Are Your Past Life
Important?
The idea of Past Life Experience – that you had a past life, or several -
is an ancient one, and one that is found on every corner of the earth:
Japanese, Australian aborigines, Africans, modern Wiccans and many other
New Age religions, all believe that you have past lives, and that your
past lives influence who and what you are today.
Your health, your mental wellbeing, and your social interactions are
impacted by each past life. For this reason, it is often a good idea to
‘know thyself’ - to meet who you were in a past life, settle the demons
that may be left over, and to integrate all the strengths you've
accumulated over time so that you may be a stronger person now and in
future lives.
There is nothing to worry about from the safety aspect point of view. In a
Past Life Experience you experience the shadows and the feelings of a past
life as if you are living that life for that moment.
Pleasant memories will make you smile while bad memories may give you a
tough time like in a nightmare. In such cases you end up waking like in
bad dream. However it's important to experience these bad memories to
completely understand and exorcise the Past Life Experience.
You also have to realize that you have to undergo this kind of experience
for you to be able to start your life positively. The recollection of
negative incidences of your past life is only a small portion of the
process. Once you are through with this Past Life Experience and you have
learned to accept and understand the life you have been through in the
past, you will be free to move on and make your current life better.
There is a theory of ‘Karma’ which says that, if we were good people in
one life, and committed kind and positive acts, then we will have ‘good
Karma’ and subsequently, we will receive ‘good’ in all future lives -
unless we change and become ‘bad’ people! If that happens, personal Karma
changes and negative events will hound us throughout future lives until we
have suffered enough to atone and revert back to being a ‘good soul’.
On the other hand, many people feel that no body is really bad and no one
needs to suffer for something that he has done in a past life and doesn?t
remember. Each new life is a new chance to make new choices. Once you know
that there was something that was not good in your past life then you need
to let that memory go and forgive yourself and all others involved. This
will help you to become free of the past and have a great life.
This interpretation causes confusion with many people that believe we are
not punished in future lives or destined to live that way forever. They
think that each new life is to do the things over again, that we may not
have done right before. Memories from a previous life are meant to allow
you to live in the present, once you have acknowledged them, recognized
them and learned from them.
While many thousands or rather millions have a certain level of curiosity
regarding Past Life Experience, others find it to be the most common sense
explanation with regards to the many mysteries which life lays before us.
If we look a little further we will notice that the concept of Past Life
Experience is the very cornerstone of many religions such as Buddhism and
Hinduism, to name just two. It's hardly surprising then that the number of
people who believe in having had past lives, far exceeds the number of
people who don't believe in such a fascinating phenomena. Together with a
little knowledge, there are various methods one can employ which can
greatly assist you in finding out more about a past life or past lives.
Maintain a Diary or Journal of Past Life Experience
* A particularly strong attraction to a certain culture that you've not
had anything to do with in this life. It for example you're attracted to
works of art from the Victorian era, you may have some connection to that
era in a past life. In that case you should do some research with regards
to the art of that era and if you discover that the art you're attracted
to is from a limited time period, then there's a good chance that you've
been around before.
* Strong emotions about incidents in history that you have no personal
ties to could indicate you may have been involved on a personal level, in
a past life.
* Fears, phobias and allergies can also sometimes be a good indicator with
regards to past life experiences, particularly if they cannot be connected
to your childhood years.
Remember, just as
good memories invoke good feelings, bad memories also tend to stir up
unpleasant feelings. In that case it will be just like waking up after
you've had a bad dream or a nightmare, in that you will simply feel a
little uneasy. You must however bear in mind that bad memories, if you
have any, are just as important in Past Life Experience as what good
memories are.
There are various forms of stimulation which people find to be beneficial
for meditation and while some prefer silence, others prefer visual or
audio stimulation. Such stimulation could for example include listening to
soothing sounds such as the sound of the sea. Likewise, visual stimulation
could include staring at the flickering flame of a candle or even the
dancing flames of a slow burning fire.
Those who are familiar with the theory of karma, will know that it is
believed that when one has led a good live and done good things, then you
will in turn receive good in this life and in future lives, unless of
course you change into a bad person at some point. In that case, rather
than being blessed with goodness, you can expect to be surrounded by
unpleasant events until such time that your karma once again becomes
balanced.
Past Life Experience Transgressional Therapy
Additionally, it is possible to gain an insight into past lives by means
of hypnosis or self hypnosis if you prefer. In fact there are many Past
Life Experience therapists who specialize in this field and for that
reason it may be in your own best interest to arrange for a meeting with
such a therapist.
