When a **Touch** triggers Past Life Memories

I would like to hear of experiences regarding *touch* and how when another person touched you - i.e holding hands, shaking hands, a hug, - how that action....resulted in a past life memory.

A friend of mine asked me to tell him if I ever picked up on anything from a past life between us- about two months ago - to share it with him. I said sure.....but never felt or saw anything. Until last night. He reached over to hold my hand -and a flood of memories came in a vision; I watched - as I saw him in the past as an Indian man..with full feathers draped down him back. He was chanting and dancing around the fire with several other men. The whole community was there -and so was I -as another man.. The vision was so clear, the chanting -the language. A new baby was wrapped in a blanket -and I was admiring her. I could hear people talking - in their native tongue. It was - so beautiful.

The next day I got up the nerve to ask him if he ever felt any affiliations for American Indians. - After he went in to detail about YES and how -I told him what I saw. He said when he reached for my hand -he was hoping -that the answer to his question which he asked in silence---"When have I known her before..." would surface. I only wish - I could have pushed a power button and let him see..in full color - and in surround sound..the chant -the dance - the flame of the fire, the baby girl. ssiggghhhh

It was beautiful knowing from the past -and a very good -friendship, based on honor, and spirit.

Anyway - I thought this question might start up some good conversations about - PL experiences that began with a *touch.*
 
Hi Deborah

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful experience – and I bet your friend was equally as gutted that you couldn’t share the experience in full colour and surround sound, I know I would be ;)

When I read this question, my mind started niggling to try and remember a time when something similar happened to me, because I know there is a memory of something arising due to touch (my mind whirled as soon as it saw your title and question, which tells me it’s trying to remember something I put away for a later time back there), but do you think I can bring it forward into my conscious mind!!! It’s not on the tip of my tongue, it’s on the tip of my memory…LOL…guess I’ll have to use your old favourite quote in this case and say “I’ll be back” :)
 
Alas, no touch "triggers" for me - the past life information I've gotten seems to come from feelings and situations which seem to be mirroring what's happened in previous lives. Would really like to get some visions as you do, but I guess I shouldn't complain, as I've still experienced some cool stuff.

However, I'm responding here to ask if you feel there's a connection between your Native American vision you had with your friend and the dream you recently posted in the Dream section here? Has this already occurred to you?

I was wondering if the dream helped in triggering your vision.
 
*S*S*S

I know you will remember a time when it happened to you Kelly! ;)

bishopk - you know the same thing dawned on me when I posted this last night. After reading Sheild's link in the dream section for me..I am more and more inclined to see a connection between the two and that the dream was perhaps - a memory which triggered the vision with my friend a few days later. I am still assimilating it but will keep you posted. :):)
 
Hi Deborah and Kelly (and everyone else)...

The only time I can remember a touch triggering memories of a past life was when my husband and I were in the middle of a very nasty argument that had gotten very physical. He was restraining me because I wanted to hurt him (I was so angry I was out of control). While we were struggling, I saw an image of myself back when I was a Swiss-German woman named Elzbeth in the early 1600's.

It's a very long story (I have posted it several times over the years on this forum) but her and her husband did not get along very well, it being mostly her fault because she despised him. But they were in the middle of an argument and were struggling in the very same manner as my husband and I had been struggling that night. That's when I knew that my husband in that lifetime was now my husband in my present lifetime.

Cheers!

I can't remember any PL's or people from a touch..............BUT I DO think that is why I like to HUG people so much! ;) Just waiting for one of those.

And then there are those who you just WOULDN'T hug also. Must be something there, you'd think.
 
Thank You Jason.......

BTW -I think about you everyday in Baghdad..hoping you are safe -and well. It is always a pleasure to see you here.

Many Blessings to you and others caught in the conflicts of war.
You have a bright future Jason -of that I am sure. :)
 
Deborah,
There is a regression technique where touch is used to locate and activate past lives. Past lives are associated with body areas. For instance I was stabbed underneath the heart in one life. Finger-tip touch on this area put me in connection with that life together with the related details.
 
Very Interesting.

I am not familiar with the actual technique -but I do know that when I have had energy work done -and the therapist touches different parts of my body -different life times surface. So I have no doubt that what you say is true! :)

I wonder how many regressionists actually use touch as a trigger though?
 
