28 Jul 10 Have I Really Had A Past Life?

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.

So, is it possible to tell whether or not you’ve had past lives? While you may have some rather disturbing dreams, or you may have some strange memories which you feel don’t really belong to you, it may not always been possible to know for sure if you’ve had a past life. Of course while the vast majority of people who believe in reincarnation tend to believe that everybody has had a past life, a bit of simple mathematics would suggest otherwise. Other indications you may wish to look out for:

* A particularly strong attraction to a certain culture that you’ve not had anything to do with in this life. It for example you’re attracted to works of art from the Victorian era, you may have some connection to that era in a past life. In that case you should do some research with regards to the art of that era and if you discover that the art you’re attracted to is from a limited time period, then there’s a good chance that you’ve been around before.

* 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.

Hypnosis and self hypnosis are both means through which people can access their past life or lives. In fact there are people who specialize in helping others to gain access to memories locked in their subconscious minds. These past life regression therapists make use of what is known as “deep hypnotic remembering” in order to make it possible to remember past life experiences.

If on the other hand you prefer the idea of self hypnosis, then you should find a technique which also helps you to achieve deep relaxation in addition to hypnosis. Also, it is advisable that you spend some time working with the chosen technique before actually using it for regression.

Considering that the most you’ll experience is a vivid recollection of a past life, there is essentially nothing to worry about with regards to your personal safety. On the other hand your experience may not even be very intense, and you may simply experience some shadows and feelings of a past life.

Furthermore, while good memories will result in good feelings, bad memories will result in bad feelings, much the same as you experience after a bad dream. Just as with a bad dream, you’ll tend to wake up feeling uneasy but at the same time you need to bear in mind that any unpleasant memories are also an important part of regression.

The all important issue here is that you actually remember something from a past life so that you can then move on. Remember, when the subconscious mind is suppressed, only then can these memories lead to further problems. By having the ability to understand and to accept what has happened in a past life, you’ll be able to experience this live from a different perspective.

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, there still seems to be a great deal of confusion with regards to this interpretation. Unlike some choose to believe, you are not doomed to a life of misery simply because of your actions in a past life. Each time you are born into a new life you once again have the chance to do things in such a way so as to attract good karma. Of course once you reach the stage where you’re aware of the fact that a certain memory is from a past life, and that it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a bad person, you can then live happily in the knowledge that this life can be great.
