QUESTION: Masters lately I have been exploring meditation. Recently I did a past life meditation and went into a life as a priestess and herbalist at the temple of Delphi, living and working alongside Plutarch. Was this real? If so, what if any is the significance of discovering this now? ~J., UK
ANSWER: Older souls have experienced hundreds of lives. Not all of your past lives would have an impact on the subsequent existences. The reason this life replayed for you now is that you grossly underestimate your abilities. Taking the spiritual expertise for helping others with nonphysical matters, and the medicinal healings accomplished by you while working with herbs in the physical world, you can get a sense of the power you possessed – and it is still part of your essence.
An awareness of your potential was brought forward for you to see that you should always trust you can learn anything and do anything if you put your mind into the action. You are your own worst critic and detractor. Become your cheering section, encouraging success in previously avoided areas.
The priestess you were had stepped completely away from negativity and ego and projected love and understanding. Your connection with the Earth, through your knowledge of herbs, allowed you to find the balancing elements for those having difficulties with physical ailments. You were able to align your energies with the frequency of your clients to reach equilibrium.
What you do with this information is up to you. The minimum we recommend is “feeling” the energy and seeing what resonates with your current body. If you sense you would be of benefit to others as a spiritual adviser, herbalist, or nature healer, and that interests you, then research, explore, apprentice, or watch others in those endeavors – or not. You are in the driver’s seat of your life, no one else.
