Lesson 221: You Have Transitioned From...

Today’s lesson might be far stretched for some based on your own beliefs about your soul and consciousness. It revolves around the fact that our bodies are just containers and we are continually dying, being reborn and then living another new life. Though our consciousness remains and it is a continuous stream from one life to the next, we may not remember our past lives unless we tap into that consciousness to remember and realise we are the same soul. Today we are to remember a past life by going into a meditative state and ask to be shown this. Allow whatever to come and learn from what had happened.

I have journeyed to past lives before. I will share with you my most recent past life. I was shown that I was a boy growing up on a farm. I had a best friend who was my dog who was a small terrier. I remember wheat fields and a house that had a porch. I believe this to be my life before this life. I really adored my mum and I feel like this relationship has transcended into this life. my mother in my previous life has nice rich, red hair and was loving throughout everything. We were both abused by my father though she kept a brave face. I was beaten up by a man who didn’t know any better. I did see myself grow into a successful business man. I moved away from the farm because that life was not for me. I felt like I regretted leaving my mum behind on the farm after my father died but I needed to live my own life and find myself.

What I learned from this past life is that the karma carried over into this life. my father in this life was mentally abusive rather than physically abusive and I did cut him out of my life because I felt his toxicity was just such a cloud over my life, I needed it to stop. I am currently trying to repair that relationship because I realised that he has no power over me anymore. I live my life so separately from his that his words and actions towards me don’t hold a load like it used to. If he makes off cut comments, I realise that it’s due to how he grew up, his environment and sometimes, his close mindedness to his world. I can forgive that and move forward. It was actually such a weight lifted off my shoulders when I could learn this for myself and through past life karma. It’s letting go so that I can grow. I realised that only I can make the change in my life and not allow others to hold me back. I know I did not learn this in my past life and that’s okay! I’m doing the work now to realise the power of self.

I hope that people have the benefit of learning from their past lives. I feel it’s more informative than people like to give credit to. Try it and see what you learn.

Day 221 - A Year to Clear - Say Yes To Self-Care

Lesson 221: Say Yes To Self-Care

Today is all about saying yes to your self-care. Do not feel guilty or bad if you’re not able to help a friend or family member today. Do not feel bad if your household is not in order for today, it’s all about focusing on self right now. If you want to binge TV, do it! if you want to take a nap, do it! If you want to go read in the park, do it! Do something that serves you well and do not focus on others for a day. Is this something you can do?

My Thursday consisted of being taken out by a friend. We went to a lavender farm, a winery and then a chocolate factory. It was a really fun, relaxing day. I did not worry and just enjoyed the Victorian countryside (in Australia) and it was just a lovely day. I didn’t think about what was waiting for me at home. I didn’t worry about anything really and that was a really nice feeling. There wasn’t too much going on in the day but it was nice to get outside, the sun shining and seeing green rolling hills. I felt better that I finally got to see some parts of Victoria that I had never seen before. I don’t have a car, so to have a friend take me out as a birthday gift felt good. If I wasn’t doing that, I actually was just going to binge watch tv or take some extra sleep. I took time away from work just to relax and not have to think about what was going on at work. I am not going away for a holiday or anything like that, but I felt I needed to take this time out as part of my self-care also. I felt like I was getting angry over stupid shitty office politics, that it wasn’t worth being there right now. I don’t even care that I’m using up my annual leave for it as I just needed some time away.

So, I ask you – what are you doing to support yourself in your own self-care?
