Past Lives, Present Miracles

by Denise Linn

*Originally published in 1997 under the title Past Lives, Present Dreams Miracles can occur in your life, easily and effortlessly. It's simply a matter of remembering who you are--and to do this it's necessary to clear the blockages that stand between you and your soul. Almost all of these obstacles have their roots in your distant past, so it's valuable to travel back in time to release them. However, most of us are so caught up in limiting beliefs about who we are that it's almost impossible to take that journey. In this book, you'll learn how to travel back to your previous incarnations to release buried obstructions so you can create the miracles in your life that you deserve! It's safe, easy, and fun . . . and anyone can do it! You'll learn how to discover your past lives without ever doing a regression, remove limitations regarding your relationships, abundance, and health that came from your past lives, uncover the symptoms of past-life traumas and how to clear them, even if you don't believe in reincarnation, understand the roles that loved ones played in your previous incarnations, find your personal guides, spirit guardians, and angels and receive their help . . .and much, much more!

This book started out believable and interesting, but the further I got into it, the stranger it got. When the author suggested that past lives can be altered in the present by thinking them different, she lost me - totally. I can understand that time isn't necessarily linear as we experience it in this life, but to change what happens in a previous life - whether good or bad - by imagining it another way went too far for me. I also have trouble understanding how that change can happen when other people are involved; if you consider that they, too, might be imagining a new ending of their own, it makes the whole idea difficult to comprehend. It lost me, and I was honestly not too interested after that in catching on again....

it sounds crazy that you can return to previous lives and thereby completely resolve problems of today, for example in health, behaviour or relationships!!

I returned myself using the instructions in the book and recognize various behavior patterns that had their origin in one of my previous lives, now i try to heal them🎀

everyone should read it and trust the light within themselves 🫂🫶🏻

I love Denise Linn with all of my heart. Great meditations in this book!!

[Theodora Zourkas · Rating 2 out of 5]

Comprehensive book about the concept of past lives. Easy to read and Linn provides lots of examples which keep the book moving.
It's a good book to read if you are new to this topic and need an introduction. It could be just me, and maybe because it was simplified, I thought some parts were a bit stereotypical such as, if you like cats, you may have had a previous life as an Egyptian. But apart from this, its an interesting introduction book.

loved this book
if you are interested in reincarnation, past life regression, understanding your fears/phobias, cell memory.. this is a book you'd love.. what i like about this book in the guidance and workshop ways it not only teaches us, but walks us through how to journey back and delve into your own past.. i've highlighted many passages to revisit and work more thoroughly on the practices suggested..

[Rosalinda Sepeda · Rating 5 out of 5]

The books' exercises are very empowering not to mention interesting. The book goes into reincarnation, past life regression, understanding your fears/phobias, and teaches us, walks us through how to journey back and delve into your own past. It is simplified, giving us a comprehensive look, an idea of reincarnation and karma being within your power to make choices rather than what comes around goes around and you are powerless to do anything instead of believing like a punishment kind of karma.

Refreshing many of the things I have read and know. However, this is a good book for someone starting out on past lives. Depends on what you believe but I found the concepts within the book to be intriguing. It amazes me that such theories on past lives could be true. And has very interesting stories to back up her explanation of past life, reincarnation as well of many issues were address.

[Kathy Pickett · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was fascinating as I have never explored past lives before and I did write down all the questions with my answers. Very fascinating as I tried to figure out how my past influences my life today. Whether or not you believe in reincarnation, it is still wonderful to be educated and Denise is a beautiful person! Loved listening to her thru the Hay House World Summit this year!

[Linda Amos · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very interesting read. Much of Denise's Native American heritage comes through. Lots of stories to illustrate points and confirmation. Meditation practices and plenty of practical advise. A lovely book if you are interested in working alone on your journey.

