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 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.
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:
* An intense attraction towards a specific culture with which you've had no exposure in this life, and for the most part one which makes little sense to you. If for example you feel deeply attracted to the art or history of a certain era, then you may have had a past life experience regarding that particular era. Quite often if you do a little research and it so happens that the art you're attracted to stems from a relatively short time period, then there's a strong possibility that there's something there.
* Have you ever felt yourself becoming unusually emotional with regards to an event which took place at some point in history? If for example you become very emotional when you read about a certain event, then there is of course a possibility that you were involved in some way or another.
* 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.
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 on the other hand you choose to use self hypnosis rather than a past life regression therapist, you should aim to use a technique which doubles up as a method of deep relaxation. Furthermore, before using the technique for regression, you should first spend some time working with it.
From a safety point of view there is nothing really to worry about. Instead the most that you will experience is an extremely vivid recollection of a past life. While it may not always be very intense, you should still however be able to experience different feelings and even shadows of a past life.
Of course, just as good memories usually pave the way for good feelings, bad memories can pave the way for bad feelings. In that case you will simply wake up to an uneasy feeling similar to what one experiences after having had a nightmare. Of course you may not even experience any bad memories at all.
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.
Unfortunately many people tend to get confused with regards to this interpretation. Contrary to what some believe, we don't have to be bad or suffer simply because of a past life. Instead, each time you are born you are presented with a new opportunity to do things the right way. As a result, once you accept the fact that a certain memory may indeed be from a past life, and that you're not necessarily a bad person in this life, then you can move on and have as good a life has anyone else.
