Meditation
While meditation is an extremely valuable and worthwhile tool for anyone wishing to learn more about their past lives, many people have trust issues regarding the information they receive. This is hardly surprising really when when considers that meditation is in essence, a very private and personal affair. Perhaps the only way around this issue is for you to place your trust in your instincts and to follow your feelings.
During meditation it is normal to feel as though you are daydreaming and images will be flowing in and out of your mind whilst valuable details come through at the same time. Make a note of what you experience and then look through your notes later on. Your mind will pick up on what you tell it to; just at it will not pick up on anything at all if your approach is negative.
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.
A relatively new development using sound technology has been shown to have very promising results. This therapy known as “binaural beats” is performed by playing sound waves in each ear but with slight variations in the frequencies. Current studies tend to suggest that a feeling of deep relaxation is instantly experienced, similar to that which is experience by Zen monk when they meditate.
Irrespective of which method suits you best, have a quiet and peaceful surrounding is of utmost importance.
Lie down or sit in a comfortable position, while being in a receptive and positive frame of mind. You will focus on relaxing your muscles while quieting your mind. When undesirable concerns enter your mind, simply acknowledge them and then let then pass, however it may take some practice to do so. You should focus on your heart, while not expecting anything but relaxing. When questions arise, ask them and then let them go. The answers will come to you, when you least expect them.
The pictures you get in your mind will help you to determine something in your life whether or not you believe in reincarnation. Of course, you may not be sure the images are from a previous life but sometimes people are able to piece together sufficient information to carry out research and verify the names, places and occasions which have arisen.
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.
Perhaps you believe in reincarnation and perhaps you don’t but the fact remains, irrespective of what you believe, transgression is most often very helpful and certainly, extremely interesting.
Past Regression – The interest in the topic of reincarnation, past lives and how to remember our past lives has been growing rapidly. A lot of people are looking for ways to bring back the events of their former lives.
One good way to begin is to start taking notes on anything which might be a part of one of your past life. Write down everything which could be a clue – your emotions may be the best thing to track. Also take note of any phobias you have which seem irrational to you; these may be clues and your notes may start to show patterns which can tell you more about your past lives.
The first things to enter into your notes should be your likes and dislikes, fears, aspirations and anything which you seem especially strongly attracted to places, cultures and the like. If you ever experience deja vu, this should definitely be added into your past life notes.
Your dreams also give clues in your past life. But keep in mind your dreams contain things from your present life as well but write it down anyway.
Another way to go is Past life Regression.
This will involve paying a visit to a past life regression therapist. They will use hypnosis and other techniques to guide you through a past life regression as well as help you to interpret the things that you may experience. You can also try self-hypnosis in order to achieve the same effect.
Many people use Meditation as a way to find out about their past lives.
You can do this on your own, but keep in mind that you?ll have to trust your own instincts and feelings as you proceed.
When meditating, it may seem to you as if you are merely daydreaming; however, you should take note of the things which come into your mind as you meditate, since some of these thoughts and images may be parts of your past lives.
Things to help you in your meditation maybe things like music, a visual focus point or burning a pleasant smelling incense or a combination of them. Prerecorded guided meditation tapes maybe what you need or a soothing sound like water will be of help. If that isn’t helping this may.
Binaural beats
Binaural beats are frequencies which can allow your mind to quickly reach the kind of meditative state which could otherwise take a considerable amount of time to learn. When you meditate, it should always be in a quiet place which is free of distractions. Try to relax your body and your mind completely.
Allow your muscles to release all of their tension and if there is a distraction, simply dismiss it and let it go. It can take some practice to become skilled at meditation, so practice regularly and don?t expect to be successful on the very first try.
This technique maybe of help in resolving issues in your current life. Some people have found that sometimes the people in their current life they have shared with a life with them before. In this way, you can do some research to verify the information received.
The concepts of past lives and reincarnation are an important part of many religions, with some even espousing the concept of Karma, in which your deeds (for good or ill) will affect your circumstances in your next life. Knowing what has happened in your past lives can assist you in getting on a better course in your current life.
When you want to experience past life regression, the most important thing is to come to the experience with an open mind, ready to accept the images and thoughts which may come to the surface. To make the most of the experience, you should also be open to the idea of using what you learn from your past lives to improve your current life.
Many experts in these area feel that has very positive impacts on your life now due to fore mentioned, learning from the past and if you still don’t accept past lives your subconscious may free a block in your mind that has had a negative effect on your body. There are other benefits from having done a past life regression.
As already mentioned past life regression can help us by identifying the mistakes we made in our past life or lives, and not repeating them in the present life. The way we do that is by confronting those past life issues head on.
Being able to see what you were or like in the past may help you see a hidden talent that was just waiting to be brought to the front and so help you live a richer, fuller life now. This will also help you have a much better understanding of yourself. If something about yourself that was a mystery before like say singing, maybe you were a professional singer in a past life. And so that talent is coming out even if no one else in your family can hold a tune.
Past life regression allows you to get to know yourself better, thereby making better decisions and choices n your current life. Therefore it is beneficial to investigate it further, as it helps you to discover just who you are and why you are the way you are.
While many thousands or rather millions have a certain level of curiosity regarding reincarnation, others find it to be the most common sense explanation with regards to the many mysteries which life lays before us. If we look a little further we will notice that the concept of reincarnation is the very cornerstone of many religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism, to name just two. It’s hardly surprising then that the number of people who believe in having had past lives, far exceeds the number of people who don’t believe in such a fascinating phenomena. Together with a little knowledge, there are various methods one can employ which can greatly assist you in finding out more about a past life or past lives.
Maintain a Diary or Journal of Experiences
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.
If you have the opportunity to visit a professional past life therapist, then don’t hesitate, just do it. You will be helped to make sense of the information you receive as the professional guides you through a regression. Therapists of this kind are trained and certified by The International Association for Regression and Research and Therapies and the International Association of Past Life Therapists and both of these organizations are likely to be able to help you find a therapist close by.
Meditation is another method of exploring your past lives. This is a private way of discovering information about past lives and needs discipline when trusting your own instincts and feelings about received information.
Meditation is often described as a dream-like state of mind and of course, to a great extent this is true. Just as in a dream, images will come and go and for the most part, these images provide us with potential clues as to our past lives. For this reason, one should always be ready to write your recollections down on some paper so that you can ponder over them at a later time when it is more convenient for you. Being highly susceptible to suggestion, your mind is able to recall any information which you instruct it to but on the other hand, if you don’t believe that it is possible to recall past life experiences, then it simply won’t be possible.
There are various forms of stimulation which people find to be beneficial for meditation and while some prefer silence, others prefer visual or audio stimulation. Such stimulation could for example include listening to soothing sounds such as the sound of the sea. Likewise, visual stimulation could include staring at the flickering flame of a candle or even the dancing flames of a slow burning fire.
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.
You need a place of peace to practice your meditation, somewhere where you will not be disturbed, whichever method you choose.
Get yourself comfortable either sitting or lying down and ensure you are in a positive frame of mind. When things you do not want to think about enter your mind, acknowledge them and then let them pass. This may not come easily at first but with a little practice it will be second nature. Simply concentrate on nothing except relaxing and focus on your heart. Should any questions arise, ask them and then move on. You will discover the answers come to you when you are least expecting them.
Whether or not you believe in reincarnation or not, if the images you receive actually help you to solve any problems, then your efforts will not have been in vain. For many people, proving the authenticity of the images they receive is at best, impossible. On the other hand, there are many people who receive images of such a nature, that they are indeed able to research places or even names which have been revealed to them.
