Exploring Your Past Lives: 3 Things You Will Learn About Yourself
Do you remember your past life? It's okay if you don't. Past lives are a unique concept, but they're a fascinating way to understand yourself — plus, they also make a great topic of philosophical conversation. Without diving too far down the rabbit hole of quantum physics and spirituality, past lives, or alternate lives, refer to a life you lived outside of this one. But the 'you' I'm referring to is your soul or spiritual essence. While your soul is eternal, your body is not, so the lifetime you perceive here on Earth — from birth to death — is only a small part of your soul's cyclical journey. Past Lives offer an invaluable perspective on who you are at a soul level, your life purpose, and what you're meant to learn through karmic lessons.
01. Who You Are Is More Than Skin-Deep
There is far more to who you are than your appearance, accomplishments, and achievements. However, as humans, we tend to fixate on these things and equate our worth to false identities. Exploring your past lives will foster a newfound appreciation for who you are as an eternal soul. There's no better way to appreciate your truest essence than to explore a life you lived in a different body.
02. The Past Is Connected To Your Purpose
Your past lives have contributed to the person you are today and will illuminate how you become the person you are today and what you should be doing to support your soul's growth and expansion. If you missed out on love in your past life because you were too busy chasing your dreams, you might feel a deep calling to search for your soulmate in the present. Maybe you sacrificed your dreams to raise a family or help others succeed in your past life, and now it's finally time to put yourself first. Or perhaps, you lived recklessly and chased every adventure that life had to offer, making this life the ideal time to build solid foundations for yourself. If you're feeling stuck on how to move forward in life, you will gain tremendous clarity from shining the light on your past.
03. Karmic Lessons Don’t Have To Be Confusing
Some of your past life memories and experiences are stored within your mind and influence your instinctual thoughts and behavior. If you aren't aware of these subconscious wounds and fears, you may declare that your behavior is 'just who you are', rather than acknowledging it as a reflection of your unresolved karma. Exploring your past lives will help you understand your karmic behavior — such as self-sabotage, hiding your vulnerability to avoid getting hurt, or being emotionally reactive and defensive — so that you can break free from these unconscious cycles.
