Oh, you may ask, but why does this happen?
We have asked for this (as our Higher Self).
For many of our past lives, we had repeated the same, negative pattern over and over. Always getting into codependent relationships, not having healthy boundaries, being taken advantage of and not speaking our truth, or maybe finding fault with everyone else but ourselves as a perpetual victim.
But this is the lifetime when we break the patterns. When we (along with those in our lives who agreed to play these roles) are met with similar challenges, we are given the option to make a different choice. And with our tools of quieting our minds and asking higher guidance for help (you have those tools right? If not, this Tools for the Awakening Soul book will help!), we pause and come at the situation from a new perspective. And if we don’t know how to respond, we can ask for help – “Please help me learn from this experience…”
I have found myself asking that question in the past few weeks more and more.
And then I just watch my emotions and allow them to guide me, to hopefully be released as I break the pattern….
The following excerpt from my Tools for the Awakening Soul book describes how our current situations show up based on past lives:
Learning about who we were in a different body can help explain what we are experiencing in our current ones. We are always evolving and growing in our souls. With each incarnation, we learn lessons to help us in our self-actualization toward becoming the best we can be. These lessons can center on forgiveness, self-love or compassion, for instance. To help us with these learnings, we work with the Masters in the Akashic Records (primarily) to decide what lessons we want to focus on learning in a particular lifetime. Recalling a previous lifetime can show us patterns we have subconsciously fallen into. Experiencing a past life can help us to recognize and release these patterns in waking life. A past life can give us insight into the ripple effect that our actions in previous lifetimes have on our lives today. When we see the connection between a previous incarnation with what is happening in our current life, we can begin to separate from that issue. According to the Law of Amnesia, with some exception, most adults have no memory of past lives. As they have recently been in the spirit realm, many children are able to recall past lives. This amnesia is Divinely-orchestrated. It would be no fun to open a birthday present if we already knew what it was. Similarly, if we knew exactly what we were here to do and how to do it, life would probably be quite dull. Thankfully, we still carry a cellular memory of all of our past lives deep within our astral/etheric bodies. When we get a glimpse of who we once were, just as you will be doing in this chapter, we can get clues on how to proceed with our healing and clearing what is no longer serving us. All of the experiences, emotions and beliefs we have acquired over thousands of years can accumulate in our light grids as both positive qualities and also as negative “junk.” Once we are aware of the reason behind a particular challenge in our lives (so we don’t feel we are just “doing it wrong”), we can stop being so hard on ourselves. When we see that the issue at head is just a remnant of a past life, we can release any self-blame or shame about experiencing this issue in the first place. Instead, we find a fresh perspective and allow that challenge to help us learn and grow.
By experiencing a past life regression (or a full life-between-life regression, which includes accessing past life), we get to the source of where this pattern began to then release it once and for all.
You are not alone in this awakening path. So many of us are here with you!
