Some religions make the idea of reincarnation central to their belief system. Whether or not that applies to you, being open to the possibility that you have been on this earth more than once will increase the chance of a successful session.
2. Get a good helper
Often our past lives bring up emotional responses. You need to make sure that the person you are performing the journey with - the person guiding you through your past - is capable of helping you if emotions come to the surface. If you are using a guided MP3 then make sure that you are near someone who can help if need be.
3. Realize that your memory is fallible
If you're like most people, you probably don't remember what you were doing this time last month or last year. Consider that if a memory as recent as a few months can be hazy - and that memory is from this life - then one from a previous life can be even hazier. This means that you may need several practice sessions before you start to get results.
4. It's not television!
Don't expect crystal clear pictures of your past life. Apart from anything else, you'd probably be locked up if this was the case. Take the time to get a sense of what is happening. Chances are that your past life session will guide you through this. You'll likely be asked what (if anything) you're wearing on your feet, what smells you are experiencing, that kind of thing. It's a good session if you can get the essence of these feelings. It's very unlikely that you'll see yourself in full glowing Technicolor with Dolby sound!
5. Spirit guides can help
Depending on the method you're using, there's a likelihood that you will have a spirit guide to help you through the experience. They can offer helpful insights and literally guide you through the experience. A good regression will help to bring out your spirit guide. If you've already met your guide in another experience then this part will come fairly easily. If you haven't, take the time to get to know your guide. They're often called "angels" and many people believe they help us in all aspects of our day to day lives.
6. Apply the experience
Quite often a past life regression will be related to a current problem you are experiencing. This is more likely than you may think. After all, we're talking about one or more likely many past lives. You'd have to have lived like a hermit in every single one of these for there to be nothing that was relevant to whatever it is you are currently experiencing. Apply what you learn in your past life journey to whatever is currently happening in your current life.
Whether you believe in reincarnation or not, you must admit you couldn't help looking if someone showed you a couple of images or a short film about different moments your past lives. I am sure you would also be tempted to see your future, at least get a glimpse of what interests you most in this life.
Although some religions have the idea of reincarnation in the center of their belief system, people were rather skeptical about it for many years. However, since psychiatrists started using past life regression as therapy, we have come to understand the link between certain experiences we had in the past and the present moment. Therapists try solving some of their patients' emotional problems by 'sending' them back into the past, to the moment or period that constitutes the starting point or cause of present-day torment. There is also the possibility that the origin of a current problem be found in some 'future life'. Anyway, all these past, future or parallel lifetimes have one purpose only: to make you realize your true nature.
There are two ways in which you can access your past lives. One is involuntary and may happen anytime (recurrent dreams, feelings of 'deja vue', memories of certain places we have never been to, of people we have not met, of experiences that we cannot claim to have had and yet seem so real as if we had lived them). The other is through hypnosis and it implies the participation of a specialist in hypnotherapy who conducts the session. The session begins with a relaxation exercise by means of which the subject is prepared for the episode of past life regression that follows.
An induction technique combined with some instructions is used. The subconscious mind of the subject will slowly take the therapist to the source of the problem. When the patient starts communicating his or her feelings and emotions, describing the images that he or she sees, sometimes uttering obsessive words, the difficult part begins. The therapist must put the pieces of information together and interpret them so that they make sense. It takes time and a lot of practice for one to reach that level of understanding.
As form of therapy, past life regression is considered to be very effective for a wide range of emotional problems, especially in the field of human relationships. By working with traumatic memories from past lives, therapists sometimes discover the source of both an emotional and physical problem. Some other times, they even detect a belief in the patient's subconscious mind which limits his or her success in life. Many phobic reactions that could not be explained by any present life experience come to light after a session (or several sessions) of past life regression.
There are two types of trauma that past life therapy focuses on: complex traumas that take much time to resolve, such as chronic illnesses that someone has from a previous live, and simple accidental ones that are not connected to an emotional conflict or a karmic script. Whichever the trauma, past life regression therapy seems to be quite effective and many therapists who have specialized in this field in the last decade claim it is one of the most interesting approaches to human soul.
