Why Can't I Remember My Past Life?

By Alec Pittman

Let's face it; the concept of reincarnation is by no means a new idea. In fact, the possibility of having had a past life is something which many people have believed in for thousands of years. The Japanese, the Chinese, the aborigines and many Africans all believe they have had past lives and that those lives can influence the life they're living now.

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.

* 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.

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.

Additionally, it is possible to gain an insight into past lives by means of hypnosis or self hypnosis if you prefer. In fact there are many past life regression therapists who specialize in this field and for that reason it may be in your own best interest to arrange for a meeting with such a therapist.

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.

Furthermore, you need to bear in mind that it's the 'remembering' which is the all important factor here. Once you start remembering, you'll be able to move on in this life and it is only when one suppresses ones subconscious with regards to these memories, that problems start to arise. Acceptance and understanding with regards to things which happened in a previous life can go a long way in helping you in this life

The theory of karma states that if one is good and performs acts of kindness, then you will have good karma. On the other hand, if you are a bad person or you change to become bad then you will simply have bad karma, in which case your life will be plagued by negative events and this will continue until such time that there's a balance between your good and bad karma.

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. - 31856

The Hidden Treasures of Chakra Energy

By Jonathan Benjem

Very few people acknowledge the presence of an internal energy reservoir in our bodies that is responsible for our physical and mental well-being. This lack of knowledge is more prevalent in the Western world, as the concept of spiritual energy was more prevalent and adhered to in the eastern countries, like India.

They call the phenomenon as the Chakra Energy. To a layman, it is the energy generated by the seven primary energy centers in the body. Interestingly, all these seven energy centers are situated in the upper half of the body, i.e., from head to the base of spine. These primary energy centers are:

* Base Chakra (RED) located at the coccyx (base of the spine).

* Spleen Chakra (ORANGE) situated just below the navel.

* Solar Plexus Chakra (YELLOW) located in the stomach area.

* Heart Chakra (GREEN) situated in the center of the chest.

* Throat Chakra (BLUE) located at the base of the throat.

* Third Eye Chakra (INDIGO) located in between the eyes.

* Crown Chakra (VIOLET) located on top of the head.

These Chakras are in constant state of movement, which produces the energy, known as Chakra Energy. For the normal physical and mental health of the body, the synergy between the movements of these seven charkas plays the all-important role.

If their movement is not in sync, the health physical or mental is bound to suffer.

So, whats there to know about Chakra Energy? The entire Chakra System of the body is based on the spiritual side of our existence. Its more a matter of feeling than sensing. You can say that Chakra System is a part of the sixth sense in your body. The energy produced by the Chakra System is responsible for blessing you with a healthy life or cursing you with an unhealthy one.

If the movement is in sync, the Chakras will produce sufficient energy to ensure physical and mental well being. However, if the movement is not in sync, the energy so produced will not be sufficient and itll invariably result in some body ailment.

Undoubtedly, Chakra Energy plays a decisive role in human lives, but is it possible to work around the Chakras and bring about a balance in their movements? Though Chakra movement is a natural phenomenon, yet you can direct your physical and spiritual energies towards attainment of Chakra balancing. Learning is an art and invariably, a slow process. But if your have determination and perseverance, its an achievable goal. The exercise is pretty simple. Firstly, just sit or lie down in the most comfortable posture with eyes closed. The next part is to relax and feel all the body parts from visible organs to the minutest cell within the body. Dont avoid the distractions, like myriad thoughts. With time, theyll disappear. Keep it going for about half-an-hour to any length of time for as many days as you can. Youll surely feel the difference.

Now, if thats so simple, why dont many people just give it a go and get rid of all the ailments from their lives? This is because our over-reliance on science to bring quick-fix changes in our body system. The scientific advancements have made humans too much dependent on technology. Resultantly, we have forgotten to live healthily naturally.

Fortunately, everything is not lost forever because the Chakra Energy is within, and you can correct the Chakra movements anytime you want to change your life for better. All it requires is sustained effort and a strong desire to make a healthy change in your life. If you appreciate and understand your body and its simple requirements, then balanced Chakra movements is not too difficult to achieve. Originally, our needs are not meant to go beyond what Mother Earth can naturally provide. However, the imbalance of Chakra movements is the price we have collectively paid for the scientific advancements. And Chakra balancing is the answer to all your health-related questions in the Twenty First Century. - 31856

Should You Consider An Abundance Course?

