In today’s episode of Healing From Within your host Sheryl Glick author
of The Living Spirit Answers for Healing and Infinite Love which shares
stories of spiritual awakenings, communication with the Divine, healing
miracles and ways to connect to your intuition and Higher Self and am
delighted to welcome Dena Merriam author of My Journey Through Time the
story of how the events and people she has encountered have served to
awaken memories of past births and help her understand this life
providing spiritual direction and guidance.
As listeners of “Healing From Within” are aware Sheryl and her guests
share intimate stories and insights into the world of Universal Energy
for perhaps a clearer understanding of our energetic and physical worlds
so we may proceed to conquer the fears beliefs and limitations that hold
us back from the truth of our human and divine connections.
In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” we will discover how Dena
remembered past teachers and loved ones in past lives and realized the
most important message is the continuation of relationships through
time….through death and rebirth. Dena will recount memories of at least
seven previous births in many countries with their different cultures
and religions. Themes emerge that shape her life and will shape lives to
come. Dena is a managing partner at Finn Partners and her work involves
cultural marketing and creative services She is indeed a multi-
dimensional being of great experience and personal power and like the
Vitruvian Man is a Vitruvian Woman who represents the merging of all
aspects of beauty science spirituality and knowledge in the world. She
is the recipient of the 2014 Niwano Peace Prize in Japan for her
commitment to interfaith dialogue.
Dena shares with us when asked to think back to her childhood and
remember a person place or event that may have shown her or others the
life she would pursue and the values she would hold dear in their adult
lifestyle.
Dena writes, “I was born with the door to my past only
half-closed…memories haunted me. I remember my birth and my father’s
arms cradling me and there was comfort in that physical closeness that
eased the tremendous discomfort in finding myself confined once again in
a physical form. I was born into a Jewish family to parents who clung to
Jewish culture and identity more from an historical than spiritual
perspective. I developed a passion for ballet and found myself dancing
in my dreams performing way beyond the physical capacities I had in this
life. From childhood I loved Mother Mary and would pray to her at night.
In elementary school I studied French and was soon dreaming in French.
It became the language of my interior life… I became an avid reader and
was fascinated by 19th century Russia. My political interests were soon
replaced by a driving quest for the spiritual. My husband and I read a
book Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda and both
recognized Yoganda as our guru. After our divorce I developed both my
business and spiritual pursuits in a new way.
At first Dena questioned if her past-life experiences she was beginning
to remember were real but actually traveling to a place that she
remembered in her Russian life proved to her that she had been there
before. To understand how past-life experiences are real we must begin
with this life and discover the triggers that awaken our past memories.
It could be a person or place dream or visit from Spirit. Most of the
time it is a combination of events that open the heart and soul to the
truth of our true nature.
Dena Says…A few years after she moved into her big house and was
separated from my husband she began to have dreams of a different grand
house. She realized there are different types of dreams. Most dreams are
of a subconscious nature, a melding of thoughts and fears about our
daily lives. Some dreams are of a symbolic nature and convey a message.
