Benefits Of Exploring Past Lives for Personal Growth!

Embarking on a journey into the depths of your soul is a fascinating experience.

Have you ever found yourself pondering the mysteries of your lives?

Wondered about the essence of your existence?

Exploring past lives for personal growth is an intriguing pursuit; however, it’s crucial to remember the significance of the present life.

When we explore past lives we gain awareness of your behavioural patterns from a distance, bringing insights from your soul’s past into the present. At times this makes it easier to truly understand what is happening currently.

Past lives exploration can encourage us to examine aspects of ourselves that we often choose to overlook.

However, I’ve observed many individuals using their interest in past life exploration as a way to avoid taking responsibility for their contributions to their life experiences.

When we explore past lives it is meant to inform and guide us, emphasizing the importance of soul accountability rather than evading self-responsibility.

If you explore past lives, the information should provide insight into your reactions, decision-making, and the dynamics that attract you to specific relationships.

Personal Reflection: During a session with a client facing emotional challenges, I identified a past life where they had endured horrific long-term abuse. To be honest, most of us have experienced forms of abuse, such as hangings, burning at the stake, or slavery.

In an unexpected response, the client eagerly proclaimed, “I’ve always known I was a victim!” as they sought to affirm a newfound sense of entitlement to justify their self-abusive victimhood.

They used the past life reading as confirmation that this proved their belief they had always been a victim, and had no input into what had been creating the emotional challenges they’d faced. I explained that this wasn’t the case; “its one life and you have experienced many.”

Instead of acknowledging that life and the journey of souls is a complex array of experiences they fixated on their victimhood.

They developed a co-dependency on proving that their soul had been victimized in every life, using this belief to reinforce a sense of victimhood entitlement.

They manipulated others, disguising their actions through a sense of reactive victimhood, which became the root cause of numerous emotional upheavals. Unfortunately, they believed it was justified and they were not responsible for acting out because of all the stored victimisation the client believed they’d endured rendered them a victim to their soul history.

I tried to explain what needed resolving was the attitude toward their victimhood entitlement.

A year later this person returned for another session, demanding I reveal another past life. They complained about the money they spent attending numerous sessions with others providing similar services. They had been on the chase, addicted to gathering information about past lives.

Of cause every life they recounted has them victimised, many felt authentic to me, some I debate.

We discussed the emotional motive of the demands and the compulsion that had developed. I explained that I allow past lives to reveal themselves; I don’t usually chase them. I read them easily when relevant to current situations, otherwise I don’t get a lot of details, more an overview.

A past life did reveal itself, but, interestingly, this time the person was a vindictive abuser and victimised many; contradicting the narrative they were trying to establish.

I explained that our soul has experienced lives in various cultures, held different authority positions, and we have had to navigate societal expectations and the ways of the era we are born too.

It was revealed that in this past authoritarian position, they had abused power and mistreated hordes of vulnerable individuals.

Contrast is a fundamental aspect of our learning, and understanding we’ve all experienced diverse types of lives. Some of these lives still influence us and underscore the significance of choice, integrity, and compassion.

This information presented an opportunity for the client to be honest about what they were protecting – their identity as a victim. Victimhood had become both an identity and a manipulative tool.

Despite experiencing terrible childhood abuse, using it as justification for emotionally abusing others only resulted in creating more victims.

They were confronted with the internal reality of their relationship with victimhood, realizing that in circumstances conducive to their control, they were prone to being abusive. Even today the client was seeking to justify their emotionally abusive behaviour instead of addressing the root cause motivating them.

Their current desire to explore past lives, was revealing the co-dependency on victimhood and the sense of entitlement to use it to control others.

Now, they are presented with an opportunity to address the beliefs, fears, and unresolved emotions that have sustained this potentially long-held behavioural pattern. This brings us back to the power of choice! The purpose of past lives exploration is to inform us so at the crossroads of choice we can make informed decisions.

