8 Simple and Easy Ways To Explore Your Past Lives

How many past lives have I had? Who was I in my past life? Why do we come back again and again? Is the current issue I am dealing with related to one of my past lives? These are just a few of the questions clients ask me during their private sessions. The subject of reincarnation is fascinating to many. I do have the ability to see a person’s past lives but I prefer to guide the individuals as they discover their past lives on their own. There  are countless ways you can access past life information. Today I will share with you 8 ways you can explore your past lives. The information that can be uncovered through a past life regression can help one understand where fears, strengths, interests as well as beliefs may have originated from.

8 Easy Ways to Explore Your Past Lives

  1. Schedule a session with a trained hypnotherapist or past life regression specialist. 
  2. Listen to a guided past life regression by either Brian Weiss or Dick Sutphen. 
  3. Paying attention to your dreams. Often past life memories come through our dreams. Keeping a journal by your bed will help you sort out the messages you are receiving in the dream state. Before going to bed, ask your Higher Self to reveal to you past life experiences that will be helpful to you in your current life. 
  4. A regular meditation practice will help you uncover information by asking questions about one past life at a time ahead of time and allowing yourself the natural process of understanding and remembering the information that will come through meditation. 
  5. You can schedule a session with a trusted psychic or skilled Akashic Record Reader. The Akashic Records exist on a dimension (plane of existence) that the stores the information for every individual who has ever lived upon the earth. 
  6. Take a look at the skills that are effortless for you.  Do you excel in certain areas without any formal training?  For some people they are able to play an instrument, read music, speak another language or even weave a basket without any formal training. Chances are these abilities are carried over from another lifetime. Explore these talents further through one of the other techniques I have suggested. 
  7. Trust in yourself with the information that you are receiving through the regression process. It will probably feel like you are making all of it up. You are probably receiving accurate details with the information that is coming through. 
  8. A shamanic journey with a trained shaman can help you journey into your past lives. Often this type of journey is very healing because it can help you retrieve fragmented aspects of your soul that have experienced trauma from past life experiences. Please do take your time in seeking a practitioner. There are many wonderful and ethical practitioners out there but there are also some who are not the “real deal”.

A Little Advice to Help You Along The Way

  • Make sure the information and story “feels” right to you. A past life reader may say they “see” a certain lifetime and you aren’t sure the details resonates with you – listen to your gut feelings. If it doesn’t resonate, then leave that information out of the equation. Just because someone else says they are “seeing it”, it does not mean that what they are saying is accurate. It could even be that specific lifetime isn’t important to you in this experience. Trust yourself! 
  • Some lifetimes aren’t pleasant ones and it may be more harmful than beneficial for your personal growth in this lifetime. In these cases, it is best to go to a trained professional in this field. How would you know if this is the case? You may have some resistance with your own meditations or even have anxiety about the whole reincarnation process. 
  • Try to not over-analyze the information. Sometimes all of the pieces are not given to us in one session. We will receive the information at the pace that is for our highest and best good.
The most important lifetime is the one you are living now. We have the veil of forgetfulness put on us so that we can focus on one lifetime at a time. You are here to grow as the personality in the current life you are living now. Who you were before is not nearly as important as whom you are now. You are here to experience. Your past lives do affect you in this lifetime, and at the same time, this lifetime has influence on other lifetimes, past, present and future. I encourage you to use the wisdom you will gain from uncovering your other lives to empower and heal your soul in the here and now.

Astral Travel - Learn How To Do It Safely and Effectively


The ability to astral travel is a lot more common and easier to do than people may realize. We all leave our bodies during the night when we sleep. Just enough of our soul essence is left behind to keep the soul connected to the physical body to keep it alive and functioning. Often we leave our bodies during meditation as well. I love exploring the other realms of existence using astral travel as my means of transportation. Anyone can learn about astral travel, what is it and how to do it effectively.
Many of us are not even aware that we have already traveled in the astral realm The definition of astral travel or astral projection is:
  • Astral projection (or astral travel) is an interpretation of an out-of-body experience (OBE) that assumes the existence of an “astral body” separate from the physical body and capable of travelling outside it.

