As strange as it may seem, there are far more people on this planet who believe in past lives, also known as reincarnation, than there are who don’t. For some, reincarnation or at least the concept thereof, forms the very foundation of their religion. This is especially true in the case of Hindus and Buddhists although this also applies to many other religions as well. For others, reincarnation may simply offer the most common sense explanation for the many mysteries in life.

Keeping Track of Your Experiences

One of the most effective ways to discover facts about your past lives is to record your experiences in a journal. Make a note of things that happen to you, even the events which seem unimportant. Write down how you feel about things as they happen because our emotions are very often the strongest clues we have and may well relate to a past life. The details you write down at various times may later be pieced together like a jigsaw.

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.

While dreams can represent the present, they can also represent the past so it’s fundamental that you do your best to record your dreams as accurately as possible. Anything which may be interpreted as symbolic which shows up in a dream, may relate to the past or the present, hence the importance of keeping track. One approach which many people have found to be very helpful, is the use of positive suggestion. In other words, just prior to sleeping, suggest to yourself that you wish to learn about your past life or lives via the dreams you have. Consequently, when you dream be sure to write down everything you remember of the dream. This should however be done as soon as you awaken.

Past Life 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.

Benefits of Meditation

Another way of exploring your past lives is meditation. This is a private method of finding out about past lives and requires the necessary discipline as far as trusting your own instincts and feelings when clues are received.

Admittedly, meditation can often feel very similar to daydreaming, with thoughts, visions and images constantly coming and going but one should realize that during this process, some very valuable information will also be passing through. Be sure to write down absolutely everything so that you’ll be able to go over it all at a time which is convenient. Also, as mentioned already, the human mind is very open to suggestion so if you tell yourself that you cannot recall past life experiences, you simply won’t be able to.

For some people, meditation is assisted with visual stimulation such as staring at a pendulum or at the flame of a candle. For others, audio stimulation works better, such as the sound of waves or even recording of the sounds made by dolphins or whales.

A more recent discovery has also surfaced lately which has been showing some very promising results. Know as “binaural beats”, this new technology involves playing sound waves of different frequencies in each ear. So far, results tend to suggest that this process an instantaneous feeling of deep relaxation, much the same as experienced by the famous Zen monks when they meditate.

Whichever method you choose to use, it is important that you have a peaceful place to carry out your meditation where you will not be disturbed.

First and foremost, you need to be in a comfortable position and secondly, you need to be relaxed and receptive. Likewise, your mind needs to be free of thoughts which are undesirable in relation to your meditation. While it may take some practice, you need to be able to allow these thoughts to pass on after only having paid them a minimum amount of attention. Likewise, when questions come to your mind, address them and them let them go again. During this time you should expect nothing more than to experience a feeling of deep relaxation and rest assured, the answers you are searching for will most often come to you when you’re least expecting them.

In most cases, the information and images that come through will help you to solve some of those mysteries you have pondered, whether you believe in reincarnation or not. Of course it may not always be possible for you to prove to others just how authentic your experiences are although it is common to gather enough information at times, in order to research some facts such as names or places.

People are often fascinated to discover that those they are close to in their present lives were with them previously, although the relationship may have been very different. For example, your brother now may have been your father in a past life.

Irrespective of your personal beliefs, the chances are that if you take the plunge and experience regression, you’ll find it to be both helpful and extremely interesting.
