How Your Phobias, Irrational Fears & Recurring Nightmares Are Keys To Healing Past Life Trauma
When I was a young child I had a repeated vision – which only ever happened at night – that there was a fire downstairs in the living room of our family home. I remember waking my Mum up in the middle of the night and begging her to come downstairs to check with me whether there was “a fire behind the chair.” Even though it was highly unlikely, as there were no gas or electrical outlets in the vicinity, my little mind was 100% convinced that a fire had broken out in the corner of the living room and we were in danger. With my Mum reluctantly in tow, we went downstairs to check, only to find no signs of fire.
From a young age I’ve had a tendency towards strange bouts of hypervigilance. It was often difficult for me to switch off at night and fall asleep – especially when I was on my own. Even during daylight hours when we would go on long road trips, rather than just drifting off to sleep when I was tired, I would insist on informing everyone in the car, “I’m just resting my eyes.” What an odd thing to hear from a five year old in a bumper seat!
Several decades later in 2013, I was completing my Level 1 Soul Realignment Certification. As part of a reading swap, I received a general reading from another Soul Realignment Practitioner who revealed to me that in a past lifetime I was a mother of two children who both died while playing with an untended fire while I slept in the next room.
That experience understandably stung my past self with incredible guilt and I was unable to forgive myself for the remainder of that lifetime, so I held onto the karma and the trauma was highlighted in my soul-level memory system – as such the memory echoed into present life unbeknownst to my conscious mind, yet expressed via those idiosyncrasies. Side note: The lady who did my reading had no prior knowledge about my childhood experiences.
A couple of years ago, I did a Soul Realignment reading for a client, which revealed that in a past life she had experienced a vehicle accident in which she was the driver and having lost control of the wheel, she veered into a lake, resulting in the death of everyone on board, including several children. When I presented the findings of the reading to her she resonated deeply with a feeling of unexplained guilt and self worth issues in present life and she also shared with me that even though she loved to swim, she had a strange fear of deep water – especially lakes. Just like the lady who revealed my past life experience to me, I had no knowledge of my client’s fear of deep water before doing her reading.
How does past life karma echo into present life?
If left unresolved before the end of an incarnation, the emotional and psychological imprints from traumatic past life experiences are held vibrationally in our soul-level energy field and these imprints can perpetuate into present life, causing us to experience limiting circumstances, persistent fears, or troubling experiences – most often without knowing why.
Unresolved karmic patterns can cause us to experience personal conflicts, attract financial struggle, stay stuck in unhealthy relationships, or experience unwanted circumstances that mirror past life experiences. Some past life experiences of physical trauma can play out as chronic physical issues in present life. These traumas can influence the way we navigate life, causing us to repeat the same cycles without understanding why.
How can we heal past life karma?
That’s where a Soul Realignment session can be so illuminating. The Akashic Record reading reveals the energetic root cause of the issues we are experiencing in present life. It helps us to clarify how we can break negative cycles and take soul-aligned action that reconnects us with our inner peace and personal power.
Gaining consciousness of what lies at the root of our persistent issues is the first step in healing. By recognising how these these deep-rooted imprints were created and the choices that sustained them, we can then consciously choose to release them. By combining this intention for clearing with Soul-aligned action, we can be free from past burdens and step into a more empowered and intentional present life experience.
