The concept of reincarnation has been around ever since ancient times, and to this day there are still people all over the world that believe they have had a past life. Just as most oriental people believe in reincarnation, so to do the Australian aborigines and many Africans. In fact many new age religions also believe in past lives and that those past lives have a direct influence on one’s present life.
Because it is often believed that a past life has an effect on your current health and well being, many people believe that it’s important to know yourself, and also who you were in your past lives. It may well be in your own best interest that you settle the demons which may have been left behind. Also, it could well be worth your while to gather up all the strengths and knowledge which you’ve gained during past lives, in order to be a stronger better person in this life and in future lives.
How can you be sure if you’ve had past lives or not? The truth is, you simply cannot be sure, even though you may have peculiar dreams or disturbing memories when you’re awake, that you feel don’t belong to you. Interestingly enough, while a vast number of people believe that everyone has had a past life, some basic mathematics shows clearly that this is not the case, and that there must certainly be some new souls. Some other indications to look out for would include:
* Have you ever experienced an unusually strong attraction to a specific culture, even though you’ve not been exposed to it in any way during this life? Do you have to an unexplained passion towards art of a particular era? If you have, then you should do a little research in order to determine whether or not this era only covers a short space of time. If it does then it’s a good indication that there is some connection.
* Intense emotions with regards to a specific incident in history could also suggest that you may have been involved in one way or another with that specific event.
* Phobias and allergies which to the best of your knowledge do not originate from your childhood years, could also be linked to a previous life.
While the above list is far from being a complete list of indicators, it does however point out a few of the common ones. However, even if you have experienced one or more of the above, that does not necessarily mean you are remembering a past life. Instead, you should focus on looking for some type of pattern with regards to the things which tend to attract you for no obvious reasons. Once you do start to notice a pattern forming, putting the puzzle together will become increasingly easy.
Additionally, it is possible to gain an insight into past lives by means of hypnosis or self hypnosis if you prefer. In fact there are many past life regression therapists who specialize in this field and for that reason it may be in your own best interest to arrange for a meeting with such a therapist.
If you would rather use self hypnosis in order to investigate your past life or lives, then you should ultimately be looking for a technique which also doubles as a method for deep relaxation. Before you actually go ahead and use this technique for regression purposes, first spend a little bit of time becoming familiar with the technique.
From a safety point of view, there is essentially nothing you need to worry about because you’ll simply be experiencing a vivid recollection of a past life experience or experiences. In fact, rather than experiencing an intense recollection, you may experience nothing more than a few feelings.
Remember, just as good memories invoke good feelings, bad memories also tend to stir up unpleasant feelings. In that case it will be just like waking up after you’ve had a bad dream or a nightmare, in that you will simply feel a little uneasy. You must however bear in mind that bad memories, if you have any, are just as important in regression as what good memories are.
Furthermore, you need to bear in mind that it’s the ‘remembering’ which is the all important factor here. Once you start remembering, you’ll be able to move on in this life and it is only when one suppresses ones subconscious with regards to these memories, that problems start to arise. Acceptance and understanding with regards to things which happened in a previous life can go a long way in helping you in this life
As is mentioned in the theory of karma, if you lead a good life and you do good deeds then you can expect to receive good things in return. On the other hand, if you live the life of a bad person and you do bad deeds, then you can expect your life to be filled with problems and much unhappiness. You need to bear in mind that if you have of bad karma, it will stay that way until such time you strike a balance between good and bad.
Unfortunately many people tend to get confused with regards to this interpretation. Contrary to what some believe, we don’t have to be bad or suffer simply because of a past life. Instead, each time you are born you are presented with a new opportunity to do things the right way. As a result, once you accept the fact that a certain memory may indeed be from a past life, and that you’re not necessarily a bad person in this life, then you can move on and have as good a life has anyone else.
