Past Lives

[Ruth]

I did a bunch of past life work over a year ago that I had been working with for a couple years...

Did you go to someone local to you, or someone you knew? I'd like to learn a little about my past few lives here.
I feel like I'm missing some context for this life's catalyst - like I'm seeing the tail-end result of important events set into motion before here and now.

Where did you start, Eternal?

I started with my memories, I didnt have anyone tell me most of my past life experiences. There were a few that were very vivid, and so I meditated on those lives and the connected revealed themselves in very real ways. There was a period where I struggled to not get caught in taking on those old identities. A good practice to try is to go back as far as you can in your memory, back to when you were born, and then continue pushing backwards in to your memory.

Same here, TheEternal. What I "know" of past lives has come by way of very vivid memories that often come spontaneously when triggered by an event or a location, or by coming into contact with a person I recognize from another time period.
