Negative past experiences leave very deep negative impressions or scars on the soul, which sometimes take a lot of time to heal and sometimes an entire birth can be spent without them getting healed. Negative past experience imprints and negative emotions like anger, hatred, fear, pain, guilt etc. are closely linked.
