Helping Yourself Remember Past Lives
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
One of the most effective ways to discover facts about your past lives is to record your experiences in a journal. Make a note of things that happen to you, even the events which seem unimportant. Write down how you feel about things as they happen because our emotions are very often the strongest clues we have and may well relate to a past life. The details you write down at various times may later be pieced together like a jigsaw.
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 déjà vu experiences you have every now and again.
Just as one should keep lists of all the things already mentioned, so too should you record all the details of the dreams you have. The reason for this is because past life experiences can often manifest themselves in a dream, thus providing you with even more clues. Remember, dreams can represent the present life as well as a past life. It's been established that one's mind is is highly receptive to suggestion, so for many it may prove to be beneficial to suggest to yourself, before going to sleep, that you wish to recall past life memories via your dreams. Whenever you awaken from a dream following suggestion, be sure to write down all the details as soon as possible before they start to fade.
Regression Therapy
If you're in a position which allows you to consult with a professional therapist, then it is certainly advisable that you do so. Such professionals are trained and certified in this field and are therefor able to offer valuable guidance. Furthermore, a therapist can also help you to understand any information you receive. If for any reason you have difficulty finding a professional therapist, simply contact the International Association of Regression, Research and Therapies or the International Association of Past Life Therapists. Both of these organizations train and certify therapists and will be happy to help you.
Meditation - A Powerful Tool
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.
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.
Audio technology using a process called binaural beats has recently produced some interesting benefits. Slightly different sound wave frequencies are used in each ear and this brings on instant relaxation, likened to the experiences of the Zen monks during their meditations.
Whichever method you choose to use, it is important that you have a peaceful place to carry out your meditation where you will not be disturbed.
First of all you need be in a comfortable sitting or lying down position and in a positive mindset. When unwelcome issues enter your mind, acknowledge them and let them pass. This may not be so easy at the beginning but with practice you will soon be able to do this. Whilst not expecting anything except to be able to relax, focus on your heart. Ask any questions which may arise and then let them go. You will find, when you are least expecting it, the answer will come to you.
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.
It is perhaps most extraordinary that many people find they have shared past lives with some of those who are close to them in this life. However, the circumstances or the type of relationship you shared may in fact have been very different to the one you're currently experiencing.
Whether you choose to believe in reincarnation or not, for the most part, regression proves to be helpful for most people and for those who remain skeptical, regression will at least prove to be unimaginably interesting.
