Past Lives – Why Should You Remember Your Past?
There are many things we can do in order to find out more about our past lives whether we believe in reincarnation or not. Interestingly enough though, the amount of people who believe in reincarnation far exceeds the number who don’t. In fact, reincarnation forms the backbone of many religions with Hinduism and Buddhism being just two of them. For many who don;t have any spiritual connection, reincarnation offers a common sense approach to solving some of life’s many mysteries.
Maintain a Diary or Journal of Experiences
It is generally accepted that by writing down the facts of your experiences, you stand the best chance of learning about your past lives. It is even advised that one should record the experiences which appear to be of little significance. Likewise, one should not neglect to record the way in which your emotions were affected by any experiences you’ve had as emotions are an ideal indicator which can lead to providing many clues. By documenting your experiences in a diary or journal, you’ll have a written record which you can then go over as and when required.
Throughout your daily routine keep an eye out for clues. For instance make a list of what you like and what you don?t like. This may include things from your childhood, the foods you like best, your preferences for fashion and your favorite cultures, climate, historical periods and architecture. You should also consider including how you feel about the various skills and talents you have along with your phobias and fears, the traits of your personality, the way you look physically and anything else which plays a big part in your life such as your pets, what you do for a living and those strange d?j? vu experiences you have every now and again. These are an indication to an experience in a past life.
On many occasions, experiences from past lives can show themselves in a dream so for this reason,it’s advisable to keep a note of your dreams, especially when you feel there is any indication that some aspects of a dream represent a past life. Keep in mind that dreams can often be a combination of of past and present experiences. Also, because the human mind can be very receptive to suggestion, one should suggest to yourself just as you’re going to sleep that you wish to recall memories from past lives. It is then essential that you write down the details of any dream follow such suggestions.
Past Life Regression Therapy
If you have the opportunity to visit a professional past life therapist, then don’t hesitate, just do it. You will be helped to make sense of the information you receive as the professional guides you through a regression. Therapists of this kind are trained and certified by The International Association for Regression and Research and Therapies and the International Association of Past Life Therapists and both of these organizations are likely to be able to help you find a therapist close by.
Meditation
Meditation is another extremely powerful means of being able to discover more about any of your past lives. Unfortunately, because meditation is more often than not very personal, many people encounter trust issues concerning the information they receive. The best advice anyone could give you in this respect, is simply that you need to place your trust in your own sixth sense.
Meditation is often described as a dream-like state of mind and of course, to a great extent this is true. Just as in a dream, images will come and go and for the most part, these images provide us with potential clues as to our past lives. For this reason, one should always be ready to write your recollections down on some paper so that you can ponder over them at a later time when it is more convenient for you. Being highly susceptible to suggestion, your mind is able to recall any information which you instruct it to but on the other hand, if you don’t believe that it is possible to recall past life experiences, then it simply won’t be possible.
For some people meditating requires sound whilst others prefer the quiet and maybe the visual stimulus of a candle flame. By sound, this can be a piece of music, the “om” of Tibetan bells or a recorded meditation session supplied by a therapist.
Recently, audio technology has produced some enlightening benefits by using a process called binaural beats where slightly different sound wave frequencies are used in each ear bringing on instant relaxation, similar to that experienced by the Zen monks during their meditations.
You need a place of peace to practice your meditation, somewhere where you will not be disturbed, whichever method you choose.
Your top priority is to be in a relaxed position while maintaining an open and receptive state of mind. Furthermore, don’t expect or hope for anything more that a feeling of deep relaxation. In most cases you’ll experience an abundance of thoughts attempting to interrupt your session but with a little practice, you’ll soon learn how to handle this effectively, simply by acknowledging them and then allowing them to pass by. Likewise, many questions will keep coming to mind as well but here again, simply address them and them put them aside. Once you achieve a suitable state of mind, the answers to the questions you have will come to you and in the vast majority of cases, they’ll come to you when you’re least expecting them to.
Whether or not you believe in reincarnation or not, if the images you receive actually help you to solve any problems, then your efforts will not have been in vain. For many people, proving the authenticity of the images they receive is at best, impossible. On the other hand, there are many people who receive images of such a nature, that they are indeed able to research places or even names which have been revealed to them.
While many people tend to discover that they’ve shared past lives with some of their loved ones from this life, the relationship they currently have with those people may differ to the relationship they shared in a past life. In other words, a brother in this life may have been a father in a previous life or they may even have been your son or daughter.
Perhaps you believe in reincarnation and perhaps you don’t but the fact remains, irrespective of what you believe, transgression is most often very helpful and certainly, extremely interesting.
