What Past Lives Can Teach Us
For some people, past life memories feel raw and real. For others, they seem more like a dream or a story the mind creates.
Are past lives real?
I believe they are. I have experienced them in ways that left no doubt for me.
But I also know that everyone has their own story and their own belief system. Some will see these journeys as literal, others as metaphor. To me, it does not matter which lens you choose. What matters is what you discover.
I am not here to prove whether past lives exist. I only know that when I explore them, I find pieces of myself I had forgotten — both the wounds and the strengths.
When I explore past lives, either for myself or with a client, the memories that matter most are rarely the light or easy ones. The lifetimes marked by struggle, heartbreak, or loss carry the deepest weight.
When these stories surface, there is almost always something to reconcile. It feels like old energy clinging on, like karmic baggage that insists on being acknowledged.
Much like scars we carry in this life, those echoes can follow us forward, showing up as fears, phobias, or patterns that do not quite make sense until we trace them back.
That is why, when I am guiding someone through this work, I make it a priority to uncover at least one lifetime that needs to be released. Letting go of those heavy imprints can bring such freedom. But I also encourage finding a life to learn from in a positive way, because it is not only pain that travels with us. There are also gifts, talents, and strengths.
I have recalled lives where I was deeply compassionate, determined, or strongly connected to others. Clients often find the same. Those memories feel like resources waiting to be reclaimed and carried forward into the present.
When I sit with this process, I do not feel like I am chasing fantasy. I feel like I am making sense of the threads that weave through my story and the stories of those I work with.
By understanding where we have been, we can understand more clearly who we are. By reconciling what still echoes, we become freer to live fully in this life.
For me, this life is always the most important life. This is the one I am in, and the choices I make now matter most. Still, I hold the sense that my actions ripple both backward and forward, adding or releasing weight in the journey of the soul.
Karma feels like the debt we carry, while dharma is the credit we build when we live with love, purpose, and integrity.
This is why I return to these stories. Not to prove anything, but to understand the arc of the soul. The book is not finished. And by remembering, by releasing, and by learning, we each get to choose how to write the next chapter.
If you are curious about your own story, you might begin by noticing the emotions or patterns that have always felt part of you. '
Maybe there is a fear or heaviness you cannot explain, something that feels older than this lifetime.
On the other side, perhaps there is a talent, a knack, or a quality that comes naturally to you, one that sets you apart. These could be the echoes of past lives still living within you.
If you feel called to explore further, my Soul Journey audio course guides you through four different past life scenarios so you can discover these threads for yourself. And if you would like to go deeper, I also work one-on-one to help uncover the stories that matter most and bring them into healing.
