I recently was in Williamsburg, VA, a place that has long been near and dear to my heart. I have been there often over the last fifty-plus years, beginning with my first visit right out of college. At that time, I did not equate a familiarity with a particular place to past-life recall. In my most recent visit, I was with someone who did not share the part of my past life that occurred in and around Williamsburg. We had dinner at the Kings Arms Tavern. Occasionally, I found myself glancing at the candle on the table and out the window at the Raleigh Tavern across the street. I would get a flash of memory at that moment, but because I knew my companion could not share that moment with me, I quickly turned away and returned to the here and now.

This was the complete opposite of the experience I had when I was with someone who DID share that lifetime with me. Every moment we were together, every experience we had strolling Duke of Gloucester Street, took us both back to the time we did that in another time and another life. It was melancholy to be sure because while we could lose ourselves momentarily in the recreated energy of that time and place, it was fleeting. We knew we couldn’t stay there. We soaked it up for all it was worth and then, as if awakened by a loud thump, returned to the here and now.

Not everyone is fortunate enough to live close to or near the place they lived in a prior life, but that does not mean they don’t experience memory triggers that give them a road map back to their prior lifetime. This often happens for people who pick the same destination for their vacation year after year. Something about that place draws them to it and once there, they may or may not, experience a flash of memory–a recognition that they may have been there before. Something feels familiar, or smells familiar. It’s in the air. It’s in the food. It’s in the buildings. It’s in the landscape. Being there triggers some level of memory, even though you may not be able to identify its origin. It’s a deja vu experience unlike any other. 

Memory triggers manifest in many ways. You have an instant dislike for something, or on the flip side, you’re enthralled with something. Colors. Smells. Numbers. Architecture. Paintings. Music. Cultures–all play a part in giving you clues as to your past life identity. For individuals who do not want to undergo hypnosis (or guided imagery as I call it) for a regression, there is a way to identify those memory triggers and that’s through the Resonance Method of Past-Life Recall. With this method, you put on your detective hat and consciously look at areas of your life where those triggers may exist. You examine the likes and dislikes of your childhood; the Deja Vu experiences you’ve had; geographic locations; cultures and eras; foods; decor; the arts; religion; talents; physical traits;  occupations; hobbies; personality; dreams and visions; recurring patterns; and people you know. Writing down the positive and negative aspects of each category evolves into a virtual past-life map, giving you enough clues to zero in on aspects of your soul’s journey.  

So pay attention to the memory triggers in your life. They hold a lot of information and exist to help you piece together the remnants of an important former life and how it is impacting you today.
