Have you ever had a strange feeling of familiarity with someone or a place, as if you’ve known them for years, even though you’ve just met or been there for the first time? Or have you ever experienced a sense of deja vu so strong that it feels like you’ve lived through a moment before? These are some ways people might feel connected to their past lives.
The University of Virginia’s Division of Perceptual Studies has researched past-life memories, especially in children. In cases where children claimed to have memories of past lives, researchers verified that some of the details provided by the children matched those of actual individuals who had passed away. For instance, a young boy named James Leininger showed knowledge of World War II aircraft and claimed to be a pilot named James Huston Jr. Through research, the researchers were able to confirm that there was indeed a James Huston Jr. who had died in the war. Many of the details provided by Leininger matched those of Huston’s life.
While science has yet to fully understand the phenomenon of past-life memories and the possibility of reincarnation, these cases suggest that there may be some validity to the idea of multiple lives. Reincarnation is a common belief in many cultures and religions, where the Soul lives on beyond the years of this lifetime. Carrying within, its stories, memories, and histories from past lifetimes.
As a working psychic medium, I can attest that many of the gifts and recollections I have come from the teachings of Spirit that have been with me before I incarnated in this lifetime. On the journey to opening your intuition and connecting with Spirit, much of what we learn is simply remembering how to communicate through energy.
Psychics tap into the energy of one’s Aura, which is the parts of your Soul too large to fit inside your human body. Through the Aura, we can connect with past, present, and future, and your Soul’s memory holds all the secrets to your past lives.
However, some people can remember their past lives more easily than others. The Soul is you in your natural form, which you took before incarnating as a baby. Each Soul comes to Earth to experience exponential growth. In all the universes, Earth is one of the hardest schools but the most rewarding as it relates to expanding our souls’ growth. It’s here that we learn to master ourselves through our emotions and why when rearranged, Earth is the Heart. Love is our biggest and most challenging lesson.
People often experience the Soul’s memories through natural talents, such as sports, intuition, music, or specialised genius from a young age. Sometimes, the Soul recognises another soul from a different place or time, where there may have been history, which could be either good or bad even if we don’t remember cognitively.
What’s fascinating about past lives is how they can influence your current lifetime.
For instance, I recently worked with a client who had a strained relationship with her mother and an unexplained fear of the ocean. Through her reading, we discovered a past life where she had attempted to rescue her mother from drowning but tragically drowned herself just weeks before her wedding. This unresolved trauma carried over into subsequent lifetimes, manifesting as a pattern of anger and pain that resulted in her becoming a serial killer. By uncovering and understanding the root cause of her deep-seated resentment, she was able to finally heal and find closure. It was truly remarkable to witness her transformation as she no longer views her mother with resentment but instead with a newfound understanding and forgiveness.
If you have ever experienced any inexplicable feelings or memories that you cannot explain or have a sense of unexplainable familiarity with a person or place, it may be worthwhile to explore the possibility of past-life memories. Past life regression is a great alternative if you struggle with specific patterns or behaviours that you cannot pinpoint the root of the problem.
Through past-life regression therapy, you can work with a trained practitioner to access these memories and explore how they may be affecting your current life. Whether you believe in reincarnation or not, this approach can be a powerful tool for healing and personal growth. By understanding and releasing past-life trauma and negative patterns, you can free yourself to live a more fulfilling and joyful life in the present.