Goldenage:
What is the name of this technique? I'd like to experience that further....I've never had a touch regression before, but I KNOW I need one! ;-)
 
Robin and Deborah,
The thought about touch regression seems right to me too. I often can get in touch with memories my own and sometimes others by focusing on a specific point of my or someone elses body or aura. In this case I think that physically touching someone and concentaring on the engery of for instance a point below their neck works the same way.
 
Holding Hands.............

I just remembered! Back in 1994 -

When my son Daniel was around nine years old, and after doing extensive past life regressions myself, I decided to try something new. I asked Daniel if he wanted to meditate with me...his eyes lit up, and said,"yah what’s that?"

I had done most of my meditating when he was in school or somewhere else due to the noisy household I had at the time. :o) I told him it was a form of relaxing, that the light in his inner vision could take him to anyplace in his mind that he would like to go. Daniel talked of the light when he was younger so he was familiar with it. We set a timer for fifteen minutes so that we both would know when the time was up and he agreed to lay quiet and still until the bell rang. We both laid down on my bed, and I held his hand. I had put on some Tibetan Bell music and told him that the sound of the music would help him to relax and to watch for anything he might “see“ when relaxing.

It was a beautiful experience, he laid perfectly still for 15 minutes, his breathing was shallow and he held my hand softly. I went into an altered state very fast, as he must have too. The inner light was beautiful and the unconditional love I felt between us was beyond words. When the buzzer went off, he sat up slowly and looked at me with the most amazing amount of wonder in his eyes.

He said, "Did you see all the fog mommy? Wasn't it cool? That barn was awesome we had so much fun!" I got chills, and tears in my eyes because I had seen and experienced the same thing. In more detail, but his confirmation to me, before I said anything was truly a gift. We can “share” memories with our children and with others.

What I experienced was in the mid 1600‘s, in England. It was cool outside, and very foggy. He was my best friend and we were playing in a barn near my house, I knew we had spent many childhood days playing, working and hiding in that barn. He was a mischievous little boy of about seven and I of about eight. My name was Kayln. His name was Aron (sp?). Meditating with our children can bring unseen gifts, for both the parent and the child. Perhaps holding hands - lead us to the same past life???? Just as my first example showed?

Has anyone here ever mediated with someone else and held hands while doing so?
 
That is so sweet. I can't wait to find out something about my past with my son.
But as far as touch goes--yes, I had that happen quite recently. It was very intense because although I know a bit about one of my past lives with my dad, I have never actually seen it. But quite recently I met my boyfriend, and from the night we met there has been something so intimate and intense and familiar between us, it's been almost hard to believe. I have never felt so connected with anyone. I had my first spontaneous past life memory of him. One morning after we had been together about three weeks we were laying in bed kind of dozing in and out of sleep. We were facing eachother with our foreheads touching, and I was kind of falling asleep again, but not quite. Everything went sort of fuzzy and grey and suddenly I was in an old Quaker school house. I didn't really look at myself, but I looked down and saw the desk with a rut to put the slate in, etc. A little boy was called on to go to the front of the class. He was about seven, and I never saw his face. But when he was walking up the aisle I just felt all warm looking at him, and felt the same kind of love and familiarity I feel for him now, and I knew it was Bryce. I just thought, 'oh, there's Bryce!' then came out of it. I didn't tell him about it right away, but when I did tell him he said he didn't see that himself, but he remembers that morning feeling an electric charge between our heads. It made me really really happy to be feeling this for someone, and to realize I have loved him for a long time. It is very new to me to get to feel like I have found someone I must have been missing for a very long time.
 
I had two occassions that come to mind

1.) With regards to the birthmark that looks like a scar on my back. when I slept over my friends house a lot of times she and I took baths together (we used to be alone cos her mom worked late nights so we'd be scared to bathe alone) we were like 14 and she had seen the mark on my back and touched it and I screamed. Pretty much just a reaction but I swore it felt as if a knife plunged into my flesh there, again no visual things to report
:(
2.) one time when I was like 16, I had a one time kiss with a certain guy; alot of fear filled me and scared me; then later that night I had a dream about a guy that looked different and we were together but not for long.I saw him later and his appearance totally changed and he looked like the guy in my dream. Also he looked like the man I was married to in dreams I had btween the ages of 4 and 12 yrs. old I think this means we had 2 lifetimes together and they both ended badly. The funny thing is at the time that I had kissed him that night I remembered the moon being over on the right side and when I opened my eyes again it was on the left side. Don't know why that would be.
 
