Are you aware of the fact that there are more people who actually believe in reincarnation than those who don't? For many individuals, such as Buddhists and Hindus, as part of their religion, it's a way of life. On the other hand, there are those who are simply curious or maybe looking for answers to help them solve some of life's mysteries along with the people who think reincarnation is the most common sense approach when considering past lives. For those of you who have a desire to remember your past lives, there are quite a few ways you can go about things.
Record Your Experiences
All too often we are presented with very real and very valuable clues with regards to past lives, only to brush it aside, believing the experience to be of little significance. It's for this exact reason why it's of such importance to keep a record of events by writing them down. Furthermore, it's of particular importance that you record the emotional effect any given experience may have had on you as our emotions are more often than not, our strongest and most accurate indicators.
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 to a past life.
Just as one should keep lists of all the things already mentioned, so too should you record all the details of the dreams you have. The reason for this is because past life experiences can often manifest themselves in a dream, thus providing you with even more clues. Remember, dreams can represent the present life as well as a past life. It's been established that one's mind is is highly receptive to suggestion, so for many it may prove to be beneficial to suggest to yourself, before going to sleep, that you wish to recall past life memories via your dreams. Whenever you awaken from a dream following suggestion, be sure to write down all the details as soon as possible before they start to fade.
Regression Therapy
If you're in a position which allows you to consult with a professional therapist, then it is certainly advisable that you do so. Such professionals are trained and certified in this field and are therefor able to offer valuable guidance. Furthermore, a therapist can also help you to understand any information you receive. If for any reason you have difficulty finding a professional therapist, simply contact the International Association of Regression, Research and Therapies or the International Association of Past Life Therapists. Both of these organizations train and certify therapists and will be happy to help you.
Meditation - A Powerful Tool
Meditation is perhaps one of the most valuable means of acquiring knowledge regarding your past life or past lives. However, for many people it is sometimes difficult to accept and trust the information you receive, given that meditation is by all accounts, a very personal and private undertaking. Because of this, it is absolutely fundamental that one follows one's instincts and that you place your trust in your own feelings.
It is quite normal to feel as though you are daydreaming whilst meditating and images are likely to be flowing in and out of your mind as valuable information comes through too. As before, write everything down and take time to look it over later. Your mind is very suggestible, and will pick up what you tell it to, just as you will not get anything if you start off with a negative approach.
For some people, absolute silence serves them best when meditating while others may prefer some visual stimulation of one form or another, such as staring into the flames of a fire or staring at the flickering flame of a candle. Others on the other hand may prefer soft music or listening to sounds such as the sound of the sea or even a flowing river.
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.
Of paramount importance however, is the requirement for a quiet and peaceful environment.
Providing one can maintain an open and receptive mind, you may choose to lie down or sit while meditating. Of course your attention should be solely devoted to muscle relaxation and a clear mind. Any thoughts which threaten to distract you should simply be acknowledged briefly and then allowed to pass by. Questions which arise should of course be dealt with in much the same way, Simply by answering them and then letting them go. Admittedly this may require some practice at first but it does get easier with time, Expect only deep relaxation from yourself and nothing else. The answers you are seeking will come to you, even though this may only happen when you're not expecting it.
Whether or not you believe in reincarnation, the images you receive will assist you to resolve something in your life. It may not be possible to be sure that the images you receive are from a previous life but quite often people can get enough information to carry out some research and verify names, events and places.
It is perhaps most extraordinary that many people find they have shared past lives with some of those who are close to them in this life. However, the circumstances or the type of relationship you shared may in fact have been very different to the one you're currently experiencing.
Perhaps you don't believe in reincarnation or the possibility of having had past lives but if you at least try it, the chances are you'll find regression to be very beneficial and in no uncertain terms, extremely interesting.
