More and more people these days are starting to believe in the possibility of reincarnation. With different techniques that help you to recall your past lives available, it can get tricky trying to choose the method that best suits you.
A very good starting point is keeping a journal. Later on it will help you to identify patterns when you refer back to it. It is important to record all your thoughts, even over things that seem irrelevant. Because it is generally believed that emotions play a significant role in linking us to past lives, it is also important that you record yours in your journal as well. This could be anything, such as an irrational fear of heights.
To start with you should begin your journal by describing yourself thoroughly. Write about your likes and your dislikes. Describe what food you enjoy, what phobias (if any) that you have. If you find that you feel a particular affinity with a time period in history, or with a certain culture or even climate, write about that as well. Do not forget to write about what your talents are, and what you enjoy doing. Even writing about animals that you feel drawn to, or perhaps afraid of, can prove useful. Describe your personality and if you experience things like deja vu. If you do, record your experiences when you have them.
Your dreams also give clues in your past life. But keep in mind your dreams contain things from your present life as well but write it down anyway.
There exist another method called past life regression.
Past lif regression involves hypnosis and can, in some cases, be achieved without the assistance of a professional. However seeing a professional and trained past life regression therapist can be very beneficial for those who cannot do self-hypnosis. The therapist will guide the client through the regression and then, with your help, interpret the information gleaned during the regression.
Many people choose meditation as their preferred method.
When meditating there is usually no professional assisting and so many people find it difficult to trust the information they get during their sessions. But trusting your feelings as well as your instincts is necessary with meditation.
While meditation may feel like daydreaming to you, something of importance may come through as images start to flow through. Your journal maybe of help here too.
If you need help with your meditation that can assist you to focus and relax then you might well find guided meditation audios particularly beneficial. If that is not for you then you might try music, or perhaps burning some incense, or even listening to the sound of water can be very calming. But if none of the above proves useful there is another tool that can help.
Binaural Beats
Binaural Beats is an audio recording that allows you to listen to different frequencies in each ear which aligns the two hemispheres of the brain. Using this tool can assist you in achieving the same meditative state that Zen monks reach. It is important that you choose somewhere quiet and free from distractions when you meditate. You need to ensure that whether you are lying down or sitting that you are completely comfortable and relaxed.
Keep a positive state of mind and do not allow yourself to be distracted by any thoughts about your daily life. Although it might happen until you gain more experience with meditation. Instead of being completely side tracked try to make a note of it and then put it out of your mind. One thing that you need to remember is that meditation takes practice so do not give up when nothing seems to happen in the beginning. It is when we achieve a proper meditative state that questions will arise, just be prepared to find the answers when you are not expecting to.
This technique maybe of help in resolving issues in your current life. Some people have found that sometimes the people in their current life they have shared with a life with them before. In this way, you can do some research to verify the information received.
Within many religions, the idea of reincarnation is accepted, albeit in some more so than in others. Some believe in it so much that they also believe that whatever choices you make, or whatever you do in one life will affect your next life, too. So whether you have done positive or negative things, you will experience the consequences if not in your current life then in the next. This is not necessarily a wrong belief, because once you have discovered what happened to you in a past life, it can be beneficial to you in your present one.
Keep in mind that you have to go into any of these practices with an open mind and be able to accept that what comes out. Your mind has to accept that it is all right to remember the past life while you are learning to accept the memories that are deeply buried in the subconscious. You have to be willing to learn from your past mistakes and correct them in this one so that this present life is better than the last.
Many experts are of the opinion that past life regression can be very beneficial for the present life, even when the person concerned does not or cannot accept the information they receive. The subconscious can be unblocked and this can help, especially if it has negatively impacted the body. However, there are other benefits that come from past life regression.
Practically speaking, past life regression enables you to identify those things you did in a past life that resulted in negative consequences and not repeat those same mistakes. It is important for the well-being of your present life that you address the issues from the previous ones.
But past life regression can also help you to understand why you are the only artistic one in your family, especially once you have discovered that you were an artist in a previous life. You will be able to identify the talents you had in your past life and apply them to your current life, thereby enriching it all the more.
Overall, Past life regression sounds like a positive process to go through. It may give you insight to yourself even if you can’t accept it consciously.
