This past week I had a great question asked: Truly how do our past lives effect this life?

The soul is made up of energy. It has its own energetic DNA per say. If you follow my theory of how we got here in the 1st place, see: Reclaiming your Personal Power & Personal Responsibility (http://www.trulymedium.com/trulys-blog/personal-responsibility-reclaiming-your-power) .

You’ll remember that how we get this life it through a series of choices we decide on with the Divine (God of your understanding or Universe). We then descend to earth, to be a twinkle in mum’s eye until our physical body is conceived.  This is the beginning part of our journey here in this life.

We are then born, live and learn lessons. Fast forward through your life to the moments before passing. While in reflection you realize you’ve had some pretty amazing lessons. Most people work on Unconditional Love, Respect, Integrity, Honesty, Humility, Fear, Gratitude, Compassion, Greif, & Loss, just to name a few! You’ve hopefully learned them all….. ;o) So, once you cross the veil, you meet up with your loved ones & start your journey through the (for simplicity sake) 3 dimensions, Earth, Limbo & Heaven.

Once through Earth & Limbo, we reach ‘heaven’ or the afterlife. When we reach this point we do something I call ‘Life Review’. Other religions call this ‘the judgement’, but since I’m in the belief that God (the universe), loves us unconditionally, I can’t see why he/they would ever pass judgement on us. Life review is really about giving us the opportunity to learn or reflect on all we have done & said in this life time. Its like the Final Exam, where life is the in class lessons…. Get it? While in review, we do not have contact with the outside world. For the most part it really is like an exam because if any one comes knocking trying to connect with you they are usually turned away. Once this review is complete, we get our free will back to come and go as we please.  Most people come & visit their loved ones who are still living in the earth dimension. Others go off to school to learn new things. Some go & do things they didn’t get to accomplish while they were here on earth.

Now eventually you may decide to come back to the earth dimension as a human again! (how exciting). So you would start the process of picking what lessons you’d like to work on this time around. You then pick your mother & father and carry on as you would have before.  Now, the difference being, you have something to work off of now. I think some of the lessons are ‘required’ (unconditional love, grief, loss) but you have a ton of ‘electives’ to pick (ex: betrayal, confusion, self-reliance). You have already had one life, so you can now build on to those experiences with new experiences. The Soul has a metaphysical DNA, which is very similar to our physical DNA where in it contains the history of us. It is entirely made up of all of the experiences that have ever happened to us.  Our own personal Akashic Records.

You become born again (tee hee), or you start living a 2nd life. You start working on the new lessons you have chosen. Well since your soul DNA remembers all that happened in your 1st life, you can imagine how your soul would recognise a similar situation, and depending on the way the similar situation turned out in the 1st life, will either react the same or differently in the 2nd life.

I know, its complicated. Here is a True (Truly) Life example:

In your 1st life shortly after you were born, your mother died. Your family rallies around you and you are well loved. Although you are well looked after, it’s still not the love of the same woman who brought you into this world and therefor you have a sense of abandonment. You grow up to have a great life & die happy.

Now, you come back in start your 2nd life.  Your mother has a pretty good pregnancy all the way along. You are both healthy & happy. During labour, your soul’s DNA remembers that your mother ‘abandoned’ you shortly after being born.  You then become undecided as to whether or not you really want to be here. You could be abandoned again. This could be why a labour becomes stalled, or your umbilical cord becomes wrapped around your neck. This could also be why babies flip in the last weeks of pregnancy and become breach.

See how your soul DNA totally changed the direction of what could have been? Isn’t that amazing? My poor Mum! God bless you Mum!

Our Past lives can play havoc in other areas of our current lives too. If you’ve ever had a reading with me you may have heard me speak about ‘Karmic Bleed Over’.  Others refer to this as ‘Morphic Resonance’ but I feel it’s a bit different. Here are the definitions:

Morphic Resonance: “the basis of memory in nature…. The idea of mysterious telepathy-type of interconnections between organisms and of collective memories within a species.” Example: You think you remember someone or something from somewhere, but there is no possible way you have been in contact with or in this space before.

Karmic Bleed Over: When the Life lessons (Karma) from a previous life time, interferes (bleeds into or over) this current life time, and usually wreaks havoc in it.  Example: You are happily married, then you meet someone who you can’t seem to pull away from. Your Soul DNA remembers this person from a previous life where the two of you were lovers but unable to stay together for whatever reason.  You end up falling for this person in this life & leave your spouse for them. The beginning of your relationship is great, but it ends up fizzling out shortly after you’ve been together for a while. You miss your Spouse, your family, your old life but you cannot go back.  

Unfortunately Karmic Bleed Over is usually not a positive influence. It is hard to see the difference between the two, especially when you are in it.

