Today I'm thrilled to be bringing you a guest post on a subject I find fascinating: past lives.
Have You Been Here Before?
When I was in my early twenties I had a couple of remarkable experiences that were triggered by emotionally traumatic events. They opened my eyes to the possibility that this was not my only lifetime.
Wild West Showgirl
The first man I ever “fell in love with” dumped me and I was very upset. According to my friends more so than I needed to be; yet I felt as though my whole world was ending.
At the time I kept a dream diary. I had a lucid dream that I was a travelling show girl in the Wild West. I fell in love with a man and got pregnant. As I thought we were in love, I expected him to care for me. Instead I was rejected and shunned by him and his family. An older lady in my troop “helped me” get rid of the baby. In the process I lost my life.
The current boyfriend and the Wild West boyfriend, looked different, but I knew it was the same soul in both bodies.
Medieval Wheelwright
I had a good friend at University, whom I shared a flat with. We were very close and shared everything with one another. After our third flat mate moved out, we acquired a new one. I soon began to feel that my friend was “seeing him.”
Yet when I asked her she denied it, so it did not make sense. I couldn’t see why she would have a reason to lie. One night, determined to find out the truth, I stayed awake and listened. At about 1:00 am I heard my friend tip toe into his bedroom and my suspicions were confirmed.
I was overcome by anger and grief. Yet my emotions did not make sense, given our platonic relationship. In my anguish I became beset with visions of another time. I was in a male body and married to my friend. She had been unfaithful to me with a man, who lived in a nearby castle. I had stormed over and stabbed him and killed him in my anger.
The next morning I spoke with my friend and she told me the truth. I shared my vision and she looked shocked. Her lover was awake all night, with visions of being stabbed.
These two experiences triggered a fascination with reincarnation.
Becoming and Experienced Past Life Reader
Since then I have remembered many hundreds of my own past lives. So many, I no longer record them. I have been male, female, rich poor, lived in every continent on earth and belonged to every racial group and religion. I have lived high profile lives and insignificant lives, been a spiritual teacher than helped many people
and a battle worn knight, who took away many lives.
At first I was able to recall these other existences through my dreams, but this soon led me to explore further. At first I focused on my own personal development and spiritual evolvement (i.e. I cleared my karma). Then I learned how to access past life information at will through meditation and other spiritual techniques. Now I focus on using my spiritual abilities to help and heal others and have done thousands of past life readings.
This is some of what I have learned:-
How Many Past Lives do People Have?
This is different for everyone. Every soul has a unique path
and so a unique number and variety of lifetimes are required to fulfill that
path. I read that Buddha had between 500-2000 lives before he reached
enlightenment and (according to Edgar Cayce) Jesus had about 30. Looking at my
own clients; I have seen old souls who have been incarnating on earth since the
beginning and who have accumulated many experiences in many different bodies; I
have also seen young souls: from new arrivals to those who joined in the game
on Earth part way through.
Are You Wiser if You Have Had More
Lives?
Not necessarily. I have met wise people who are in their first earthly life.
They have come here from another reality (yes there are other worlds in our
universe, but that’s for another article); in this instance they are an old
soul, but new to Planet Earth. I have also met people who have been stuck on
the same problem for many, many lifetimes. It just depends on the individual
soul and the growth experience that is right for them.
How to Know If You Were Here Before?
There are some common experiences that could indicate that you are tuning
into a past life:-
Have you ever met somebody for the first time and felt as though you know
them already? Well they probably are a dear old friend from another lifetime?
Have you ever visited a city or place, perhaps while on vacation, and
felt that you had been there before? Well you most likely have.
Did you take up a new hobby and find you already knew exactly what you to
do? You may well be drawing from expertise developed in a past life.
Did you ever dream that you were someone else (i.e. taller, shorter, fatter, thinner, in the
opposite gender, different colored skin) living in surroundings from another
era?
Do you have fears of things that don’t make sense to you? Like being
burnt alive, falling from a high building, or even being eaten by a tiger?
These fears may relate to a past life experience.
Another good indicator is that if you are fairly well able to look after
yourself; you can create a job, an income, supporting relationships and so on.
If you are not living at a basic survival level, then it’s likely you have
learnt a few tricks about being in a body and probably were here before.
In fact if you are reading an article about past lives, then it’s a clear
message that you are at a stage in your spiritual development where you are
ready to learn who you really are and why you really are here.
There is so much more I would like to tell you, but unfortunately this
article can only fit so much information. You can visit my website to read more
about past lives.
Or perhaps you’d even like to embark on your own journey of discovery, by
starting your own dream diary, meditating on current life situations and
relationships or even visiting a past life reader or regression therapist.
Her book “The Midas Tree” will be published on November 11th 2012. The book can be pre-ordered from the website and if you write the words “golden acorn” after your name, you will also receive a free limited edition print signed by the author.

I am always so curious about this subject and wonder if we aren't as souls to repeat our lives in some way over and over until we get it right. Ya know how some people just seem to have an easier time of it..like they are older souls?
I definitely know what you mean! And I've had experiences where I've felt like I've known a person for a really long time, when I've only known them a short time.
This is actually an awesome post. I've always been very interested in this subject!