By Ami Livermore

Did you know you can manifest abundance in your life? Even though this may not mean you'll attract a lot of wealth (unless you want to), you can have happiness, loving friends and family around you, and more.

Each of us is different in terms of what we want and need, and the ability to manifest what we want is something we can all learn. An abundance course can show you just how to access your unconscious, in that until now, it has remained dormant.

At birth, you don't have the ability to speak, and as you grow, you learn how to speak and learn words to associate with things so that you can communicate with others. At the same time, you learn to walk and develop logical thinking skills, too. So you also need to learn about manifesting abundance.

However, the ability to manifest abundance is something a lot of people haven't learned when young -- and that means that that particular skill is dormant, unused, even though it's in existence. Experts have said that we only use 10% of our brains' capacity, so that makes sense.

An abundance course involves lessons designed to help you access those locked centers within your own mind and show you how to tap into your full potential. It's all about learning to unlock those neural pathways that were never developed when you were young.

Learning to manifest abundance as an adult is much like learning a new language. Initially it might seem a little confusing and the lessons might need a lot of focus and concentration, but once you grasp the basics, the rest becomes easy.

What's in a good abundance course? It should do more than just show you how to get things you want or need. It should also tell you why these things can work for you and where the abundance actually comes from.

A part of the learning process is developing an understanding in your own mind of why you deserve to manifest abundance. After all, if you have a deep-seated belief that you don't deserve good things in your life, then manifesting more of the things you want could become very difficult.

We do have the ability to manifest whatever we want, but it's very easy for us sabotage own efforts just because we've been trained to believe the opposite our whole lives.

Have you ever thought to yourself, "I can't afford that?" when you've been looking at something you really wanted? That very thought is what holds you back from manifesting the abundance you need to afford just that.

As Henry Ford said, "Whether you think you can or not, you're right."

He didn't need to take an abundance course to manifest anything he desired for his own life. He understood that his own thoughts had power and learning the right way to modify those negative thoughts could lead to an abundance of anything he desired.

There are lots of reasons it's beneficial to enroll in an abundance course, but perhaps the biggest one is that you can truly have the power to manifest anything you want. - 31856

Deep Breathing Exercises to Help Meditate

By Christopher Cohen

Respiring deep is an easy yet very effective exercise. It is easy to learn and perform, needs zero gear, and promotes both physical and psychological well being. The way in which we breathe can change the way we feel. It helps release our stress, alters our mood, and gets our body to function smoother. The majority of the time, we accidentally breath shallowly. We do more of it when we are stressed and anxious. Shallow breaths don't permit sufficient oxygen to reach our organs, putting more force on them and stressing out the body even more. Deep breathing technique can beat this vicious circle.

What To Do First

To start with, sit up straight. Make sure that you aren't slouching or bending as it compresses the organs within your body, especially your diaphragm and interferes with the exercise. Close your eyes and try maintaining a calm mood. Forget all your routines worries and stresses. Try to focus on your breathing process. You should be able to feel the air entering and leaving your body. Gradually try and breathe through your nostrils and breathe in as deep as possible. You should be able to feel your abdomen rise and fall as the air goes in and out of your body. In case, it is your chest you are feeling going up and down, you should know that you are breathing shallow. The breathed air is returning from your chest without entering your stomach. Try and breathe through your nose Into the abdomen. Hold the air inside you for a second or two. Exhale slowly thru your mouth, focussing on the feel of slow, deep breaths.

Why It Works on the Body

To grasp how breathing has effects on our health, let us take a fast look at the ins and outs of respiring. Our diaphragm pumps air to our belly, ribcage, and back. It expands our chest cavity such that the air pressure within the body is smaller than outside. As a result, the air from outside rushes into the lungs. This pushes the blood from our heart to various organs and tissues and helps promote blood circulation.