Now for those of you who are old souls, can you see how this could be a challenge if you don’t clear out your Soul’s DNA? This is the reason why I started teaching the ‘Complete Cellular Mind & Body’ (CCMBA) Workshop. It releases the Soul’s DNA, well some of it at least. You can also release it through ‘Past Life Regression’ work.  In my experience I’ve found it clears faster with CCMBA.

Anyway, I hope this helps you understand Past Lives a bit better. As always leave a question or a comment. Thanks for reading. Love & Light, Truly

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR! So sorry its been so long Lovies. I've been a very busy lady thanks to you. No, really, Thank You!

Today's blog inspiration comes from a lecture I gave back in November.... I hope you enjoy it.

    This past year (2010) I offended one of my friends on Facebook by making the statement 'Everything in life is a Choice.' Believe me, it was not my intention, but with out offending her, I never would have dug deeper into that statement.  I really believed it to be a true and accurate statement, but to really express it properly; I needed to dig further..... yes, I'm talking about FREE WILL. But before we get into that, let's go back to the beginning. 
    You are spirit. You are in heaven before you are born. You say to the God of Your Understanding or to the Universe, I want to grow & evolve. You know the best way to learn, is to experience for yourself....  So you stand in front of a giant black board (or white board) that is covered with words like: Integrity, Honesty, Humility, Loss, Unconditional Love, Forgiveness, Pain, Respect, Trust, Acceptance..... etc.  Some people pick 15, other people pick 45, but the average person picks out approximately 25 words.  Those 25 words are the focus of 25 lessons that you want to learn while spending time on earth. Then you look at the candidates for your mother (seeing the major events in her life), and you pick one. From her partners, you pick your father (seeing the major events in his life also).  Then you are born! You start growing up and all the while, you're learning the lessons.  You are living your life, and God or the Universe hands you a scenario. How you act, and react is completely up to you (free will), and therefore you may or may not learn the lesson that was intended. You see, we are in charge of WHAT we learn, we just don't get to pick HOW we learn it. That is up to God or the Universe to decide.
    Now, you ask, 'what happens if you didn't learn the lesson?'. Good question! Stop here, just a moment. Can you think of anything in your life right now that is REPEATING? It may not be exactly the same, but the main lesson seems similar? Or, is it worst than the last time? It's harder this time, isn't it? Right..... So you repeat the lessons until you get it.... and sometimes it takes lifetimes (yes plural) to get it. You can be repeating something for more than one lifetime, several in fact (but that's another story) and each time the lesson gets harder and harder. The whole point of life is the lessons. We want to evolve and better ourselves, and the best way to do that is to experience the lessons. It really is all about the experiences.
    So that brings me to the law of Choices. It all begins with what we chose before we got here. We no longer have any control over what we picked, but we do have control over how we react or act.  All we can do now is choose to make the best of it... choose to grow, to love, to connect, to give. Can you GROW into your current lessons? or will you turn your back, become bitter and resentful? Choosing to grow is not easy, we all know this, but it is necessary for survival. It comes down to Personal Responsibility. "We are responsible for our own progression or the unfolding of self.  When we can accept that how we act or react to any given situation or experience determines the outcome of that experience, we have taken the first step toward accepting personal responsibility. No one can force us, or make us do anything against our will. we have been given free will to accept or reject any of life's experiences that come our way. When we understand this principle fully, we stop looking for external sources to take the responsibility for anything that has happened or will happen to us. When we start acting instead of reacting to situations or experiences, than we have resumed responsibility for our lives and can start directing it according to our own desires. Regardless of the situations in which we find ourselves, whether they are of our own creation or outside circumstances which have drawn us into them, how they affect us becomes our responsibility. We must take this sense of responsibility into all areas of our lives, for the same rule applies, whether it involves family, community or universal situations. In the end, it will not matter what others think of us that will count, but what we think of ourselves. " (The Seven Principles of Spiritualism).
    Now, what about WHAT you picked to learn...... I've had many people ask me 'Why did I choose this?' or "what is the point of this lesson?" . I may be able to give you a direction on what it could be, but really, only you know the answer. You need to search your soul and ask it those questions. As they say, 'God doesn't answer the How or the Why, he just answers the Who, and When, and the answer is almost always YOU & NOW.'
    When I tell this to someone who is a parent, they often struggle with it. Being a parent myself, I know why. We (parents) tend to want to take away pain or grief from our children. What we don't realize is that this child, just like us, CHOSE these lessons, and by taking away the pain, grief or personal responsibility, we are taking away their lesson. What happens when we don't learn the lesson? Right, we REPEAT it! (heavy, right?). So, as much as you may feel like you are helping and protecting your child, spiritually, you may be stunting their growth! Just like us they need to experience to learn and grow.
    When we have learned all that we wish to learn, we can choose to go home. Some of you have heard me say that we have 5 (or so) opportunities to 'go home'. It is up to us when we decide to leave this earth. But the point being, maybe the person only had a 2 or 3 lessons to learn, and therefore decided to 'go home', what we would consider, early.  On the other hand, you may have fulfilled all of the lessons you intended to learn, and now you're just enjoying. Even death is a choice. (this again, is a topic for another day).
    Anyway, the long and the short of it is..... Everything in Life is a Choice. It's the perfect opportunity to take responsibility for where you are now and to passionately participate with intention, focusing on being in the present!

