Understanding Past Lives to Heal Drug and Alcohol Addiction
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Vlad, who says I’ve been battling drug and alcohol addiction for most of my life and nothing I try seems to release me from these addictions. I’d like to find peace for myself on this Earth before my time is up.
The Council says it’s wonderful you’ve tried many ways to heal your addictions and there were lessons in that for you, but you’ve come into this life to bring information about reincarnation. It’s also important to learn how to meditate. Chakra breathing will help you immensely. But what you came into this life for was to understand and bring forward the ideas of reincarnation.
Read all the books you can on reincarnation. Read books on life between lives. Read books on lessons that are set up before you came into this life. And read books on why you chose to be addicted to drugs and alcohol. As you read you’ll get more understanding on these topics. Then you can get information in meditation and dreams.
Read Brian Weiss, Robert Schwartz, and Michael Newton. These books will have the information you need to move forward, feel better about yourself, have more understanding, and heal yourself. Begin by reading Only Love is Real, by Brian Weiss. Then go into the works of Robert Schwartz and Michael Newton. These will give you more understanding how you plan each lifetime.
You’re one of many people who have prepared in spirit to go into a problem, learn about past lives to heal this problem, and bring that information forward to share it with other people.
You had a past life as an alcoholic who died early from drinking-related disease. This was a very unhappy life, which you tried to heal by drinking to forget, but that didn’t work. You came back into this life to find another way to heal this problem. The healing comes by staying in the problem, going through it, and then getting understanding why you created this problem.
In a different life you were a physician who helped many sick people, but never thought you did enough. In your current life maybe you have feelings about not being able to do enough and this comes from that lifetime. This memory is brought in on a subconscious level, but you don’t know that until you learn about past lives and how they affect you in your current life and how you can change this problem now. When you have this understanding you’ll have more choices than you can imagine.
Don’t be afraid to share what you’re learning about reincarnation with other people. You’re here to bring this information in. You have an important journey this time around as a soul who has gone through a lot, but can heal. You need to share this information.
Listen to the entire 7-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Vlad and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it, or ask your own question.

Welcome
Bob & Cynthia
Welcome to Ask The Council, a blog where you can ask a group of loving and wise spirit guides a question and get an answer, for free. You can also contact us for a paid private phone session with The Council, and you can read the questions other readers have asked and the answers they’ve received. Other posts contain quotations from The Council that we hope you find inspiring, uplifting, and educational.
Ask The Council a Question
If there’s a question you’ve been thinking about and you’re curious how The Council might answer it, we encourage you to either use the blog’s Comments feature to ask your question, or contact us for a private phone session. You can click here to go to the ‘Let us know what you think about this post, or ask The Council a question’ section of this Welcome post and type your question there or you can type your question in the same section at the bottom of any post that inspires you to ask a question or leave a comment.
Since the blog is currently a project we do in our spare time it can take a while for us to do a session with The Council on a question and then publish a post on the session. Depending on the question and the session it can sometimes take weeks after a question is asked to publish a post with The Council’s answer. Please be patient.
The Council
Cynthia is able to communicate with a group of five non-physical spirit guides in a manner similar to the way Esther Hicks communicates with and speaks for the spirit guides, Abraham, and Jane Roberts communicated and spoke for the spirit guide, Seth. I (Bob) basically interview The Council as they speak through Cynthia during what we refer to as a session. Sessions generally last 5-15 minutes and are usually audio recorded. During the session Cynthia is aware of what The Council is saying and she also receives visual impressions and other types of telepathic communication from them.
The Council’s Basic Guidance
Since we began these sessions with The Council around 2009 they consistently emphasize a few basic ideas that we attempt to summarize here:
1) You are an eternal spiritual being in a physical body.
You are the energy and vibration of continuously expanding love, intelligence, and joy.
Your physical experience in your physical body and your psychological experience of your personality is a small part of the totality of who you truly are.
Let yourself imagine from time to time what it might feel like to experience more of the wondrous totality of who you really are, and don’t be surprised if you are able to experience this more often.
2) You are the creator of all that you experience.
As you open to the possibility your true nature is greater than you ordinarily perceive, it becomes easier to consider the possibility that this expanded you is truly the creator of everything that you experience.
If you’re used to thinking of yourself in a more limited sense, the idea that you are the creator of your experience may be difficult to understand. Our post, What About This Idea That We Create Whatever We Desire, offers insights into this idea.
3) You are here to expand the love you are into physical reality.
You chose, as a spiritual being, to come into this physical reality to experience the joy of expanding the love you are as a spiritual being, into this physical reality. This is your purpose for being here.

Ask The Council 
Greetings to Bob, Cynthia and the Council. Due to alcohol and cigarette addictions, I would like to ask The Council about my past lives experiences and is this affecting my current reality in dealing with these addictions. Also, I have had horrible heartache from being separated from my short lived relationship with my twin flame (past 20 years). I had never had such beautiful love and then having it ripped away from me. It was so painful, but I want to be able to heal the pain

I am holistic and generally have been in excellent health, for many years.Recently due to
dealing with the stress of helping a family member with her personal issues together with my job where I have been carrying a heavy bag for many years, I have developed 3 herniated discs in my neck. I am in pain now every day and nothing seems to alleviate it. I am considering changing jobs and I feel I have a greater purpose in life to possibly open a clinic and help people heal from addictions or disease.But the constant pain in my neck is preventing me from moving forward. What can I do to heal the pain in my neck so I can move to the next and possibly most important mission in my life ?Does the council feel that this could possibly be my purpose in this lifetime?
