SECOND, How Do Past Lives Effect Your Physical Body?
Your body is the sacred temple of your eternal spirit. Your body is constantly working to redirect your energies as needed through pain or joy to keep you on the path of love, growth, and awareness. There are four ways that your body can bring past life issues into your present life experience. These are: Soul Drive, PREDISPOSITIONS, Cellular Memory, and Transformation.
So What are PREDISPOSITIONS and How Do They Effect Your Physical Body?
PREDISPOSITIONS are how much your previous experience has disposed your body to act in pre-determined ways. Overwhelming past predispositions can severely limit today's available choices.
How PREDISPOSITIONS work... Whether you know it or not, your physical body functions like a prison without walls. Instead of confining your actions by physical barriers (like walls or bars), karma works to restrict your activities through past life resonances implanted in your body. This means that the full range of choices that seem to be available to everyone in this life are actually not available to you where they are blocked by such resonances. This manifests into your reality as delaying or forgetting about what you know you need to do or, conversely, doing and excusing what will sabotage your conscious goals. Your body is the means of expressing your inner desires to the outer world. To the extent that you cannot get it to "do your will as you wish" it is blocked by past life predispositions. Most often, this happens because your body is trying to avoid harm or reap benefits based on past life learnings.
Present Life EVIDENCE of Past Life PREDISPOSITIONS manifests in many ways... Among the most deeply seated predispositions are those related to the relationship with food. If you are overweight and have "tried" everything to take/keep it off but have failed, it is extremely likely that you have starved to death in one or more past lives. Your body "remembers" the death trauma from the past and so now layers you with extra fat to keep you from dying of starvation again. When you diet, you only reinforce the body's fears of starvation which just layers on more fat once you start eating again. Similarly, those whose bodies allow themselves to be starved (anorexics) do so because their bodies "remember" a strong overriding benefit from choosing starvation.
How Past Life PREDISPOSITIONS Cause Present Day PROBLEMS... Anorexia is one of the most lethal past life predispostions. This most often comes from past lives in monastic orders where part of the religious tradition involved "chastening" (starving the body) to "subdue it" to induce "spiritual" experiences. This does work by pushing the body so close to the point of death that the spirit starts to detach from it and move closer to the inner worlds. Unfortunately this always leads to shortening the lifespan and it does not allow the individual to connect as fully to the inner worlds as it would if they were doing so in full consciousness in a healthy body. Since anorexia is linked to a person's desire to "be perfect" and since we are here to perfect ourselves, it is a habit that proves particularly difficult to break because it becomes firmly embedded in the body as a "good" habit.
Real Life Examples of PREDISPOSITIONS... are all too frequent in the news. Take the case of the singer, Karen Carpenter, who was famous all over the world in the 1970s for her best selling records. That was not her first taste of fame. In a past life, she was a source of local pride, famous for her accurate predictions of the future. As her fame grew, her weight dropped because the only way she induce her visions was by starving her body. Her religious superiors encouraged her in this because the more visitors they got, the more money they could raise to build a better house for their order. She foresaw her own death and gloried in it's coming so that she could be reunited forever with her Lord and Savior. When she came back as Karen Carpenter, she repeated the pattern of dropping weight with each instance of rising fame. In the end, she broke the hold of her eating disorder but years of starvation had taken their toll and she died of heart failure in her early 30s.
