The idea of reincarnation � that you had a past life, or several – is an ancient one, and one that is found on every corner of the earth: Japanese, Australian aborigines, Africans, modern Wiccans and many other New Age religions, all believe that you have past lives, and that your past lives influence who and what you are today.

Your health, your mental wellbeing, and your social interactions are impacted by each past life. For this reason, it is often a good idea to �know thyself� – to meet who you were in a past life, settle the demons that may be left over, and to integrate all the strengths you’ve accumulated over time so that you may be a stronger person now and in future lives.

When you have disturbing dreams that seem like real life, but don’t fit into any experiences you have ever had, it could be from a buried subconscious memory of one of your past lives. People who think reincarnation is possible also believe that everybody is a reincarnated soul, but that some are older souls, while some are newer souls that are just recycled into new bodies. Other signs of possible reincarnation dreams:

* An attraction to a different culture or region but you have no idea why you feel compelled to it, since it has no bearing on your present life. If you love a certain kind of period art, or food, yet can’t understand the basis for the attraction, it is possible that there is a link from one of your past lives. Some people may try to learn more about the art to see if a distinct time period and region is related, in order to analyze why they feel it is part of their life, yet there is no basis for it.

* Abnormally strong emotions about some incident in history � if, for instance, you tear up when you look at Washington Crossing the Delaware but not at any other revolutionary art, you may have been involved in that incident in a past life.

* Certain physical or psychological issues and problems that you cannot explain or give logical reasons for its existence may be linked to what your past life was.

This is by no means an exhaustive list, and just the fact that you have one of these indicators does not mean you are remembering a past life. Look for patterns in your life, ranges of things that attract you for no good reason, and you may start to home in on similarities that will help you piece together an idea of what your past life or lives may have been.

It is possible to access your past life or lives with self-hypnosis or by being hypnotized by someone else. There are specialists past life regression therapists who are well worth a visit to. A past life regression is a form of deep hypnotic remembering that can get to those memories of past lives that subconsciously are there.

You may want to consider using the hypnotic techniques that has a relaxation effect, once you made your decision about hypnotism. Allow your self to be comfortable and relaxed for a while before you proceed to past life regression.

Self hypnosis and past life regression is relatively safe because they are much like a dream or nightmare that you wake up from and have some feelings about, but no other consequences. Since you will not recall the past life experiences as vividly as present life, there is not much to worry about. Feelings from a past life can help you understand how you think and act on things today.

As you begin to recall the past life memories, you will be able to distinguish the good ones from the bad ones through the after-results. Good memories usually trigger good feelings while bad memories irritate your feelings causing you to feel bad. When you wake up, you will notice that it feels like you just had a bad dream. This means that you had a bad life in the past. Do not think that recalling unpleasant memories are bad for you; this is actually your key to know your past life.

Remembering past life experiences is an important part of moving on with your present life. Once you have remembered, your subconscious mind is no longer suppressing these feelings and you can understand and accept what happened in the past lives to give you a more positive outlook in your present life.

In relation to this, the theory of Karma says that those people who lived their past lives in such a good and kind way and have done acts of kindness in the past, they will surely have good Karma in this present life as long as they remained kind and good. But this Karma may possibly change if you turned yourself into a bad person. Instead of good karma, bad karma will definitely follow you in this present life even if you were kind and good in the past.

However, there is often confusion by people over this interpretation. We are not destined to be bad or deserve to suffer because of a past life. With each new life we are literally born anew and it is our own choice to do the things you do. Once you realize that a certain memory is from a previous life, and you are not a �bad� person now, then you can go on to have a �good� life in the present.
