Ideas to Help You Remember Your Past Lives
Are you aware of the fact that there are more people who actually believe in reincarnation than those who don't? For many individuals, such as Buddhists and Hindus, as part of their religion, it's a way of life. On the other hand, there are those who are simply curious or maybe looking for answers to help them solve some of life's mysteries along with the people who think reincarnation is the most common sense approach when considering past lives. For those of you who have a desire to remember your past lives, there are quite a few ways you can go about things.
Keeping Track of Your 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.
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.
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.
Past Life Regression Therapy
Of course not everyone is in a position to meet with a past life regression therapist but if you can then it is certainly advisable that you do. Being professionals in this field, these people are trained and certified to offer guidance as well as to assist you in understanding any of the information you may receive. The International Association of Regression, Research and Therapies, together with the International Association of Past Life Therapists, both train and certify people in this field and are therefor able to offer assistance should you encounter any problems finding a reputable therapist.
Benefits of Meditation
Meditation is perhaps one of the most valuable means of acquiring knowledge regarding your past life or past lives. However, for many people it is sometimes difficult to accept and trust the information you receive, given that meditation is by all accounts, a very personal and private undertaking. Because of this, it is absolutely fundamental that one follows one's instincts and that you place your trust in your own feelings.
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.
For some people, absolute silence serves them best when meditating while others may prefer some visual stimulation of one form or another, such as staring into the flames of a fire or staring at the flickering flame of a candle. Others on the other hand may prefer soft music or listening to sounds such as the sound of the sea or even a flowing river.
A relatively new development using sound technology has been shown to have very promising results. This therapy known as \"binaural beats\" is performed by playing sound waves in each ear but with slight variations in the frequencies. Current studies tend to suggest that a feeling of deep relaxation is instantly experienced, similar to that which is experience by Zen monk when they meditate.
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.
In most cases, the information and images that come through will help you to solve some of those mysteries you have pondered, whether you believe in reincarnation or not. Of course it may not always be possible for you to prove to others just how authentic your experiences are although it is common to gather enough information at times, in order to research some facts such as names or 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.
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.
