Is there a place you’re drawn to? Somewhere you feel you belong? Have you been there or is its call to you a mystery?
New England is that place for me. I have no idea why I feel so connected to it. I mean, I assume I lived there in a past life or two, but, well, let me give you some examples of what I’m talking about.
I once went to Framingham, Massachusetts, for some training. I instantly knew my way around. This was astounding because I can get lost going around the block.
I visited a friend in New Haven, Connecticut, and felt my soul had been torn out of me when I left. I sobbed for days.
As a college freshman, I wrote a poem that ended:
Take me home
I’ve never been there
Boston.
Just as there are people we are immediately drawn to, individuals who we meet for the first time and instantly know, there are places we feel inordinately attached to.
In some of our lifetimes, we choose to reconnect with people in our soul group. In others, we have new lessons to learn. And so it is with places. For all the times I could have gone to Boston, none of them panned out. The closest I’ve gotten is the airport as I made my way to New Hampshire. Just landing I got teary. Maybe in my next life I’ll be ready to go back. We’ll see what my soul has to say about that.
If you’ve had a similar experience, I’d love to hear about it.
And you might want to try a past-life regression or a look into the Akashic records*. These can be illuminating experiences that help us to better see what we came here to do this time around.
*The Akashic records are the collection all universal events, thoughts, words, emotions, and intent to ever have occurred in the past, present, or future. Like past-life regression, they can be opened for viewing through meditation alone or with the help of an experienced guide.