Great topic - Touch is so important!

I am taking the opportunity to check in while my family is golfing.... We're on vacation, and I'm using my husband's laptop. :)

I don't recall ever tuning into a past life through touch, but I do believe that the way we feel when touching others can show us the state of our soul connection with that person AND it can reveal what kind of relationship we may have had in a past life with that person.

People who are psychically sensitive will probably experience more past life memories through touch. One of best friends, for instance, who is a psychic, cannot stand to be massaged (sad! :( ) because she picks up too much about the massage therapist, and it drives her crazy! (Deborah - Does that happen to you? :D )

Touch is so powerful and important - and so revealing! I have students, for instance, whom I just hug spontaneously or put my arm around almost every time I see them. I know teachers have to be careful about "touching" - and with high school kids, it can be a little tricky at times. But warm, caring, appropriate hugs mean a lot to kids. With some of them it is so automatic and so natural that I believe we have been close friends or family before. On the other hand, in a past life, you may have had a sexual relationship, and that can feel a little awkward. Hugging those people can feel inappropriate and not exactly comfortable (so avoiding hugging is OK!!).

I usually pick up on past lives through the "vibes" I get from people and dreams, but I can also tell - in a feeling way - whether we had a warm, caring relationship by the way we touch now. :)
 
I can't say that I've directly remembered anything as a result of touch...at least, not yet.

However, there is something that I think is connected with my past-life experience. I'm not much of a "hug" person-- I hug my family on occasion, but they, to me, seem too "huggy" for my taste...At any rate, when I hug them or anyone else, I kind of feel like I'm holding something back-- that I'll only be able to truly embrace when I'm holding my soulmate in my arms...

I tend to have connections to a past life due to injuries rather than gentle touch. I've had a couple of brief violent actions done to me which are reminiscent of Beckey's experience. I have a number of memories of being beaten up, bruised, injured in various ways both because of accidents and because of attacks, and these tend to parallel slightly in this life. I get the same injury in a different way, or, more often, a much lesser injury of the same type in the same place. I don't really mind too much being injured (once the initial shock of pain and anger is past); I was used to it happening all the time, in the past life, and at the time I was so desperate for contact I'd take anything. Also, in being somewhat righteously indignant about a number of things, I got myself into trouble with bigger men who were better fighters. In this life I've only gotten myself into physical trouble with other people rarely, and other bruises, etc. have been because I'm accident-prone (or because of medical conditions). But when I do get attacked by a person, it's interesting, kind of a chance to replay an old experience... it also makes me very frightened of the person though, since I'm already flighty and negative around people and don't trust anyone. That's not because of my being injured last time. It's because I got betrayed by a person I never thought could do that to me, so I came back this time knowing no one is to be trusted at all. I often think someone is going to be violent to me. If they _do_ get violent, that just confirms that they aren't trustworthy. I have ambivalent feelings about touch from those who connected to me in a past life. I want the contact, but I also tend to want to be left with complete escape on all sides. It's changeable.
 
There is an essential feeling about an energy that I personally believe never changes, which I call an essential signature. I feel similar energies in people whom I feel come from the same soul group; Nino and I seem to have a similar signature, as far as I can be aware of mine, except that his tends to be weak on its own - or did, when he was drinking badly. John has the most wonderful essential signature - it's like sweet wonderful butter, except not greasy! Just soft and delicious and sweet...Damon's feels like I am fitting my energy into a missing part of me. Not identical, but it makes the energy vibrate higher. I can feel essential energies linger in objects. I have kept Tom's bathrobe, unwashed, for years, because his essential signature is still in it...

I also have psychometric skills and that's how they work! Good to know I'm not the only one :) I've kept a really pretty stone a close friend of mine gave me untouched. There's other stuff, but I can understand the essential signature perfectly.

I've tried explaining it to people, who often confuse it for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but it most certainly isn't.

Sometimes, I have to touch something or someone for assurance of something. This is fascinating :thumbsup:
 
I receive very vivid memories and feelings through touch. It's a very important part of who I am. Normally, I am a very tactile person, and I enjoy being physically connected to others.