If you would rather use self hypnosis in order to investigate your past
life or lives, then you should ultimately be looking for a technique which
also doubles as a method for deep relaxation. Before you actually go ahead
and use this technique for regression purposes, first spend a little bit
of time becoming familiar with the technique.
Hypnotic Past Life Experience is safe to undergo. You do not have to worry
about anything when the process proceeds. This is just a simple way of
going back to what happened in your past life. The people you came to
interact with and the events you experienced during that past life may not
look clear and precise but the point is to let you know what you are in
the past.
Unfortunately many people tend to get confused with regards to this
interpretation. Contrary to what some believe, we don't have to be bad or
suffer simply because of a past life. Instead, each time you are born you
are presented with a new opportunity to do things the right way. As a
result, once you accept the fact that a certain memory may indeed be from
a past life, and that you're not necessarily a bad person in this life,
then you can move on and have as good a life has anyone else.
Contrary to what you may currently believe, the amount of people who
believe in Past Life Experience, far exceeds the number of people who
don't believe in this mysterious phenomena. For many millions of people
who follow religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism, Past Life Experience
is a fundamental part of their everyday lives. On the other hand, there
are others who are simply intrigued by the very concept as well as the
many millions who look towards Past Life Experience for answers with
regards to the many mysteries we are faced with in our daily lives.
Whether you're a believer or not, there are some techniques which can help
you find out more in relation to any past lives you may have had.
Journaling Your Past Life Experience
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 Past Life Experience and perhaps you don't but the
fact remains, irrespective of what you believe, transgression is most
often very helpful and certainly, extremely interesting.
While dreams can represent the present, they can also represent the past
so it's fundamental that you do your best to record your dreams as
accurately as possible. Anything which may be interpreted as symbolic
which shows up in a dream, may relate to the past or the present, hence
the importance of keeping track. One approach which many people have found
to be very helpful, is the use of positive suggestion. In other words,
just prior to sleeping, suggest to yourself that you wish to learn about
your past life or Past Life Experience via the dreams you have.
Consequently, when you dream be sure to write down everything you remember
of the dream. This should however be done as soon as you awaken.
Regression Therapy
If it's at all possible for you to go to a professional past life
therapist, then don't hesitate. They will help you to interpret the
information you receive when guiding you through a regression. Such
therapists are trained and certified by The International Association for
Regression and Research and Therapies and the International Association of
Past Life Therapists and these organizations may be able to help you find
a Past Life Experience therapist in your local area.
Whether or not you believe in Past Life Experience, the images you receive
will assist you to resolve something in your life. It may not be possible
to be sure that the images you receive are from a previous life but quite
often people can get enough information to carry out some research and
verify names, events and places.
People are often fascinated to discover that those they are close to in
their present lives were with them previously, although the relationship
may have been very different. For example, your brother now may have been
your father in a past life.
Whatever you may believe about Past Life Experience and past lives, most
people who do try regression find what they receive to be helpful and
interesting, no matter what their initial belief.
If you believe in Past Life Experience, there are ways for you to figure
this out today. There are some individuals out there who practice Past
Life Experience as part of their religion, but others are simply curious
about their past lives. Whatever group you fall into, the answers lie in
everything you do in this lifetime. However, you must take advantage of
the clues you get along the way, and these are just a few ways you can go
about doing it.
Some people choose to meditate with sound whilst others prefer a visual
stimulus like the flame of a candle. For those who use sound, it can be a
recorded meditation session from a therapist or simply a piece of music or
sounds such as the "om" of Tibetan bells.
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.
When you made decision regarding this, go for the process that gives you a
deep relaxation method. This is the first technique that you should get
before the therapist proceed to the Past Life Experience.
If you are worried about your safety, no significant matter can disturb
you while in process. You will only recall your past life through the
regression and you might possibly experience back what happened in your
past life but only in a vivid pictures or shadows.
How do we know if we have had past lives or not? Most of us cant but our
dreams and visions which are not connected to this life can tell that we
do. Reiencarnation believers feel that all souls have a past life (though
some feel that there seem to be some new souls added seeing the increased
population).There are other signs of having a past life like:
* Past Life Experience is an overwhelming attraction or love of some
culture that you have not experienced and do not relate to your present
life For instant, if you adore Mesopotamian art, that era and region may
be familiar to you from a past life. You should find out more concerning
the art that you find interesting, especially if it is a distinct and
rather minor period. It may be a good indicator of a past life.
