Is it true that when he touches the dream

with his pink fingers our eyes,

from the jail that inhabits the spirit flees

in a hurried flight?

It will be true that, host of mists,

From the night breeze to the faint breath,

winged goes up to the empty region

to meet others?

And there naked in the human form,

there the broken earthly bonds,

brief hours inhabits the idea

the silent world?

Y r ey cries and hates and loves

and keep a trace of pain and joy,

similar to the one he leaves when he crosses

Heaven a meteor?

I don't know if that world of visions

Live outside or go inside us.

But I know that I know many people

whom I don't know . ”

- Gustavo Adolfo Becquer-

Nothing better than this wonderful Bécquer poem to begin a brief dissertation on Past Lives .

Emulating the great poet ... Is it true that we have all lived another life, that we know so many things almost like the wise, and that we are walking paths already walked? Is it true that we have met before, and that our reunion is not accidental in any case?

What can we do to find out, or more exactly, to remember it?

Next, a series of practical exercises that will help us explore the subconscious, looking for the memory of our forgotten past, but not lost.

1. Awakening Memories

The same thing has ever happened to us all. An image evokes an unexpected memory, a sound, a melody, the aroma of a flower or a meal that awakens our emotions in a way that we cannot relate to the experience accumulated in this life.

Why has that song made me so sad? I've tried this dish before ... but when? I do not know.

As they say, each person is a different world, and reacts differently to the same stimuli. It is natural, because all of us are also different. But ... what is the reason that drives us to react in one way or another? The answer is in the past . And not in a past we can remember, but in a time before existence. As incredible as it sounds, such is the reality that moves our threads.

The luck is that, as we unconsciously associate certain stimuli with memories of this life, we can trigger emotions that correspond to past lives and that will help us identify them . That is, learning to locate and examine certain unexplained stimuli will help us discover who we were in another life.

For example, sometimes, we have an enormous interest in visiting a foreign country, and when we get there, we feel as if we are returning home. The emotions that awaken in us places that we have never known before, are a good clue that perhaps we have lived there in another era. When we cannot travel in person, documentaries, movies, music or books, it can be used to immerse ourselves in other worlds and in other cultures that enliven memories.

I encourage you to study in depth everything you find about the countries that are of your interest. Not only language, but also history, geography and culture. Examine old photographs. Perhaps you discover indications that one day you lived there.

2. The Laws of Reincarnation

And why study past lives ? Just for pure entertainment? Naturally, each person's motivations will be different. But in reality this study is still a search for knowledge. An answer to the elementary questions about existence.

Why is life like that? Why am I like that?

Through the study of past lives, we can get ideas on how our lives work, how to get the best out of our abilities, how to overcome the obstacles we face and how to face our fears and our mistakes.

To cope with this whole process, it is important to understand the Reincarnation Laws well. Do you know what those laws are?

Following Robert Smith, I will classify them in two levels for their best understanding:

- The fundamental P remits that describe the reincarnation process. They can be summed up simply by saying that eternal life has a purpose, and is subject to an order . We, as human beings, have experienced life many times, and will continue to do so. That is, we are not only physical or material beings. Our true self is spiritual and goes through many experiences that help you evolve . As free souls, we also have free will, and this is essential in the theory of reincarnation, because we can affirm that the purpose of all our lives is to develop our full potential by learning to get the best out of what we choose . The famous karma is simply the operation of the law of cause and effect . That is, the process of making choices and then experiencing their results . Eye, karma is not a punishment; It is a universal law that tells us that everything we do, think or decide, is a cause that will produce an effect.

- The specific eyes that influence the concrete experiences that we have in different lives. They are the following:

  • Law of Continuation: Personality traits, aptitudes, hobbies and skills usually move from one life to another until a situation arises in which we choose to change those elements.

  • Law of Consequences: We experience the consequences of what we choose. Constructive choices have positive consequences and destructive choices have negative consequences that teach us not to make that mistake again.

  • Compensation Law: in order to balance personality traits, we experience opposite extremes such as masculinity and femininity, in different lives.

3. The Dream. That powerful tool that helps us understand

We already know that the conscious mind is a very important tool when it comes to gathering and analyzing clues about past lives . But we must remember that the authentic storehouse of memories of previous incarnations is in the subconscious mind.

Therefore, what should we do to get that information to the surface?

