Past Lives & Soul Ties

Aloha mai! Welcome back to my little mystical corner of the interwebs. This week, I want to dive into the topic of past lives and karmic ties, and how exploring them can deeply heal your present life.

Past life work is a powerful tool for understanding who we are today. First, it helps us identify the key players from past lives who are connected to important people in our current life—whether these connections are positive or challenging. These soul connections unlock parts of ourselves that we may not have realized existed, leading to profound healing. Often, these blockages can be hidden, making it all the more powerful when we uncover and address them. Second, past life work allows us to cut karmic or soul ties that may still be influencing our relationships today, helping us improve these connections and heal on a deeper level.

Have you ever met someone and instantly felt like you didn’t like them, even though they hadn’t done anything to warrant that feeling? There’s a good chance you had a past life with that person, which created a karmic tie to their soul. These ties often guide us to cross paths with certain people in this life, triggering old wounds or emotions that need to be cleared. Sometimes, these unresolved feelings hold us back from forming healthy relationships with others in our current life.

Interestingly, the strongest karmic ties and most influential past life connections often involve family members or people within our close circle. While not every relationship is rooted in karmic ties or past trauma, you can bet that there are strong emotions in some key relationships that need to be worked through and healed.

I’d love to share one of my most memorable past life sessions with you. In this session, I was guided to a past life where the emotions of not belonging were blocking me from stepping into my role as a lightworker and sharing my healing gifts in this life. As I entered this past life, I could sense right away that I wasn’t human—which, by the way, is totally normal, since not all of our incarnations are human. I felt myself floating and could see sunlight filtering through something that looked like stained glass. That’s when I realized I was underwater, and I was actually a shark swimming near the shore.

In my culture, my family guardian on my paternal side is the *manō* or shark, so I’ve always felt a spiritual connection to them. Growing up, my grandpa always told me I didn’t need to be afraid in the ocean because our *‘aumakua* would protect me.

As I explored more of this past life, I sensed an older shark swimming alongside me, warning me to fear humans because they were only out to kill us. But my shark self didn’t believe him—I had formed a relationship with a human, helping them by chasing fish into their nets, and in return, they shared their catch with me. Despite this friendship, I felt torn between staying true to my own kind and seeking acceptance from the human.

As we explored the key players in this past life, I realized the older shark represented my grandpa, who often emphasized tradition and staying within the familiar. The human symbolized my desire to be accepted for my unique gifts by the collective. This dynamic mirrored the internal conflict I’ve experienced in this life—the fear of being rejected for who I truly am and the pressure to conform.

Through this session, I was able to clear the energy of fear and self-doubt, replacing it with acceptance and support. By healing the emotions tied to that past life, I was able to release the fear of showing up as my authentic self. In the weeks that followed, I noticed a huge shift. The resistance I once felt about sharing my gifts was gone, and the shame I carried about being visible was replaced by confidence and acceptance. Pinpointing and healing that root emotion through the past life session helped me break through my fears of being seen.

This is why I’m such a big believer in past life work and clearing karmic ties. Many of the fears we hold onto have been with us for multiple lifetimes, which is why they can be so difficult to clear with traditional energy work alone. If you keep finding yourself stuck in the same emotional cycles or fears, no matter how much you meditate or journal, it may be time to dive deeper. Book a 1:1 session with me, and let’s explore your past lives to see what needs healing and clearing, so you can move forward with confidence and authenticity.

With love and light,

Alohilani
