  • Weekly Astrological Forecast for February 26 through March 3, 2024

    February 26 through March 3, 2024

    We'll get an extra day of February this week, thanks to it being leap year! Balance is the theme the first half of the week as the Moon drifts through loving Libra and makes relationships with ourselves and others the focus. The second half of the week belongs to a Scorpio Moon, and in combination with the Pisces Sun, this is a great time to practice your metaphysical skills, try some channeling to connect with others from the Spirit world, or simply increase your meditation time to strengthen your inner wellness and intuitive powers. We can designate Sunday as a play day under the Sagittarius Moon, opting for social or relaxing activities to lighten our spirits and bring joy to our worlds.

  • The Evolving Soul and Your Past Life Purpose: Connecting the Dots of Past Lives

    The Evolving Soul and Your Past Life Purpose: Connecting the Dots of Past Lives, by Dr. Linda Backman

    (Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

    The title of the first chapter of my new book, The Evolving Soul, is "Tripping Over Your Soul Self," which provides a clear description of the over-riding purpose of the book. Each and every one of us chooses to incarnate with intended "Soul-Sole" commitment—that is to continue and, perhaps speed-up, your evolution as a soul. You are, no more and no less, a soul living another life aiming to grow and expand.

    You might consider this explanation too simple. The truth is that soul evolution in each life is often painstaking and complex.

    In order to progress as a soul, it is essential that you "trip over" who you are at the core. My new book, The Evolving Soul: Spiritual Healing Through Past Life Exploration, provides explanation and guidance about how you can discover why you agreed to incarnate today in order to climb your "soul ladder" with meaning.

    I am a psychologist and regression therapist, and as such I've filled The Evolving Soul with client regression accounts. Each client example provides food for thought surrounding your raison d'etre in life today.

    There is a rationale and deliberate order in our universe. By this, I mean that there is a just structure and coordination. The Evolving Soul will expand your understanding of the configuration of moving from one lifetime to the next. To skim the surface of the organization of our soul world, here are some key elements:

    • Advanced souls, called Master Guides, manage and coordinate all souls.
    • Each soul has a team of guides and teachers who support them
    • As a soul we have a specific, eternal archetype that informs each of our lives.
    • We create a pre-birth blueprint with our guides before incarnation.
    • We incarnate repetitively within a small, as well as a larger, conglomerate soul group.
    • In life we always have free will.
    • We are required to incarnate in order to evolve.
    • Each lifetime is linked to the next for advancement.

    I would suppose your next question is, "How can I learn more about my past lives, my past life relationships, and my plan for this life?"

    You might also ask, "How can I communicate with my guides to receive direction and to know that I am actually following my intentions for my life today?"

    The answer to all of these questions is basic. You must learn to use your intuition, as well as trust that you can easily "trip over" the answers in your everyday life.

    Let's begin with INTUITION—capitalized because it is a skill within each of us that we can learn to enhance.

    Tips to Enhance Your Intuitive Senses
    Your intuitive abilities come in six modes. Though all of us have these intuitive skills, we're stronger in some than in others:

    1. Clair-voyance: Vision as if your mind were a movie screen
    2. Clair-audience: Hearing as if you're being spoken to
    3. Clair-cognition: Thoughts that just occur to you
    4. Clair-sentience: Emotions that arise for no apparent reason
    5. Clair-kinesthesia: Sensing a physical symptom
    6. Clair-alience: Smelling something that is not present

    Practice and trust are the essential element to using intuition. Experiment with a friend. Tune intuitively to how your best friend's day is going, then call them to determine if you are correct. Don't forget to rely on your thoughts that you may think arise from your own "mind creation," but are actually intuitive in nature. Always remember that no one's intuition is accurate one hundred percent of the time.

    Soul Regression
    In my regression therapy practice, I guide clients via hypnosis. Through the use of an altered state of consciousness, clients utilize their intuition to discover significant past lives, guides, and their soul (or higher self) awareness of life purpose. In addition, during soul regression, your spiritual guides and teachers will shed light on your current state of soul progress.

    I invite you to experience Kenneth's regression details. Take time now to read and feel your way through Kenneth's soul regression. Notice that this client is handed many details about how his past life is tied to life today. Plus, Kenneth's guide is quite forthcoming with specifics about his pre-birth blueprint.

    This soul regression account begins just after Kenneth has died in his past life as a Native American chief named "Blackhawk."

    "This is a very emotional reunion. I am in the center of a circle with my guides and soul family all around me. In the circle I am Blackhawk. I wear a breastplate that has a stone on the back. The stone is touching my skin. This stone is a reminder to me to bring the principles and rationale for Blackhawk's life into my life and my goals today.

