We all wonder at times where our motivation comes from. Where do we get our interests and abilities? How was Felicia able to teach herself to play the recorder with so much ease! Why did five-year old Eric leave a museum in tears because he could not have a suit of armor? Why did the child, Helen, trim her Barbie doll's hair and replace a glamorous evening gown with a simple tunic? And where do some of our problems come from? 

Past-life therapist Barbara Lane,Ph.D., regressed thirteen medieval and Renaissance reenactors to find out if they might be recreating a happy past--focusing on the joy of festivals and banquets and tournaments--in order to provide a safe context for healing ancient soul memories. 

During their regressions, Nick, who recalled a past-life beheading, was released from debilitating migraines; Paula, who remembered dying at the hands of a vicious man, no longer feared being victimized; and Dori, who experienced the past-life loss of a child, was now freed of her fear of having children. 

Remembering past lives and soul growth seem often to go hand-in-hand. Our souls, after all, contain the record of our experiences on the earth, and what a joy (and deep relief) it is to find that there is no unrepairable damage from our past lives! 

The author is a clinical hypnotherapist, specializing in past-life therapy. She is a former reporter and anchor. Dr. Lane speaks widely on this subject, and does interviews for both radio and television. Her previous book, Echoes from the Battlefield, was the subject of a Sightings tv segment. 

"Echoes is fascinating, thorough, and immensely readable--A marvellous addition to the literature on past lives research." ......Brad Steiger 

"In a time of anonymity and disunity, people are using organizations such as the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. (SCA), to make connections with each other, with things they wear and use, and with the past from which we all come. Lane has done a remarkable job of helping explore past lives and the needs that bring people together, especially if they relate to the ongoing evolution of the soul. ... Diana Paxson, Author and originator of the SCA. 

The costumed celebration of the Renaissance Pleasure Faire brings our history to vibrant life. Barbara's book opens the door to even more fascinating possibilities. Could it be that many who have taken living history as a hobby are drawn to specific areas because of past lives?...Phyllis Patterson, creator of Renaissance Pleasure Faires