„Fii conștient înainte de a judeca, pentru că de foarte multe ori lucrul pe care-l critici va deveni o parte din viața ta, până când vei accepta și vei ierta cusururile altora.“

„Nu trauma din viața precedentă este cea care cauzează blocajele din prezent; sensul pe care îl dai acelor evenimente este cel care te bântuie prin timp. Și este posibil să călătorești înapoi și să schimbi semnificația oricărui eveniment și, astfel, să creezi un efect de domino în timp/spațiu, care să-ți transforme viața din prezent.“

„Cei care nu își pot aminti trecutul sunt condamnați sa-l repete. Cu alte cuvinte, când te eliberezi de limitările din trecut, poți fi liber. Fie că îi spunem codificare genetică, memoria celulară sau chiar inconștient colectiv, toți suntem guvernați de vastă acumularea de experiențe din trecutul nostru și el dictează în multe feluri situațiile pe care le întâlnim în prezent.“

„Lucrul căruia i te împotrivești persistă. Când te opui unei emoții, îți va fi, de fapt, mai greu să te eliberezi de ea. Ceea ce reprimi rămâne cu tine viață dupa viață și crează blocaje, de aceea este vital să te confrunți cu sentimentele tale. Cu toate acestea, există o diferență între a dramatiza și a te confrunta cu ele.“

I will be rereading this one, for sure. I've always wondered about past lives and finding out more about myself. This is a very well laid out book, and it's easy to understand. As I said, I will be reading this again.

Excellent book! Amusing and interesting.

This book is incredible. There is nothing else I can really add but only that I'd like to read more books of this author.

Good

[Renata · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very helpful

I love all the meditations that you can try, and all the stories.
I will be referring to the book well into the future.

[Maureen · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you are at all interested in the subject, read this book. What was so cool for me was that I had just finished The Yoga of Time Travel before I switched over to read this one. When Denise began to push the envelope on what she shares about how this whole experience works, can work, can be worked with, I was totally with her for it was what the physicist had been describing. Following him was painful, as much as I wanted to understand it. Following Denise was a joy. She just makes it the most natural thing in the world because, of course, it is. I am so grateful we have teachers like her unafraid to share this deep knowledge and not making it all 'woo woo' and only for the elite or the initiated. If you enjoy it, be sure to look into the radio show she does on Tuesdays on Hay House Radio. You can follow the theme to pick days when she does shows on this topic. Getting to experience one of her meditations will be awesome!

[Jilly · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is easily the best and most complete book I have ever read on the subject of past lives. Though I have studied this topic quite a bit and formulated my own theories, I found Denise's perspectives to be unique, refreshing, and frankly, mind-blowing at times. In addition to the excellent information, Denise has such a great writing style. She writes with such love and grace, clearly embracing the reader where they are at on their own spiritual journey, but challenging them to expand to new heights as well. This is not a book you read once and then pass it on to someone else; it is a book that will be referenced again and again. Denise Linn, you rock!

[Maggie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Okay, I've been sort of on the fence about the past life thing. It conflicts with my long held notions of what actually happens after we die. Denise Linn makes an interesting case for how our present life struggles might be traced to past life hurts. I like it when unexplainable things are given innovative, untraditional interpretations. Thinking about problems in new ways sometimes leads to answers. Plus, I'd like to believe that I'm not this freaky just because.

[Kemila Zsange · Rating 3 out of 5]

I gave three stars to this book, because this book is not what it claims to be, on its cover, "The most empowering book on reincarnation you'll ever read... in this lifetime!" Very far from it.

It's a fair book which lacks depth. But if you are a complete beginner on past life or reincarnation, this book will help you understand more. There are also some guided meditation scripts, which again are not bad if you are a beginner.

[Jules · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you don't get anything else out of this book, you'll find out that Denise Linn lives an amazing and courageous life. I've always been in a fight with our concept of time and the most powerful part of the book for me was a new way to look at time. Linn's visualization conceptual time is eye-opening. If you don't know anything about reincarnation and your are curious, read this book. Linn's process and meditations are helpful, even if you aren't looking into your past lives.

Very interesting point of view.

I loved this book but being a huge fan of Denise linn can feel her energy, knowledge & her tale of surviving a Horus accident shows her respect for life& what can be taken away & learnt

[Vicky · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Sharda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice book. the exercises are challanging. I hope to try one of them. It feels a bit scary ... what if I don't want to return from a previous life?
