The concept of past lives

Starting this spiritual journey has indeed made me challenge a lot of traditional thinking - most of which stems from the fact that I am a Catholic. Unlike Buddhists, Catholics believe that there is no such thing as a past life, and that you cannot be reincarnated. So I've spent the first 32 years of my life believing that such a concept did not exist.

However, a couple of things now make me believe that the concept does in fact exist. I was curious about past lives because sometimes the card popped up when I was using the Angel Therapy cards deck. The reason I initially undertook a crystal healing session was to figure out any issues with my past lives but there were other things that popped up instead. Since then, I've been trying to explore this concept a lot more, and this led me to purchase Doreen Virtue and Brian Weiss' Past Life Oracle Cards. After ordering them 3 weeks ago, they finally arrived today! Yay!

So, as I usually do, I open up the box in excitement and consecrate the cards whilst I'm at work and dive right in to seeing what information they had for me. The stuff that came out was quite amazing and actually explains a LOT of things. Here's what I got:
  • When asking the general question about what did you want to tell me today, I got the MOTHER card. When I read the explanation, it said that my connection with my mother stemmed from a similar relationship I had with her in a previous life, and that there were certain issues with that that needed to be healed. A consequence of not healing this issue was that I would have a difficult in receiving from others. That made complete sense to me especially as one of the messages I've been receiving CONSTANTLY is to allow myself to receive, that my balance of giving and receiving was completely out of whack, and I had "Mother Healing" issues.
  • I then asked what else they wanted to tell me, and I got the ANGEL card. Well that was really interesting, but when I told another workmate of mine, she told me it made complete sense to her. Obviously I have been relying on the angels a lot over the past months, and I've also been helping and guiding my family/friends. The feeling that I got when I received that card was one of absolute affirmation and calmness - exactly what I feel when I contact my guardian angel.
  • Another one that came out was THE ARTS. Now this makes a LOT of sense to me. Out of my family, I've been the most musically talented, although I never thought much of it. People used to tell me I was naturally gifted and I was just like "meh". It probably explains why I didn't need to practice as much as other kids, why I could pick up a piece of music and play it without having seen it before (I still can in the most part) and why say, I can play certain things by ear. That's a great affirmation to me!
  • So then I asked specifically about me being on this path of healing others, and 4 cards popped out:
    • NATIVE MEDICINE MAN/WOMAN: That's kind of self explanatory, but obviously it means that I used to be in this healing business. It might also explain why I have a native american man as my spirit guide.
    • HIGH PRIEST/PRIESTESS: This would explain why I'm sooo interested in the topic now and open to finding out what else is out there in the spiritual realm. I'm literally spending a lot of my spare time reading about this stuff. The card apparently is a message for me to reignite the knowledge I once had and use it to heal people. That's kind of exactly where I was going in terms of my career as a healer. 
    • PERSECUTION: So then this one pops up that said that in the past I was persecuted because of my spiritual beliefs in healing abilities. It might explain why I'd only talk about taking this new path and blending in the spiritual stuff to people who I know won't think I'm crazy or a nuthead.
    • CELTIC: This one baffles me somewhat but it says there's a reason why I like things like King Arthur and Camelot (which is true). It also says I have a connection with fairies... which explains why I've been getting the FAIRIES card from the Angel Therapy deck over the past few days!
And the list goes on! The thing is, this past lives thing is quite overwhelming, which is probably why I'm actually receiving a headache whilst I'm thinking about it and trying to digest the message. Needless to say, this is definitely a deck I'll be coming back to time and time again!

Ever thought about what you were in a past life? You'd be amazed at how much your experiences back then explain a lot of the things that you are doing right now.

Your body is a temple - well not quite but close enough

Yesterday I had the really good fortune of attending a seminar held by renown mystic and medical intuitive, Caroline Myss. I only read her best selling book, the Anatomy of the Spirit, a few months ago and thanks to synchronicity, managed to sign up to a rare seminar she was holding in Sydney. As jet lagged as she was, Caroline exhibited the most wicked sense of humour I've seen and also had a really great way of explaining spiritual concepts. There's so much to tell you (and so many quotes to share), but let me start with the one analogy that really resonated with me: your body is a building. Essentially, if we think about the building being an apartment block, you'll see that it has a number of levels. The building as a whole doesn't "move" per se, it's the inside of the building that does. Are you with me so far? So now think about the building having 10 levels. Anyone living in the building would have a different view of the world depending on wh...

It pays to being open to receive

I would like this blog post to reiterate to you all the importance of being open to receive from the Universe, especially if you have asked the Universe for help. For me, the past week, I believe that this has been the main theme for me, especially as my reading from Angel Souls a few months back had advised me "to be open to suggestion" and to not be fixated on how I was going to achieve a certain outcome. Many of you know that I am a few weeks away from saying good bye to my law career and fully embracing my massage/healing career. For the months leading up to this stage, I was excited about what post-June would hold for me, but as I was coming into May, I was getting a lot more apprehensive about what I would be doing post-June as I hadn't really been proactively chasing any opportunities (and nothing really fell into my lap). You may recall a few months back I had applied for a massage job at a particular clinic that I could see would really lead me to achieve my ...

Seeing the positives from the negatives - it's a question of perspective

Today was my second last time at the student massage clinic. Next week will be my last for the trimester, and then a welcomed "break" <-- Not really a break, I'm going to a 2 day course in Melbourne in the 2nd weekend of December to further my skills in other areas and intend to use the next 3 months to read up on Anatomy Trains and Esoteric Anatomy - books that MM gave me months ago and I've barely touched the surface on. Anyway, I had two clients back to back this morning. At the end of each massage session, we seek feedback from the client. My first one wasn't the most complimentary, the second one was fine. When my supervisor told me that I had unfavorable feedback from a client, I had that shiver down my spine that I had referred to before. Essentially during the massage she kept asking me to apply more oil and then in her feedback she said that I could have gone faster on some areas of the body (fair point as I ended up missing her arms and neck). The t...