Correct breathing is also needed to maintain an optimum balance of oxygen and carbon-dioxide in our body. We need oxygen to keep our organs function actively, while we need carbon dioxide to calm us down. Carbon dioxide works like a natural tranquilizer. Shallow, frequent breaths use too much carbon dioxide from our body making us feel slow and tired. Slow and deep breaths ensure we maintain the proper balance of oxygen and CO2 in our body.

Deep respiring is a free stress control technique which can be performed anytime and anywhere. And it is highly easy : Breathe in and breathe out, and that is it. Do set apart few minutes a day to treat your body to a plush oxygen supply and the resulting relaxation. . - 31856

Using The Laws Of Attraction For A Better Life

By Heather Berry

Why is it that some people can achieve astounding personal and professional success at a young age? Why is it that other people seem to spend their lives languishing on the sidelines, watching their existence distilled into a series of unmet deadlines and unfulfilled dreams? It is because the first person learned the importance of the laws of attraction while the second person scoffed at the ideas that the laws of attraction espouse. If you want to have a happy and successful life, keep your mind open to the laws of attraction.

Many people feel the success is an ephemeral quality that cannot be grasped, but only bestowed. These people, regardless of their other qualifications, will probably never be successful. This is because success is not only something that you can grasp, but something that you must grasp if you ever truly want it. The best way to grab success and make it your own is through using the laws of attraction.

Your self-perception is created through all the experiences you have gathered in your lifetime. Unfortunately, for most of us, these experiences have taught us that we are not qualified enough or smart enough or lucky enough to achieve our goals. In some cases, a single bad experience as far back as our school days can color our self-perception for the rest of our lives.

This aura influences others' perception of you and they will then act accordingly. In general, if someone perceives you be smart and successful they will give you the tools and opportunities to capitalize on your strengths, thereby multiplying them. But don't wait for someone else to notice your worth, you need to create your own worth from the bottom up.

Go through an inventory of your physical, mental, and spiritual characteristics and try to describe each and every one of them in a positive light. Don't gloss over anything and don't forget anything either. Even a single negative self-perception lingering on your psyche can ruin the effects of the laws of attraction. Take all the time you need, days, weeks, months, or even years to convince yourself that you are a great person who deserves wonderful things.

When you have crafted your self-perception in an entirely positive light, it is now time to put the law of attraction to work for you. Approach every new situation with a positive attitude. By now you should know that you are a talented and likeable human being. Project that positive energy outward. If you are confident about your abilities then the people around you will also come to trust you.

Once all of your negative qualities are rephrased so that they can be in the positive quality column it is time to move onto the next step of the laws of attraction. Take your newfound positive self-image and project it outward. Act as though you are successful and confident. Surprisingly, if you truly believe all those positive traits you found out about yourself, the people around you will also view you in a positive light.

After all this hard work laying the foundation, the laws of attraction are surprisingly simple. If you view yourself as a good, hardworking person, other people will also view you in that light. If you feel you are the best qualified for a job, then your potential employer may also think that way. Harness the power of positive thinking to change the way others see you. The laws of attraction are your stepping stone to the path of success. - 31856

Understanding Telepathic Communication

By Alex J Gould

We only use ten percent of the brain to function and survive throughout life. A huge part of our brains remains unused.

What most of us aren't aware of is that we're all born with the innate ability to communicate with each other without having to speak a word out loud or even move a muscle physically.

We are taught from birth to not pursue our natural ability to send and receive telepathic messages.It would more than likely be considered "weird" or a sign of a mental problem if we did recognize this ability.

And so the ability fades into the background to surface on those odd occasions when the telephone rings and you just instantly know who's on the other end.

Are we being warned about events that are soon to happen by a superior being or are we receiving these signals from others when they are thinking about us?

We connect subconsciously with others all the time. Our minds have the capacity to learn to do this on a regular basis anytime we feel a desire to. We can develop this natural ability to use at will.

Human telepathy is a natural inherent ability within most human beings that is usually never harnessed or guided into being one of the senses we use consciously in our daily lives. This doesn't mean we don't use it. It simply means the majority of people don't know how to focus their minds in such a way to make communication possible.

According to scientists our thoughts have a certain frequency, somewhat like radio frequencies. This frequency can be measured. Directing these thoughts to a targeted area is the key to using your mind as a means of communication.

