UNDERSTANDING PAST-LIFE BLOCKAGES

The term “past-life blockages” typically refers to unresolved emotions, memories, or traumas from previous lives that accumulate and affect our current one. These can manifest as irrational fears, phobias, or psychological issues with no clear origin. Identifying and clearing these energy blockages is believed to help individuals free themselves from negative past influences, thereby facilitating spiritual growth and healing old wounds.

Before I began my work as a healer, I had heard stories about how we might encounter people from past lives with whom we have unresolved karma. This would explain why we might feel a strong sense of familiarity with a stranger or, conversely, an intense, irrational dislike for someone at first sight.
In my practice of quantum hypnosis, it’s not uncommon for clients who regress to past lives to encounter people they know in their current life. Emotions, memories, and impressions from those past connections are often carried over. At the time, I didn’t have much understanding of energy, so I could only interpret these experiences through the client’s verbal accounts.

Real-World Case Studies

As a Siam Reiki practitioner, I have since worked on many cases where past-life blockages emerged, often triggered by a similar event or a person who was present in both lives. From this perspective, I don’t just hear the client’s story; by placing my hands on them, I can directly perceive and observe the energy of the blockage. I see how the story unfolded, the emotional state of the people involved, and what they carried into their present life, which I then describe to the client.

In one instance, during an aura reading for a five-year-old girl, I noticed she had strange aversions, such as an intense fear of water, heavy rain, and thunderstorms. Her fear was so extreme it seemed uncharacteristic for a child living a peaceful life. When I looked at her fifth chakra, a past-life blockage clearly manifested as a feeling of water and mud filling her throat. I then performed a distance Reiki session to clear that past-life trauma and the intense emotions she was carrying. At that stage of my development, however, I could only perceive these blockages when I had my hands on a client or was intentionally performing an aura reading.

Looking back now, in September 2025, I realize there were several times I experienced a past-life blockage myself, not as a practitioner, but as a client.

My Personal “Street Beer” Healing Experience

In late 2024, I met up with fellow Masters W and H, our friend V (a Level 2 Siam Reiki student at the time), and a friend of Master H, Mr. L (who, despite not studying Reiki, is a Qi Gong Master). We all met at a “bia hơi” (draft beer) pub in Hanoi for a casual gathering. After we’d had a few beers, everyone looked at me and said I didn’t look happy. Immediately, Master W placed her hands on my chest, Master H put his hands on my head, and V held my hands. I simply relaxed and waited to see what would come up. My friends encouraged me, saying, “Open your heart! Let it go!”

At first, some energies surfaced but they weren’t very clear, and they passed before I could identify them. After about five to seven minutes, Master H asked Mr. L to take over. Mr. L pressed his fingers firmly against my forehead, so hard his nails dug into my skin, which was quite painful.

That powerful touch from Mr. L reminded me of the powerful “head knocks” my father used to give me as a child. A sense of pent-up emotion surged up my throat, and I began to sob, with tears streaming down my face. L’s energy acted as a catalyst, triggering a flood of unresolved anger and resentment I had towards my father. I felt as if I was being pushed back in time: first to middle school, then elementary school, all the way back to kindergarten and even when I was just a few months old. It was strange, as I obviously couldn’t remember what “grievances” I could have possibly had with my father as an infant.

But it didn’t stop there. I was pushed back even further, to a time before I was born, and the anger grew so large it became, “I hate all of humanity.” Then I drifted into another dimension or past life where I was a woman, a brilliant leader. I wasn’t a queen or a person of high status, but a powerful general who commanded great respect. I was at the top because I was so skilled. The feeling was, “I’m so good, I don’t fear anyone. I can take on all of you.” The sensation of being “so good” was incredibly vivid, and even now, it’s funny to recall.

It’s worth noting that earlier, at the same pub, when we were working on Mr. L, Master H had seen one of L’s past lives where he was a brave general who fought to his last breath, long after his soldiers had perished.

Looking back, it seems my meeting with Mr. L triggered that past-life blockage within me. At that time, I wasn’t able to see past-life trauma surfacing in the energy field, but if I had, I would have had even more fascinating stories to tell.

The Five Generals – Another Past-Life Experience

This happened in July 2025 during a Siam Reiki class I taught in Ho Chi Minh City. Four students, including two who are friends of each other; one from the city, and one who had flown in from abroad, were in the class. It was their second day, and they were about to perform their first Reiki exchanges.

Suddenly, a past-life energy surfaced with incredible clarity. They were four Mongolian generals, brave and talented, who had fought and died together. The energy of their camaraderie and bravery filled the room. It was a beautiful energy. Then, one pair started a session and a different past-life dynamic emerged: one of them had killed the other with a sword to the neck in a past life.

My development with Reiki has truly opened up a world of vivid and tangible experiences with past-life blockages. More than just being an observer, Siam Reiki provides a tool to clear these blockages for both myself and others. In my opinion, it’s not productive to focus solely on past-life traumas while neglecting the present. My approach is to live a happy and healthy life in the present, and only address past-life issues when they are negatively impacting your health and well-being today.