 

Past lives fascinate those who have a deep feeling of having been here before. For me, it is a given! When you connect with your soul, you sense the history it carries. You may not recall specific details, but there is an awareness of having lived many lives.

Personally, past lives provide context to the hows and whys of some unexplained feelings. In the past, I’ve used this understanding to gain insights into current events and to reassure myself that my soul journey is more profound than initially perceived.

 

Exploring past lives for personal growth can be a transformational journey if you use the information wisely!

 

Understanding Past Life Regression:

 

What exactly is past life regression?

Past life regression is akin to taking a stroll down memory lane, though not reminiscing about childhood memories. It involves delving into the depths of your soul, uncovering events and long held beliefs, fears and desires from the history of your soul.

It’s akin to time-traveling through the developmental history of your soul and humanity. Trust me, the insights can be mind-blowing, requiring you to use all your senses.

Some experience it as looking through a blurry glass, while others describe it as a mini-series sensed through feelings. For some, it involves seeing images, smelling scents, and hearing sounds hidden in deep memory.

Many find the experience so immersive that they relive emotional reactions and deep-seated feelings, while others may have rapid-fire images that require their other senses to slow down the process.

The exploration of past lives for personal growth is tapping into your soul knowing and you’ll feel the authenticity of it as it resonance with you!

You don’t have to be a die-hard spiritual guru to explore past lives. It’s for anyone who’s curious, open-minded, and ready for a bit of soul-searching. Consider it a personal journey—a way to connect the dots and make sense of your unique life (soul) story.

 

7 Benefits of Exploring Past Lives:

 

Past lives exploration significantly impacts our self-perception and can greatly benefit individuals. It’s important to remember that what we uncover is just a snapshot, and lifetimes are complex.

As mentioned, I’ve also witnessed past life addiction, where individuals use the pursuit to justify their actions and avoid self-responsibility. Some chase past life information to ignore the choices that created in their current life situations, preferring to see themselves as victims of history repeating.

Unlocking the past reveals why we made certain choices, but it doesn’t make us victims, but it does reveal our inner influences.

We’re on a journey of self-discovery, and events unfold to help us recognize patterns. Past life awareness assists in this process, with the goal of taking responsibility for our soul journey and potential evolution.

Ignoring the opportunity and benefits of exploring past lives creates a disconnect, potentially increasing co-dependency on others due to perceived entitlement based on soul history.

It’s essential to be mindful that past life awareness should not sustain harmful beliefs or encourage spiritual bypassing.

Despite these cautions, exploring past lives offers profound benefits for personal growth, emotional well-being, and spiritual development. Here are some major advantages:

 

1. Healing Unresolved Traumas:

Exploration of past lives serves as a tool to unearth and heal unresolved traumas that originated in previous lifetimes and still impact us today.

Understanding an initial event empowers us to address the root causes of current emotional wounds. The historical distance allows our over-zealous protection mechanisms to subside, and our willingness to explore steps forward.

Unlocking deep memories is particularly helpful for those experiencing unexplained emotional reactions and attractions. Individuals may experience profound realizations after recognizing their emotional patterns, leading to self-honesty, healing, and relief. This presents a self-discovery opportunity, offering liberation from emotional baggage and improving mental and emotional well-being in current lives.

 

2. Personal Growth and Self-Discovery:

When we explore past lives it is a potent method for personal growth.

I’ve observed that past lives are often revealed when we’re at a crossroad of choice.

Are we going to repeat past patterns, or venture into the unknown?

Understanding the patterns, choices, and challenges from past lives provides insights into our current personalities. Some of the personality traits developed for survival in past lives may now be holding us back.

When we explore past lives it offers an opportunity to reevaluate where we’ve been and acknowledge the lessons learned. Recognising it is time to apply what was already learned but forgotten is empowering – if we choose it to be.

This presents a personal growth opportunity, fostering increased self-awareness and a deeper understanding of one’s strengths and weaknesses, leading to personal development and a more authentic sense of self.