Here are some ways to help improve your telepathic abilities.

*Trance State - Your mind is at its most receptive when you allow yourself to drop into a trance-like state. Most humans are capable of inducing an almost hypnotic trance where the body is relaxed and your mind is open.

If you're working on your telepathic ability alone then spend some time learning how to bring yourself into a trance state.

*Get focused - Select a nice quiet dark room. Get yourself relaxed and think happy thoughts about the person you want to hear from. Form the message you want this person to receive, imagine they are receiving it as you picture them in your mind. Let him or her know you want to be contacted. Stay confident that this person will respond with a message.

*Belief - You need to believe that the other person is receiving your message. Keep an open minded attitude as you learn to expand your telepathic focus.

*Stop the exercise - Snap yourself out of your dreamy state and go about your daily routine. This is an important part of the whole process.

When you let go of the positive impressions the person you were trying to contact should feel that any thoughts about you will be missing and the urge to contact you to re-establish that communication should be strong. Don't be surprised if the person you were reaching out to calls you soon.

This is a great way to become focused on developing and using telepathy to communicate. You can use two people to practice and enhance your abilities.

How to learn more by using two people

*Send and Receive - One of you will send and the other one will receive. Discuss which one will be which. Assuming you are the sender, here is how it works.

Your friend, the receiver will need to write down anything that flows into his or her mind. Get a note pad and a pen ready and go over the necessity of writing it all down with your friend. Assure him or her that if it is thought it is not made up, this will help make sure it is all wrote down.

*See it - Use some simple images to focus on and send to your receiver. Things like a yellow sun, grapes, or a triangle. It will be easy for you to concentrate on these simple things and project them to your receiver.

*Transmitting Your Message - Close your eyes and focus on establishing a communication thought-tube between you and the receiver. Picture it clearly in your mind's-eye as connecting the two of you.

Then place the object you want the receiver to see inside your mental communication tube and send it directly to him. Create your image as clearly as you can. If you choose to focus on a red, shiny apple, then make sure you follow your apple all the way to the end of the thought-tube.

Visualizing is a very effective way to send messages telepathicly.

*End message - Stop sending when you have seen the object reach the receiver. Stop thinking about it, this is an important step as it lets the receiver see the image appear. He or she will also have time to write it all down

*Receive - The receiver needs to approach this with an open mind and want to receive messages. It all needs to be written down as a record to refer to later. It is important to relax and let the message flow in.

All humans will experience flashes and images in their mind's-eye when their thoughts are still. Your receiver will at first believe he's making things up, but it's important to still record any impressions.

*The verdict - When you are done with the training exercise, check and see if the images you sent were well received. Even someone with undeveloped powers will receive some images from the sender. Do not expect all of them to come through clearly at first. It will take some practice to get better at it.

Remember, practice makes perfect! - 31856

Should You Consider An Abundance Course?

By Ami Livermore

Every human on the planet has the ability to manifest abundance in their own lives. This doesn't necessarily mean you'll attract enormous amounts of money, unless this is what you want. You might prefer to manifest an abundance of happiness, or even surround yourself with loving friends and family.

Each of us is different in terms of what we want and need, and the ability to manifest what we want is something we can all learn. An abundance course can show you just how to access your unconscious, in that until now, it has remained dormant.

Do we have to learn about manifesting abundance? As an infant, you don't have the ability to speak. You learn language and words, and associate them with things that you can communicate. Then, you learn how to walk and develop logical thinking as you grow.

However, most people don't know how to manifest abundance in their lives, and don't learn while they are children. That means that they have that ability, but they don't know how to access it, because it's inaccessible and in a part of the mind that is not used. Most experts believe, after all, that we only use 10% of our brain capacity.

An abundance course involves lessons designed to help you access those locked centers within your own mind and show you how to tap into your full potential. It's all about learning to unlock those neural pathways that were never developed when you were young.

He understood abundance at its essence, and didn't need to take an abundance course to learn to get anything he wanted for himself. He knew that his own thoughts had power and that vanquishing negative thoughts could give him the abundance he wanted.

There are many benefits to enrolling in an abundance course, but perhaps the biggest advantage you'll give yourself is the power to manifest into your life anything you desire. - 31856
