The Role of Past Lives in Healing: Insights from an Energy Perspective

Have you ever experienced a fear, habit, or feeling that seemed to arise out of nowhere—as though it didn’t belong to this lifetime? Or perhaps you’ve met someone and felt an instant, unexplainable connection as if you’ve known them before. These moments may hint at a deeper spiritual experience, one rooted in the concept of past lives.
​

From an energetic and shamanic perspective, past life experiences are thought to weave an invisible thread through our current existence, shaping our emotions, behaviors, and even relationships. By exploring these connections, many individuals find opportunities for profound healing and personal growth. Let's explore how past lives might influence the present and how uncovering these layers can lead to meaningful transformation.
The Influence of Past Lives on the Present

The idea of past lives is rooted in belief systems like reincarnation, which suggest that each person has one soul and our souls have lived many lifetimes, accumulating experiences, lessons, and even unresolved traumas. These remnants of the past can manifest in our current lives in subtle or overt ways.

Emotional Patterns and Fears

Have you ever struggled with an unexplained phobia or recurring emotional pattern? From a past life perspective, these could be echoes of a former experience. For example, the fear of water might trace back to a life involving a drowning incident, or chronic anxiety around abandonment could stem from past betrayals or separations. Through shamanic journeys, I discovered that my fear of conflict is rooted in a past life at war. I also learned that in another lifetime, I drowned as an adult. I am certain that my trepidation of deep water ,which came on as I entered my twenties, is completely irrational and likely associated with that past life drowning.

Healing becomes possible by identifying the origins of these emotional imprints. The first step is understanding that these deeply embedded fears or feelings don’t originate in the present life, creating space for forgiveness or release.

Karmic Relationships

Our relationships in this lifetime may also carry traces of past lives. Psychics often refer to karmic relationships, in which unresolved issues between souls are carried forward into the present. Whether it’s the joy of finding a “soulmate,” your “soul family,” or the challenges of a difficult dynamic, these interactions are believed to provide opportunities to balance karma and learn profound lessons.

For instance, a sibling or partner who feels both familiar and triggering may represent unresolved lessons from a shared past life. Recognizing these connections can inspire growth and compassion, propelling your soul’s journey onward so that you don’t have to live these lessons in another lifetime.

Physical Symptoms or Challenges

Interestingly, past life experiences can also leave energetic marks on the body. A persistent pain or unexplained illness might have roots in a trauma from a former life—for instance, a sore throat linked to a lifetime where one wasn’t allowed to speak their truth. Through awareness and healing, these physical imprints can often be released.

Accessing Past Life Information

Shamans, psychics, spiritual practitioners, and healers access past life information through various methods, helping individuals uncover these hidden perspectives. Whether through regression, intuition, or energy work, many tools exist to explore the echoes of the soul’s past.


Past Life Regression

One of the most well-known methods is past life regression. During a session, the client is guided into a deeply relaxed state, allowing them to access subconscious memories from previous lifetimes. These memories may come as vivid imagery, emotions, or intuitive insights. The client is observing the previous lifetime, not re-living it. This objective distance allows information to be received and processed in a safe way.

Regression can illuminate the root causes of current struggles while providing clarity and healing. For instance, a client experiencing a fear of heights may recall a past life involving a fall, allowing them to process and release the fear in their present existence.


Intuitive Psychic Readings

Psychics with heightened intuition or clairvoyant skills may also access past life information by reading a client’s energy field. They tune into patterns, symbols, or impressions that point to significant past life events influencing the present. This intuitive insight can shed light on life themes, karmic relationships, or soul purposes. I remember a moving and deeply transformative practice of reading energy fields across lifetimes from my first shamanic initiations and training.


Energy Healing and Soul Retrieval

Some spiritual practitioners combine energy work with past life insights. For example, a shamanic healer might perform a soul retrieval, where parts of the soul fragmented by past traumas are reintegrated into the present self. This practice allows for deep release, bringing wholeness back to the individual.


Healing Through Past Life Understanding

Addressing past life connections provides an opportunity for healing on all levels. By uncovering and understanding these spiritual imprints, individuals can break free from cycles, release burdens, and step into their full potential.


Healing Trauma

One of the most powerful aspects of past life work is healing trauma. For instance, if a deep sense of unworthiness stems from a past life where someone faced persecution, simply acknowledging this source can spark profound release. With the help of practices like affirmations, visualization, or forgiveness work, people often find they can shed these old patterns.


Breaking Free from Repeated Patterns

Soul-level patterns, often carried through multiple lifetimes, can create cycles that feel impossible to break. For example, someone might repeatedly attract controlling partners, tied to unresolved experiences from past lives. By bringing these patterns to light, healing creates the possibility of new, healthier choices.


Rediscovering Strengths and Talents

Not all past life healing is about trauma. Exploring past lives can also reveal hidden strengths, talents, or wisdom carried through time. A natural ability for art, music, or leadership might feel innate because it’s something the soul has practiced in prior lifetimes. By recognizing these gifts, individuals can deepen their confidence and purpose.


Simple Ways to Explore Past Lives

Even without a practitioner, there are ways to begin connecting with past life experiences and fostering healing:

  1. Meditation or Shamanic Journeying and Intention
    Quiet the mind and set an intention to connect with past life insights. Visualizations can guide you to significant moments or impressions from former lifetimes. Pay attention to images, feelings, or memories that surface.
  2. Journaling and Reflection
    Write about dreams, recurring thoughts, or strong emotions that feel "out of place.” Reflecting on what these moments could signify may reveal past patterns worth exploring.
  3. Working with Crystals or Tools
    Crystals like amethyst and labradorite are thought to support intuitive exploration and past life recall. Use them during meditation or dreamwork to enhance insight.
  4. Study Emotional Triggers
    Notice emotional patterns, phobias, or strong connections you feel with places, people, or cultures. These may provide clues to past life influences.


Moving Forward with Awareness

Past life exploration offers a window into the soul’s infinite depth, shining light on the experiences and lessons carried through time. While these memories may not always be easy to uncover, they hold the potential to unlock healing, growth, and transformation. By understanding how past life experiences influence the present, we can release old wounds, free ourselves from repetitive cycles, and connect more fully with our authentic selves.

Ultimately, the past, present, and future are woven together in the tapestry of the soul, creating endless opportunities for learning and healing. Whether through psychic insights, regression, journeying, or your own quiet reflections, the path to understanding past lives can enrich your spiritual growth and bring peace to your current reality.
