Back In Time: My Journey Through My Past Life

Past lives. There are so many different opinions revolving around this topic. Although the belief of having past lives/experiencing reincarnation has existed for thousands of years in religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, etc., spiritual individuals have been diving into the idea of past lives as well.
So what exactly is a past life? I’m glad you asked.
Background
Shine states that,
Past lives, or the belief of reincarnation, refers to the process of a soul going through various incarnations on Earth, each time building on what was learned in the preceding lives. “Each lifetime gives us a new perspective to see the human experience from a new angle,”.
Shine also argues that is it possible to calculate how many past lives you’ve lived previously. By adding your birth month number, your birthdate number, and the year of your birth, you’ll either get a single-digit number or a master number (in numerology terms). For example, my birthdate is 3/23/2001, which = 11. According to this theory, a master number 11 means I’m insightful and intuitive.
Now this probably sounds like a bunch of jargon. I too find this a bit too far off the ledge of spirituality, but I do know I indeed have past lives. How do I know? Well, from one very interesting experience.
The Regression
Why
About 4 years ago I heard from one of my parents' friends that he had had a past life regression. He went into a deep form of meditation and was guided into remembering his past life. This just sounded too good for me not to try. I’ve always wanted to see what I was getting into in a different life since I had a feeling It would explain a lot of things in my current life.
How
One day while I was in my second year of college, I decided to try past life regression. I found a past life regression-guided meditation on YouTube…I know how it sounds, stay with me. I sat on my bed and just listened.
I heard very calming music, all while hearing a narrator. He explained what a past life was, how it can be…
