Have We Been Here Before? A Gentle Look at Past Lives and Karma

Ever felt a pull to a place you’ve never been? Or met someone and just knew you’d known them before—even if you couldn’t explain how? You’re not imagining it. You might be remembering.

 

The idea of reincarnation—that our consciousness returns again and again in different forms—isn’t just spiritual folklore. From the Tibetan plateau’s to the forests of India, it’s a belief that spans cultures and centuries. And whether you see it as poetic or literal, there’s something comforting and intriguing about the thought that life doesn’t just stop.

Now, let’s talk karma—not the pop-culture “what goes around comes around” stuff but something deeper. Think of karma like momentum. Choices made in one life ripple into the next. Not punishment. Not reward. Just movement. A soul of stream of awareness’s learning curve, if you like.

So what does this have to do with your panic attacks, your fear of deep water, or your instant connection with a stranger on the train from Queen Street to Partick?

Maybe everything. Past life echoes can show up in the strangest ways—in our relationships, our health, even the work we’re drawn to. Sometimes, just recognising the thread is enough to shift something.

That’s where energy work comes in. Practices like Reiki healing create a safe space for those deeper layers to move—gently, without having to know the full story. You don’t need to “figure it all out.” You just need to listen.

And sometimes, that’s when the healing begins.

We don’t always get the full picture. But if you’re curious, if you’ve ever wondered why you feel the way you do—or who you really are beyond this one life—it’s worth sitting with the question.

Because healing doesn’t always start from the beginning. Sometimes, it starts by remembering we’ve never truly ended.
