Taking Measures to Recall Events of A Past Life
The idea of reincarnation – that you had a past life, or several – is an ancient one, and one that is found on every corner of the earth: Japanese, Australian aborigines, Africans, modern Wiccans and many other New Age religions, all believe that you have past lives, and that your past lives influence who and what you are today.
What you are now and who you believed you are now is an influence of your past life including your health, your mental well being, and your social interactions are all influenced by your past life. This is why it is important to know yourself, who you are and what you are in the past, to be able to make yourself better and stronger in this current life.
Past Life Regression – How do we come to know if we really had a past life? It’s not possible in a conscious state but dreams and memories can give us a hint. Most schools of thought believe that every one has a past life though considering the rapidly increasing population there may be some new souls around as well.There can be other signs that can alert you to the existence to a past life:
* Are you strongly attracted to a specific culture or place that does not hold any place of importance in your present life? For instance you may be crazy about Mesopotamian art but not really understand why. Delve further into the aspects that interest you about that art and the time period you are interested in. If you can zero on a narrow range, we may have some clue.
* Abnormally strong emotions about some incident in history – if, for instance, you tear up when you look at Washington Crossing the Delaware but not at any other revolutionary art, you may have been involved in that incident in a past life.
* 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.
These are just some of the ways you can glean information about your past life however this is not a confirmation of any sort. A further investigation into things that attract you without any plausible cause and such similarities may give you a hint about the many aspects of your past life.
It is possible to access your past life or lives with self-hypnosis or by being hypnotized by someone else. There are specialists past life regression therapists who are well worth a visit to. A past life regression is a form of deep hypnotic remembering that can get to those memories of past lives that subconsciously are there.
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.
The safety aspect has no cause of concern. Past life regression is more like watching a movie or looking back in time. You will feel the emotions but not as intensely. You may also feel the shadows and the feelings associated.
As you recall your life in the past, it will generate after effects in your feelings. If you feel good, your past life could have been good. If you feel bad after the process, your past life could have been bad as well. Although some memories and past life events are not good for you, it does not mean that you will have the same bad fate in the current life. It is only a recollection of your past life for your benefits.
All you really need to do is to remember your past life and just move on. The suppression of the past life memories is the cause of all the problems. Once there is an acceptance and understanding about all the experiences in your past life you can move on and understand the present life with a fresh perspective.
Most people believe in the principle of Karma which says that every action has a reaction. Hence kind and positive acts translate to good karma and are rewarded in future lives while the bad acts are punished in the future lives. People who are bad keep getting problems to improve and these problems only stop when they atone for all their misdeeds.
However, there is often confusion by people over this interpretation. We are not destined to be bad or deserve to suffer because of a past life. With each new life we are literally born anew and it is our own choice to do the things you do. Once you realize that a certain memory is from a previous life, and you are not a ‘bad’ person now, then you can go on to have a ‘good’ life in the present.
