Have you ever experienced a relationship where the attraction was intense, the coincidences were mysterious, and the bond felt so profound that you thought—could we be soulmates from past lives?
Even if you didn’t consider or believe in past lives, encountering this particular person felt like it stirred your deepest memories of love and fulfillment.
The warm, gentle, loving places in your heart that you didn’t know existed, came to life.
Is it possible to meet soulmates from past lives? And what does it mean for this lifetime?
A teacher once told me that not only is it possible, but it’s also nearly certain that we have a soul-level, or past life, connection with everyone we meet in this life. We have likely shared at least one past life with the significant people we meet today.
We have likely shared at least one past life with the significant people we meet today.
Why? Because at this stage of Earth evolution an unprecedented number of souls have incarnated on our planet. We are a cumulative number of most of the souls that had lived here (and in other locations) before.
There are currently about 8 billion people living on Earth.
Back in 1978, the year I was born, the global population was about 4.3 billion. I recall my grandmother being amazed when we hit 5 billion in 1986. It’s understandable, considering that when she was a child in the 1920s, there were just about 2 billion people worldwide. In the time of Jesus, the entire population was likely around 190 million.
Exploring Past Incarnations
When I first linked up with a few of my previous incarnations, I was surprised by how distinct each personality was.
Each one of them was a distinct person, with their own lives — and deaths. And yet, they looked onto the world with the eyes of a soul that I recognized. A soul that is now me.
I might see myself in a different way, with a physical body—a version of me that’s emotional, experiences happiness and sadness, and has plans, ideas, and feelings. But the eyes of a soul are timeless, dispassionate and yet ever-curious. The soul wants to learn and experience everything before it returns to the Divine ocean.
We can look at our past incarnations as dormant seeds of experience and lessons, which are still planted in our subconscious. The more evolved we become as a soul, the more such seeds we carry.
Reaching a Certain Level of Spiritual Growth
When we achieve a particular stage in our spiritual journey, something intriguing occurs: these cocoons start to open and become activated, integrating into our own inner voice.
This usually occurs when the paths of our current and past selves meet in a specific place, especially if it is a power place. Power places are spots where it is easier to reach higher levels of awareness. Just by being in these locations, one might experience spiritual insights and awakenings more effortlessly.
Examples of such places are Sedona in the US, Glastonbury and Stonehenge in the UK, Varanasi (also known as Kashi) in India, Jerusalem in Israel/Palestine, the Great Pyramid in Giza, Mecca in Saudi Arabia, and countless more, some world-famous, some known only to locals.

Soulmates from Past Lives: The Good, the Bad, and the Controversial
Meeting an important soul connection awakens subconscious memories of our past incarnations together. This awakening can be quite rough if there were unresolved issues (karma) between us in a past life. We will get flooded with feelings and emotions that belonged to our past selves.
Guilt, betrayal, longing, passion, joy — whatever tone your relationship had, whatever you chose to carry over through lifetimes — will all come into the light.
But past life memories of romantic feelings often harm us more than memories of discord and anger. What may have been a great love story in a past life, does not necessarily serve us in this lifetime.
Our past incarnations were completely different persons. They had their own set of life lessons and karma to work through. They were connected to specific ancestral lines to work with, and born into a particular culture. They spoke another language, had a different genetic makeup, which may have been an important factor determining choice of a life partner, and their beliefs and emotions were very different from ours.
It may be that in this lifetime we met someone who was once very special to our soul. Our past self awakens. Its memories fill us with passion and excitement. This past life self is longing to repeat and re-live a lost love. A love that may have been truly divine — back then.
The problem is that all the emotions, hopes and desires we are now feeling belong to a different person.
That person is not our enemy, and can even be our magical ally — but typically we don’t have a slightest idea this past life influence is even possible! Our past life self does not realize that in this lifetime their soulmate may have a completely different path. And we interpret its voice in our subconscious as our own.
When something like this happens, and people start looking for answers, they often find internet articles on twin flames and soulmates. These articles speak of eternal love, divine connection, and twin flames destined to be together forever.