You Might Have Astral Traveled If…

  • You had dreams of flying. 
  • You visit a new place and you feel as if you have been there before. 
  • You meet with someone for the first time and they are familiar. 
  • You share a dream with someone and they had the same dream experience. 
  • You were able to view your body from the ceiling. Some people see the silver cord that keeps the astral and physical bodies connected. 
  • You experience deja vu (deja vu is when you travel ahead in time, checkout the scenarios to select the outcome that best suits your soul’s path). 
  • You have met with a teacher in your dream in a classroom setting. 
  • You received information about upcoming events. 
  • You had a visit with a deceased loved one.
People consciously astral travel for many different reasons. I suggest formulating an intention as to where you would like to go, who you would like to meet up with and what information you would like to attempt to retrieve.

Here are the most popular reasons why people astral travel:

  • To learn about themselves. 
  • View past lives. 
  • Meet with a spiritual teacher, ascended master or spirit guide. 
  • To gain wisdom about just about anything from reincarnation, to healing, to how to communicate with pets. 
  • Visit with crossed over loved ones. 
  • Have an astral travel date with another like-minded spiritual buddy. 
  • For personal healing.
The astral realm is infinite as to where you can go exploring. There are quite a few different approaches or techniques that people use to assist them with a safe and productive session. Personally, I prefer to use tools to enhance my experience. I love using candles, incense and or sage, playing music in the background and use crystals either to hold or place in my meditation room.

A sample of how I prepare for a sessions of astral travel for myself:

  1. First I make sure I am in a relaxed, calm state of mind and my emotions are in balance. 
  2. I never meditate or astral travel on a full stomach. This can lead to a sluggish feeling and is difficult to relax and let go. 
  3. I create my intention. (ex. It is my intention to travel to Egypt to see the pyramids of Giza) and write it down on paper. 
  4. I always bring my guides for protection with me when I meditate, astral travel or do any spiritual work. 
  5. I prefer to sit up when I meditate with my back straight and supported by the chair or wall. 
  6. I begin with a prayer/intention and slowly go into a  meditative state. 
  7. Sometimes I write and record my own meditation ahead of time and then play the meditation to guide me along my journey. 
  8. After my meditation/journey is complete I thank spirit for the protection and guidance I received along my astral travels and then write down my experience in my journal.
Respecting other people’s boundaries while engaged in any psychic work is imperative! I strongly discourage anyone to use their psychic abilities to spy on anyone.

If you are interested in learning more about astral travel, I suggest seeking out a mentor who has experience in this area that can help you develop your astral traveling abilities.
Happy Traveling!

Blessing and Light,

Psychic Attack - What It Is and How To Deflect It


It is quite possible that you may have been the victim of a psychic attack and were completely unaware that you were feeling the effects of that psychic attack.  A psychic attack is when an individual sends negative energy to manipulate intentionally or unconsciously to a person, place or thing for personal gain causing distress, pain and or havoc in the intended receiver’s life. Sometimes we know exactly where the attack is coming from and sometimes we are unable to pinpoint the source.
Psychic attacks can be sent out in different forms such as: negative thought forms, gossiping, black magic (spells), verbal abuse and trying to control others through emotional manipulation.

  • Headaches
  • Exhaustion
  • Nightmares
  • Experiencing the feeling being watched
  • Stabbing pain in the back
  • Feeling like you are in a fog
  • Quick sudden bursts of nausea
  • Depression or feeling overwhelmed

Ways To Deflect The Energy From A Psychic Attack

  • Wear gemstone jewelry that brings in light and deflects negativity such as: tiger’s eye, hematite, selenite, black obsidian and black onyx.
  • Take care of your physical health by getting plenty of rest, drinking lots of water and eating healthy foods.
  • Bathing and or washing your hands with sea salt or epson salt will clean and clear your auric field.
  • Set and keep healthy boundaries with others. Toxic situations and relationships can drain and overwhelm us.
  • Keep yourself grounded by spending time out in nature, schedule energy healing sessions (Reiki, cranio sacral therapy), eat plenty of rooted vegetables, and balance your chakra centers often.
  • Cut those unhealthy emotional cords with the following visualization;  See the bungee-like cords of energy extending from your solar plexus in front of you. Either visualize or physically take out a pair of scissors and cut those cords. Request that spirit help you release the cords that are keeping you connected to energy draining situations and relationships.
  • Be present and alert when interacting with others. Is your intuition telling you that something is off with someone? Listen and pay attention to your gut feelings.

    Psychic attacks can easily be deflected by being aware of what the signs are and using some of the tips I suggested. No one can overpower us or take control of our lives without our consent. Self care and being aware of our own energy are the best defenses for keeping unwanted influences at bay.
