Do You Understand The Term 'Past Regression'?

By John Paul Harding

As reincarnation gains ever more acceptance in our society, you may have been hearing about something called past life regression. This is exactly what the name implies; and it is something that a growing number of people are interested in. When we know more about our past lives, it gives us insight into our lives in the here and now.

One of the methods often used is to keep a journal of those thoughts and emotions which come to you, no matter how small that do not fit with the experiences you have had in your current lifetime. Even the smallest things may be a helpful clue to figuring out more about your past lives. For instance, phobias or an attraction to a certain place you may not ever have been. A journal is a good way to spot patterns which may point to a past life.

Your past lives journal can begin with a list of things which you like and those which you do not. These could include particular cuisines, cultures and places that you feel some sort of a bond with. Really, any details about what makes you the person you are is relevant and should be written down here. Talents, personality traits; anything which can help you make sense of your past lives and your present life belongs here and can help you to spot patterns indicative of a past life.

Your dreams may also contain some clues to your past lives - be sure to take notes on anything from your dreams which seem to belong to a previous life. However, you should keep in mind that much of the content of your dreams will come from the present.

Or you could try past life regression.

This usually involves going to a trained past life regression therapist. These professionals are experienced in hypnotherapy and guiding you through a past life experience as well as helping you to make sense of the experience afterwards. Self hypnosis may also be able to help you have this experience.

Meditation is another method of finding out more about past lives.

Some people have a hard time achieving a past life regression through meditation at first, since we are often skeptical about these kinds of experiences. When you meditate, you have to learn to trust yourself.

When you meditate, you might feel as if you are daydreaming, but some of the information which comes through as you calm your mind may be important. Be sure to write down everything which comes to you in your journal so you can compare it against the larger picture you are assembling there.

Those who have some difficulty meditating often find aids including visual focal points, incense or relaxing music or sounds to be helpful. There are guided meditation tapes you can try as well as recordings of relaxing natural soundscapes.

Then there are binaural beats.

These are specially designed audio recordings which contain specific frequencies which can help you reach a deep meditative state quickly. While you meditate, choose a quiet place where you will not be disturbed and that you can sit or lie down comfortably. As you begin, make a conscious effort to relax your body and maintain a positive mindset.

You have to completely relax both body and mind. If everyday worries intrude on your meditation, acknowledge these thoughts and move past them. You may not succeed the first time you meditate, but you will soon get the hang of it and you can start to seek answers to the questions you have.

Past life regression can even help you to cope with problems in your present life as well as give you information about the past. Some even learn that they have known the people they know now in a past life.

A large number of the world's religious traditions include reincarnation among their beliefs, particularly the Karmic religions of South Asia. Jains, Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists all believe that your actions in every lifetime influence the circumstances you will be born into the next time around. What this teaches us is that having an understanding of your past lives can be the key to living better right now.

The most important thing is to come to this experience with an open mind. You have to be able to accept information and be willing to learn from your past in order to improve the way you live now.

Experts say that re-experiencing some of the events of a past life can be a powerful tool for overcoming mental blocks and giving you a better outlook towards your life and the world around you.

When you can deal with the problems of your past, you may be able to make positive changes by knowing where you have gone wrong in past lives and make better decisions in the present as a result. A regression can show you the way towards living a better life with a greater degree of kindness to yourself and others.

You might even find that you have talents or abilities which you were not even aware of. If you see yourself in a past life as an expert pianist, for instance, you will most likely find that if you take up the instrument you will be an accomplished player quickly. Discovering these latent abilities can add to your quality of life immensely.

As long as you have an open mind and are ready to learn from your past lives, there are many benefits which past life regression may hold for you. - 31856
