Do you spend time daydreaming? As a child, I would spend an enormous amount of time daydreaming. In the evening while doing the dishes, I would stare into the window above the sink and it was as if I was transported back in time.
I remember a hill covered with what appeared to be sun-ripened wheat. A young woman, dressed in a long cotton dress with a white bib apron, stood in the middle of the field. She stared down the hill towards a thatch covered cottage.
This memory burned vividly in my brain. As a child, I swore that woman was me. Of course, my parents told me I really had an active imagination, but was it?
Is it possible I was remembering a past life? As a hypnotherapist who specializes in past life regression, I believe it is possible.
Each time we are born, we bring with our soul memories of the past. We don't have any experiences in this life recorded in our unconscious mind, therefore we don't think the same way adults do in terms of imagination.
Has your child told you stories that you are completely amazed at where the information came from? Are you, or your child, focused on items that draw you like magnets? These could be memories from a past life that have come through with you into this life.
Children may talk about their past lives, and they may try to keep living them. They may bring mannerisms, skills and habits with them when they come into this life. Does your child have a "natural" creative ability, excellent rhythm or coordination? Can they do things that you have no idea where they could have learned how to do them?
Children may experience past lives through dreams or nightmares. You may find them trying different skills or games that they uncovered in their dreams. The key to the process is the child's ability to imagine. The more they are allowed to imagine in a positive way, the more clues you will receive as to what they have recalled.
As we grow older, we sometimes close off these thoughts, these memories. Yet, on the other hand, you may collect something that you just can't explain the reason for, you just are attracted to them. They make you feel good, or they strike a cord in your soul.
Have you ever walked into a place and instantly knew you'd been there before, yet you know positively that you were never there in this lifetime. This is called deja vu.
Do you have a mistrust of people, a fear of something that you have no explanation for, or a habit that you can't for the life of you figure out why you developed it? Perhaps you'll find the answer in a past life.
Perhaps you'll find that your best friend, spouse, son or daughter, has been with you for more than this lifetime. Perhaps you'll discover why you really can't stand to wear a turtleneck sweater.
Aren't you just a little bit curious now? I know I am.
Namaste,
Sue
