There is a universal fascination with the concept of soul mates and past lives.
Do we reincarnate to live our lives again in different ways and do we have unique connections with other souls, that go beyond death and span many lifetimes?
Personally, I believe that, yes, absolutely we do.
I believe strongly that our souls are eternal and that we choose to recincarnate many times over to live our lives with certain souls, learning our life lessons and playing out our destinies with each other.
We do have a life path and purpose, a certain fate and destiny.
We also have choice and while I do believe that certain events and meetings in our life are predestined, we also have many choices that we make along the way and many elements that we have personal control over.
When it comes to past lives and soul mates, have you ever met someone that you felt you knew immediately? Someone who, upon getting to know them, it felt more like you were “picking up where you left off”?
These relationships often happen quickly and you feel like you have known each other for years in a very short period of time. There is sometimes a feeling of “home” with this person and a comfort that you rarely feel with others.
Or, depending on the the energy and past lives you have shared, there can also be a strong but not always pleasant feeling between you. Not all past life experiences are positive and not all soul mates are of the good variety.
We also have karma with certain souls and we can meet up to clear or “play out” that karma, to ensure we do not make the same mistakes again in this lifetime or to learn from them in a way that, while not always enjoyable, can be nonetheless very important to our soul’s growth and purpose.
There is a lot of focus in society on soul mates of the good kind - and we all love and embrace the soul connections that are loving, nourishing and deep - but we often don’t focus so much on the less pleasant variety. This can lead people to assume that if they feel a bond or deeper connection with someone, that it must be a good thing or that they must be with that person. It’s important to be wary if this person treats you in an abusive way or behaves in a toxic manner. The lesson could be to not be with them and to change the patterns between you.
I believe that there are many different kinds of soul mates; romantic partners, close friends, children, parents, siblings……that soul connection can manifest in so many ways, not just the romantic kind. It is anyone we feel a strong soul bond with. We often reincarnate with the same set of souls over many lifetimes and I have found that family members who do this often keep reincarnating as family. Sometimes we repeat the same relationships over many lives and other times they will vary in order for us to learn our lessons - we decide all of this before we incarnate into this lifetime. And, of course, we have those souls who we very much choose to not share any more lives with!
Some souls we meet and know only briefly, despite having shared a past life, while others will have a key role throughout our lives. I have met people who I shared a romantic bond and relationship with in a past life, who I only knew briefly, as a friend, in this life - much like we simply had to “check in and say hi” in this life.
Personally, I will often have flashbacks to past lives that I have shared with a soul when I meet them or get to know them. I always find it fascinating and my clients often have past lives and soul mates that feature in their readings and these relationships can affect their current lives.
I have experienced wonderful soul connections and also the not so wonderful variety. Some have even been downright scary. I experienced someone who was a danger to me in this life who had been a danger to me in past lives also. I believe this actually helped me to safely navigate my encounter with them in this life.
I do find that knowing more about the past lives you have shared with another person can give you a deeper understanding of the energy and patterns within the relationship you have with each other.
We can also feel this connection with certain places and even with activities, like hobbies and talents and careers. Past lives can sometimes leave you with irrational fears that manifest in the present day or a love or affinity with something that you feel for no apparent reason.
Past lives, when tuned in to by a psychic or felt for yourself, can often make many things in your current life make sense to you when you discover them.
I am always open to tuning in to past lives for anyone who asks, as it is always very fascinating and insightful. Soul mates and past lives do tend to go hand in hand.
Delving into the realm of souls we have known before and lives we have previously lived is eternally intriguing and insightful.
