In the middle of 2012, I ended up having a reading, and this took place at a shop that was about 9 miles away from where I lived. This was a time when I was looking for guidance, and this was partly because I had just left where I worked.

I ended up speaking to the owner of the shop before I had the reading and I we spoke afterwards, too. It then didn’t take long until I went in there again to speak to her, and I ended up going in there about once a week.

One Moment

A few years after I first went in there, in December 2014, there was a time when I helped to move the furniture that was outside. I had done this on numerous occasions, but what stands out about this moment was that someone, who I hadn’t met before, came into the shop and spoke to me.

I found out that his name was Ian Baillie, and he commented on the trench coat that I was wearing. It soon became clear that this was someone who was into past lives.

I Wanted To Know More

After we spoke, we arranged to get together for a coffee, and this was a time when we both found out more about each other. Until this point, it wasn’t as if I someone who was really into past lives or anything.

However, I was open-minded and happy to hear more about what he had to say. One of the things he said was that I was a confederate general in a past life and he soon came up with other lives that I had had.

It Matched Up

Yet, while I wasn’t particularly into past lives, I had healed past life trauma many, many years ago. So, it wasn’t as though I being exposed to something I had never even heard of before.

What was different was that I hadn’t ever met anyone who had gone into the kind of lives that I had had before. But with this aside, he was someone who recognised my fiery and passionate nature.

Another Side

Interestingly enough, this was a time in my life when I was just beginning to embrace my aggression. For most of my life I had been out of touch with this part of my nature, which was largely due to the fact that it wasn’t safe for me to get angry when I was younger.

I was starting to feel more comfortable with side of me, and here was someone who didn’t try to stop me from showing this side of my nature. As a result of this, I felt as though I could be myself.

More Than One Side

And as I got to know him, I came to see that this wasn’t someone who hair their head in the clouds. If someone had told me about someone who was into past lives, I would have probably wondered if they were out of touch with reality; yet, here was someone who had their feet firmly on the ground.

Along with his critical mind, he had a degree, and an incredible understanding of history. I felt incredibly grateful had I had come into contact with someone who I could be myself around and have deep conversation with about every area of life.

While I was waiting for my dance class to start, I watched an instructor patiently coach a couple through what was obviously one of their first lessons. The instructor was having them do a “box step,” which is what it sounds like. A “box” made with your feet. It consists of two parts, a forward half box and a backward half box. Each half box has three steps: a step forward or backward, a step to the side, and a step to close the feet together. The instructor was counting out
