This is crazy to remember, but man the one day that always brings a calmness to my soul is a memory of taking a motorcycle ride from Fayetteville to Pensacola, the people I met, both positive and negative were so awesome. Had my bike packed from seat pad to the top of the sissy bar. It was crazy how one day I just decided to put a Gone on vacation sign at the shop, and just took off line that. Good times, good times.
Even before knowing about past live regression or even what reincarnation is i knew i had a brother in my past life that is not here with me in my current lifetime. I feel it in my heart that we had many lifetimes together in different relationship dynamics and at some point we were the same person(or soul). Since i was a kid i felt his absence and i remember we were really close maybe non identical twins in our past. All my life i felt like i’m mourning someone i dont know and i carried this immense sadness within me through my life. I dont even know if he even reincarnated and exists right now but i feel like he did not since he’d find me if he did and we’d cross paths eventually. I recently found out about past life meditation and trying to remember more about him. I cant put up with this heavy heart anymore and want to look for him(or her) in this life if there is even the slightest chance.
Do you think its possible to find someone from your past lives and even if it is should one do it?
If its possible what is the way to do it?
I had previously posted; When my son was 3, He said "I used to jump out of airplanes a long time ago during the war. I had a parachute and everything was okay. I wasn't shot at and we made it to the ground".
He is now 4, so has said less but I wanted to post the tidbits of info that I gathered over time...
- He was part of the British airborne forces
- He jumped into France
-He was shot on the ground and didn't make it to the medic in time
-He pointed to a jeep wrangler and said I used to drive one but mine looked different. It was smaller & was gray & white.
* I am half writing this to keep a record of things he has said : )
Hi there, I've had 5 past life regressions induced by a therapist and other memories that pop up randomly. I do regressions whenever I have major life changes to make. You can listen to an interview I did with Reality Sandwhich here! And review my writing on the topic here. Hoping to answer questions to help people start their own journey.
I was looking into past life regression and therefore thinking about reincarnation and their implications about the after life and souls. But the problem I ran into is humanities self importance. If this can happen for us where does it stop? Why would all animals not have souls to be reincarnated, and then all bugs, all micro organisms, where does it end?
Ever since my baby girl was 2-3 months old she has an instant reaction to Louis Armstrong’s It’s a Wonderful World. It instantly soothes her and it’s like she’s known the song in the another life. I never played it for her while she was in the womb, and it was a discovery we made my accident. She is almost 10 months old and when the song comes on, she stops what she is doing looks around, and smiles.
It’s incredibly endearing and I was wondering if others have had experiences like that with babies.
I’ve been connecting the dots regarding what could’ve been a past life. But of course I don’t feel confident just yet. There aren’t a lot of psychics or hypnotists in my area either. So, have any of you gotten this kind of reading online somehow?
in a previous post i talked about my deja vu and my past life reading; meeting a person from it. although i feel very grateful that i was able to remember some of that i kinda feel as if my life is kinda like a repeating blooper reel from the tv show quantum leap now. i kinda feel like i tapped into something and wasn't really supposed to know. has anybody else felt like this?
So basically I don't really quite believe in past lives but
The fact that I did a test on a random website telling me that I was a died or unborn child & that's why I don't have the experience by natural At anything
So in conclusion that's why I never learn from my faults keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again without learning without growing without notice what is wrong that's why I'm the most childish person in the room
All that I don't mean in a joyful or hyperactive way I believe it is the most negative mean you could get Again I don't believe in past lives and all these hippie stuff but
by chance to play in Random website that is Just made to steal people's money to give them advices for problems apparently they don't have
Just make me feel myself that if there was really past lives no way to be anything but died or unborn child
Any recommendations on guided meditation videos for this? I definitely want to see if I can access my memories
My sister kept having the same dreams growing up that she was in a concentration camp, and she had numbers tattooed on her arm. She always woke up from the dream feeling like she was suffocating. A few years ago, she saw a psychic. She did not tell the physic about her dreams, The physic told her that in her past life she died in the gas chambers during Nazi Germany. It made me wonder if there really is a past life.
I know this is random but do you guys know of any charms,crystals or whatever that can promote good luck and ward off curses,bad luck etc?
If ever at all you’ve had the experiences where you’ve met loves from previous lives in this life time and they’ve cursed you, what do you do to remove them, keep them out from your life? Especially when what you’ve done already to remove them doesn’t work? Thank you in advance.
