Past Lives: An Intuitive Meditation

Exploring Clues, Gifts, and Healing from Your Soul's Journey

Have you ever felt a familiarity you couldn't explain, like a person, place, or emotion you've known before but cannot pinpoint from where?

Are you curious about the stories your soul may carry, and how they continue to shape the way you move through the world today?

This experiential offering invites you into a gentle, guided meditation using visualization and symbolic imagery to explore past-life themes as sources of insight, meaning, and healing. Rather than focusing on belief or proof, this practice emphasizes curiosity through listening for emotional patterns, archetypal stories, and intuitive impressions that may be asking for integration in your present life.

Past-life exploration here is approached as a reflective and imaginative process, one that honors the psyche's natural language of images, sensations, and symbolism. What arises is treated as information, not instruction or mandate.

This offering is open to all levels. No prior experience with meditation, spirituality, or inner work is required, just a willingness to remain curious and attuned to your own inner landscape.

• An accessible introduction to past-life healing as a symbolic and intuitive practice
• Guided group meditations and visualizations designed to support insight and integration
• Space for optional reflection and journaling within a supportive, respectful community

Astrologically, Mercury retrograde is traditionally associated with reflection, review, and revisiting the past. During this season, we slow down and turn inward, examining old narratives, unfinished stories, and recurring themes with greater awareness and choice. This class is timed to support that process, offering a grounded container to explore what the past may be teaching you now.

Across many Indigenous, African, and diasporic traditions, dreams and inner imagery have long been understood as sources of guidance, offering insight from ancestors, land, spirit, or the psyche itself.

Within these traditions, meaning is carried symbolically rather than literally. Animals, landscapes, figures, and recurring images hold layered emotional, spiritual, and ancestral significance.

Across cultures and throughout history, humans have used imagery, story, and imagination to make sense of inner experience and to connect with the world around them. Contemporary research on guided imagery and visualization shows that the mind and nervous system respond to images as emotionally meaningful information, supporting insight, memory, emotional processing, and integration. Imagery offers a way of knowing that is felt, symbolic, and relational rather than purely analytical.

The work of Carl Jung later offered a Western framework for understanding these same practices. Jung described dreams, myths, and inner images as symbolic expressions of the unconscious that guide growth, balance, and the process of becoming whole. His framework did not originate this wisdom, but echoed understandings long held within people of the global majority and Indigenous traditions.

In this workshop, past-life imagery, intuitive impressions, and dream-like scenes are approached symbolically and reflectively as stories the psyche uses to communicate insight, unfinished narratives, or emerging gifts. The focus is not on belief or proof, but on noticing what resonates and how meaning unfolds in the present moment for you.

My approach is further shaped by my spiritual and intuitive development with Marcella Kroll, whose teachings emphasize intuitive development, symbolic literacy, and grounded spiritual discernment.

Together, these influences support engaging imagery with curiosity and care, listening without forcing, interpreting without over-identifying, and integrating insight in a way that honors personal agency and choice, without replicating or claiming ceremonial or lineage-based practices.

This experience supports symbolic and intuitive exploration for reflection and insight and does not replicate, replace, or claim Indigenous ceremonial or lineage-based healing practices. This event is not hypnosis, psychotherapy, or a substitute for professional mental health care. Participants are invited to take what resonates, leave what does not, and trust their own pace in the process.

Cynthia "Cyn" Magaña (she/they) is a queer, bicoastal Chicana therapist, 200-hour registered yoga teacher, and sound and somatic practitioner offering embodied, culturally attuned care for high-achievers, intuitive creatives, and tender-hearted souls who hold it together outwardly while feeling quietly overextended within.

Cyn's spiritual journey has been shaped by her two grandmothers, Juanita and Anita, who taught her to trust intuitive knowing and to relate to the metaphysical as something woven into everyday life. Their teachings, felt through ritual and quiet attention, continue to inform how she guides others back into relationship with their inner world. She remains committed to learning with humility and care, seeking trusted, ongoing mentorship from teachers rooted in indigenous healing traditions and divination practices.

Her offerings center Queer and Trans communities, People of the Global Majority, adult children of dysfunctional families, and wellness practitioners seeking grounded, trauma-informed experiences that honor both science and the metaphysical.
