New England in the 1700s?

Hello, I'm new here and I've really enjoyed reading your posts. It's amazing, not only what people have remembered but the research you've done to discover historical information about past lives.

I have recently been listening to some audiobooks by Denise Linn and I did a few of the past life regression meditations, just for grins. I didn't really believe. But I think I do now!

I've always had this feeling or dream or memory about a woman in New England. I always thought this came from all the historical novels I read and maybe it did. But, it seems so real. I'm in a small, very neat house with a dirt floor. I'm looking out of a window towards a little town or village. Not a glass window, but a window with a wooden shutter. Sometimes I am cooking in a kettle over an open fire. I can feel my heavy black skirts. The bottom of the skirt is dirty. My back hurts, and I'm hot.

In the recent regression, Denise asked us to start by looking down at our shoes. Wow, I can see them so clearly. They have big gold buckles. I looked at some of the reference material on this site and found similar shoes from the 1730's. That's awesome.

Anyway, I'm wearing a skirt and blouse or shirtwaist type dress, my hair is up, and I'm wearing a hat or bonnet. I think I'm walking home from church. And here's the part that affected me so deeply that I went running to the internet to find out if anyone else had a similar experience: I'm just heartbroken with grief over the death of my little boy. He was five years old and had light brown curly hair. I'm very aware that the people of the town think I should have gotten over it by now, but I can't. I'm angry and I want to cry but I won't. I'm thinking how my boy was worth 10 of them, no a HUNDRED of them, and how can they think I will ever get over losing him. It's so sad I'm almost crying just thinking about it again.

Over the past few days, I think I have remember a little more about this life, it seems that she mellowed out a little after saving a little orphaned rabbit that she kept as a pet. She fed it cow's milk and raw eggs from an eye dropper. That seems like a strange thing to feed an animal but there you go. Later in life she founded a school or a library or something like that and was always considered cold and eccentric . . .

Maybe I'm making all this up but it just seems so real.

Thanks for listening!

HI Journey,


Welcome to the forum. The emotional reactions - the deeply held feelings - are very telling. Memories come when you least expect them and it could very well be - that because you did the meditation/regression just for "grins" - with no expectations that your experiences came through so clearly.


The little things like what you fed the rabbit - are also ringing very true. Perhaps someone here has raised orphaned baby rabbits and may have input for you regarding the plausibility of what you remember doing.


Keep us posted if you remember more or do another meditation. Thank you for sharing.
 
Hey Journey and welcome to the forum.


I'm glad you like it here and I look forward to seeing you around the boards :thumbsup:


I very much enjoyed your thread and I do believe that these visions are past life related. How you describe your clothes, your home and how the emotions are so strong that you are affected just writing it down - it all sounds sincere to me.


I smiled when I read the part about reading too many historical novels - when I was a kid I didn't read anything, but historical novels and my greatest passion was books about medieval times. It turns out now (of course) that I seem to have lived a life, well several lives, during those centuries and I believe that subconsciously that was why I picked out these books when I was a child.


Do you remember any childhood passions or games that could relate to your memories? Have you had other memories of other lifetimes?

Hi Journey,


Thanks for sharing your experience. The way you describe the emotion that accompanied your memories certainly make it sound as though it could be past life related.


I don't think your mind is making it up, maybe it's your past life memories that subconsciously draw you to those historical novels that you have read, do you feel particularly drawn to that time period?


You may find this thread useful: How do you know you're actually having a pl memory?


I would suggest that you persevere with the meditating and audiobooks, and write down everything that you experience in a journal, which will become invaluable to you if you should find yourself trying to piece everything together.


Good luck


Chris... :)
 
Hi Journey,


One of my students is an older woman who has show rabbits and has raised them for over 25 years. She talks about them often in my class so I asked her if feeding an orphaned baby rabbit would include a mixture of milk and egg yoke. She smiled and said - "Oh yes - absolutely." Rabbit milk is very different than any other milk. Usually the mixture is goats milk and egg yoke. But I imagine in the 1700's they used what was available and were unaware of the differences between cow's milk and goats milk.


She is sending me a link to information (I hope) so that you can get it first hand. Congratulations - quite a validation!
 
Wow. Thanks a lot, Deborah.


That piece of information is just astonishing. I'm a little overwhelmed. Some of the other stuff I could have imagined or read in a book somewhere, but that little tidbit is something I could never have known or imagined. Gee whiz.


I think I'll go get a cup of coffee and think about that for a little while. If it wasn't 9:00 in the morning I'd drink something stronger than coffee.

HI Journey,


My student told me that she could not find the website she was referring too. Perhaps it was long gone or her cyberspace abilities are limited. I suggest that you do a search yourself or even perhaps contact a breeder or someone who is in the business of raising rabbits and inquire with them.


Wishing you good luck in your ventures. Please keep us posted!
 
Deborah,


thanks! I did some searches and raw egg yolk and goat's milk is indeed recommended for baby rabbits. The sites I visited cautioned against using puppy or kitten formula for rabbits. Verrryyy interesting . . .


This validation was a real turning point for me, in accepting these thoughts as real memories.

You're welcome. Please keep us posted should anything else surface or more research bring you another validation. :D