When I was...17-18 ish...I kept having vivid dreams about being in Vietnam...instinct tells me that's where it was. And I remember taking a bullet, straight to the chest. That specific memory happened when I was 19. After that, they stopped. Never had another after that. Like I passed the age where I died before.
Then, a few years later, a friend of mine started dating this girl. When we met the first time, I immediately I felt a sense of comfort and familiarity toward her I hadn't toward anyone before. Both of us had a falling out with my former friend/her ex and this topic came up. Came to find out, she felt, in her words "a sense of peace and comfort" around me like I did her. Just neither of us were wanting to express that because of previous...engagements, for lack of a better word.
Now, however, both of us are beginning to wonder if we knew each other before, in past lives.
Frankly, it's fascinating.
Here is a video from more than 25 years ago (back when I had hair, LOL). The program was called Beyond Death and was shown on the History Channel.
I don’t no much about past life’s but I do believe we are eternal. There’s a guy I’ve met and dated 3yrs now who we recently broke up for about a year. For whatever reason I cant figure out why I’m not able to move on and I don’t mean that in a typical way. It’s just really strange to me considering other relationships I’ve never had this problem. We both try but it feels like there’s something holding us together and we both feel it. He’s told me “I don’t know know why but im not able to move on maybe that means something” I didn’t tell him but it’s exactly how I feel. I don’t want people to think like this is just a typical relationship we can’t get over it just feels like something more but I can’t figure it out.
I came across cherish perrywinkle / gabriel fernandez today and felt heart broken.
I read many times in this sub ( was just a lurker then, dint even join) that soul decides what they want to learn / experience in this life. These kids had abusive childhood and horrific ending. what could justify this? how would any soul want it?
We often don't realize that we are the reincarnated mystics and priests/priestesses, druids and spiritual teachers from times in history where it was normal to have a certain level of reverence and respect..
Especially when entering someone's sacred temple and their mystery school..
In this blog I dive deeper into what that could possibly look like for you and what boundaries we often don't feel like we are allowed to set, that are actually crucial for your online spaced if you want them to thrive as your online modern day mystery school...
I felt called to share this with you!
Does anybody dream of a past life? My husband has been vividly dreaming of D day since he was seven years old and felt a strong duty to serve - which he did at a very high level. He still dreams this dream that includes outdated equipment and tactics and overhearing French & German.
Hi! I find it hard to put this into words, but I've always felt strangely attached to the past century even though I was born in 2001. I've always felt familiar with hot, sandy US 60s ish towns, and I even feel nostalgic whenever I think about those years. It's really hard to explain, like I don't really know a lot about what happened during those years in the US because I'm not from there, but I always get this feeling of nostalgia whenever I think about the 1960s as if I had been extremely happy during those years.
I thought about this for years and I had even forgotten about it until I recently listened to the song "Ladyfingers" by Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass. That song sort of takes me back to a desert town with very few people living there, and again, I get this deep feeling of nostalgia as if I missed being there.
This is so deep that I even feel some kind of attachment for people I don't even know, like I feel I was profoundly loved during those years and maybe that's where the nostalgia comes from.
I don't know if someone has experienced something like that with this song or any other in general. I found this very interesting and I wanted to share it here with you. Thank you for reading!
I have always wanted to do one, but I don’t know where to go to do it. Is it done online? Is it done in person with someone live? Where would I even do it?
Thank you very much. I appreciate any help!
I'm not the most well-informed person on past lives, but I came across a realization that I felt like I should share.
Ever since I learned about them for the first time at age 10, I felt connected to the World Trade Center in an odd way, it felt like I missed them, the fact that they were gone, even though I wasn't alive when they were still standing, I was born after 9/11. But they felt special to me, especially certain parts, I felt like the North tower (the one with an antenna) was more significant to me than the south, as well as the Windows on the world restaurant on the 106th/107th floors (basically the top of the building), including the design of the steel on the outside on the building around that area as well, the way it was patterned. I also felt connected to the base of the towers, the shape of the trident like support pillars, and the plaza in between the two towers.
Normally I don't think this would mean much, but I have always been extremely curious about 9/11 as well, and earlier I was thinking about it, and I realized I have a somewhat large fear of heights, including the feeling of weightlessness. I had always hated steep rollercoasters because of this very reason, they made me feel incredibly unsafe and panicked.
