Can Past Life Trauma Affect Your Life Now?
This lifetime is only one epoch in the continuum of your existence. You have been a living consciousness since your beginning and you will continue to be a living consciousness for the rest of eternity. It is likely that you have had lifetimes on Earth before this one and that you will have lifetimes on Earth after this one. Expand you idea of past and future to include the multiple lifetimes that you have had and those that you will undoubtedly have in the future.
Each lifetime is affected by the previous lifetime. You have built Yourself through your trials, hardships, and experiences. Each past life prepares you for the next one like childhood prepares you for adolescence and adolescence for adulthood. Just as childhood traumas can lead to a difficult adolescence, past life traumas can cause problems in this lifetime.
Past lives build on one another. Energetically, they are like layers of an onion. Each life epoch is connected, yet separate from the others. Each life epoch can help or hinder the next phase of growth.
Most therapies in our current life epoch only concern themselves with traumas of this lifetime, often going back as far as early childhood or even prenatal, but rarely further. Specific expertise is required to pierce the layer of your current lifetime to find and dissipate past life trauma.
Past life trauma is like a magnetic ball and chain. It is a heavy weight to carry, it slows you down, and it attracts similar trauma in this lifetime.
It is possible to relieve past life traumas and lighten the burden for your journey forward.
I also believe even more strongly in the idea that our ancestors and their karma influence our own individual lives.
The universe is whole and complete in itself but when a situation or event arises which causes an imbalance or trauma in the interconnecting morphic fields either within our family relations or any group of people sometimes over generations, the universe (which also includes our own individuality) seeks to redeem this imbalance in a ‘future’ existence within this interconnected group, whether by DNA or other kind of resonance, i.e. a present lifetime. The universe is not concerned with time so whether this occurs in the past or future is irrelevant, it just is. This redemption or remuneration could take the form of an imbalance, blockage or illness which you yourself have to sort out. The universe is impersonal, it seeks only balance, therefore it is not personal and is not your fault. All that is required is that you take responsibility for yourself and your own awareness where others before you had failed, and in this manner your descendents will not have to bear the brunt of any karma you generated or did not deal with in this lifetime, and perhaps your ancestors will be free of theirs, too. Really, it has to be dealt with now, as now is all there is. Even if these descendents are physically dead their karma is still carried on through their descendents until a resolution is reached, as it is only energy seeking balance.