Thanks for reading. Love & Light,
Truly

Oh, so much to say.... & I have no idea where to begin!
Ah, ok, so for those of you who are suffering with a bit of the depression bug, I did say to keep an eye out because I'd post a mantra for you on my blog.... "I now go beyond other people's fears and limitations. I am the creator of my life". Depression is about not having the courage to live the life that you WANT, not the life you are handed. In almost every reading I end up speaking about Personal Responsibility. It is one of the 7 principles that I live by, and so very important. There is a sense of freedom when you take responsibility for all of your actions and reactions.  When you can accept that you made that decision, knowing full well that there are consequences (whether good or bad, positive or negative) to each choice, you'll find that you almost ALWAYS feel good about your decision. Other people may not, but life really amounts to what YOU want & how you want to experience it.
This brings me to another very important point, "No one can make you feel anything, unless you allow it".  Let me explain: people cannot force feelings on you. Only you can control your feelings. You can choose to feel a certain way. You can choose to feel hurt. You can choose to feel betrayed. You can choose to feel abused, neglected or battered. No one can MAKE you feel this way. You can also choose to learn the lesson and move on. You can choose to understand. You can choose to accept your role in the situation and change it. You OWN your feelings. So Own Them.
So, approximately 8 weeks ago, I started saying a mantra on a daily basis. If you are a Facebook friend of mine, you'll have seen it a few times as my status. "The Universe Supports Me In All That I Do." This mantra has made a HUGE difference in my life. Honestly. It has helped me to manifest all of the things I want. Well most.... lol. I wanted to be busier in my life (yes, really). I wanted my business to take off. I wanted to be available to my son. I wanted to help my husband. I wanted to have more fun. I wanted to gain more financial freedom. I say this mantra at least once a day. My life has changed in so many ways. The point of my telling you this is: If you don't make your desires known, how can anyone ever help you fulfill them? If you do not ask for help, you will never receive it. I tell clients all the time to put what you want, what you desire, out to the universe (or to God). Prayer is Talking to God, Meditation is Listening to God. Only when we specifically ask for what we want, can our desires be filled.

Lastly, here are a few quotes that have been floating around my head lately (I'm sure they'll be helpful to someone):

Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself.
— Robert F. Bennett

We need to teach the next generation of children from Day One that they are responsible for their lives. Mankind's greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear.
— Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

You cannot afford to wait for perfect conditions. Goal setting is often a matter of balancing timing against available resources. Opportunities are easily lost while waiting for perfect conditions.
— Gary Ryan Blair (Mind Munchies)

Thank You for taking the time to read my thoughts.
Love & Light,
Truly xo

They say life is what you make it. So why not make it great? Who says you can't do all the things you dream of. Get up and get busy already! You can do it. Lately I've had a lot of clients come asking about a different path, or changing careers. You know, I've always said, if you can dream it, you can do it, you just gotta get up off your butt!
We are not here to have things given to us. When we incarnate to the earth, it is to learn lessons (on many levels I might add). So to think that your just going to get something you really want just because you 'wish' for it is silly. You need to do the leg work involved. You need to build a foundation before you can build a house. It doesn't hurt to ask the Universe or God of your understanding for help, but by no means will it just be given to you. Instead of asking to become a rock star, why not ask for the opportunity to show people what a great singer/musician you are? By asking that, you are accepting your personal responsibility. You would need to spend time practicing your craft to be a great singer/musician. The opportunity can be given, and actually so can the talent, but if you don't work to improve it, you'll never be a rock star. The same goes for Mediums & Psychics. We need to practice our craft. Every week I set aside 1-2 hours to meditate and communicate with spirit and the collective consciousness. By doing this, I am practicing my skills, a "fine tuning of my instrument" if you will. I also gather with like minded people to share information and experiences on a weekly basis. Finding someone to relate to can be very rewarding. You may not have many things in common, but when you do feel that sense of connection, it can open your eyes to new possibilities, and new ways of thinking.
Well Lovies, I'll get off my soap box now. Please know that I love & respect you, wherever you are in your life lessons & I'm always willing to help. Love & Light, Truly
