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.

These clues which have been mentioned, often manifest themselves in our day to day lives and providing you're willing to look for them, you're sure to find some. For example, you could start by making one or two lists. The first one could consist of the things you like or don't like and could cover a wide range of factors, from foods to religions, from cultures to historical events. The second list on the other hand could cover more personal aspects such as moods, temper, talents and even any specific fears you may have. Additionally, keep a record of other things such as any scars you have and even make a note of your birthmark. While these may seem insignificant, they may well provide clues further down the line. Even feelings of deja-vu are worth writing down.

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 Transgressional 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 can be highly effective in providing clues regarding past lives. However, because of the very personal nature of meditation, many tend to have some issues as far as trusting the information they receive is concerned. Because of this, it is always recommended that you follow your instincts, relying on your own sixth sense.

Admittedly, meditation can often feel very similar to daydreaming, with thoughts, visions and images constantly coming and going but one should realize that during this process, some very valuable information will also be passing through. Be sure to write down absolutely everything so that you'll be able to go over it all at a time which is convenient. Also, as mentioned already, the human mind is very open to suggestion so if you tell yourself that you cannot recall past life experiences, you simply won't be able to.

Staring into the flames of a fire, or at any flame for that matter, can be beneficial for meditating although some people pr4efer audio stimulation instead, such as soft music. Of course not everyone requires stimulation as many prefer total silence instead.

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.

Most importantly though, is that your meditation sessions are always done in an area of peace and quiet.

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 important thing is that you are able to use the information or images you receive in order to solve some mysteries or problems. Whi8le some people sometimes receive information or images which they can verify with a little research, this is not always the case so don't always expect to be able to prove the legitimacy of the information revealed to you.

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.

People who try out regression more often than not find what they receive to be both interesting and helpful, no matter what their initial belief on the subject may have been.
