Your Past Lives

Ever experience "deja vu"? Where you just know you've been somewhere before? Met someone before?

What did they do to my rug?

One of the strongest experiences of "deja vu" I ever had was in the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. A group of us were touring an exhibit of Turkish carpets ... ancient rugs made of silk or wool. Some of them were several thousand years old, and still beautiful.

Then I walked past a 2000+ year old rug fragment, carefully sealed under glass on the wall. It clearly had seen better days.

An odd thought passed through my head: "What did they do to my rug?" I felt a strong sense of connection with it. At the same time, my rational side was thinking "Gee, that's odd." I backed up for a closer look and saw a mental picture of myself walking across this rug thousands of years ago when it was much newer...a grand carpet, in a large room that felt like home. Past life memories can come through this way--with an emotional connection or reaction that is hard to explain in present time reality.

Noticing Your Deja Vu Experiences

As a spirit, you treasure all of your past lives and the wisdom you have gained from each one of them. Some may have been wonderful, others not so great...but all have become part of your Akashic Records, your spiritual body of knowledge.

You don't need hypnotherapy to access your past lives. The veil between this lifetime and others is actually pretty thin these days. It's just a matter of noticing those "deja vu" experiences and asking what you can learn from them. You don't really need to remember all of the details--but it's nice to look at what you can learn from that lifetime, and how you can work with that to grow and learn in this one. Forgiveness always plays a big role, too....the more you can forgive yourself and others for past life experiences, the more you can move forward and grow as a spirit THIS lifetime!