The "feelings" and "knowing" happen frequently while the memories usually only happen with people I share a deep connection with. Once when I was sitting with my best friend, and I reached out and put my hand on his arm. A wave of warmth passed between us and I had a flash of him in a past life. He looked at me kind of funny and said "Did you feel that?" I smiled at him and said "Yes, and now I know why you hate red so much." He looked stunned and he said "I just remembered, too. I was a prostitute who died wearing a red dress...there was a fire. You were there, too." I nodded and told him that he was my Aunt. We compared several more "memories" and they were all quite similar, which was really interesting.

we both enjoy the 18th century,the reenactment
it was a lovely time at the event in germany with him and we are planning to meet eachother more , we are both so in love ! i know this man is someone from my past,i just know it !
 
Wow Deborah... that sounds like it was a pretty powerful experience... I myself have never experienced such a thing... but I guess I get chills and feelings and emotions that flood between certain people... sometimes like De Ja Vou, and sometimes just feelings and thoughts that don't really make much sense...
 
I'm curious to know if anyone else here has experienced touch as a trigger to a pl memory?

I love this thread...what can I say, I am a touchy-feely kind of girl! :D


Ailish
 
I find this whole topic amazing!!! Wow, what really touched me Deborah was your story with your little boy and your memory in the 1600's! :D
Does anyone else have anything to add?
 
I wish I had something to add. I feel left out :( A lot of members here have past live memories, dreams, and memories triggered by touch. I have none of the above. :(

You do have past life memories, Military, in my opinion we all do, but you have to learn how to recognize them.


In my case, and i'm sure everybody else is the same, there are certain "feelings" about things that have been there for so long, that it's easy just to overlook them, feelings that have been within you for so long that they are just "part of the furniture" so to speak. For example, it could be a certain emotion triggered by say.... a rainy day, something that has always been there and you have always just taken it for granted. It could be an inexplicable fascination for a certain time period or event in history, have you ever asked yourself "why do I feel that way towards this or that"?


Then when you start looking at some of these things from a reincarnation point of view, you begin to realize that these feelings are there for a reason and you begin to see things in a different light. So don't feel left out, we've all been here before, and we all have memories... ;)

Awe, it's ok! Sometimes it's just plain normal to not have any past life experiences. I think we forget that when reading posts here sometimes.


We only feel left out if we choose to. That's what I've been told anyways. :D
 
Well, yes I guess I do in a sense. If you can count the "reach out and touch someone" in the AT&T kind of way. [remember the commercials from the phone company?] This may belong in another thread, perhaps a new one, but honestly, I have enjoyed reading this thread so much I feel almsot compelled to keep it going so that others can get a glimpse of this cool way of connecting with people and memories.


It was about 15 years ago now. I was at home alone and the phone rang. I answered it and I was immediatly frozen in my tracks at the voice on the other end. A woman's voice asked me, "Is Joe Meetsel,...Mietsel..., Meatzel? home?" She kept misprouncing my room mate's name.


"Mietzel" I said. "Nope,.. he's at work." I replied. "But I can take a message if you'd like." I swear, I never wanted to hear anyone speak so much before. I was just blown away at the sound of her voice. Not in the musical sense, because it was just an average voice in that way. I mean... I just was so instantly connected with this person, i had never felt anything that instant and huge before.


"Sure" She said. "This is Michelle from... (insert Charlie Brown unintelligible words here.) It didn't matter what she was saying. I just wanted her to keep talking. and in that vein I tried as much as I could to keep her on the line. And for what it's worth, so did she. I could feel that as well. There was something there so strong and unexpected we were both blown away and didn't quite know what to do about it. So we made what small talk we could that made sense. Eventually there came a silence and neithere of us could think of what else to say other than what was going through our minds, which was. "Call me when you are not at work." I didn't have the guts, and though she waited for it, and being under such odd circumstances she was in no position to ask me either.


So there it was. A couple of blissfull platitudes later and me promising to give Joe the message we hung up. I'll regret forever having not summoned that mental courage to go the extra minute and mile to ask the impossible. Who knows. .. who knows...
 
Lost


I have not been at this site much in the past year or so. Seems like I've lost my way (literally and figuratively). Haven't spent much time meditating. It's about time I walked out of the darkness. - Jason
 
Hi Jason welcome back to the forum :thumbsup: I think that it can be easy to lose our way spiritually when everyday life becomes hectic. It is good to hear you are finding your way back.


Kind Regards
