Excerpt
From the Introduction
My interest in reincarnation began one night as I drove past an old cemetery in a town I had never been in before. As I drove past the entrance to the graveyard, I began sobbing hysterically. I knew, without any doubt, that I was buried there. Somehow, I knew my name had been Sarah and the date I had died.
Since it was late at night and I was not particularly fond of exploring graveyards in the dark--not to mention how scared I was--I returned home and thought about my experience all night long. By morning, I had convinced myself that I was crazy. Nevertheless, I went back to the cemetery and walked right over to the grave I felt was mine. The name and dates on the headstone were the same ones I had become aware of the night before. As I stood there, looking at my own grave, I began to remember events and emotions that belonged to me when I was someone else.
The experience was so real and so vivid that even my conscious mind couldn't deny it. This experience opened up a new world for me. It was an exciting world of understanding and insight and knowledge about who I was, why I'm here, and the experiences that have shaped and molded me into who I am now. I realized that this experience led to the unfolding of my destiny that I had chosen before my birth into this lifetime.
The knowledge and awareness I've gained, both in this lifetime and in my past lives, are echoes of many different experiences and many voices. The more I learn, the more I become aware of the vast knowledge that is within all of us. This book is my way of sharing the knowledge I have acquired and is offered to help you remember and understand who you were before, how all of your past lives have led you to who you are now, and how they will influence who you will become.

Book Reviews
This book is a how-to manual designed for those interested in finding out more about themselves. Rather than stressing only case studies or theories, this book shows the reader how to find out about his or her own past lives. Within its pages, Chadwick discusses the meaning of birthmarks, inexplicable fears, familiar scenes and other phenomena that seem to be indicative of past life experiences. It avoids occult phraseology and it gives a workable theory for understanding the nature of the unconscious mind. Fate Magazine, June, 1989
Other Books of Interest
Starting with the assumption that reincarnation is an established fact, the author concentrates on the ways in which past lives may affect the events and details of a person's present existence.
Ms. Chadwick describes how to recognize past-life memories as they arise from the subconscious mind in relaxed states and in dreams. Included is the technique of following up those "this has happened before" feelings of deja vu. Furthermore, there are sections on validating past-life experiences through investigation and research.
Also presented is the traditional and proven technique of getting ideas about what must have happened in a past life that would bring about conditions that exist in the present. For example, intense and long-lived interests that you pursue in your spare time may point to a career in a previous incarnation. So may talents that surface unexpectedly from time to time. Apparently irrational fears may be based on real occurrences in a previous life.
The author concludes with a lengthy discussion of karma, the universal law of cause and effect whereby the effects of our activities in one life may not be felt until a future life. People from past existences may show up in your life and "give you the opportunity" to get the relationship right this time around.
The book tries to show you how every deed has its inescapable consequences--a concept that tends to foster a sense of responsibility. Ms. Chadwick explains everything simply, and without jargon--except for a few buzzwords such as "Alpha" and "karma," which she explains carefully. There is much valuable information here to look at.

The Book Shelf
Ms. Chadwick teaches classes on reincarnation and has conducted thousands of past life regressions. In the book, she goes into detail on how current fears, likes, and attitudes may be the result of experiences from the past intruding on the present. There are four basic sections (Beginnings, Explorations & Experiences, Karma, and Enlightenment), each of which is further subdivided into chapters. There is a strong emphasis on self-development which is all to the good. The suggestions on how to enter a receptive state are powerful and will help you to understand your motivations. It is best to keep a journal on everything that comes through as even the smallest detail may turn out to have significance later on. Each chapter of the book contains a number of useful exercises. Dreams are a direct pathway to the subconscious and a tool for exploring past lives. Karma is simply letting the past go and creating a much more fruitful present. The nature of this book is to help you create a positive experience. Worth reading and very well done.
