Almost all cultures of the word from Japanese to Australian and African to Aborigines believe in reincarnation. Whether it's a Wiccan or a Hindu, every religion believes that all of us have lived in the past as different people and those past lives have made us what we are today.

Your past life is believed to have been influencing your health, your mental well being, and your social interactions at this present life. And because of this, it will be better for you if you will be able to make yourself stronger and better now by knowing your past life, whether what you were before or settling what you haven?t settled before.

If you have recurring or disturbing dreams and memories while you're awake that don't have a basis, it could be an indication of something that happened in a past life. People who believe in reincarnation think that everybody has past lives and that some souls come back more often than others until life lessons are learned. There are other signs of possible reincarnation experiences, such as:

* A romantic crush based on a different country or culture that you were not exposed to and has no logical explanation in your current life could be relating to a relationship from a past life. Interests in things that you were not raised around or ancient cultures could indicate an era you once lived in. If there is a tie to cultural and romantic dreams, art, buildings and societies that don't fit your life today, it is possible you existed in that period and region in a past life.

* You may be unreasonably passionate about some happenings in history. For example you may be drawn to a battle in history where you feel passionately about one party. This may indicate that you have a connection.

* Certain physical or psychological issues and problems that you cannot explain or give logical reasons for its existence may be linked to what your past life was.

The fact that you have experienced any of these doesn't necessarily mean you are remembering a past life, it is usually indicated by patterns, attractions, tastes, incidents in your life that are put together to indicate the possibility they may be coming from a past life because they have no basis in your childhood or present life.

Self-hypnosis is a good way to tap into past life experiences through life regression that takes you back to what occurred before infancy and the womb. You can also be hypnotized by specialists in past life regression where a form of deep hypnotic trances are induced to get you to remember memories of past lives that subconsciously exist in your mind, even now.

You may want to consider using the hypnotic techniques that has a relaxation effect, once you made your decision about hypnotism. Allow your self to be comfortable and relaxed for a while before you proceed to past life regression.

There is no need for concern in regression hypnosis if you experience a past life vividly as it won't be as intense as the real experience but you should be able to get emotions of past life experiences, but not strong ones.

If good feelings are brought out, those are important as bad feelings from past life memory are a part of regression that can manifest how you react and think in your present life, whether good or bad. You may have an uneasy feeling that is hard to explain after awakening from the trance, but the regression is meant to bring those feelings to the surface.

All you really need to do is to remember your past life and just move on. The suppression of the past life memories is the cause of all the problems. Once there is an acceptance and understanding about all the experiences in your past life you can move on and understand the present life with a fresh perspective.

'Karma'says that, what goes around comes around, if we were good people in one life, we will have good Karma and receive good things in future lives. Karma changes and negative events come about if a reversion is made to being a 'bad soul', and we no longer receive good until we have made amends for the past life that the bad occurred in, however long ago that was. Once the punishment has been served, you are once again in good graces and you move from that life into the next to learn the next lesson or receive that Karma.

However these days people don't agree with this kind of a theory since they believe that no one needs to suffer because of a past life. Each life that we live is an opportunity to turn a new leaf and do good deeds. What we need to understand is that we are not bad people and we can always forgive ourselves for our bad deeds and become good.
