Will Remembering Your Past Lives Help You In This Life?
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 an assortment of ways to find out more about your past lives.
Documenting Your Experiences
One of the best ways to learn about your past lives is to begin a journal. You should write down the things you experience, even those experiences that may seem insignificant. While including the way you feel about any event, since our emotions are the strongest clues we have, that may relate to a past life. Journaling your experiences creates a written record that can aid you in piecing your clues together when using it later as a reference.
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.
Record your dreams as best you can, since past lives may show up occasionally while you dream as well as any time that you may get a hint of a past life. Keep in mind that dream symbols may be reprehensive of both present and past lives and they may carry a meaning for you personally for either the present or the past. It is a good idea to present yourself with a suggestion, before you go to sleep, that you want to learn about your past lives. When they come to you, simply write down everything and anything you may remember.

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.

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.
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.
At times meditation may seem like daydreaming, when the images are coming to you and then leaving again, however, you may come across some very important information. You should write these down to ponder over later. Since our minds are so very suggestible, it can retrieve the information you ask it too. Keep in mind that if you tell yourself that you cannot do it, you will not be able to do so, because of the negative thought you have planted.
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.
Some interesting benefits have recently been found in audio technology using a process called binaural beats. This uses slightly different frequencies of sound waves, playing in each ear and has results of instance relaxation, similar to that of experienced Zen monks during their meditations.
No matter which form of meditation technique you may use, be sure that it is somewhere peacefully comfortable while allowing no disturbances while meditating for the best results.
Of course one can lie down to meditate but you run the risk of falling asleep, therefor it is recommended that you adopt a sitting position instead. Don’t burden yourself with any expectations apart from expecting a state of deep relaxation. Focus should be entirely on muscle relaxation as well as a calm and clear mind. Thought and questions which come to you during this time should be addressed as briefly as possible and then allowed to pass on by. While this may seem challenging at first, with a little practice, it does get easier.
The images that come to you are helpful for resolving some issue in your present life, whether you believe in reincarnation or not. Although, it may not always be possible to prove that the images you receive come from a previous lifetime, many individuals do receive enough information to begin researching and verifying the events, areas or names they do receive.
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.
Whatever you may believe about reincarnation and past lives, most people who do try regression find what they receive to be helpful and interesting, no matter what their initial belief.
