Healing past lives

I have long attended healing sessions regularly, and I consider them essential to my self-care routine.

I have noticed a shift in my experiences during my healing journey over the past year. I often encounter past life memories that require my attention. I attribute this phenomenon to the extensive self-work I have done in addressing my past traumas in this lifetime. As I delve deeper into my healing process, unresolved issues from previous lives seem to resurface, demanding my continued focus and healing.

During my shamanic studies last year, I had a powerful experience. While practising a specific healing method called Brennan healing, I was receiving healing, and although the focus was not on past lives, memories from a previous life surfaced. I felt like I had been a settler in North America who was left behind by a group of men after a fatal injury.

Despite cursing them for leaving me, I convinced myself that I didn't care about them and was fully capable of taking care of myself - it seemed more sensible not to rely on anyone. In many ways, it was an exceptional experience, mainly because just a few days earlier, I had been considering watching episodes of Frontier with Jason Momoa, which is set in a similar period, almost as if I was being led to this meeting.

Exploring a past life is unnecessary unless it currently impacts one's life. I notice that past life reflection emerges when I need to address something that could enhance my present life. It is truly remarkable to experience a shift in oneself after undergoing such a healing process.

What stood out to me in this healing experience was reconnecting with a part of myself that had been lost in this lifetime. The day after the healing session, I felt a surge of masculine energy within me – I had the urge to build something or engage in weightlifting. My shaman teacher commented that I had rediscovered that settler that I once was.

This experience helped me understand why I struggled to integrate into groups. Trusting groups has always been difficult, as I tended to be distant and prepared to protect myself. However, after this healing process, I noticed a change. I healed an old wound and, for the first time, truly felt like a valued member of the group I was studying with.

Seeking past life healing can be beneficial when facing unexplained issues unrelated to your current life. We carry over certain aspects from past lives that we can address and resolve in this lifetime. For instance, phobias may stem from traumas in past lives. I, for one, have encountered intense fears of things and situations that have no connection to my present experiences.

I am afraid of making too many mistakes or letting people down. When I make a mistake, I often feel like I will face shame or even punishment, although I have never been physically harmed in my life. I have also felt extreme confinement, and the idea of being trapped in an avalanche or tunnels is a source of terror for me. I believe these issues will be addressed in my healing process at some stage.

In my experience, one can aim to address a particular fear or emotion in the healing process, but something entirely else may come up that is needed to resolve at that point in time. In one such instance, I meant to work on a particular issue, but instead, I recalled a past life memory as a child at a Catholic school. The environment was characterized by stringent rules that restricted freedom, and the emphasis was on feeling ashamed of being a sinner.

During this healing process, I managed to let go of a significant amount of shame and fear, which was incredibly liberating. However, I also realized the reasons behind my occasional struggle to embrace life fully. It was just not feasible in that particular moment and setting. My aim in healing is to free myself from the remaining fear and pain, ensuring that these emotions do not hinder me or impede my ability to lead a joyful life in the present.
