Past lives, comes from ancient cultures that believed in reincarnation such as Japanese, Africans, Australian tribes, and other newer religions, that look at reasons why a past life influences what your life is like today and dreams or feelings you have towards certain aspects.
Your health, your mental wellbeing, and your social interactions are impacted by each past life. For this reason, it is often a good idea to ?know thyself? - to meet who you were in a past life, settle the demons that may be left over, and to integrate all the strengths you've accumulated over time so that you may be a stronger person now and in future lives.
How can you tell you have a past life? You may not be able to, but in many cases you will have disturbing dreams, or memories while you're awake that do not belong to you. Many people who believe in reincarnation believe that we all have past lives (though if you do the math, it's more probable that there are at least some new souls!) Other indications:
* A strong love or attraction to some culture that you were not exposed to and that makes no sense in your current life. If you love Mesopotamian art, for instance, you may have a past life from that region in the era you find interesting. Learn more about the art that interests you; if it all comes from a distinct and relatively small time period, that's a pretty good indication that there's something there.
* Incidents in history that arouse strong emotions or bring you to tears with no explanation could relate you to a certain time period in a past life. You may have been involved in the incident or known somebody from a past life that was and it is stirring up memories in the subconscious mind.
* Irrational fears that were not triggered by some incident in your childhood, and possibly allergies as well. Psychological and certain physical issues may be linked to a past life.
You do not have to have all these indications to completely and confidently acknowledge that you are experiencing past life recollection. Actually, even just one single indicator is enough to say that you really do recall your past life. Search your inner self by looking at unfamiliar things that attract you most or odd patterns in your life that are unexplainable. These will help you put the pieces all together.
Self-hypnosis is a good way to tap into past life experiences through life regression that takes you back to what occurred before infancy and the womb. You can also be hypnotized by specialists in past life regression where a form of deep hypnotic trances are induced to get you to remember memories of past lives that subconsciously exist in your mind, even now.
If you decide to use self hypnosis to access your past life yourself, look for a technique that doubles as a deep relaxation method. Try to work with this technique for a while before using it for your regression.
In terms of safety there is nothing significant to worry about. What should happen is that you experience a past life vividly as if you were actually back in time. Although it may not be this intense you should still be able to experience ?shadows? and ?feelings? of a past life.
As you begin to recall the past life memories, you will be able to distinguish the good ones from the bad ones through the after-results. Good memories usually trigger good feelings while bad memories irritate your feelings causing you to feel bad. When you wake up, you will notice that it feels like you just had a bad dream. This means that you had a bad life in the past. Do not think that recalling unpleasant memories are bad for you; this is actually your key to know your past life.
Remembering past life experiences is an important part of moving on with your present life. Once you have remembered, your subconscious mind is no longer suppressing these feelings and you can understand and accept what happened in the past lives to give you a more positive outlook in your present life.
In relation to this, the theory of Karma says that those people who lived their past lives in such a good and kind way and have done acts of kindness in the past, they will surely have good Karma in this present life as long as they remained kind and good. But this Karma may possibly change if you turned yourself into a bad person. Instead of good karma, bad karma will definitely follow you in this present life even if you were kind and good in the past.
Some people were confused of this idea. They thought that the negative past life made them deserving of bad present life. This is actually not true. Every new life is a chance to make your life better and it?s up to you if you will choose to live your life the good way.
