Why Can’t I Remember My Past Life?
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.
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:
* 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.
* 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.
* Fears, phobias and allergies can also sometimes be a good indicator with regards to past life experiences, particularly if they cannot be connected to your childhood years.
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.
Hypnosis and self hypnosis are both means through which people can access their past life or lives. In fact there are people who specialize in helping others to gain access to memories locked in their subconscious minds. These past life regression therapists make use of what is known as “deep hypnotic remembering” in order to make it possible to remember past life experiences.
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.
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.
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.
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.
