That’s because imprints aren’t based on your current reality.

They come from a past moment or a past reality (or your perception of a past reality).

Imprints will always be with us; we can decrease their power by becoming aware of them.

The memories you still hold on to are clues to your imprints.

It could be a good imprint or perhaps a sad one.
