The Past Leaves Clues
Finding a Clue On Location in Prague
I had an AHA moment, last week. One I didn’t expect but had subconsciously been seeking.
The reason I chose to visit Prague became clear.
Let me share a little bit of back story. I am nomadic. My husband (David) and I sold our home of nearly 30 years, 3 years ago, and now we explore all the places around the world that we’ve always wanted to visit. Correction: we are visiting the places that I have wanted to visit … because I am on a Quest to Explore My Past Lifetimes.
2024 has been the year of Creation and Commitment. I have created an online Membership Community Which I Adore. I have co-created a new Website and journeyed through the process of Branding and getting clear about what my focus is for my forward journey. The Community has just reached its 6 month anniversary ~ YAY! ~ and I am deeply grateful for what I have learned and discovered in the process. 2025 is looking Amazing! My website is just about finished, with one (very important) page to go. It is Beautiful!
The third project I want to create and committed to, almost 12 months ago with my designer, is an Oracle Card Deck. It’s like the legacy project I want to create as a way of both acknowledging all that I have learned over the 40+ years that I have been exploring Past Lives while also giving me a tool or resource for the forward journey.
I thought it was going to be exclusively about Past Lives.
I’ve discovered that it’s actually about getting to know and understand Who I Am through the lens of Past Lives ~ a subtle, but significant difference.
Travel is something I have wanted to do for a really long time. Now that we are able to live this lifestyle, I am learning about how to explore my Past Lifetimes, and history in general. When I choose somewhere to visit, it is usually due to either an Intuitive ‘hit’ or because I know of a specific lifetime/period of history that I want to explore.
Except for Prague.
Prague was chosen because we had a couple of weeks to ‘fill in’ on our itinerary. Our 90 days in Europe coincides with both Christmas Markets and the America’s Cup Sailing (one of David’s bucket list items). We like to travel fairly slowly which means we usually book 4 week stays at a time. I confess to choosing our current itinerary based on ease of transportation: we knew we were going to be in Barcelona for the sailing, for 2 weeks, and it was a simple matter of choosing where to go from there (actually, not so simple because there are just So Many places I want to visit!). That’s when we decided on Christmas Market locations ~ Vienna, Austria, and Budapest, Hungary ~ first and ‘threw in’ a couple of weeks in Prague to round things out. A short flight from Barcelona to Prague, a short train trip for the next 2 destinations.
But, I didn’t know why we ~ I ~ needed to visit Prague.
Even after spending nearly 2 weeks here, I still didn’t really get it.
I have loved everything about this gorgeous city! It’s inspiring and interesting and full of amazing architecture. We’ve had fun navigating the currency conversion and attempting to translate the language. People have been so friendly and accommodating ~ nothing has been too much trouble. In essence, there has been a lot of ‘history’ and culture to learn about simply from wandering through Old Town.
I still didn’t really get why I felt that this was the place we had to visit.
Until we went into St Vitus Cathedral.
A distant memory drifted to the surface of my thoughts as we wandered slowly through the ornate decoration in the church. It was something from my teen years, and a word which had been thrown around a lot in the 1970’s when I was growing up: Bohemian.
As I stood gazing up at the ceiling of one of the chapels in the oldest part of the cathedral, I realised that there was a link to a past lifetime, right in front of me.
That link or connection won’t mean much to anyone else. For me, though, it was a moment of clarity made something from my youth make sense to me now.
This wasn’t the first time of having the AHA clarity. On our first day in Edinburgh, so many things from my childhood suddenly made sense. In our time in country England, another ‘download’ of insight occurred that also made my childhood make sense.
The ‘discovery’ of “Bohemia” was why I had to come to Prague.
Ok, so I don’t really know much about this - yet. What I do know is that there is significance to the route of travel I have chosen, Prague ~ Vienna ~ Budapest. I also know that historically these areas are connected. And, I have realised that this time in Europe, on location in these cities, is a time to explore what I am aware of as a central point or hub in several of my Past Life threads.
I am deeply grateful for the journey I have been on, this year. The building of new career and business ‘muscles’ has been hard and also rewarding. The awareness that I am now in a place where I can fulfill my teenage self’s commitment to her Quest to Explore Past Lives is profound.
I have another ‘piece’ of the puzzle of Who I Am which is ready to be explored. It feels like one piece in a section of pieces. I don’t know what they look like, yet. I do know that what I think might be the message or insight from this “Prague” piece is probably not what it will end up being. The journey is going to be compelling and I’m excited to explore!
For now, thought, I am happy to simply bask in the knowledge that I have uncovered a hidden message from the Past. My younger self, in this lifetime, and my “gypsy” self (selves!) from past lifetimes.
I am smiling gently, and I am also inspired by the potential story. What is it that Bohemia and the ‘bohemian thread’ can tell me about Me?
