How to Work With Past Lives To Benefit Our Present Lives?

 When we work with past lives, we can release blocks, restrictions and heavy emotional patterns that are holding us back in present life.

Why Work With Past Lives?

I first encountered the idea of past lives during a workshop with the wonderful teacher Denise Linn. I spent a full day exploring how past lives can influence the choices we make now.

It was emotional, energetic, eye-opening—and I’ve never regretted the insights that came from that experience.

Working With Past Lives in the Akashic Records

As an Akashic Records Reader, I often meet two kinds of clients:

• those who are simply curious about their past lives, and
• those who feel, deep in their bones, that a present-day issue is connected to a past-life event.

Both approaches are valid. But the question remains:

Why work with past lives at all?

Moving Toward A Deeper Understanding of Past Lives

One of the most beneficial ways to work with past lives is to approach them with the intention of understanding yourself better.

What if recalling a past life could help you see why you react the way you do in this lifetime?
What if it could reveal the origins of your patterns, strengths, fears, or even the dynamics you experience with certain people?

When clients come to a reading with this mindset—curiosity paired with self-awareness—they tend to receive the most meaningful insights.

We’re often told on the spiritual journey that other people act as our “mirror.” Children show us our own qualities reflected back. Partners, friends, and even strangers reveal parts of ourselves we might not see otherwise.

So here’s a shift in perspective:

What if we could become our own mirror by learning to work with past lives?

Using Past Lives as a Mirror

When you work with past lives, you can begin to uncover:

• The root of your likes and dislikes
• Patterns in relationships—especially when someone or something irritates you more than seems reasonable
• Karmic threads that may have created blocks or restrictions in this lifetime
• Long arcs of your soul’s journey, revealing how you arrived where you are now
• Hidden talents or abilities carried forward from other lifetimes

There are many reasons to explore past lives, and none of them require belief in anything extreme. It’s simply another way to understand yourself—another mirror.

Some people even feel a past life when having an Akashic Records Reading, a sensation, even an emotion – recognitions that go beyond imagination.

And of course, we hear jokes all the time:

“You must have been a ____ in a past life!”

But beneath the humor is a hint of truth:

We really can learn a lot by looking in the mirror of our own past.
