living another? While I remember quite a few of my past lives, I know I don’t. My life is plenty for me to handle. The human body is not equipped to deal with all of your lives at once.

Don’t think of past lives in a chronological fashion. That is not how they work. I’m not saying that today you are living in 2013 and your next life will be in 542 BC; one life is not more important than another. This is why one simply cannot move through them in a chronological fashion. Everything learned is important and must be seen as a whole. You are not the same person who lived those lives, and your soul has changed. You will never be exactly the same person again.

Learning About Our Past Lives

Do you need to learn about past lives? Well, no. Could you survive without knowing about them? Absolutely! Are past lives useful to us in our current one? Oh yeah!!! (Sorry, I just love the subject :-)) This process is very healing, and in my opinion, fun.

Most of my clients ask me about past lives. The majority of these people are looking to understand something in this life. Others have flashes or memories of nothing they can remember from this life. Other people are petrified of certain things. Sometimes people feel an immensely strong connection to someone and they don’t know why. They might barely know the person. Past lives are a part of us, and can be responsible for some of the things we feel, need, loathe, actions we take and this list can go on and on.

By gaining a past life perspective, people can connect to what helped shape them in this life. I found that a lot of people react positively and, for example, are no longer petrified of water or understand why they might not trust someone they love deeply. By looking back in time, we can understand the present.

One of the most important things I can tell you about past lives is to keep an open mind. Any information that can help you overcome and live the happiness and peace you were meant to in your current life is valuable. If you find you cannot accept it completely, this is okay… 100% okay. However, if you find yourself wondering about past lives and how they might be relevant to this one, I suggest you investigate that further. Who knows, you might have just stumbled upon a trigger moment in your life. In other words, if you feel (yes, there is that gut feeling again) drawn to the subject, do it.
