Have you ever made a vow with yourself on how you wouldn’t do certain things? Most people don’t realize that these vows will go form one lifetime to another. Past life vows are things that can be very strong and powerful.

If you have had something happen in your life that causes you to be afraid or causes you pain, the experience might cause you to make a vow that you will never do that thing again. This could be a type of relationship that you were in, or it could be that you were killed for the beliefs that you had in your past life, or it could be that something happened with money, and you decided not to ever let it happen again.

When people experience something that causes them to have strong emotions, many will make vows that they won’t do that thing again and this can continue throughout their next lives.

Vows and Emotions

A past life vow can cause you to miss out on things that you have wanted to happen. If you said in your past life that you would never commit to someone in a relationship again, chances are that now you cannot get married.

Past life vows are often associated with strong emotions such as fear, anger, jealousy, hate, hurt, pain and more. You have to figure out if you have past life vows so that you can get rid of them and live your best life.

The best way to do this is to reach your Akashic Records and find out if you have created any of these vows. You can go into these records and get rid of any contracts that are holding you back from your present or future.

Do Past Life Vows Differ from Soul Agreements?

Past life vows are not the same as soul agreements. Soul agreements are happened when you need to learn a particular lesson in your life. A soul contract for example, might happen with your soulmate so that you can learn to be patient in the next life. You will experience these things over and over again until you get it right.

These contracts are for the good and they help you to change and to live a better life. A past life vow though is a negative reaction that you have when something is hurtful or scary.

Getting Rid of Past Life Contracts

If you have a past life contract and you want to know how to change it, you can do that. Akashic Records are there to help you get rid of these kinds of contracts. You can learn how to access these records on your own or you can see a psychic.

There are different things that you can do before you clear out your past life contracts. It is important to figure out first why you made these contracts and find out if you need to replace them with something new.

Final Thoughts

As you look at your Akashic Records, you can clear out past life vows, and you can change your past and future with these changes.

There are seven main chakras in the body and they go from the base of the spine to the top of the head. The first five chakras can bring balance to your life and as you look at the chakras you will see that they are each represented with a color. They flow in red, green, blue, orange, and yellow.

The third eye chakra can be indigo or purpose and if it is purple then chances are that your crown chakra will be white in color. The thing about the third eye is that it is found between your eyebrows and it means “to receive or perceive something.”

What is the Third Eye?

The third eye is part of the pineal gland, and it is found in the brain, behind the eyes. This is a small, almost pea like body part that is made of the same things that are found in the eyes. This gland has been seen as important in different religions, often being seen as a place where the soul sits.

The third eye is meant to bring wisdom and understanding of what you are doing in your life, allowing you to have inner visions. This is part of your psychic gifts and the place where things like astral dreaming takes place and your ESP.

With this chakra, you can dream and get information from the spiritual world. As your third eye is balanced, you will see that you might have visions or that you will have clear thinking. It is a place that you can use your telepathy and other psychic gifts.

But, when the third eye is imbalanced, this can cause you to have problems with your eyes, headaches, sleeping problems and anxiety. People that have a balanced third eye have a hard time being around violent or negative situations.

The Imbalanced Third Eye

If your third eye is imbalanced, you might experience:

• Being unable to concentrate.
• Feeling obsessive.
• Having bad dreams or nightmares.
• Self-evaluating yourself too much.
• Unable to focus.
• Overly religious.
• Overly analytical.
• Delusional.

If your third eye is lacking, you might experience:

• Having no visions.
• Not being able to use your imaginations.
• Bringing up repressed memories.
• Not able to see good outcomes.
• Unable to take responsibility.
• Choosing to not learn from your mistakes.
• Being afraid to succeed.
• Not able to set goals.

When you see that you are experiencing these things then chances are that you might need to balance your third eye.

Balancing the Third Eye

There are different ways that you can make your third eye chakra strong and balanced such as:

Meditating

Meditation is one of the best ways to get your third eye opened and balanced. Meditating can help you and you can do this in your room, outside in the sun or even in the moonlight.

Take time to concentrate on how you are breathing and keep your eyes closed. Think of the color purple surrounding you and try to concentrate on your third eye chakra. Be patient.

Sleeping

It is important to get good sleep and rest when you want your chakras to be balanced. You should get around eight hours of sleep. Put your electronics away at least an hour before you go to bed so that you can get ready for good sleep.

Aromatherapy

You can use essential oils or other aromatherapy to help open up your third eye. Here are some of the best ones to use:

Eating Healthy

Try to find foods that can open up your third eye chakra. Use foods that are purples like grapes, raisins, and eggplant.

Being an empath means that you are likely a highly sensitive person. As an empath, you need to make sure that you are grounded and balanced. If you want to keep growing, you have to make sure that you are strong in who you are.

Many empaths feel that they are restless and often will feel overwhelmed. They will feel like they have no one that they can count on and they depend a lot on themselves. There are different things that you can do to get yourself grounded so that you can live your best life.

Even though many grounding techniques take a lot of effort, these are techniques that aren’t that hard. These are things that you can do everyday and you will see that even if you are busy, you can stay strong.

Garden

If you have a garden, going out and working in your garden can keep you grounded. This can help you to feel better and help you to pull the energies around you to yourself. Your garden will look great, and you will feel better.

Hug a Tree

You can even go out and hug a tree. Touch it with your hands and sit by it. Hug it and show it that you have love for it. Just allow your bare hands to touch the tree.

Grounding with Water

Water is a great way to be grounded. You can use water for earthing. Here are some things you can do to ground with water:

Go in the Rain

The rain is one of the purest kinds of water. It is filtered by nature and it is very grounding. It doesn’t have toxins and all that in it. You can collect this water and use it to wash your body or you can just stay out in the rain.

Washing Hands

Washing your hands can be very cleansing. It can wash away any negative energies that you have. If you want to get rid of unwanted or negative energy, wash your hands. Even simply doing this can get rid of negativity and you can imagine them going down the drain.

Showing

Just like washing your hands, washing your body can ground you. The shower will get rid of negative energy. No matter what kind of dirt you have on your body or in your emotions, let the shower fix that.

Swimming

• What energies do I need to let go of?
• What energies do I have around me that are someone else’s?

Meditation