Of course, this resonates immensely given all the past life memories. But the personalities are different now.
Many difficult and complicated “twin flame” situations arise from the mismatch between one’s current path and soul-level memories.
Past Incarnations as Our Magical Allies
I’m not saying that every challenge in a relationship means it is “unworkable”. On the contrary, I believe having a relationship of any kind with a person who is the exact opposite of us is the greatest gift from the Universe.
Having someone in our lives who questions our daily habits, beliefs, and ideas, our understanding of love and communication, and every perception we’ve built of ourselves and the world, is a wonderful gift. Being with such a person is a unique opportunity to discard our self-created images and evolve spiritually.
But being in such a relationship is not easy. It requires a high level of spiritual maturity and relentless dedication to do the necessary work on ourselves. As soon as we slip back into our ego self, pain, arguments and breakups ensue.
But we need to be able to learn to control the voices of our subconscious, and control our past selves, rather than letting them control us. We can learn to get to know our past incarnations, to integrate their strengths, and to reduce their influence if it does not serve us.
Healing Sessions
In my healing sessions, I have developed my own method of working with past life allies. I can best describe it as a crossover between past life regression and sophrology guided journey. We don’t have to travel far , or do a lot of complicated past life regressions to expand our consciousness! We just bring all our sub-personalities on board and embody them.
Our past incarnations are parts of us who can teach us valuable knowledge and experience. But they are also very human and imperfect parts of us. Our aim is to understand all these voices, connect with them, and transcend their noise, aligning with our Higher Self.
Sometimes, this also means facing the truth about our romantic ideals and letting go of our soulmates from past lives. Sometimes, it means fighting for them.
Interesting take. It occured to me that I might very well experience a “soul reunification” although the circumstances are terrible the result was needed, and it is not like most people would understand. I my case I had a dragon like creatures face appear before me in astral light. Which I said something like “come at me” and then I soon had the experience that for a space of three minutes I was being g inhabited. I spoke, “allister is a punk.” Spit out nicotine that was in my mouth and said “disgusting” drank a bunch of milk and then had an olfactory hallucination that the room was filled with incense and I was in a temple. Everything went back to normal and I was freaking out that I let something into my body by course of my loose words. The next day began a whole daytime hallucination of a pastlife the circumstances of seem to be have divinely set up for me. I had an old garden statue in the likeness of Mithra in my back yard to which my daughter would often touch the face of. My daughter is adopted and not even from the same continent. But, I got the surest sense that the idol had been used to sacrifice her to countless ages ago. The thought sickened me beyond belief. I spent the next night resolved to rid myself of the entity who I assumed was purely tricking me. I did what can only be described as a self exorcism In which I could see sigils leaving me in the astral light. The first few without much effort but that last one broke my me into two personalities, Alister and Adam and me. In the beginning stages I would feel a sensation moving up my arms when I started to speak the words (I spoke these words “leave me you have no legal claim I am purchased with the blood of Christ”). I was before this agnostic… At a certain point I started saying them in a recess of my mind I haven’t accessed since. I could think other thoughts and yet I was saying the words as if with my soul. When It was over and I got up my only test that it worked was the fact I was still saying the words, as prior I would lose track and have changed Jesus into John as if I was being hoodwinked. Anyhow, when I got up I realized that I had two personalities and Alister had infact come out of hiding and helped me. Oddly the dragon type face appeared again at a distance but this time with a cartoon face as if letting me know I won. I had a conversation with Allister about him hiding beforehand. I wasnt completely sure it was gone, but I and Alister spoke the words freely with our forgetting or change. This is the truncated version, too. I have the feeling that I did reunifiy fractured parts of my soul and some of them with less than exemplary history. I brought them to repentance so to speak. Or, maybe gave them the opportunity. I have conceived that the dragon was infact my egoic counterpart whom was running rampage in my life. I also have the feeling it did not like the nicotine and like sages often use it too heal it might have played a role in potentiating these events. Well hope this story wasn’t too out there.
