Many years ago, a friend asked the question, “Do you really believe in past lives?” I answered with, “Whether or not reincarnation is true, something is going on. I’ve had many experiences when I’ve seen and felt what I can only explain as past lives.
Ultimately, I think there is so much about the universe, God, and infinity that we don’t understand. I believe we are trying to explain them so that we can put them into a category or box. That way, we don’t feel so overwhelmed and intimidated by it all.”
The first past life memory I experienced felt very real to me. It was as though I had stepped into a movie screen. I didn’t feel any physical pain, but I felt all of the emotions as though I was right there.
I was standing on a barren, rocky hill. I was wearing long robes and got the sense this took place around the time of the pharaohs. There were people sitting and lying around with looks of bliss on their faces. I was walking around checking on them. I was giving the power back to the people by teaching them how to access Divine Love for themselves.
The priesthood at that time had become corrupt and sent a soldier to kill me. The priests didn’t want the people to know they had that power themselves and didn’t need to go through the priesthood. I recognized the soldier as someone I had been in relationship with in this life time.
At the time I saw this past life, I had just gotten certified in the Breathwork. I had this crazy feeling if I started my work as a healer, someone would try to kill me. I knew it wasn’t rational, but the feeling was stopping me from moving forward.
Once I recognized where that irrational belief came from, I thought to myself, “Although I was killed in that life, no one is going to try to kill me now.” I was able to begin my practice sharing my love and my passion through my work as a healer.
As always, I encourage you to remember your passion.
Best, Maren Nelson