 

3. Insights into Current Life Challenges:

Interpreting past lives offers valuable insights into recurring themes and challenges in our present lives. It alleviates panic and fear, as we realize we’ve faced extreme challenges before.

Past lives exploration shifts our perception of life and our immortal existence. This awareness empowers individuals to break free from negative patterns and make more soulfully informed choices.

It motivates us to strive for better because we’ve already paid the price of admission, having done the reconnaissance. This enhances self-resilience, improving problem-solving skills, decision-making, and a sense of empowerment in facing current life challenges.

 

4. Strengthening Spiritual Connection:

Viewed as a means to deepen one’s spiritual connection, past life exploration involves tapping into the soul’s journey across lifetimes. This may involve discovering soul contracts, understanding life purposes, and connecting with higher aspects of the self.

Spirituality is about ‘knowing thyself,’ and our past lives can be a part of this self-discovery journey. This offers a spiritual growth opportunity, fostering heightened spiritual awareness, a sense of purpose, and a feeling of interconnectedness with the universe.

 

5. Releasing Fears and Phobias:

Past life regression is effective for addressing and releasing irrational fears and phobias that have no apparent cause in the current life.

Personal Reflection: I had a client whose eight-year-old child would panic around cars in carparks. The child would put their back against any wall and side-step as if they were walking on a ledge from great heights.

This behavior started suddenly, and no one could explain why!

Crossing a road often led to detours to distant traffic lights even when no cars were visible.

It was discovered that in a past life, the child had died at eight years old from a vehicle accident. The past life was discussed, but the child didn’t change their behavior until their ninth birthday, and then instantly, the behavior changed. (Fascinating!)

Acknowledging the root cause of a phobia presents a self-awareness opportunity, allowing individuals to experience relief from unexplained fears and fostering a more liberated and fearless approach to life.

 

6. Improved Relationships:

Past lives exploration for self-personal sheds light on the dynamics of relationships and connections with others. Understanding the shared history with certain individuals may lead to improved communication and stronger bonds.

Past lives can illuminate the structures of previous relationships to explain current behaviors and attitudes. Patterns, even in relationships, tend to repeat.

This presents relationship opportunities, fostering enhanced empathy, compassion, and a greater ability to navigate relationships with a deeper understanding of shared histories.

 

7. Overcoming Blockages and Limiting Beliefs:

Exploring past lives can unveil the origins of current blockages and limiting beliefs, allowing individuals to address and overcome them. This self-discovery can lead to a more empowered and fulfilling life.

Personal Reflection: I had a client who struggled with fear of humiliation. Despite significant achievements, they feared accolades and lived in constant fear of major attention. This caused them to sabotage themselves if the achievements were getting noticed.

Through past life exploration, it was revealed that in a previous life, they had been falsely accused of a crime they didn’t commit, leading to unjust punishment.

This experience had created deep-seated trust issues and fear of judgment. Understanding the origin allowed the client to work through these issues and overcome their fear of judgement.

Identifying and addressing the roots of blockages and self-limiting beliefs presents us with a self-empowerment opportunity, allowing individuals for a more empowered and fulfilling life.

 

In Conclusion:

 

Past lives exploration is a profound journey that offers opportunities for healing, growth, and self-discovery.

While it can provide valuable insights and benefits, it’s crucial to approach it with a balanced perspective, avoiding the pitfalls of past life addiction and spiritual bypassing.

The key lies in using past life awareness as a tool for self-responsibility, acknowledging the choices made in past lives, and applying those lessons to the present. It’s not about victimhood; it’s about soul accountability.

Through past life exploration, individuals can release unresolved traumas, foster personal growth, gain insights into current life challenges, strengthen their spiritual connection, overcome fears and phobias, improve relationships, and address blockages and limiting beliefs.

It’s a transformative journey that, when approached with mindfulness, can lead to a more liberated, empowered, and fulfilling life.
