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 often believed that a past life has an effect on your current health and well being, many people believe that it’s important to know yourself, and also who you were in your past lives. It may well be in your own best interest that you settle the demons which may have been left behind. Also, it could well be worth your while to gather up all the strengths and knowledge which you’ve gained during past lives, in order to be a stronger better person in this life and in future lives.

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.

* Do you have any irrational fears, phobias or allergies which simply cannot be connected to your childhood years? Remember both physical and psychological issues could be linked to past life experiences.

Of course, those things which have just been mentioned are by no means the only possible indicators. Likewise, just because you may have experienced one or more of the above indicators, that’s not to say that you are remembering a past life. Ideally, you should try to establish whether or not any pattern exists with regards to things which attract you for no apparent reason. By following this approach you may well discover certain similarities which in turn may help you to put the pieces together with regards to a past life.

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 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.

The all important issue here is that you actually remember something from a past life so that you can then move on. Remember, when the subconscious mind is suppressed, only then can these memories lead to further problems. By having the ability to understand and to accept what has happened in a past life, you’ll be able to experience this live from a different perspective.

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.
