In my system, we believe that every soul has a soul record that contains every moment the present and past lives we have experienced. Some of them can be quite overwhelming(like death, trauma, vow) that our soul has deep rooted energies - these energies often loop again and again so that we may experience them in this life.

Unlike teachings of Buddhism, it is not always a situation of an-eye-for-an-eye. Take me for an example, I have found several deaths as a teacher because my teaching and my belief was in conflict with people in those lives. These energies have brought on to this life and make me reluctant to speak to others, using a way of bad breath.

This is only one example, many more past lives could be even less direct yet causing the problems you may have now. I am on a stage of practicing this method and want to help those with the problems I had. :)
