Your past lives are part of your soul history.

Your soul is what we carry from lifetime to lifetime to lifetime. And this human experience is where we come to learn.

We often learn these lessons through our relationships, and that’s why we can experience such big pain points in our day-to-day lives and in how we relate to the world around us.

When we can understand things karmically, and karma comes from the word lesson we start to see things differently.

What are we here to grow through?
What are we here to learn?

When we start to uncover our past life gifts, first, we move into ownership.

We’re like: “Yo, I graduated from this school. This is what I excel at.”

And then we can begin using those gifts intentionally in this lifetime to support our growth and flourishing.

Have you ever had a past life inkling?

Sometimes we become aware of our past life memories through places that deeply resonate with us, people who feel incredibly familiar, or activities we naturally excel at.

As you begin to notice what you’re drawn toward, especially when it feels inexplicable —  pay attention.

I have a client who fell completely in love with medieval texts and history. She kept saying, “I don’t know why I’m so interested.”

And I asked her “Has it ever occurred to you that maybe you spent many lifetimes in a monastery studying these texts?”

And her response was “Totally. That makes sense.”

The first step is simply paying attention.

Where do you naturally gravitate?
What pulls at you?

And don’t go straight to the intellect: “Oh, it’s all about blah blah blah.”

Instead, move into your heart space and notice what resonates.

We came here as souls, and our soul history contains all the different things we came to learn.

Take a moment to connect with your own heart, spirit, and intuition. Be curious — curiosity is a portal for intuitive listening.

Ask yourself:

For example, maybe you love taking care of people in grounded ways. Maybe you love tucking people in, feeding them, and helping with remedies.

That may be a sign that you had a past life as a nurse, caregiver, or nurturer.

Or maybe you came in with incredible ambition, a sense of adventure, and a desire to climb new mountaintops.

That could point to a past life as an explorer or adventurer, someone who loved discovering new fertile ground. See what resonates.

Pay attention to repeating patterns in your life.

So we come into this lifetime trying to sort it out.

That’s the low road.

That’s where resentment can begin, where we move from conscious choice into unconscious habit.

But the high road sounds different.

Can you feel the difference between those two energies?

I think about a client of mine who was deeply tied to her family.

She had experienced a lot of family struggles and was incredibly dutiful. She stayed home and constantly took care of everyone.

As we explored it together, it became clear that this was connected to a past life pattern of needing to be responsible for everyone.

That was something she had already mastered.

And in this lifetime, instead of being responsible for her family, she could learn to be responsible to them.

That looked like:

That shift supported her soul growth.

Instead of falling back into an old pattern of over-responsibility, she could retain the love and values without giving away her power.

But now she could apply those values toward her own interdependence.

One of the most important things we can do is recognize our gifts.

If you’re a gifted nurturer, adventurer, artist, writer, healer, communicator, or creator of beauty, those may very well be past life soul gifts.

Take that in.

These are things you came into this lifetime already carrying.

That’s a Past life soul gift.

When we start naming our gifts, we claim them.

And when we bring them into awareness and consciousness, we can begin using them intentionally.

Maybe your gift is beautifying spaces. That becomes a way you share your soul gifts with the world in service of the highest good.

If you want to start accessing your own past lives, begin with openness.

Be open and set yourself into a receptive state.

Place one hand on your heart and one on your belly.

Bring your attention inward.

Imagine yourself sitting in a movie theater. A screen flickers on, and slowly an image begins coming into focus.

Maybe it’s blurry. Maybe grainy.

That’s okay.

Spirit doesn’t speak English.

It may come through as:

Don’t judge it. Imagine the lens sharpening and focusing, bringing forward sense memories from different lifetimes.

Be patient if nothing comes immediately.

This is where we can ask our intuition, spirit guides, angels, and higher self for help.

And most importantly:

Don’t judge what comes through.

Like a muscle, the more you practice this awareness, the more you strengthen your connection to your soul memories.

Dreams can also become powerful portals into past lives because when we sleep, the conscious mind quiets and we begin accessing the subconscious, where many of our soul memories are stored.

So here are some of the most important things to remember:

What are your gifts? What do you already know to be true about yourself?

What resonates deeply? What fascinates you?

Are your gifts being expressed through obligation and resentment or through conscious mastery and joy?

Then simply notice what begins to come through.

Follow those clues.

Because through them, we begin unlocking not only our past life history, but the deeper wisdom of the soul itself.
