Who Were You in a Past Life?
If you have ever had a dream, recurring thought or profound memory of an event from the distant past and believe this to be evidence of a past life, you are not alone. Renewed interest in the topic, as well a past scientific evidence suggests that reincarnation is a real probability if not a REAL occurrence.
As a licensed Massage Therapist, I talk about the effects of trauma (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual) on the body and on health. I know that if scar tissue from a physical injury is not properly addressed, and if emotional trauma that makes the body hold on to the emotional traumas (called armoring) is not released from the memory of muscle, both will prevent the natural flow of energy throughout the body in a way that eventually causes disease just like ignoring a higher calling or life purpose will block our spiritual growth.
I believe these same blockages are present in our bodies today from past traumas in prior lifetimes. Most of us know these as irrational, unexplained phobias and fears.
With past life readings, we can potentially revisit our past lives and heal some of the phobias that persist in our lives today by learning about what may have caused them.
-
What tragedy did we experience?
-
During What time period?
-
What happened to us then that helped to shape and mold our futures today?
-
What unexplained pain that plagues us today is the result of a fatal injury from a past life?
-
Why am I afraid of failure? Success ?
These are some questions that may be answered by exploring past lives through the use of Divine, Tarot, and Oracle Past Life Readings as well as spiritual guidance.
What Happens During a Past Life Reading?
One of the simplest ways of experiencing a past-life breakthrough is to have a profound sense of inner-knowing; an "Aha" moment...
Maybe you've heard about these lightbulb moments by other people, but are unsure of what that means to you. Let me help you recognize those moments.
-
You might get an incredible urge to laugh and/or cry spontaneously.
-
You might experience a moment of complete clarity where something that never made sense to you suddenly does.
-
You might feel the sudden relief from a pain that has bothered you ever since you could remember.
-
You may release a heavy sigh and have a sense of complete relaxation.
-
You may hear something during the reading that seems to validate a thought, dream, or belief you have held for a very long time. You may not even remember when the dream or thought occurred. It just seems to have been something you always remember having.
-
You may experience a moment of synchronicity; when a bell, alarm, horn, barking or other noise is heard at precisely the same moment you experience something that deeply resonates with you.
-
You could have a lucid dream about a past life with a great amount of detail and later come across a story with many similarities from the past.
These are just a small sampling of the possibilities that exist when you have touched upon something that resonates with your deepest truth. But these experiences are not limited to what you might experience during a past life reading and/or healing. Once you recognize the signs for what they are, you will start to experience and--by default--release all the old energies that have been holding you back in your life today and allowing the flow of NEW positive energy to replace them.
With new energy comes renewed life...

I Remember Your Pain...
My arms thrashed wildly above the waterline as my mind raced with thoughts and memories of all the people I loved and cherished, and ended with the realization that I would die here tonight.
Straining against the bodies that pushed me deeper down into the cold water, I managed to be able to peer past the hands thrusting downward on my head and up through the blurred and rippled fluid that would soon fill my burning lungs.
I watched as my friend, confidante, and savior was led to his knees; his dark, holy robes draped in glorious folds around him. The butcher’s ax would soon find the soft flesh of his neck and pierce through the tender layers of muscle and the hard surface of bone.
If I was lucky enough, I would not see the beautiful face of the man who sacrificed everything for my safety frozen in terror, nor would I see the loosened head as it fell and rolled past the traitorous bodies that held him down into the very pool that was draining the life from me now.
But alas, I would have no such luck. As I grew weaker and struggled less against my oppressors, I watched streams of crimson red swirl furiously with the lapping waves of my dissent and heard more than saw the smacking of the head on water as it gave into the weight of itself and sank quickly to the bottom.
There, within arm’s reach of where I no longer writhed, it rested; and as I slowly felt the heavenly lifting up of my soul as it left my body, I gazed through the pink liquid and saw the loving eyes and gaping mouth looking up at me, and I heard his voice as an angel say “Do not mourn for me. I am already here waiting.”
I woke as the tears rolled down my face. My heart ached with the memory of the dread and pain. To me, there was no space or time that existed from the moment of that death and the memory that lay trapped in the confines of my subconscious mind.
As I wiped at my wet cheeks and rolled out of bed, I told myself that it was just a dream even as I marveled at the realness of it all.
Later that same day, I would visit a friend who I would share the dream with. I would describe in detail, from beginning to end, the tragedy that unfolded in what seemed like a lifetime.
When the last word had left my mouth, and as I sat there in further reflection, she quietly got up from the table where we were gathered. I hadn’t noticed the looks exchanged between her and some of the other people in attendance.
She came back a moment later with a small booklet of Catholic saints opened to a page of the story of a young woman who easily resembled me and began pointing out the similarities between my dream and her death. I nearly cried. I did, however, shake as I reached for the booklet and read for myself the story of St. Philomena.
Is this story evidence of a past life?
Could I be the incarnation of a young girl who was brutally tortured and then murdered at the hands of her own father?
I couldn’t know for sure, and nor is there anything that could concretely prove it. All I have is a dream in which I felt the pain, terror, and finally, the release of a young girl’s body to the grips of death.
I also have a very profound and irrational fear of water that seems to have softened with the passage of time. I have worked to first understand and then release this fear; and for some reason, when I try to rationalize my fear, this dream is what always comes to mind. But in this example, it is more than just the fear of water that needs to be healed. It is betrayal, trust issues, family issues, love, and guilt that need to be acknowledged and healed as well.
These are all real issues in my life right now that I struggle with. What isn’t healed in the past will most definitely pop up time and time again until it is.
These experiences are part of what forges our paths in this lifetime. They are what drive our interests, our beliefs, and our goals, even if unconsciously.
Healing them is what helps us to discover our life purpose and our ultimate goal of spiritual enlightenment.
