We do a lot of travelling and I am amazed at how we meet
strangers in different states and countries and they become close friends. It
is interesting to see that they share our views on life and are spiritual like
we are. I believe and often say that we come to this earth plane in groups. Sometimes
we have to wait for eons for all members to come together.
I was elated to get proof for this fact recently. When we
had two outstation friends and they learned that I am a past life regression
facilitator, they showed keen interest to experience a past life. Since we were hard pressed for time, I decided to do a short session for both together. It was a powerful
experience for both of them, and, me too.
Getting inside the box
I took them into a deeply relaxed state and let them imagine
a box, large enough to accommodate a person inside. I had to specify that the
box was open from the top, without a lid,as one of them was claustrophobic. Each
one was guided to get into the box, which was taking them to the life time that
held answers to the core issue in this life time. From the same instructions,
they went through different experiences.
Vinita’s experience
The moment I asked them to sit down inside the box, Vinita
(name changed) sat down in padmasana (Lotus pose). She saw herself as a man
sitting in front of a group of people, to whom he was imparting spiritual
knowledge. He was then going through the villages on foot, helping people with
advice, and distributing things like
rice, dal, clothes etc., to those in
need.
Lasika in Europe
Lasika (name changed) sat on a chair inside the box. In the
past life, she was a model in Europe. The significant moment in that life time
was when she was busy getting things arranged for a show. She was stressed out
and running around to see that all arrangements were made perfect.
Meanwhile a man (lover?) came to her and asked her to leave
everything and go with him. They had an argument and she made it clear that she
loved the life as a model and the man left her in anger. She felt being left
alone, then composed herself and got on with the task at hand.
Parallels to the current life
Vinita is married and living in a joint family. When the husband
comes back home hungry in the evening and asks her to cook something for him,
she would cook for everybody at home. This irritates her husband, who can’t
understand why she can’t cook just for him. He thinks she is doing this to
please others. But for her, it is her inherent nature, and is at a loss to
grasp why there is a problem at all.
Other members of the family are surprised at her habit of
giving something to anybody who visits them. Like giving drinking water to the post
man, some fruit to the person who comes to clean their car etc.,
Lasika’s feeling of loneliness is apparent in this life. She
never lets herself to be alone in the house. When other members of the family
leave for different destinations, whoever is the last one to leave,
irrespective of where she/he is going, she will go with them.
Souls from previous lives
Vinita saw herself as an ascetic, and her sixteen months old
baby in current life enjoys listening to bhajans. When he is irritated or
crying, she puts on bhajans and he becomes calm and happy in no time.
After she gives him bath in the morning, he would straightaway
go to the puja room, without any prompting. I told her that her son is definitely one of
her disciples from the previous life.
Lasika has a daughter who is just 3 years old. Once while
travelling when she was younger and had just started talking, she was
fascinated by a building on the way. She pointed to it and told, ‘Papa, Eiffel
tower’. They were surprised from where she came to know of Eiffel tower.
When they were discussing about having a vacation and asked
her where she wanted to go, she was ready with her answer, ‘London, Paris’.
Now that she is three years old, they were considering
different school options to enrol her, she had her opinion, ‘Papa, put me in
London school’.
From the time she started talking, she has a European accent
while talking in her mother tongue, and now when she talks in English. Friends
and relatives make fun of Lasika, saying, ‘Your daughter is a foreigner or
what?’ And she is desperately trying to change her daughter’s accent.
Definitely the daughter is another soul from her European
life. On meeting Lasika the first time, my husband, who is an Orthodontist, had
remarked, ‘ Your facial profile is like that of a European’. So, even the
facial characteristic she has brought from her European life!
