How To Benefit From a Past Life Reading

Having a past life reading can be fascinating – and may often connect with present life patterns, too.

What’s the Benefit of a Past Life Reading?

This is a good question, and something many people may wonder about when considering a past life reading.  At the same time, curiosity can pull us to have a past life reading.

The first time I underwent a focused past life reading was through a QHHT practitioner (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique). I thought I was going to spend a pleasant afternoon with like-minded friends. Spirit had very different plans.

During the session—which feels like a guided meditation—I found myself slipping between dimensions and stepping onto a kind of star pathway. I looked around and saw the Universe: galaxies, movement, vastness. All of this happened after visualizing my bedroom and opening a symbolic “door” to past lives.

Instead of a simple story from a previous incarnation, I received a sweeping demonstration of different beings on different planets, along with instructions about a spiritual “control panel” and a conversation about how human consciousness links with the wider Universe.

All I wanted was a straightforward past life—maybe a kitchen maid, something simple! (That came later.)

This is often what happens in past life readings: Spirit gives you not what you expect but what you need at that moment.

Context Is Everything

Looking back, I realize I hadn’t set a clear intention for that QHHT session. The group’s intention was broad—Why are we incarnated here and now?

So the answer I received was broad as well: the big cosmic view, not a life-by-life explanation.

As I write about it now, I understand much better why that happened. These days, I’m learning how to “connect the dots” within the Akashic Records and use the information I receive in a practical way for self-growth.

Mark Nepo expresses this beautifully:

“Attention is the key to transformation—and full attention also implies acceptance. Attention is like a beam of light—the focused power of your consciousness that transmutes everything into itself.”

The Akashic Records and Your Frame of Reference

When you make an energetic request in the Akashic Records, what you ask for is essentially what you will receive. In that sense, the Records function a bit like a spiritual search engine.

They also match the tone of your intention. If you ask out of curiosity, you’ll get something that expands your curiosity. If you ask in an open, expansive mindset, you’ll receive big, expansive answers.

Past life readings naturally shift your state of mind, and the state you’re in when you ask becomes the resonance you send into your personal Akashic field. The information that returns is a match for that resonance.

To get the most out of a past life reading, set the frame first.

Be clear about the type of information you want.

If you’d like a past life reading, I offer Akashic Journey Readings.

My Most Useful Past Life Reading (Through Regression)

Recently, I did a past life regression specifically to understand a health issue—something I’ve struggled with for most of my life.

Regression is different from an Akashic reading. In regression, you inhabit the past life: sensations, feelings, thoughts, even physical impressions. In an Akashic past life reading, you observe the life more like a movie rather than stepping into the role.

You could say:

• Past Life Regression: being the movie star
• Akashic Past Life Reading: watching the movie

I asked to experience a lifetime directly related to the digestive issues I have in this life.

I Was A Cook In This Past Life Reading

Most of the regression took place in a kitchen in the West Country of the UK, sometime in the 1700s. I spoke in a West Country accent throughout the session—I could hear myself doing it, forming words differently than I do today.

The kitchen was lit by fuel lamps, with two large wood-fired ranges. I wore a servant’s uniform and stood before my master while he spoke to me. I was in the middle of making a pheasant pie. There were memories of preparing elaborate dishes—a swan pie, even a peacock.

He complimented my pastry, and I felt genuinely proud.

Two patterns from my current life immediately echoed through that experience.

• I’ve always had a complicated relationship with cooking. Some foods turn my stomach.
• I’ve often resented cooking for others—though once I begin, I tend to enjoy it.

Suddenly, it made sense: I had cooked because I had to in that lifetime. I was literally enslaved to it. No wonder I sometimes resist cooking for others now.

The End of a Past Life Can Offer Insight Too

I asked to see the end of that lifetime (without pain or fear). We can learn a lot from how previous lives concluded.

I died older—grey hair, hunched over a kitchen table. I had choked on a bone in a pie made by another cook. A dramatic and ironic ending for someone whose entire life revolved around food.

Although I didn’t feel any physical discomfort in the regression—because I had set the intention to remain safe and pain-free—the symbolic insight was clear.

In this life, I’ve always struggled with textures, “lumps,” and anything that might trigger my fear of vomiting. Childhood experiences at school—being pushed to eat food I found repulsive and then throwing up in front of others—only reinforced that fear.

After the regression, all of it made deeper sense.

Would you like a Past Life Reading?

If you would like a Past Life Reading, I suggest having a 1-hour Akashic Journey Reading.

Bring your list of questions with you, and we can open up a column of light during the reading.  This enables past life aspects of your Soul to come through and share information with us.

It can be both helpful and enlightening!

Learn More About The Akashic Records Readings I Offer

One way to learn more about your past lives is to begin to work with your Akashic Records. This expands the connection to your Soul through your Higher Self (also known as your intuition).

If you are interested in an Akashic Records Reading, I always recommend starting with the Soul Star Reading.

This reading gives you 3 different immersive experiences of the Akashic Records: –

1. Connecting with your Divine Soul Blueprint (Soul-level gifts, talents, abilities).
2. Hearing about a Past Life that contains a karmic pattern ready for clearing (you’ll recognize this pattern in your present life).
3. Recognizing and clearing present life blocks and restrictions.
