Birthmarks

Birthmarks 

A birthmark may indicate where a physical injury happened in a previous life. 

When I was born, I had an extensive black birthmark. It covered the entire back of my left hand from my knuckles to about two inches below my wrist. It was not a port wine stain. The doctor told my mom that it was “overgrown blood vessels.” The mark has faded with age and now looks like a burn scar. 

When I learned that birthmarks possibly originate in a previous life, I decided to do a self-regression to investigate. 

 NOTE: There are cautions about doing a regression on yourself at the bottom of this article. I am a trained regressionist and shaman, so I know how to keep myself safe. 

Investigating my birthmark, I closed my eyes and called on my guides. I asked them if there was a connection from a previous incarnation to the birthmark on my hand. 

The guides took me to a lifetime in rural Kansas. Throughout this regression experience, I was inside the body of a woman who lived on a farm with my younger sister and our children. As I explored this isolated life, I learned that our husbands had gone off to war, and both had died overseas. 

In the next scene, I hear my sister screaming. I look out the window and see her running up to the house. She continues to wail as she runs. I run outside to see what the matter is. 

Breathless, she pointed to the barn, which was quite a bit of a distance from the house. My sister was hysterical. She blurted out that she had gone to the barn to call the kids in for supper and saw that the lantern had fallen over and the hay burning. 

I knew her son and my daughter were playing in the barn. I run as fast as I can to the barn. I hear one of the kids yelling for help. I reach in and pull a child out of the flames. It’s her son. Pushing him away with my right hand, I reach in again with my left hand to try and grab my daughter. I burned my hand trying to reach her. I got her out, but she was severely burned and unconscious. She died in my arms. 

I couldn’t understand why she didn’t try to save the kids. Why, instead, did she run all that way to the house to get me? She wasted precious time. Because of her fear of taking action, I lost my daughter.

As my explorer self of this life, I stayed within my past life self in an associated way. Because my mom in this life was my sister in that farm life, I needed to know why I brought in the birthmark on my hand. 

By staying within her, I could feel the pain of her loss and her grief. I also felt her intense anger.    

It was too hard to stay within her. I’d had enough of feeling all those emotions. I dissociated. I left her body and became an observer.  

I fast-forwarded through the rest of my farm woman’s lifetime. I witnessed her continual angry, emotional abuse toward her younger sister. She never let up. She never let go of her anger. She never forgave her sister for the death of her little girl. There was never a resolution. They lived together in this same way for her entire life. She died angry. 

After I, as the explorer, reached the end of her life, I asked our mutual Higher Self for the lessons I had learned. 

Higher Self told me that the younger sister in that past life is my mother in this life. Higher Self said that I am an older soul and my mom is a younger soul. 

Higher Self reminded me that because Mom is a younger soul, she is vulnerable and not as strong as me. It is the way she is again in our present incarnation. (As a teen, I often thought of myself as having to be the adult when she remained child-like in many ways .) 

Higher Self told me that I brought in the birthmark burn scar always to remind me that I had a karmic debt to pay to mom. In this incarnation, I made a karmic agreement always to be kind to her no matter how disrespectfully she sometimes treated me. 

I owed her. And I stayed true to my pre-conception promise. In our present life together, I always treated her with respect, no matter what.
