How my Past Life Relationships were the Catalyst for Spiritual Awakening

I’ve had two spiritual awakenings, the first one in 2012 and a reawakening in 2020. 

Both of these opportunities for spiritual growth in ascension, were activated and catalysed through romantic relationships, and more importantly, their BREAKUPS! 

Past Life Relationships 

Not all of our relationships have been past life connections, but some of the most profound in our current life may have been. 

These can come in all shapes and sizes from our family, romantic connections, our friends, and even our foes. 

Our souls reincarnate in different lifetimes in order to help awaken us, to connect us back with our authentic truth by mirror reflecting the places we still need to heal, our shadow self, and any karmic debts or unfinished business that are creating blocks in our life. We can use these to deepen our connection to ourselves and others by choosing to understand and integrate the soul lessons we have chosen to explore in this lifetime. 

In order to experience this type of spiritual awakening, we need to be activated by someone else. More often than not they are part of our soul family that we have had past life relationships with. 

The relationships that have come into my life that have offered me the most opportunity for self reflection and growth have been the most challenging… and where a past life connection was present.

These relationships have been key in my spiritual ascension journey by helping me to understand myself, my patterns, release my unhealed wounds and commit to following a path of spirituality, healing and unconditional love for myself. 

How to Recognise Past Life Relationships

Tell-tale sign that may help you recognise a past life relationship that has appeared in your current life is if you have an intense connection and attraction to them, if they seem very familiar like you have known them before, or if you have an instant version or dislike towards each other for no reason. 

Past life relationships can come into your life to be a source of unconditional love and empowerment, but also to help move and shift you for growth through pain, challenges, and suffering. 

My Past Life Relationship Catalyst

In 2012 I realised that my boyfriend at the time was a past life connection when I ended up experiencing my first past life regression session. 

The ending of that relationship projected me into a journey of self exploration, and I began to explore a multitude of psychic and healing modalities… one of which was past life regression. 

It became clear that in that past lifetime, that he (ex) was also an ex in that lifetime who abandoned me, killed me, and took my baby from me (intense I know right) and I was carrying a lot of grief, and pain towards him in this lifetime because of that which was preventing me from healing and moving on. 

We had come back into each other's life in the present in a very intense way so we could clear the karma and break the pattern of suffering. 

In that past life, I was also shown the dynamic that was taking place between my best friend, myself, and my ex in my current life because my best friend was also present in that same past life time. However, she wasn’t my friend in that lifetime…. She was his (my ex) MOTHER. 

In that previous lifetime, she had been a queen and had ordered my death because she didn’t want her son (my ex) to be with me, and although he didn’t want to do it, he had to abide by the rules or be banished. 

This revealed so much clarity around the dynamic that was now appearing in my current life, because my best friend acted like MY mother in this life, and she did everything that she could to protect me from my ex-boyfriend, even to the point where they had huge conflicts and arguments over me. 

Through that past life I was able to see where I was holding on to residual fear and grief and why I couldn’t let my ex go and why resentment was showing up between my friend and I. 

Both of these important relationships in this life also helped to reflect back to me where I was still hiding who I was and where I was suppressing my voice in my life. 

I was able to forgive myself, my friend and my ex for any wrongdoings and eventually clear the karma in order to let it go so I could move on and be happy again. I was able to see my own shadows and take accountability for the places that I had acted out of integrity within that relationship and as a result was able to create better relationships with them both.

 (Ps we are still all great friends to this day which wouldn’t have been able to happen without the healing and insights gained from our past life.)

My Second Spiritual Awakening and Past Life Relationship 

Another profound past life relationship that came into my life to connect me further to my true self, and my spiritual journey was a romantic connection that I had in 2020. 

Although this person was short lived in my life, the connection was deep and instant… as if we had known each other before. (Because we had)

By this point, I was a fully trained past life regression therapist and we spoke about this in our very first meeting as he was somewhat familiar with the concept and very interested in it. 

During the time that we were dating, I experienced a few different impromptu visions from past lives that we had shared. 

The recurring theme of these past life relationships, were of leaving each other or abandoning each other. 

The theme of abandonment was an unresolved, energetic residue that I had carried from previous lifetimes, and had appeared in my current life from childhood.

By understanding the patterns and themes that were being played out in these lifetimes, I was able to recognise the purpose of this relationship so I could heal those old abandonment or codependency wounds. 

It reflected back the places in my life that I wasn’t committing to myself and my purpose, where I was giving my power away, and where I was abandoning myself. 

As short lived in this relationship was, it was profound because I was able to connect and integrate the wisdom and insights from these past lives in order to grow, heal, take my power back and commit to my path of purpose in this lifetime. 

Conclusion 

Past life connections have come into your life for a reason, so take a look at your relationships. The ones that hurt, the ones that helped and notice where some may have been past life connections. 

Were you able to understand and clear the energy, the karma, the unfinished business, patterns, or woundings from yourself? 

Were you able to see the bigger picture of why these relationships entered your life again and have you been able to learn the soul lessons needed to grow and evolve into your highest potential in life and love? 

If this is something you would like to explore or understand at a deeper level. If there is a relationship or pattern in your life that you want to know more about or release but don’t know how, then you can book a session or work with me in one of my transformational coaching programs.
