Have I Really Had A Past Life?
December 21st, 2009 5:03 amThe 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 widely believed that past lives can have an impact on your health and mental wellbeing during this life, it only stands to reason that one should make a point of learning about who you were in a past life. Furthermore, when one considers just how much knowledge you would have gained during past lives, it only makes sense that you be willing to integrate that knowledge into this life.
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:
* 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.
* If a particular historical event tends to stir up strong emotions. If for example you become extremely emotional when you read about a certain historical event, then that could also be an indication that you were somehow involved in that event during a past life.
* 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.
Those indicators which have been mentioned above are just a few of the possible indicators you may or may not experience. However, even if you do experience one or more of the above, you shouldn’t necessarily take it for granted that you’re remembering a past life. Instead, you should look for patterns and similarities between things which attract you for no apparent reason. Providing you follow this approach you may soon start to notice a pattern forming and when you do, you will be in a better position to put the pieces together.
Interestingly enough, hypnosis and self hypnosis make it possible for people to access their past lives. In fact you now have past life regression therapists who specialize solely in helping people to access their past lives. These therapists make use of ‘deep hypnotic remembering’ in order to recover memories which are locked in your subconscious.
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.
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.
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.
Remember, the important thing here is that you actually manage to remember something from a past life. Once you do start remembering then of course it becomes possible for you to move on in this life. It is only when the subconscious mind is suppressed, that numerous problems begin to surface. Providing you understand and accept what has happened in the past, you can move on in this life in a way you never before thought possible.
Those who are familiar with the theory of karma, will know that it is believed that when one has led a good live and done good things, then you will in turn receive good in this life and in future lives, unless of course you change into a bad person at some point. In that case, rather than being blessed with goodness, you can expect to be surrounded by unpleasant events until such time that your karma once again becomes balanced.
Strangely enough, many people still tend to get confused with regards to how they should interpret this. The bottom line is, just because you may have done some bad things in a past life, doesn’t necessarily mean that this live has to be one of suffering. To the contrary, each time you start a new life you are given the opportunity to do things the right way in order to receive good karma. For this reason if you have a bad memory and you realize that it’s from a past life, you can then free yourself from that memory and go ahead and have a good life now.
