Why was it important to tell your story?
I strongly believe in encouraging people who have gone through experiences like mine to share their stories. The subject of reincarnation is still considered taboo by many, but it’s time to break that barrier. I urge individuals to speak out about their experiences and fears and let go of the fear of being exposed and rejected. It’s essential to embrace the intensity of past life experiences and share them with others who are interested in learning more about them.
What is a common misconception you feel people have about lucid dreams and reincarnations?
It’s crucial to approach others’ experiences with an open mind and heart. Rather than dismissing them outright, we should strive to understand and empathize, even if we don’t necessarily agree. Each person’s experience is unique and meaningful to them and should be acknowledged as such. By embracing this perspective, we can foster greater acceptance, empathy, and connection with one another.
I appreciated the candid nature with which you told your story. What was the hardest thing for you to write about?
During the years 2018-2021, I wrote to document the experiences that I went through. Writing helped me establish a boundary between my past self and who I am now. It was a way for me to
anchor myself and my thoughts. Deciding to publish the book was a challenging decision for me, but I took the bold step to share my story with the world, despite it being deeply personal. I feel
proud and confident in my decision to put myself out there and let my voice be heard.
What is one thing that you hope readers take away from On the Other Side: Memories of a Past Life?
This book speaks to two types of readers – those who find joy in the story and those who seek spiritual growth. For those interested in the story, I invite you to read it and experience the emotions within it at your own pace. For those who are on a spiritual journey, I encourage you to have faith in your experiences and to share them with others. Carrying the weight of your experiences alone can be a heavy burden. Through them, you can discover what defines you and how you can move forward into a brighter future.
