The vision started while I was walking my dog on the wooded bike trails behind our house. I rounded a corner and came face to face with the body of a man out in the cold. His crisp blue eyes were trapped in a frozen gaze. I noticed the honey color of his hair and mustaches…a part of me recognizing him, yet I did not know him from this life.
As I watched, I saw myself drop down beside him from atop a horse, close his eyes with my fingertips and say a prayer as I silently took in how he had died. I heard my inner dialog speak of waste, it appeared he simply was unable to make it back to the settlement.
Initiating Past Life Memories
The above scene came to me not long after setting an intent to understand any past life lessons that held significance in this current life. I idea of past lives was unsettling to me at first. A part of me wanted to know and a part of me wanted to run away from whatever may have happened before. It was not until I became congruent with my desire to grow, and use past lives to do it, that I actually remembered one.
How Can Remembering a Past Life Help Now?
There are many ways in which remembering a past life can be helpful. Some will point out to you why you have always been attracted to certain time periods, cultures or ways of life, why certain places, people or things can seem so familiar or why you are locked in a certain pattern of behavior or in relationships with certain people.
Past lives represent the opportunity to resolve long standing resentments, passions, agreements and other forms of energy contracts we with make with others that carry on from lifetime to lifetime. With the past lifetimes resolved you can more easily fulfill your purpose in this one. 
It is a way of bringing all of the strength, knowledge and wisdom you acquired over the lengths of several spans of human existence into the life that you’re currently living.
How Do I Know if Something I’m Experiencing is Past Life Related?
First and foremost, ask yourself. Your spirit knows and will give you an honest answer. Some other ways of noticing telltale signs of past life experiences are instances of deja vu or a feeling of unfounded recognition and knowing, extremely strong emotional reactions that seem to be out of place for your current experiences and unexplainable attraction so deep that you seem to move without the permission of your mind toward this person, place or thing.
The Opportunity to Heal
Understanding ourselves from the perspective of a previous life time can make sense of some of the people and situations that surround us in our current one. Meeting people that we have history with can be very difficult in the here and now, understanding what that history is, helps us transmute the situation into an opportunity to heal.
I was atop a castle wall standing amongst loyal men and my husband, watching my knight ride forth into battle against another army. I saw him strong and shining fight on as his men fell around him until he was knocked from his horse.
I did not think, I simply leapt from the wall and turned into a great white dragon. I flew to him, sheltering him with my enormous body as I transformed back into myself. I was actually more fierce and wild looking as the woman! The men that had been surrounding him fled, their battle lust driven from them by the sight of the dragon.
Pulling his helmet from sweat soaked hair, I moved to support his head in my arms and noticed as I did the great gash in his torso. I placed my hand on the wound and prepared to heal him when he grasped my hand and said, “No.” He continued, “ There is no other place I’d rather die than in your arms…it’s better this way. This way, I can take our love onto the next life knowing that neither of us betrayed our vows for the of sake it.”
I buried my face into his neck and shoulders and wept. I could not act against his will and so we held each other until he took his last shuddering breath… “In the next life, my love,” I whispered, “In the next life.”
When I encountered this knight in my current life our roles were reversed. The attraction and need for a relationship with one another possessed a power of its own. So we lived through it once more, transmuting the bond that tied us together through time. Eventually, we were free, and moved on to the real reason we came into our here and now, wiser and better prepared…having learned from each other what it was that we really needed to share.
I know some people who are currently caught up in reliving past life interactions with each other. You never stop learning from past life experiences. They are powerful teachers when re-lived and they are even more powerful when transmuted, which leads me to the next subject.
Past Life Workshops & Coaching
I have plans of putting together some special workshops featuring past life integration, dream work & trance and a line of coaching that specializes in past life work. If you’re interested in the workshops please e-mail me, and I’ll get more information to you, I need to gauge interest before setting a date.
And if you found the story of this past/present romance intriguing and suspect that there is a lot more to this than I have mentioned here, I would like to say, that you’re intuition has not misguided you. Although it is too long for a blog post, I did include the story of this entire past life and all of the ways it unfolded into my current one, in my upcoming book.
Hopefully you’ll be able to satiate your curiosity for the details by Spring!
