Your Past Lives – Ways to Remember Them
Many people, such as Buddhists and Hindus believe in reincarnation. It is part of their religion and their way of life. There are others who are just curious, some who seek the answers to life’s mysteries and those who consider reincarnation to be the more common sense approach as far as their past lives are concerned. No matter how you look at it, there are more people who believe in reincarnation than don’t and here are some ways to help you if you want to remember your past lives.
Maintain a Diary or Journal of Experiences
The way to successfully discover facts about your past lives is to write down your experiences in some kind of a journal. Describe in words things that take place and that happen, even when you think they are of little or of no significance. Make a note of your feelings as different emotions are more often than not the strongest clues we may get relating to past lives. You may find that all the notes you have taken are relevant to your past lives and fit together to make a bigger picture at some time in the future.
For those in search of answers, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to know that one can most often come across numerous clues if only you’re willing to search for them. An effective way of doing this is to draw up a list of all the things you like as well as all the things you don’t like. These lists could include a vast variety of things such as feelings towards certain cultures or religions or even particular foods which you may find to be important in your life. Additionally, personality traits such as your temperament, your talents and even your fears, are all gateways to further clues regarding a past life.
Record your dreams as best you can, since past lives may show up occasionally while you dream as well as any time that you may get a hint of a past life. Keep in mind that dream symbols may be reprehensive of both present and past lives and they may carry a meaning for you personally for either the present or the past. It is a good idea to present yourself with a suggestion, before you go to sleep, that you want to learn about your Past lives. When they come to you, simply write down everything and anything you may remember.
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
While meditation is an extremely valuable and worthwhile tool for anyone wishing to learn more about their past lives, many people have trust issues regarding the information they receive. This is hardly surprising really when when considers that meditation is in essence, a very private and personal affair. Perhaps the only way around this issue is for you to place your trust in your instincts and to follow your feelings.
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.
Some people meditate better using a visual stimulus, like a candle flame, while others find it easier to meditate with sound. This can be a recorded guided meditation session you get from a therapist or a certain piece of music or just sounds, like the “om” sound or Tibetan bells.
Some interesting benefits have recently been found in audio technology using a process called binaural beats. This uses slightly different frequencies of sound waves, playing in each ear and has results of instance relaxation, similar to that of experienced Zen monks during their meditations.
Irrespective of which method suits you best, have a quiet and peaceful surrounding is of utmost importance.
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.
The images you receive will help you resolve something in your life, and that is what is important whatever your belief in reincarnation. It may not always be possible to prove that these images really are from a previous life, although many people do get enough information to actually research and verify names, places and events.
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.
Regression helps people find what they receive to be helpful and interesting, whatever their views on the subject may have been initially.
