Why Are Energies From Past Lives Carried Over Into This One?
From a shamanic perspective, there are several answers to this question:
The astral body, the first vehicle of a soul as soon as it emerges from the source, does not die. In it, the soul detaches itself from the transient, i.e., the emotional, mental, and physical bodies. The astral body stores everything it has experienced in order to create new experiences that allow the soul to grow and flourish. From a spiritual point of view, the human body is a vehicle that should be well cared for, but which has a natural expiration date anyway. Once this date is reached, the soul travels on - to the next earthly body, to another planet, to another multiverse, or home. Back to the source that it never really left, because all worlds are the source.
We usually reincarnate into the same family. It is now recognized that unresolved trauma is passed on epigenetically. For example, in this body, I resolved, among other things, trauma that happened to me (aka my soul & my astral body) in the physical body of a great-great-great-grandmother.
Time is an illusion that is needed on this side of the universe in order to experience individuality, forgetting, and remembering on Earth. When I look from the Otherworld, everything happens simultaneously - Lemuria, Atlantis, the great flood, the Vedas, the Egyptians, the Middle Ages, the present, the future. Just as traumatized people experience exactly the same emotions and reaction patterns in their brains when triggered as they did at the time of the traumatic events, the astral body also re-enacts what once led to a fragmentation of consciousness, as if it were happening here and now. This is because for the astral body, whose receptors are attuned to the Otherworld / the afterlife / true reality, only the here and now exists.
This is one reason why so many people benefit from alternative healing methods. Regardless of whether the practitioner and client are aware of it, those who work with energy never work in just one dimension or one level of incarnation.
Everything is interwoven - the physical with the metaphysical, the individual with the collective, yesterday with tomorrow.