    [Kenneth's primary Guide speaks.] Blackhawk and you are to support and guide others to be clear in their own life path. You are fully one at this time with Blackhawk; you are he, and he is you. When you hesitate with your life purpose you are to come to me, your primary Guide, to be invigorated. Be sure to speak fully and clearly. Do not be afraid. Also, do not forget to laugh. This is highly important to keep you moving forward, but remembering to be "light" at times.

    Each soul extends far beyond human comprehension. You are always more than you think you are. The part of your soul that inhabits your body is complete and full. Yet, this part is only a drop of all that you are.

    Your heart will allow you to enter your greater consciousness. Do not forget about your heart. You cannot fulfill your soul agreement without your heart."

    Kenneth, using his intuitive capability, had discovered his life as Blackhawk prior to his soul regression. The "spotlight" provided by his guide and the essential merger of Blackhawk's and Kenneth's life purpose were new and stark for Kenneth. Following this session Kenneth had his "marching orders," and was eager to move forward.

    Deepening Your Soul Awareness
    Let's talk about how you can use intuition or soul regression (or combine both) to reveal your significant past lives, connecting the dots of your soul journey. It is crucial that you pay close attention, at all times, to your thoughts, feelings, and life circumstances, because you'll be able to "trip over" and figure out your life purpose.

    Please take your time as you move through each of the following suggestions to unearth your lives, soul relationships, and why you are embodied today:

      • Think about the people who are, or have been, part of your life. Be sure to not only consider those people with whom you've had a great relationship. Always consider those "prickly" relationships that you wished would end. At the soul level we make agreements to have a particular type of relationship, even if uncomfortable, in order to release karma and clean up past life issues.When my first child was born the doctor said, "You have a healthy boy." Then I said, "My Dad will be so happy;" I had no idea why I made this statement. Many years, later I discovered that the soul of my Dad was my mother in a life during World War II. In the past life I was the older sister and had a very young brother (the soul of my current life, first child), and my brother was taken away.

      • Your past lives are revealed in your present life through desires, fears, compulsions, and physical symptoms:
        • What period of history fascinates you?
        • What area of the world would you like to visit?
        • What type of work interests you, even if you're not trained or you think the pay would be insufficient?
        • Do you have a long-standing pain in a part of your body that is unexplained?
        • Are you afraid to have a child but don't know why?

      • Examine the key events in your life to discover who you are as a soul:
        • Did you have a serious illness before age 10? Could this be a means to heal how you died in past life? Could this be learning for your parents to deepen their commitment to parenting?
        • As a child did you dislike going to church every week? Could this be related to a past life where you were harmed for your beliefs?
        • Did you grow up being fascinated by studying military history? Could this indicate that your soul archetype is about strategy and implementing a plan as a type of warrior?
        • Do you have an innate skill as a musician, artist, or negotiator? Did you carry over these skills from one or more past lives?
        • Did a teacher in high school or college suggest that you study medicine, engineering, or Asian Studies? Are you being guided to follow experiences and knowledge in past lives?

    • Your passions disclose your life purpose or the intentions you set in motion in your pre-birth agreement:
      • Do you love to understand particular subjects deeply, never being tired of learning even more?
      • Is caring for animals your deepest urge?
      • Is caring for children, your own or those of others, what you love the most?
      • Is resolving conflict in your family, your personal life, or where you work, what causes your greatest satisfaction?
      • Is simply being a committed friend to others the highlight of your day?

    Many of my clients think their life purpose has to be a magnanimous and highly obvious activity or job, such as writing books, being a university professor, heading a company, or something similar. Nothing could be farther from the truth. What is most meaningful for you in life IS tied to your life intentions. For some of us, our work is our passion. For others of us our work is the way we pay our bills, and our soul desires fulfill us without serving as employment.

    Particular agreements contained within your pre-birth blueprint may be primarily for your soul evolution, or primarily for the evolution of others, or could be balanced for all parties. For instance, if you wonder why you were born into a family where abuse happened, you may have agreed to be the victim of abuse with the intent for your parent/s to advance in learning how not to be.

    Remember there is only one reason you are incarnate today, and that is to evolve as a soul. As you evolve, you affect the greater and needed evolution of Humanity. When you use intuition to decide how to move forward in life today you are allowing your spiritual guides to direct your life journey.

    I invite you to read The Evolving Soul, as well as my first book, Bringing Your Soul to Light. Both books include numerous soul regression accounts, and you'll learn more about soul archetypes, soul ascension, spiritual guides, ET lives, split incarnations, and much more.

    Honor yourself at the core level of your soul. Know that you are here with purpose.

