Look To Your Past Lives To Learn Your Future

If we look closely at world religions, we see that many speak about life being a cycle. We go around and around, treading similar ground. There is comfort in the knowledge that not only will we be here again but that we have been here in the past. It just makes sense, which might explain why most people on the planet believe in reincarnation. Maybe you believe in past lives or maybe you have doubts. Either way, it is worth looking into and there are some easy tools you can use.

There are people who can help you if you are not immediately drawn to conclusions from all this writing. Trained past-life regression therapists are certified to help you experience past lives and then help you interpret what they mean for you in the present. Two groups, the International Association for Regression and Research Therapies or the International Association of Past Life Therapists offer certification for these professionals so that you can rest assured they know what they are doing. They also have listings of their members so you can find one close to where you live, or even online.

Take a close look at yourself. Start keeping a journal if you don't have one already. Write down everything that happens to you, even if it does not seem important at the time. Events might come up again later and gain more significance through repetition. Strong emotions are one thing to look for when you are reading your entries. They may suggest a link to the past or, when put together, create a clear picture of a past life.

If you want answers, like most of us do, you will be surprised to learn that a simple thing like a list of your likes and dislikes can help reveal the dues you carry. You can put anything important to you on the list, like feelings about your parents, your car, the town you live in, the neighbors cat. Think about yourself, your own personal talents and quirks. Do you laugh loudly? Are you an excellent dancer? Were you popular or unpopular? Do you even care about popularity? All these details can give us clues as to what dues we carry.

There are also your dreams. They have long been held to be significant as harbingers of the future, but they are also offer an excellent view of the past. It is all in how you look at them. Write them down in as much detail as you can remember. They contain powerful symbols. The meanings of these symbols can be pulled out over time so long as we write them all down.

We can help our dreams speak more clearly through the power of positive suggestion. By reminding ourselves, just before we go to sleep, that tonight we are going to explore our past lives in our dreams, we cue the subconscious to get busy. Then, while we dream, the fruits of that unconscious labor appear before our wondering eyes, ripe for the plucking. As in all things, practice makes perfect. Keep reminding yourself and then writing down your dreams and soon you will hold the key that will unlock the door to your past, present and future.

Meditation is like positive suggestion, only you are still awake. It takes a certain amount of discipline and self-reliance to practice deep meditation, but there is a simpler method for those of us whose schedules do not allow for hours of relaxed thought.

You can meditate during the day, while you are going about your chores. Maybe you are stuck in a traffic jam, or on the subway, or waiting for an appointment. Take a moment and remind yourself that you are trying to learn more about your own past and the many lives you have led. Your subconscious is very open to suggestion. Just keep reminding it (and yourself) that it is time to pay attention to the details. And then write those details down.


People who try regression usually find the experience helpful, whatever their original belief about reincarnation. So go ahead and try it! You might be surprised.
