Ancient people, especially the Japanese, Australian aborigines, Africans, modern Wiccans and many other New Age religions, believed the idea of reincarnation. This is about the thought that all people had past life and the person you are now and the behavior you have now has everything to do with that particular past life.

Health, mental wellbeing, and social interactions can be linked to past life experiences, accumulating through each past life. By finding out about who you were in a past life, you may be able to better understand your fears, weaknesses and strengths to make you a stronger and better person in your present life, as well as future lives.

How can you tell you have a past life? You may not be able to, but in many cases you will have disturbing dreams, or memories while you’re awake that do not belong to you. Many people who believe in reincarnation believe that we all have past lives (though if you do the math, it’s more probable that there are at least some new souls!) Other indications:

* Deeper interest and appeal to certain culture or behavior that has no interpretation or no explanation as to the present life. You may notice that you are a great fan of a specific tradition or arts maybe it is because of the past life that you were engaged into before. To get further explanation about these mysteries, know what other culture or arts you are interested in this present life. It may lead you to what you were in the past life.

* Incidents in history that arouse strong emotions or bring you to tears with no explanation could relate you to a certain time period in a past life. You may have been involved in the incident or known somebody from a past life that was and it is stirring up memories in the subconscious mind.

* 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.

You do not have to have all these indications to completely and confidently acknowledge that you are experiencing past life recollection. Actually, even just one single indicator is enough to say that you really do recall your past life. Search your inner self by looking at unfamiliar things that attract you most or odd patterns in your life that are unexplainable. These will help you put the pieces all together.

If you really want to uncover the mysteries of your past life there are different possible ways that you can do. Try the assistance of hypnotism. You can use self-hypnosis or you can ask someone expert in hypnotism to hypnotize you so you can explore your past life. There are more hypnotists that specializes in past life regression. This is a special form of hypnotism which applies deep hypnotic techniques to help people like you to remember and recall the past life.

If you decide to use self hypnosis to access your past life yourself, look for a technique that doubles as a deep relaxation method. Try to work with this technique for a while before using it for your regression.

In terms of safety there is nothing significant to worry about. What should happen is that you experience a past life vividly as if you were actually back in time. Although it may not be this intense you should still be able to experience ?shadows? and ?feelings? of a past life.

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.

Some people were confused of this idea. They thought that the negative past life made them deserving of bad present life. This is actually not true. Every new life is a chance to make your life better and it?s up to you if you will choose to live your life the good way.
