Jock Brocas - The Everything Guide to Past Life Experience: Explore the Scientific, Spiritual, and Philosophical Evidence of Past Life Experiences

Dear Reader,

I was honored when I was asked to write this book. I have had many glimpses into past lives, for myself and for those clients I have read for as a professional psychic medium. I have witnessed the power that is innate and therapeutica catalyst for changeand I have seen how learning from past incarnations has enhanced lives. I have witnessed people co-creating a wonderful future when they recognize what lessons from the past have been shaping their future. This book is a gift to you from the world of spirit, and I want to show you the way to a brighter future by clearing the karma of the past.

I have a running joke with my wife, Joanne, that she has had more past lives than you could possibly imaginea pilot, a singer, a dancer, and a surgeon. I cringe at the thought.

Nevertheless, I know deep within, and from my own spiritual team of helpers, that our past incarnations have shaped the present moment. Lessons have been learned (or not, as the case may be), and this could be the reason you experience certain influences, traits, and potential hurdles in your life. What I find astonishing is that you can be your own health therapist. With a little help from your own spiritual team and the knowledge contained in this book, you can go on the journey of lifetimes and see firsthand what has shaped your present moment.

From my own experiences as a medium and with the aide of my colleagues and my guides, I offer you the opportunity to shape the now by learning from the past. You are meant to be reading this book at this moment, if only to be taken on a roller coaster of historical influence.

These handy, accessible books give you all you need to tackle a difficult project, gain a new hobby, comprehend a fascinating topic, prepare for an exam, or even brush up on something you learned back in school but have since forgotten.

You can choose to read an Everything book from cover to cover or just pick out the information you want from our four useful boxes: e-questions, e-facts, e-alerts, and e-ssentials. We give you everything you need to know on the subject, but throw in a lot of fun stuff along the way, too.

We now have more than 400 Everything books in print, spanning such wide-ranging categories as weddings, pregnancy, cooking, music instruction, foreign language, crafts, pets, New Age, and so much more. When youre done reading them all, you can finally say you know Everything!

I dedicate this work to my wife and soul mate, Jo. Her love and support is more than I deserve, and I thank God for bringing her to me. I also dedicate this book to my guide Ellie, thank you! A special thanks goes to the editors at Adams Media, who were some of the best I have worked with.
