Do you know there are many more individuals who do believe in reincarnation than there are that do not? For some it is a way of life as in the instance of Buddhists and Hindus, as part of their religious beliefs. While many may be merely curious or looking to explore answers to some of the mysteries of life, many others may consider that it just makes the most sense when considering past lives. There are various ways to find out more about your past lives.
Documenting Your Experiences
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.
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 to a past life. Even feelings of deja-vu are worth writing down.
On many occasions, experiences from past lives can show themselves in a dream so for this reason,it's advisable to keep a note of your dreams, especially when you feel there is any indication that some aspects of a dream represent a past life. Keep in mind that dreams can often be a combination of of past and present experiences. Also, because the human mind can be very receptive to suggestion, one should suggest to yourself just as you're going to sleep that you wish to recall memories from past lives. It is then essential that you write down the details of any dream follow such suggestions.
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.
The Power of Meditation
Meditation is one of the various ways to aid you in exploring your past lives. Although, meditation is a private technique that helps to find out about a past life, however, many individuals may have a hard time trusting the information that they receive, therefore, you should always trust your feelings and instincts when receiving such clues.
While meditating may feel like a daydream, and images are flowing in and out, there may be some valuable information coming through. Write it all down and ponder it later. Likewise, if you tell yourself that you won't be able to do it or you won't get anything, you won't. Your mind is very suggestible, and it will retrieve what you tell it to.
Some people meditate better using a visual stimulus, like a candle flame, while others find it easier to meditate with sound. This can be a recorded guided meditation session you get from a therapist or a certain piece of music or just sounds, like the "om" sound or Tibetan bells.
A recent discovery using audio technology, known as ?binaural beats?, is proving to be extremely effective at inducing an instant state of relaxation. Test results show that playing sound waves of different frequencies into each ear, produces a state of relaxation just as deep and intense as that which is experienced by Zen monks.
Rather than force yourself to use any given method, simply ensure that you have an area which is calm and quiet.
Lie down or sit in a comfortable position, while being in a receptive and positive frame of mind. You will focus on relaxing your muscles while quieting your mind. When undesirable concerns enter your mind, simply acknowledge them and then let then pass, however it may take some practice to do so. You should focus on your heart, while not expecting anything but relaxing. When questions arise, ask them and then let them go. The answers will come to you, when you least expect them.
The images you receive will help you resolve something in your life, and that is what is important whatever your belief in reincarnation. It may not always be possible to prove that these images really are from a previous life, although many people do get enough information to actually research and verify names, places and events.
Interestingly, many individuals, do find that the people they love presently were with them in a previous lifetime, however, their relationship status may be very different. For instance, your brother may have been your father of husband in a previous lifetime.
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.