  • Double Vision: Why Do I Attract Cars and Accidents?

    Double Vision: Menacing presence in car with her?

    Over the past several years, I've had three serious car accidents. I've never been hurt, and each of them were the fault of the other driver. Regardless, the financial and emotional drain of these accidents has been so stressful. In the first accident, I lost my car altogether. I find myself very bitter that these accidents kept happening, and am beginning to wonder if I am some sort of magnet for automobiles. I only say this because, as weird as this sounds, cars seem to always show up in or around my energy space. For example, I can be on a quiet street and a car will suddenly swing out of an alley or garage smack in front of me. I have been in semi-empty parking lots and all of a sudden everyone is parking their car next to mine, even if there are other more convenient spaces available. I am trying to put one and one together. There must be some reason for all that has happened in my life. What do you think? Thanks!

    Mabel

    Dreamchaser:

    Mabel, you ARE attracting these car experiences. The first one was an actual accident, but you manifested the second two.

    Quantum Physics explains that what we believe and focus upon is what we create, so in thinking about your first accident, you created the next two accidents. You became hyper-alert to the vehicles that were around you - you were in a way just WAITING for your next accident.

    I was living in a very urban area for quite some time. There were accidents there all the time. I used my spiritual friends to keep me and mine safe. Every time I would get in my car, I would ask my road angels to surround the car. I would actually envision angels at all four corners of my car and one hovering over the roof. They would act as guides and bumpers for me in my head.

    At the same time, however, I also just knew that I was protected. That is the key for you. You have to FEEL safe and protected again. Everyone has road angels available to them; I suggest you use yours. You WILL feel their protection once you start asking for them.

    Another thing that you can do is go out (preferably at night while your neighbors are sleeping so they will not think you are a crackpot) and sprinkle regular table salt all around the outside of your car on the ground. Basically, draw a line of salt all around your car. Once that is done, you need to say a prayer like this: "Universe, I ask that you protect this vehicle and any other vehicle I am in. I ask that you give me a sense of peace and safety." Then go back inside.

    Every single morning when you wake up, before your feet even hit the floor, I need for you to do the following. Say three times (and I mean THREE times!):

    "Today I will create safety around myself and any vehicles I am in."

    Remember, you must say it three times. Then get up and know that you are protected. If you start to believe that you have the Universe working with and for you, then you will start to see all the vehicles around you simply as vehicles sharing your road space instead of potential threats to your safety.

    If you do these things, you WILL be protected. Period. Then you can believe it and can go back into the world with confidence. In the recent past, every time you have stepped out your door, you have done so with a sense of foreboding. That will end now.

    I wish you well-being!

    Astrea:

    If you are a Fire Sign, I think that's your answer, Mabel. For some reason, we Fire Signs seem to attract energy from things that burn fossil fuels. This also seems to have something to do with one's age, as Fire Signs tend to attract cars and accidents between the ages of 18-30. The good news is that you'll probably outgrow this no matter what sign you are.

    Some people draw accidents, some draw electrical problems, and some even manifest money issues. The feelings that we have to deal with when we see a pattern we want to break can be hard to dispel. Unfortunately, trying to do it on your own can make you angrier about the situation, which can draw even MORE of the sort of thing that you're trying to avoid.

    In your case, this whole pattern feels really unfair to you. The bitterness you feel about all these accidents just keeps drawing more accidents and cars to you, so you are going to have to find some way to deal with that.

    Here is one way to end some of the bitter feelings in your life so you can move on from this pattern of experience. This ritual is great for banishing a problem or any OTHER unwanted thing from your life, and your feelings about what has been happening will evaporate too!

    Buy a brand new pen or marker with purple ink. Purple dyes and inks are still made from pokeberries, and pokeberries are unusual in that there isn't a fixative in the berries that sets the purple color, so these are the least permanent of all inks. (NEVER get this ink in your mouth, as purple inks are poisonous if ingested.)

    Draw a picture of a car on a piece of plain white paper in your purple ink. Then draw a circle around the picture with a line through it, like on a NO SMOKING sign. Put the paper up on your wall somewhere. As the purple ink fades, so will your bitter feelings about your accidents, and all your problems with cars will fade as well.

    Every time you look at the drawing, remember that you're not going to be bitter about the past, and that you're not going to bring anymore accidents or car trouble into your life. When the ink has faded, your bitterness will have faded right along with it.

    Continuing to feel worried or bitter is something that will continue to draw these kinds of accidents to you and your household, so the sooner you can get over it, the better all your lives will be.

    Astrea:

    Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

    Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

    While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

    I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

    As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

    I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

    You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

    Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

    A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

    You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
