Many people believe in the idea of reincarnation, which is about the thought that people had a previous past life and that past life is said to have been affecting the current life in terms of self soul searching. People from all over the world: Japanese, Australian aborigines, Africans, modern Wiccans and many other New Age religions, have a strong belief on this idea.
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.
Past Life Regression – 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:
* When you saw or learned about a particular culture or arts, you already had a deep connection or attraction to that thing. Based on reincarnation idea, this may be because you were from that region or from that era. To be fully sure of this, you may want to learn some more culture or arts and discover your reactions and the effect it gives you; it may be linked to your origin in your past life.
* You may feel strongly about an incident in history like the American Revolution for instance. May be you feel very strongly because you have been a part of the movement.
* You might be experiencing different allergies or problems that were not previously present or detected or you might have some psychological or physical problems that you cannot explain which might be linked to your 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 are planning to use self hypnosis then try to use something that can deeply relax you. First learn to relax deeply and then only attempt 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.
It is the remembering of this past life, which is important; and once you have remembered, you can start to move on. It is only the subconscious suppression of these memories which causes problems. By understanding and accepting what happened in the past you can start to experience this present life with a totally different outlook.
There is a theory of ‘Karma’ which says that, if we were good people in one life, and committed kind and positive acts, then we will have ‘good Karma’ and subsequently, we will receive ‘good’ in all future lives – unless we change and become ‘bad’ people! If that happens, personal Karma changes and negative events will hound us throughout future lives until we have suffered enough to atone and revert back to being a ‘good soul’.
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.
