Past Lives

[Monica]

I think in most cases such things are more of a distraction than a help, though on occasion remembering the karma you share with another person aids in resolving that karma.

Most of my past life memories were snapshots in time that acutely illustrated a karmic pattern with myself or others. The whole reason I was able to access the memory at all was because I was working on resolving karma. I asked to understand the dynamic so I could heal it, and in my search for answers, the glimpse into the past life surfaced.

In all cases, it wasn't for kicks, but part of a therapeutic healing process.

Upon meeting a certain individual in this life, we shared an instant recollection of one another, his immediate reaction being one of recoil. We both perceived that I had owned him as a slave in a previous life, and had been cold and abusive toward him. Working through that karma and becoming the best of friends was one of the more satisfying experiences I've had in this life. I've met another individual who murdered me in a past life, and in this life he has been one of my primary teachers in honing my psychic skills. Enemies of the past can really make the best of present allies.

Those are great stories! I too had intense karmic connections with people I'm close to in this life; the memories helped understand and heal.
