Have You Known One Another in a Past Life?

Whether it’s a strong sense of familiarity or a keen connection sometimes we just have a feeling we have known someone before. These aren’t unusual encounters, in fact, the soul plans to reconnect with many soulmates from lifetimes past. We don’t have to be a believer in reincarnation to sense that what we are today is built from where we have been before.

In my work as an intuitive reader I have read many, many past lives, some are sad, others are happy, most are somewhere in between. In the lives you have lived in the past, you made many connections. Often, we want to come back and relive those connections. We might have some unfinished work to do, or we may be interested in building on a strong foundation that started long ago.

What are past lives

A past life is simply a life you once lived. Some people have many of them, some have fewer, but I have never come across someone who didn’t have any. What’s important to understand about past lives, isn’t so much that you have had them, but what you carried over from them.

Past life carryover can contribute to talents, goals, skills you possess or would like to learn, and in some cases even phobias. If someone drowned in a past life, it can be typical to have an unexplained fear of water in this one. The same is true in many of the ways we crossed in the past.

A past life will involve other people, and this is where the carryover can get tricky. If you have karma or memory with someone then the carryover isn’t only yours but theirs as well. It will often have to do with things that were left unfinished in the past. Experiences we didn’t get to live with someone, such as being in love but not being able to be together. Or being together but our time was cut short by some outside influence. Goals for experiences such as these might be for healing, communication, expression or harmony.

If the past life experience was positive then you may be interested in continuing what you started before. Often we will see family members coming back together again, perhaps in different roles, to be a part of one another’s lives once more. For purposes of support, love, partnership.

Romantic past lives

While we share past lives with family and friends, we also have romantic partners that we will meet in different lives. This is typically what we think of when we think of soulmates. Although soulmates can be friends and family, romantic soulmates can be some of the most special relationships we have. Often picking up from past lives, we can continue on with what was started long ago.

Having a past life with someone doesn’t automatically make them your soulmate. Karmic relationships consist of being in a relationship with someone that you have known before and have unfinished business with, often for the purposes of healing. These connections will feel very intense, with a strong draw, and turbulent nature.

In contrast, a soulmate will have that same strong draw but there is a more comfortable feeling, these are often life partners and there will be a good deal of companionability. The past lives you have had with another will set the tone for your relationship today. If there was something challenging in the past, you will want to bring balance and harmony back into your relationship in this life. If there were positive experiences in past lifetimes you will want to build on that in this one.

We live many lives, and it’s common to share lives with the same people many times over. Each time we play different roles, have different life goals, and circumstances. Yet, each time around we learn and grow together.

Past lifetimes are windows into our soul’s experiences, and when we come across someone we have shared our life with before, it is like a reunion of sorts. Something to be cherished and appreciated. Who in your life, do you think you have known before? Try not to second guess yourself, your heart and soul know, trust what you feel.