Putting two and two together, I wonder if I was one of the people who jumped from the towers in a past life, maybe from the restaurant at the top of the North Tower. Maybe the reason I felt connected to the base of the towers and to the plaza was because that was the last thing I saw before I died?
EDIT: In addition, every once in a while when falling asleep, I get jolted awake because my body thinks it's in free fall, like it tricks me into thinking I'm falling straight down...I know this can happen to a lot of people, so I've heard, but maybe this has something to do with it?
More Edits (I'll update this with any new things I realize/notice)
For the past few years I’ve been trying to remember my past life and I’ve noticed the more I search eventually my brain starts to weigh down and I get exhausted this last for a few days until I recover and can search again but I can never constantly remember and I find at the most notable of sessions the day after I’ll be exhausted in terms of remembering any notable event even in this life.
Does anyone have personal experience and recommendations with someone who could perform a past life regression located in the Midwest? I am willing to travel if there are recommendations outside of my area. I am looking online and having a hard time telling who is legit.
I 26F started my journey reading about past lives and reincarnation through the book Journey of Souls by Dr Michael Newton.
I’ve had an extreme fear of death since childhood. Having panic attacks since a young age surrounding my fears of the unknown.It was spilling into my day to day life and my parents were very concerned. I never understood what scared me so much. Eventually I got a handle on it and I’ve been on a very up and down journey with my mental health my entire life.
Without too many details I’ve had a very hard life. I’m not saying that for sympathy but a fact. I’ve been surrounded by predatory men since childhood. I’ve been a victim of predatory men and behavior still into my 20s. I’m a very sensitive and empathetic woman. I try to see the best in others and it always bites me. I’m too trusting of others believing that they don’t have bad intentions. I have trouble forming deep relationships with others and my soul feels blocked somehow.
I’ve always been very interested in learning about myself. I’m deeply interested in genealogy, ancestry, astrology. Anything I can get my hands on to learn myself deeper but I never feel fulfilled. Some part of me has always felt empty and I can’t reach real happiness. It feels unattainable.
I’ve been hospitalized for my mental health. A doctor brought up hypnotherapy and it lead me to Journey of souls. In the book there’s a specific passage about a soul that harmed women badly in a previous life and so to learn and grow he came to earth to be a women that were abused by men in the same fashion. And it really resonated with me. Is that why my life feels like a cycle and pattern of dangerous men and seeing how they are capable of burning lives around them.
I’m terrified of hypnosis and meditation. I’m scared of what’s really deep in my mind. But I’m a damaged young woman with so much love and empathy and compassion for others how could I even be capable of vile things in a past life? I can’t even harm a fly in this life without being reduced to tears.
Someone I am close to (female, we can call her G) had had a reading by a medium some time ago. From what I was told from that session is that we knew each other from a past life.
The medium used guides to inform G of this. Said there were spirits/souls coming through, as well. It was a positive experience, all and all.
What was let known of the past life was in itself general information, nothing to get upset or worked up about. At the time we just thought it was fun.
Only some time after the reading took place I've had for a period of time experienced nightmares. I've been waking up around 3 am, 4 am.
Turns out G was also having trouble with sleep and nightmares, but even worse, sensing that "someone" is there with her, at times. She's also getting sick a lot these days (I'm not).
My nightmares began for weeks being normal nightmares about this life and not some old days in history, but now there's been a shift after it all took a break for a while and I thought that was all over with, was relieved. The shift is now that it's scenes from old days, historian days.
From what I've gathered from G is that there's only been nightmares, all sorts of situations about this (current) life for her as well. That was how it started with me. I have not told G that I have begun to have nightmares that remind me of the past life described by the medium, as I don't want G to feel guilt about asking the medium about the past life. I don't know what to do about it.
Did the medium accidentally wake something up, or something, a spirit or what ever, sneaked through? Is it possible?
I could have brushed off what was said about that allegedly past life, but I think I have found "proof" (or well, kinda) that took place few years back when I had a nightmare I've never been able to forget, it stood out. In the nightmare I was being married to my ex (in this current life) and I wore a special dress.
It was not until I googled the internet about that kind of dress in correlation to the country that I found out it had only existed in that country alone and only for a period of time, the 1860's to 1880's. I did this few days ago. It was indeed a wedding dress.
