Question
QUESTION: I was just wondering if I had a past life and if so what was I? Where was I? Was my mother and I always connected in other lives? (She's deceased 10 years now).

Thank you.

ANSWER: Hello, Anna!

As stated in my profile, I don't do psychic readings; I help people figure out how to put together the fragments of memory they may have. Do you feel pulled towards any particular place and time?

We do develop close bonds with others over lifetimes, relationships  that change from life to life. What has led you to feel you knew your mother before?

QUESTION: I've always feeled pulled toward the Civil War era. I've always loved the way the rich ladies dressed and how gentlemen treated ladies.

I was only wondering if I knew my mother before because her and I were so close. She was my best friend.

Answer
Anna, I am so sorry - I didn't see a flag for this message, and there was no warning that it had been missed! My apologies. My e-mail has increased to such a point I miss things...

Start keeping a journal of things that resonate with you - Civil war things, other times, types of clothing, music, etc. If something occurs to you about your mother or anyone else you know, even if it seems off the wall, write it down. I once looked at an acquaintance and thought she was my child who died at eleven. It later turned out, yes - she was my son four hundred years ago, and she did die at the age of eleven.

The more you keep the journal, the more you will be able to recall. Try to wait a long time before drawing any conclusions - just gather the bits that may be memory. One day something will occur that will act as a key, and the memories will start coming together...

Again, my apologies, and best wishes for you!