* Past Life Experience is Abnormally strong emotions about some incident
in history – if, for instance, you tear up when you look at Washington
Crossing the Delaware but not at any other revolutionary art, you may have
been involved in that incident in a past life.
* Past Life Experiences are Fears which are irrational and not connected
to your present life childhood. Allergies, psychological problems which
don?t have a cause in the present life time may have a link in the past.
This is of course, not an extensive list. Having such indicators does not
mean that you are actually remembering a past life. Observe the patterns
of your life, the range of things that you find attractive for some
reason. You may be able to tune into some of the likenesses that can aid
you in piecing the idea of what your past life or lives may have been like
to live.
You may be able to access your past life or past lives by being hypnotized
by someone else or with self-hypnosis. You may find that a visit to a Past
Life Experience specialist well worth the time and money. Past Life
Experience, is a deep hypnotic form of recalling memories from the
subconscious mind.
If you decide to use self hypnosis to access your Past Life Experience
yourself, look for a technique that doubles as a deep relaxation method.
Try to work with this technique for a while before using it for your
regression.
Keeping Track of Past Life Experience
One of the best ways people try to understand about your Past Life
Experience is by keeping track of daily events. It's a simple process
where all you do is write down all of your experiences. In fact, even if
you come across something that is trivial, you should still write it down.
There is also a connection between your emotions and a previous lifetime
so it's important to understand your reactions to certain events.
Eventually you'll have to come back to it and put all the pieces together.
Did you know that keeping a journal is one of the best ways to begin
exploring your past lives? Even recording trivial experiences along with
the rest of your experiences can be very helpful. Since your emotional
reactions provide you with the strongest clues when considering a past
life, you should include your emotional reactions to events in your
journal. This will be a record that you can refer to later, when
assembling all your clues.
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 your
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.
While all this is
great, you have to find a place that will allow you to meditate properly.
Having three kids in the family room, the phone ringing, and you trying to
meditate just won't work.
Before meditation, you should be in a receptive and positive state of mind
and either lie down or sit in a comfortable position. Quiet your mind,
while focusing on the relaxation of your muscles. If you experience any
unwanted thoughts, simply acknowledge then and then let them flow away.
This does take a bit of practice. You should not expect anything but to
become relaxed, while focusing on your heart. If you have questions,
simply ask them and then let them go. Rest assured that more than likely,
the answers will come when you least expect them.
If you truly believe in Past Life Experience, the images you get will
eventually help resolve something in your life. Just keep in mind that you
can't always tell if something is from a past life or your present one.
The only thing you do know is that if you log enough information, you're
bound to find something that works into your past life scenario.
It's an amazing thought, but there are times when people in your family
knew each other in a previous life. Granted, the relationship back then
could have been different, but the connection was still there.
Getting helpful information regarding your Past Life Experience can be
tricky. While this may be true, the individuals who do utilize regression
will get helpful and intriguing information about the past.
Since dream time may include various hints and symbols concerning past
lives, you should also record your dreams. Keep in mind that these symbols
can be very clear, while they may also combine experiences or messages
concerning this life or a past life. Upon falling asleep, you can make
suggestions about what you would like to learn about from a past life and
then write everything you can remember in your journal.
If you haven't heard of PLR, it stands for Past Life Experience. There are
several therapists out there that guide you through a regression period
and help you understand the information that comes from it. Unfortunately
there are only a few of these places available that truly train and
certify their professionals. We suggest letting the International
Association for Regression and Research and Therapies and the
International Association of Past Life Therapists find a therapist in your
area.
Experiencing the Meditation Phenomenon
While meditation can do wonders for learning more about a past life, some
people find it difficult to trust the enlightenment. If you're going to
take this route to find clues, you have to trust your own feelings before
you can understand them.
With images constantly fading in and fading out, meditation can very often
appear to be much the same as daydreaming. However, you should make sure
you write everything down so that you can go over it at your leisure, at a
time that best suits you. One should remember though, because the human
mind is so receptive to suggestion, if you tell yourself you can't recall
past life experiences, then you simply won't be able to.
You've probably seen movies where individuals use some sort of visual
stimulus to get started. It could be the flame of a candle or a pendulum,
but they are both helpful. If the visual stuff doesn't work, you may want
to try and meditate with sound. This could be from music, those audio
sounds that help you sleep, or various other tools that are similar.
Some individuals find that having a visual or audio stimulus, such as the
flame of a candle or a sound is useful for meditation. You may be
interested in using a pre-recorded guided meditation session from your
therapist or listening to music or specific sounds such a Tibetan bells or
the repeated sound of “om”.
