Episode 56: Why Do We Have Violent Past Lives

We experience violent past lives when we separate from spirit. Separation is part of our path of learning who we are and what we can create.

Episode 56: Why Do We Have Violent Past Lives

Listen to podcast

Violent past lives are a part of our journey on planet Earth. In this podcast, my guest is my previous client, Alice, who has since become a friend of mine.  Alice first came for a regression in 2013. In the regressions, she visited several past lives, so interesting and so descriptive, that I used at least four of her past lives in my books, Lost Soul, Wise Soul and Other Lives, Other Realms. Her contribution to these books is extremely valuable. I believe she is a gift, sent to me for several reasons, including allowing me to share her past lives in my books.

The experience of violent past lives.

In this podcast, Alice and I discuss one of her violent past lives as a power-hungry crusader who loved killing. As you will hear, this violent past life impacts Alice on several levels. The dark energy she experiences reverberates through some of her past lives. Alice still finds it can challenge her. 

The power she feels during her dark lives can be addictive. In her current life, she wants to keep her sense of power and use it for good. However, this is challenging.

She feels herself swinging like a pendulum from one extreme to the other. Virtuous on one side and vicious on the other. Alice, like all of us, seeks balance.

The importance of dark lives

During her regressions, we discover that dark lives are an important part of our path. They provide opportunities to build inner strength. Alice is very brave and very honest. She shares with us what it is like to feel dark power coursing through our bodies.  Alice also explains her struggle to integrate strength while avoiding misusing her power. She shares how she is learning to do that. 

Violent past lives are a path to genuine compassion for those struggling with darkness. Even though violent experiences are useful learnings, actions of violence, hate, revenge and anger are ultimately dead ends. Eventually, we want to find a way out. Once reformed, souls who have experienced the dark path resonate with lost souls, helping them find a path to freedom and authenticity.

Alice also discusses her journey through healing her violent past lives. In the early stages, she experiences extremes of self-care on the one hand and self-neglect on the other. She discovers that self-love and feeling worthy is the core of finding balance between these extremes. We attain balance from many lives of contrasting experiences. This is how we develop discernment and wisdom.

I thank Alice for her courage in sharing her experiences on this controversial topic.

My guest, Jules, wants to stay married and be authentic when she comes to see me for a regression. She has worked hard to hold her marriage together. Having a husband she loves dearly, but who is very independent, has been a challenge. For a couple of years she has been suffering with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. She knows she needs to do something different. In the regression, she experiences a powerful past life which helps her make a positive shift. Find out how that turns out in next months’ podcast.
