Revisiting Past Lives To Resolve Present Day Problems
Past Lives Have you ever found yourself searching for answers to a problem that is irresolvable. A problem that has not emanated from your present life. Perhaps, the answers can be found in one of your past lives. If this is the case, stop looking at the present for answers. Instead, look way back to a time long ago, but not forgotten. Since childhood, I was always searching for answers to an inexplicable inner feeling I had. Although I was living in this world, I felt I was part of another world- a world of long ago. My search took me to a land on the other side of the world- Egypt. While there, I found myself desperately searching for answers, only to find more confusion. It was during my second trip to Egypt that I found some comfort. I remember a far away voice saying, "You are connected to the Egypt of the past, not of the present." Although it was not a full explanation, it was enough for me. It provided me with some gratification. It was several months later, while attending a spiritual gathering, that all of the whys to my questions were answered. My search had finally come to a halt. I had liberated myself. The past was no longer interfering with the present. I had made the connections between the present and the past, and understood the immense impact it had on my present life. Go to Ancient Egypt -A Mystical Place to read more on the above mentioned experience. Many years ago, a dear friend of mine told me a captivating story. It was a story in which past and present lives were intertwined. Since childhood, my friend had experienced many physical ailments which provided no medical explanation. She suffered from physical debilitation and depression. Even though she had no visible physical deformity, she felt as if one leg was shorter than the other causing her to walk, at times, with a slight limp. When speaking, she would find it difficult to express herself. Although mentally she knew what she wanted to say, the words appeared to be stuck and unwilling to come out causing her to stammer. Due to all of the above mentioned, she began to slowly detach herself from all those around her. Her childhood appeared to be quite normal. She had loving parents who were more than willing to do everything in their power to make her well. Being the youngest of three children, her siblings were very warm and loving towards her. From everything she related about her childhood, there appeared to be no concrete reason for her depression and physical state. During her many visits to the doctors, they were unable to come up with any medical explanation as to the cause of her physical debilitation and state of mind. Feeling that her problem was psychological, she was referred to a psychologist. She was given a battery of psychology tests which demonstrated no abnormality. It was during her college years, while studying psychology, that she began to develop an interest in hypnosis. She had read about the benefits of hypnosis, and wondered if it could help her in some way. She decided to visit a hypnotist, who was also a psychotherapist. The first two sessions were very relaxing, but of no great significance. She did not witness any changes in her behavior. Although she was ready to call it quits, she decided to go for one more session. It was on the third session that she experienced a breakthrough. The following is an account of the session given by my friend. “The session begins as the previous sessions- relaxing and letting go. The difference in this session is that I find myself in a tunnel walking forward, or is it backwards. I don’t know. The tunnel is dark, and I am completely alone. I reach the end of the tunnel and walk out. As I look around, I find that I am in the middle of what appears to be an African village. There are several huts around me. As I look at my body, I see that I am in the body of a naked child. I am a little girl sitting outside a hut. A woman comes out of the hut and takes me inside. She appears to be my mother. She has prepared a drink made of water and herbs. She gives me some to drink. Now, I am in the body of a much older child. I am the same child as before, but much older. My body is deformed- one leg is shorter than the other causing me to walk with a limp. Although my hearing is okay, I am unable to speak. There is much sadness inside of me. Due to my deformity and lack of speech, I am considered bad luck. I am not loved. I have an older sister who treats me with contempt. She gets great pleasure of mocking me and making me the laughing stock of the village. I am a bit older now. A marriage has been arranged. I don’t think it was easy. Some live stock has been given or exchanged. I move into my husband’s hut hoping that things would be different, but it’s not. My life is worst than before. I have no family or friends. I am alone in the world. My husband is cold and uncaring. He does not try to communicate with me. I am just an object of no value. Sex is just that. There is never a show of affection or caring. I have three sons. Their behavior towards me has changed. Yes, my husband has turned them against me. They no longer come to me. They pass by me as if I don’t exist. I am all alone. I am much older now. My body is very tired and worn out. My husband is no longer around, and my sons have gone, never to be seen again. I have been alone for many years. Now, that I am sick, some of the villagers leave food on the outside entrance of the hut, but never come in. Right now, I am feeling very tired. I am resting. I am going into a deep sleep. My last sleep. I see my spirit leaving my body. My spirit lingers on. Since the food has not been touched, the villagers go into the hut and discover my body. My body is taken out of the hut and burned. The bones are buried. A short ritual is performed so that my spirit can move on and not hang around in the village." End of session. "I come out of the trance with tears in my eyes, and a sense of inner balance and peace. It’s a feeling I can not pull into words. It is something you feel, but can not fully express. The experience was awesome.” After a month or so, my friend began to see changes in her person. The feeling of having one leg shorter than the other disappeared. She was no longer walking with a slight limp. As for her speech, it was incredible. The transformation was unbelievable. The stuttering stopped completely. Her self confidence soared. She no longer shied away from social gatherings, rather she looked forward to them. Her health issues and depression disappeared. She had become a new person.
