A symbol can also represent a past life experience. Last year, I participated in a Medicine Buddha Empowerment ceremony at Sonoma State University, conducted by the Abbott of the monastery in Dharamsala, India. This ceremony is normally given to those who have experienced years of Buddhist meditative study, but it was realized that we Westerners needed to awaken our healing energy, and an exception was made. An electric blue healing symbol was activated in the auras of all who participated in the ceremony.
Often, we are drawn to someone we have known before in another lifetime, to resolve and heal old karma, or to enjoy another life with a spirit we love. In one reading of a relationship troubled by guilt and pain, I noticed that energy from past lifetimes seemed to play a big role. I saw that the couple had been mother and son in a previous lifetime. One day, while the mother was engrossed in her chores, the son played precariously close to an old dry well. The boy fell in and despite many rescue attempts, his family was unable to save him. Helpless, his mother heard his cries for days, until he finally died. For the remainder of her life, she held onto guilt and a feeling that she should have watched her only son more closely. This lifetime, the woman kept trying to make amends to him, remaining in a state of guilt rather than making healthy choices in the relationship. Releasing Past Life Energy Recognizing and releasing past life emotions is one way to help change a stuck pattern in your life. Sometimes, we unconsciously cling to past ways of doing things because they have worked for us before, or just because that is all we know how to do. This is why many psychics read past lives-and why the past life reading is an integral part of clairvoyant training. It is a way to let go of old energy and create new and wonderful things in your life. There are many ways to recognize and release a past lifetime. Sometimes, simply remembering why this lifetime was important gives you information that explains something in your life now. One woman, on vacation in Turkey, saw a symbol on the wall of the Library of Celsus in Ephesus that looked strangely familiar. Years before, she had found a picture of this symbol and placed it in her book shop. At the time, the symbol seemed to belong in the book shop, but she didn't know its origins. Now, staring up at the ruined wall in Turkey, she realized that she had been one of the librarians at Celsus, thousands of years before. She had chosen the symbol unconsciously to remind herself of her past life experience there. |
