We have all lived countless lifetimes. Each rebirth is an opportunity for the soul to experience life from a different perspective. The soul chooses what it wants to experience before coming into its next life. Some soul lessons can be extremely challenging. The nature of the soul is to evolve into its ultimate expression of love, wisdom, and compassion. In order to do that, it must experience every aspect of its life — the best, the worst, and everything in between.

This life is a result of the decisions and actions we’ve taken in past lives, the soul contracts we’ve created with others, and the ancestral energies that have influenced us. Regardless of what we have come in with, the most important energy we have at our disposal is free will. Free will, when used correctly, can give us the power to overcome the most difficult circumstances — even to reach enlightenment! This is why each lifetime holds such incredible potential!

We create our future life paths based upon actions and decisions made during past lives, this life, and from our time in-between lives.  We do this in order to receive specific learning experiences, i.e., poverty, fame, being a woman, being a soldier at war, etc. These experiences are here to teach us what it’s like to walk in someone else’s shoes in order to develop empathy and compassion for others. Both challenging and supportive circumstances are aspects of each lifetime that are chosen by us as well. Challenging lifetimes are chosen to help speed up our spiritual development, as having an easy life may prove too comfortable to instill in us a desire to change for the sake of growing.

Your soul group is made up of souls that are committed to helping one another to spiritually grow and evolve over many different lifetimes. The members of the soul group plan together what they will learn and experience in their next life. Oftentimes, but not exclusively, the members of your soul group will also be your family members. Roles are exchanged  in different lifetimes ranging from those that are close to those that are neutral such as: mother, son, sister, uncle, best friend, neighbor, co-worker, and so forth. Our soul comes away from each lifetime with new understandings.

Ideally, soul contracts are agreements enacted between two or more souls to have specific experiences in order to help each other learn and spiritually evolve. In each lifetime we are working on our human selves to reflect the potential of our highest soul selves here on Earth.

These are the gifts, such as: healing, singing, teaching) and challenges (anger issues, fear issues, alcoholism) that we inherit through our mother’s and father’s bloodlines. We also feel the strength of our ancestors as they support us on our soul’s path.

In every lifetime we are given spirit guides to help us throughout our life or through specific times or situations in our life. Some of the types of spirit guides we may encounter are: angelic, ancestral, animal, ascended human guide, extraterrestrial, and more! In each lifetime, we are given gifts to help us with our soul’s development and to be of service to others. We may have come in with the gift to: heal, teach, sing, make beautiful art, make someone laugh, or connect them to spirit. Whatever we do that contributes to the happiness and peace of our fellow beings is part of our spiritual gifts. We have an overarching spiritual path — this is the path that stretches throughout each lifetime until we reach the point of fulfilling our full spiritual potential here on earth.

Is created by us from the seeds of our thoughts, words, and actions from each lifetime.  The results of the seeds we’ve planted may be positive or negative. They are dependent upon our original intentions. If in one lifetime, we are generous with our money, the seed of generosity in a subsequent lifetime may result in having a good income throughout your life. Negative karma results from the planting of negative seeds. If in a past life, you tortured prisoners of war during medieval times by pulling out their teeth, in this lifetime you may find that you have terrible issues with your teeth and need many painful dental procedures. Although karmic consequences may not always have such straightforward results, these examples may help you understand the nature of karma. There are many factors involved in the germinating of our karmic seeds — bad karmic seeds may not germinate if we live subsequent lifetimes of improved moral and ethical behaviors. On the other hand, a negative karmic seed may actualize after many  lifetimes of having evolved our spirit to a high level as a means of burning off any remaining karmic debts…good or bad — before experiencing the transcendence of the soul.

Many of us, in our soul’s journey, have experienced lifetimes as non-human beings from other worlds, and even other dimensions! Known as “star seeds”, these beings have chosen to continue their soul’s development by experiencing the human realm, or they have chosen to incarnate as humans in order to be of service to us. As humans, we may choose to incarnate as other beings for those same reasons.
