Last month we explored life lessons, karmic patterns and Soul Contracts as they pertain to relationships. In addition to those, past lives greatly influence our current relationships. We’ve had prior Soul contact with all our major personal relationships, and with those who’ve had an important impact on our lives. I will add here that we do not necessarily have karma with everyone we meet. For instance, in a job environment, we may be meeting some of our colleagues for the first time. What a relief-no karma to burn off!

If we pause and contemplate on how everything in the Universe fits together, we see beautiful patterns and symmetry. The same is true in relationships; we have karmic patterns with these Souls that gets played out in each incarnation. It’s no accident that your mother is your mother. You both made the Soul Contract in between incarnations to meet in this lifetime in these particular roles.

We can also transfer different life lessons to different Souls. We may have certain issues with a lover, and after breaking up, repeat the same pattern with our next partner. Is this a conspiracy? Yes, it’s a conspiracy of our own making. The beauty and reason of past lives is to experience all of humanity, and eventually master human consciousness. Reincarnation is a tool we utilize to continue our lessons if we don’t get them right the first time. It’s similar to attending different grades of school. As we get closer to mastery, the lessons become harder and more complex and demanding.

It’s easy to tell if we’ve met a person whom we know from a past life. If your heart flutters immediately when you first see them, or if there’s a strong attraction and sometimes a concurrent feeling of being repelled, trust your response. A person’s initial response is an honest one and is indicative of past life contact. Other signs are when a person falls in love and the other person just wants to be friends, could indicate that they’d been married in a past life and the partner married out of duty rather than love. Sometimes we meet someone who is like a father/mother figure even though they are younger. Another example is co-workers who fight like they are married, always in each other’s business. Sometimes people are trapped by patterns and are forced into reactions that are the result of these karmic patterns.

When lessons and patterns perplex us, we need help unraveling the threads and uncovering the root cause of why we’re having “issues” with another person. Past life therapy, also called past life regression, is a terrific way to discover our personal history with anyone. Sometimes I’m asked to do quick past life readings that don’t require client participation. That may shed light and awareness on the issues and can reveal the various relationships and patterns, but it’s a shortcut and does not always promote healing the relationship. Regression allows us to experience directly one or more lifetimes that are involved in current circumstances. The client is in an altered state of consciousness, such as hypnosis and are helped to find their own path to healing and empowerment. This often involves releasing dysfunctional patterns and coming to forgiveness.

If a client chooses a past life reading instead, they can acquire the knowledge but then must do the emotional work to facilitate the healing of the relationship. The awareness of past lives can lead to a clear understanding of what’s brought two people together, and the problems that can be resolved. If willingness is present to release the past and reach forgiveness, energy chords can be cut between them. Of course, in a complicated relationship with many lessons, energy chords can return simply because the client is thinking about the person.

Past life regression is useful for working on all kinds of physical, emotional and mental issues. In terms of relationships, I’ve seen remarkable and extremely quick turnarounds in terms of a client releasing a negative influence from their life. Unfortunately, some people have a lot of negative influences and we can be brought down with them if we don’t release them. If we let them go with love and forgiveness, we can create more positive circumstances in our life and open a door for more appropriate and heartful people to enter our lives. It benefits us personally and raises the vibration of the planet. As we evolve, so does the Earth.
