Today, we’re diving into past lives: an exciting and powerful area of spiritual exploration. Not only do they provide insight into our spirit’s journey, but they also offer a profound opportunity for healing. Whether you’re just starting to explore or have already dabbled in past life work, journeying can be a transformative way to connect with your ‘other selves’.
One of the most amazing things about journeying is that it naturally opens up pathways to past lives, even if that’s not the original intention of your journey. It’s almost effortless – you’ll find yourself slipping into the energy of past lives, which allows you to explore those experiences firsthand.
Earth is an intense place to incarnate, full of dense energy and profound learning experiences. This makes it a perfect environment for karmic growth and soul expansion. We often refer to these other selves as “past lives,” but they’re really just different expressions of our soul, existing on other timelines. For simplicity, we call them past lives, but since they exist outside of linear time, they could be happening in parallel with the present.
It’s completely normal to not remember your past lives. Forgetting is part of the earth incarnation. We incarnate with a veil of forgetfulness around us, a necessary element of the karmic learning process. If we had all the “cheat codes” (full memory of all past lives), it would change the experience entirely. Forgetting allows us to truly overcome karma and navigate life lessons in integrity.
When we die, our frequency at that moment of passing influences our next incarnation. Between lives, we make new agreements and set the stage for the next experience—what karma to work through, what lessons to learn, and where we’ll incarnate. Forgetting these agreements ensures that the next life is a genuine, fresh adventure of soul growth.
Our other lives often reside in higher astral realms, while we live in a denser vibrational space here on earth. This frequency disparity can make it difficult to access memories of other incarnations. Despite this, your personal vibration has the power to override these structures. By practicing expanding your consciousness and lifting the veil of forgetfulness, you can start to access those higher vibrational realms and remember these other aspects of yourself. The key is to practice consistently, so your awareness expands, allowing you to experience past lives more vividly.
Remembering past lives can be a beautiful blessing, especially when you’re able to heal karma and trauma that still impacts you in this life. But forgetting certain past lives can also be a gift. Not all memories are ones we want to hold onto. Sometimes, not remembering is a form of protection. Journeying gives us the power to visit and heal traumatic experiences from the past, without needing to be burdened by the full memory.
Whether or not you consciously remember your past lives, they can still influence you. The important thing is to focus on who you are right now, in the present. Your past lives and experiences are connected to your current life through karmic threads, and you can trust that whatever you need to know will be revealed at the right time.
Journeying is an incredible way to access and experience your past lives. Through these journeys, you can heal, integrate, and activate parts of yourself that have been lying dormant. Each incarnation brings its own expertise, gifts, and abilities, and journeying helps you tap into those gifts quickly.
One of the reasons I teach journeying without external guidance – what I call “journeying blindly” – is because it allows you an unfiltered, raw, and emotionally truthful experience. No one is telling you about your past life; you’re experiencing it yourself, which is far more powerful and authentic.
As I’ve witnessed in my own life and in the lives of my students, when you start journeying and accessing these other selves, the expansion process is exponential. Each experience in a past life or encounter with a higher being can activate something new within you. It’s like each journey brings a piece of your soul back into alignment, sparking a new level of consciousness.
Whether you remember or not, your soul is infinitely capable of expansion. When you step into this journeying practice, you begin to remember parts of yourself that have been waiting to be integrated, expanding your awareness, spiritual power, and connection to source.
So if you’ve been feeling curious about past lives, or if you want to unlock a deeper understanding of your soul’s journey, I encourage you to start exploring through journeying. The experiences you’ll have are far more than just memories – they’re an invitation to fully embody the wisdom, gifts, and love that you carry from lifetime to lifetime.
Love,
Jessica
