Past Lives And A New Understanding
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.
Documenting Your 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.
Your present daily life is more often than not, full of clues if only you're willing to look for them. Keeping a list of the things you like and dislike such as various foods, cultures, religions, and even architecture, can also shed some light on certain mysteries. In addition to this, one should keep a similar record with regards to one's personal traits such as personality, temperament, talents, and even any particular phobias you may have. Even things which may appear to be of little importance, such as a birthmark or your favorite type of animal, can all serve to provide additional clues.
As past lives may show up while you are sleeping, it’s a good idea to record what you dream about, but bear in mind the symbols of your dreams may represent your current life as well as any past lives. Just before you fall asleep, tell yourself you would like to learn about your past lives and make sure you record anything you can remember in your journal when you wake.
Past Life Regression Therapy
The International Association for Regression, Research and Therapists, together with the International Association of Past Life Therapists, are both reputable institutes who train and certify professionals in this field and it is highly recommended that you consult with such a professional if at all possible. Not only are they able to guide you through the process of regression, but they are able to help you understand any information you acquire along the way. If you experience any difficulty locating a professional therapist, simply contact one of the above mentioned institutions who will be happy to point you in the right direction.
Meditation
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.
Meditation is often described as a dream-like state of mind and of course, to a great extent this is true. Just as in a dream, images will come and go and for the most part, these images provide us with potential clues as to our past lives. For this reason, one should always be ready to write your recollections down on some paper so that you can ponder over them at a later time when it is more convenient for you. Being highly susceptible to suggestion, your mind is able to recall any information which you instruct it to but on the other hand, if you don't believe that it is possible to recall past life experiences, then it simply won't be possible.
For some people, meditation is assisted with visual stimulation such as staring at a pendulum or at the flame of a candle. For others, audio stimulation works better, such as the sound of waves or even recording of the sounds made by dolphins or whales.
Stirring up quite a bit of excitement in this field, is the recent discovery of the benefits of using binaural beats. This is still a relatively new technology which involves sound waves of different frequencies being played in each ear. Results so far suggest that the subject feels instant relaxation at a level much the same as that experienced by Zen monks during meditation.
Rather than force yourself to use any given method, simply ensure that you have an area which is calm and quiet.
Get yourself comfortable either sitting or lying down and ensure you are in a positive frame of mind. When things you do not want to think about enter your mind, acknowledge them and then let them pass. This may not come easily at first but with a little practice it will be second nature. Simply concentrate on nothing except relaxing and focus on your heart. Should any questions arise, ask them and then move on. You will discover the answers come to you when you are least expecting them.
While many people do receive information and images which allow them to do research regarding different places or names of people, for many it is simply not possible to the authenticity of the images they receive. However, whether you believe in reincarnation or not, as long as the images you receive actually help you to solve some problems in your life, then it has all been worthwhile.
Another thing often discovered is that those close to you now also played a part in your previous life, although the relationship may well be different. For instance, your father in your present life may have been your brother previously.
Regression helps people find what they receive to be helpful and interesting, whatever their views on the subject may have been initially.
