An Amish Lifetime

"I was an Amish farmer, looking over my farm. It has a cottage with yellow flowers in the fields. There were children playing around. I was 70+ years old. I was wearing farmer’s boots. I was tall. I was standing peacefully. I felt contented." - Mokkhesi

"I was a samurai warrior, walking emotionlessly but there was something in my heart like I have not completed my mission, which was related to my country, Japan. I had a son and wife at home. I recognised my wife as my current life former girlfriend. I seldom talked to my wife and son. My country was number one. My family came later. I wore straw footwear, which was brownish and yellowish in colour.  Something happened when I was riding a horse. While riding the horse and going towards someplace, I was ambushed and shot at the chest by an arrow. I fell to the ground. I felt hot and cold after being shot at. I collapsed but I was still conscious. I died without any regret. On my deathbed, I was still aware and conscious. I saw my wife and son standing near me. I felt pity for them because I had left them suddenly. Their eyes were glistening with tears. I felt compassionate towards them. I died without any attachment. My only regret was that I didn’t take care of them and left them suddenly instead." - Mokkhesi

A lifetime as a monk

"There was a nice stream with a shrine at the side of the stream. There were snow capped mountains in the background. I was in the bushes. I could see bullock carts. I was walking barefoot. I was an Indian man. I was wearing a monk’s robe, orange in colour. I  carried a wooden bowl, without a lid. I used a walking stick. I was fat, sluggish and dragged my feet as I walked. I

loitered around. I went to see my mother. She wore a saree. Some of her teeth had fallen off and some of it had blackened. My father came back home. He wore a white turban and a white shirt, with a sarong. He was a farmer. He was very skinny. He did not talk to me. I did not like my father. My father was complaining to my mother about my laziness.

"I died at 90 years old, with a stick and a bowl at my side. I was not fat anymore. I was very skinny instead. There was a robe covering my body.  After I left my body, I felt myself going upwards. I could see the straw roof of the house. At the place in between lifetimes, I spoke to the light beings, asking them to give me a chance to practice in my next life, because I felt regret that I had wasted that life by not practicing." - Mokkhesi

Lifetime in France

"I did a one-to-one past life regression around 8 years ago and saw myself as a French priest in love with a woman. I was in a cathedral. Up in the cathedral there’s a huge balcony, so that people can hang out in the open. It was night. The moon was full. There was a woman dressed in the clothes of that era, like in the Victorian era. She came from one side of the balcony. Behind her was a huge bell structure. I came from the bell door. I came to her from behind. I’m dressed in brown priest clothes. I was mostly bald and had very little hair. There was a thin hair circle around the top of my head. Both of us were medium size. We were French and fair skinned. We were in love, but this was forbidden love. I was forbidden from falling in love as I was a priest. All I could do was to declare my love in secret to her. We were both crying as the relationship could get us nowhere.”

"I didn’t think about it after that, but during your group workshop, it suddenly dawned on me that the difficulty in my current love life was related to this lifetime in France. “Now I understand why -- It's because I could not make myself to love anyone else. I had made a vow not to fall in love with anyone again."

Update (Aug 2008): "After understanding this, my love life has improved and I’ve allowed myself to fall in love again. I’ve also become a more loving person. I recognized her as my current life German friend, whom I’ve known for many years. He and I have a strong and sometimes intense friendship. Now I understand why I had a very strong emotional connection with this friend.” - Mr. A

On a Victorian train

“I was on a Victorian train. It had gold and maroon trimmings. I was a young English boy, with blue eyes and blond hair. I was very young. There was a woman beside me, a very strict English woman. She’s wearing a Victorian headgear. We were sitting in the train. We were in England. I could hear the sound of the train moving and also touch and feel the trimmings on the train. We were passing by the countryside.  A conductor came in. He was very strict. He was very tall. He had a thin curly moustache. He came to check the tickets. I turned to look at him. I recognized him as my current life father. I recognized the woman as my current life mother." - Mr. A

Affinity with best friend 

"During the group regression, I saw so vividly the images of two different past lives that I had with my best friend. She was my mother in one lifetime and my wife in another lifetime. I was a happy little girl, laughing and riding a bicycle in the misty morning surrounded by beautiful tulips. What I really learned from this regression was that we will meet our loved ones again and again to learn the full spectrum of lessons in life including lessons about love, compassion, charity, patience, detachment and others." - Ms. Phang.

Japanese sumo wrestler

"I saw my past life as a Japanese sumo wrestler in the ring. I could feel the weight of my body and it was difficult for me to move as my body was large and heavy. My ring manager was a demanding man, who kept asking asking me to get up and wrestle. I recognised the ring manager as my current life boss." - Ms. K