(My ex and I talked about getting married, but never did).
In the latest nightmare I've had I experience that a child (G?) is being punished in a way that I've come across happened in the 1870's.
The nightmares are so real to me that I wake up physically continuing where I left off in the dream, trying physically to get the the mad man away/off the child. It is not like me to get that physical. (I've never even understood how people can wake up in movies after their nightmares sitting up in bed).
It was obvious to me in the nightmare that this man was truly insane, a danger. Someone who should definitely not be around children.
The man who does this has a completely different body type than my ex had in both this current life and if true in the scene with the wedding dress, in that one as well, so I'm thinking it couldn't be him doing this. It does not look like him.
Could it be the spirit of the mad man going after the child (G?) is doing all this?
What should or could we do?
So there are specific nice fictional life stories I've written in my mind about myself and I sometimes like to fantasies about them. As far as i know these are just fictions i made up myself and I don't remember actually living them as my past life.
But still is it possible I actually have lived exactly each of those fantasies in previous lives but I just simply don't remember them?
i won't go into too much detail about it. but i was going to meet some one. i never met them before and i was never in that particular area. i had deja vu. now, i've had deja vu plenty of times before, most times i'd get weirded out but nothing happened, just kinda passed. but this time it felt different, i really felt like i was there before, the house, lights, door, road layout all felt familiar. i felt calm, like i was supposed to be there. the person i met seemed familiar in some way even though i never met them. it all seemed natural even though i am some one who has anxiety issues.
this really bothered me, wondering why this was like this. there was just something different about this experience and her. some people told me not to worry about it, it's probably nothing but i knew there was more to it. i really tried to separate things so i was clear headed about it. something was there, trying to tell me something but i had no idea.
a week later i went to get my tarot cards read and asked about the deja vu. the cards went apeshit; the reader (who is very good) was like wtf?!?!?! the spirit is going nuts! she then asked if she could do a past life reading/ regression and i said ok. i had done a hypnosis type regression before and really didn't like what i saw so i was kinda hesitant.
even though i didn't see images, i kinda felt things, memories and feelings of it. to kinda put it in context that i can understand; it was kinda like reading a book with my eyes closed. just a lot of pages missing and in a foreign language.
it make it short, me and this woman have met before in a past life. it was in the southeast of france about 20-50 years before the french revolution. she was in a noble family and i was a peasant in service to them taking care of the horses. we had an interest in each other but it was forbidden due to her status and me being a peasant.
i saw her again and told her about it; i was originally not gonna mention her, just about me being a peasant. but i decided to just tell her; not because i wanted to respark up an 18 century tryst or anything, but to just come clean so my conscience would be at ease. i know this experience was a lesson for me and no more. i don't think she knows or has any memories of it but she did enjoy me telling her about it. since then i've had some more 'glimpses' of that life. very warm and comforting. i kinda feel different now knowing i've met some one from a past life. how many people can say that?
i'm not one to just jump into believing anything. i'm a more "i want to believe" type of person. but i really believe in this even though i don't understand.
Those days where your casually busy at work and a song come on, instantly taking you back. On Friday I was doing motorcycle maintenance and ' There goes my baby ' by The Drifters comes on and damn, the flash back. Long story short my lady friend was hanging out with me, and as were listening to the song a simple glimpse of her gave me the idea of the paint job. It took her like a month to realize i did the bike in her favorite colors.
Chatting to my 3yo daughter about her dreams.
One was a bad dream of "angry Mr tumble with no shirt on" which I found hilarious, thought I'd share that before we begin. Lol.
Then she said another dream, she was in a plane and nobody was driving, and it broke into lots of tiny pieces and it was steamy and she hurt her knee.
That's wild to me. She's 3yo, hasn't been on a plane since she was 1, and doesn't watch anything not child-friendly/approved by mum and dad. Certainly nothing so traumatic as a plane crash.
I asked her to repeat it on camera and she said it was a toy plane with "pretend me" inside, but still said the thing about it being "steamy" and having hurt her leg.
Because she mentioned toy plane I asked if this was something that happened at nursery but she said "no it was in my dream".
It could just be her wild imagination, but idk man.
I don't want to give it too much focus so I'm not going to probe it further unless she talks about it again (I don't want to 'lead' her).
Anyone have thoughts on this?
