A Past Life As A... Hippie?
Have you felt you were “born in the wrong time period?”
Have you ever wondered about your past lives - who you were, what you did, when you lived, and why your soul experienced that time?
Have you felt curious about certain themes, situations, relationships or other things in this lifetime?
Have you wanted deeper insight into a past life that may have impact this one?
Maybe you have a special “connection” to a certain place or time period and wonder where it came from?
I totally get it! For most of my childhood and into my 20s, I felt like I was born in the wrong time period.
I had constant flashbacks to life as a teen and young woman in the 60s & 70s. I’d look at myself in the mirror and think, “That’s not my hair…” or “What are these clothes I’m wearing? Where are my cute bellbottoms? Where are my heels?” For years I’d break down in tears any time I heard music from that time like CCR, Cat Stevens, Simon and Garfunkel, or Led Zeppelin! I constantly felt like I was born in the wrong time period, that life as a kid growing up in the 80s and 90s felt boring and flat. I loved looking at magazines or watching movies set in the 70s because it felt like “home” to me.
It became quite an obsession and for a while, I only wanted to wear clothes from that time period, which, coincidentally - were hard to find as they weren’t in fashion in the 90s and early 2000s.
After I went through my re-awakening a while back, I got a reading with a woman to look into my past lives. A voice inside of me knew it would help to finally hear it all from someone else’s mouth.
As I walked into the room, the gal who was going to read for me said, “Oh my god! Welcome back, my flower child friend!”
As I came through the door, she’d seen a flash of my past life self dressed in denim bells, a long white flowy caftan, and lovely earrings. I hadn’t even sat down yet to start the reading!
“You were alive in the 60s and went to Woodstock! You were part of ‘the scene’ for a while, too,” she said with a smirk. My god, you loved rock and roll! You went to tons of concerts, and you even played guitar, sang, and had your own little band - though, it wasn’t anything big. Have you ever felt drawn to Michigan, or called to travel - like you’re unsettled trying to stay in one place?”
“YES! I’ve never felt quite right anywhere!” I confirmed with excitement. Already, this was filling in SO many of the blanks in my life!
“Well, that’s because you were born in Michigan and traveled across the country - to California, New York, and San Fransisco at least. You left what was a life of less freedom for something more open, leaving behind what would have been a very sheltered and controlling upbringing. Your parents in that lifetime were very strict and left you feeling like you didn’t have a choice.”
As we talked, the reader described what I had worn in great detail down to the leather belts, shoes, and flowing hair style that was SO familiar to me, yet didn’t seem to fit in this lifetime. This lifetime was where my deep love of CCR, The Beatles and other music had originated. I told her that I’d cried while watching Almost Famous because I knew - just KNEW - in my bones that that was where I “belonged”. It reminded me of that time so much and overwhelmed me to watch it.
“Unfortunately, you passed away rather young from an overdose. I don’t even think you made it to 25.” she said. “Have you had any strong aversions to drugs in this lifetime?”
In fact, I had! For as long as I could remember, I’d had a strong knowing that if I ever touched certain drugs, I wouldn’t survive it. “No wonder I’ve always had that feeling! That makes total sense” I said.
The reading told me what I had already suspected: it had been important to integrate my past life’s lessons in this life, so that I would live longer than I had before. This life is supposed to be full of love and freedom, but from a more grounded and centered state of mind… However, I also needed to let myself be more spontaneous, free, and open to flowing with things more. I needed to be more in touch with my intuition in this life. In fact, that was an important part of my personality that I hadn’t had the chance to allow in until my 30s - almost as if life had protected me from going toooo far due to my short past life!
“Get the clothes you want to get!” the reader said. “Get some bellbottoms, dress in flowy clothing, buy a record player and play CCR! Burn incense or find vintage magazines to collect. Your current lifetime is about being here, but embodying this style or persona from the past may help you sort of integrate it and get it out of your system. Then, you’ll feel more present here.”
So I did just that, and it worked! I had my phase of dressing more 60s and 70s ish, listened to music, laid down and saw myself at the concerts, hanging with my old friends from that time. I was even shown which friends from that life were in my current life, and what role they would play now! Then, I saw the memory of the day I overdosed, what happened to me, and how my soul felt leaving - how she knew she wasn’t meant to stay long and appreciated that life, but also left behind some wonderful members of her family and friends who would mourn her for a while.
After a little while, I began to feel comfortable in my own skin and began to appreciate more about my current life. The little things still remain - I obviously believe in freedom, great music, love a good pair of flares, and believe in life’s flow. I know we need to listen to our intuition, but I also know we must be grounded and centered when tuning in, or we’ll make impulsive decisions that could lead us to take a wrong turn.
While my life now is full of wonderful things, I knew that I wouldn’t have appreciated them as much, if I hadn’t had that reading revealing my early passing and connection to that time period.
