Past Lives and Emotional Recognition: My Experience During a Medicine Buddha Puja with a Tibetan Geshe

Can past lives influence the emotions we experience in this lifetime?

In this first episode of The Infinite Life Podcast, host Katische Haberfield introduces the central theme of the show — understanding our present lives through the lens of past incarnations.

During a difficult period in her life while navigating the end of her marriage, Katische attended a Tibetan Buddhist retreat seeking clarity and emotional grounding. While participating in a Medicine Buddha puja led by a Tibetan Buddhist Geshe, she experienced an intense and unexpected emotional reaction that would later lead her to consider how past life connections may influence our present emotional experiences.

This personal story became one of the foundational moments that led Katische to explore past lives more deeply and ultimately to create The Infinite Life Podcast.

In this episode:

• What past lives and reincarnation mean within spiritual traditions
 • How emotional responses can sometimes signal deeper karmic connections
 • Katische’s experience during a Medicine Buddha puja at a Tibetan Buddhist institute
• Why a Tibetan Buddhist Geshe plays an important role in the story
• How family history, trauma, and possible past life experiences can influence emotional patterns
• Why understanding past lives may help people make sense of their current life journey

This episode is for listeners interested in past lives, reincarnation, karmic connections, spiritual awakening, and understanding how emotional experiences may be connected to previous incarnations.

Season 1 of The Infinite Life Podcast explores the fundamental question: what if life does not end when the body dies?

Through direct insights, real past life memory sessions, and conversations with guests who have experienced expanded states of consciousness, this season introduces a new framework for understanding existence, identity, and the continuation of the soul.

Across these episodes, you’ll begin to see how past lives, emotional patterns, and consciousness itself are all interconnected—and why remembering this changes how you live now.