Very easy. Let's use the imagination, that we have it for that, and let's get ready to dream about the past. Or put another way, let's build a Dream .

Although it is not about daydreaming without any direction.

For the dream to be useful to us, we must imagine following guidelines that we will dictate in the coming years.

In this case it is not about hypnosis . It does not imply subjecting our mind to an external influence, nor the loss of the ability to think independently. Hypnosis is a tool that also allows us to return to past lives quickly and directly with the help of a professional. This technique will be the result of analysis in a future article. But today we are going to study some simple exercises that anyone can do at home. They are easy, fun and you can get great results with them.

Who doesn't like daydreaming?

But we must be able to control our thinking, and end the fantasy when we decide.

Before building the Dream, the R elajación comes. You have to relax your mind first. Let's give the conscious mind a rest, and let the subconscious take over. What we will do is create a new reality, based on the large amount of information that our subconscious contains . Let us leave aside the critical and analytical functions of our brain, and let the images hidden within us freely resurface.

It is also important to relax the body. Comfort and tranquility are essential conditions to pursue our goal. Let's try to feel as comfortable as possible.

Now comes the fun. Imagine yourself in a dream setting . Do not force the mind, do not build it with the conscious mind . Let it be the subconscious who draws the details and when you wake up, write them down in a notebook. Record everything you remember. Not only the images. Also the sensations, the sounds, the smells, the tactile sensations. Try to immerse yourself completely in your fantasy world.

It is important to adopt the perspective of the protagonist . That is, it is not about imagining a character in a more or less elaborate Dream, but thinking about yourselves as part of that imaginary environment. Your eyes see, your hands touch, your feet walk through that distant land that is within you. You can interact with other characters, but you have to be there. Living and experiencing Extend each of the Dreams as much as you can. Ideally, let the reverie develop at its own pace and end in a natural way. And then to write it all down. Repeat the exercise several consecutive days, and then begin to investigate a series of Clues that help us complete it in the future.

4. You and your Environment

One of the ways to know your past lives is to look at what is around you. Our home, for example, reflects many things about us that we often don't perceive. In our home we unconsciously surround ourselves with those things we feel comfortable with. And not only our home, but also our personal belongings, like clothes and jewelry, reveal many things about our past lives. The style of home that we like, the furniture and accessories that we buy, (or that we would like to buy) and even the drawings and designs that we like can give us clues regarding the influences from past lives. Discover if you are struck by a particular architectural style, decorative objects related to an era or country, the type of paintings you would like to buy if you could do it. It is best to imagine what your perfect home would be if you had all the money in the world to spend. And then ask you ... why? Search the Internet at what time and style your favorite trends belong.

5. Travel around the world

Now we will make an imaginary trip around the world taking note of the reactions and impressions about the different places and the people who live there. Remember that to call past lives is fundamentally to know what you are able to perceive, see and remember about a past reality .

Naturally, these perceptions may come to fit with each other based on what you have seen or heard in this life. They may be distorted, or even not exact or that in this life you have traveled or studied certain countries and the origin of the emotions is very clear. But here we are looking for unexplained stimuli, and the essential question remains: Why do I feel this way when I think about this country, if I don't know it at all?

No need to travel mentally to all parts of the world. Choose the countries that attract you the most for whatever reason, which in itself is already an excellent clue. And others that you don't know about anything. Analyze your way of reacting to each specific country. Make a list and write neatly as many impressions as they come to mind in relation to each country. It's about writing down everything you can think of when thinking about a part of the world. You will soon discover that in some countries you can write down many more things than others.

For example you can write about climate, inhabitants, character, landscape, animal and plant life, culture, social life, art, music, historical times, food, folklore ...

It will be extremely useful to separate your positive and negative impressions from each country. Also specify the countries that are indifferent to you .

We try to find out where in the world you feel most identified, and why.

6. Analyzing your emotional responses

People react very differently on an emotional level to the circumstances that are presented to us.

Why do we react so differently to the same stimuli?

Some people love dogs, others fear them, or hate them. Some people are afraid of heights, others are passionate about flying, some people lack empathy, others get excited about anything and identify with any kind of suffering from others. There is a certain cause behind those differences . Something related to the past experiences of the person, which makes him react in one way and not another.

Of course, it is also possible that these experiences modeling reactions have taken place in the current life of the individual. For example, who suffered a small bite, distrust the dogs all the time. lifetime.

But, although there are valid explanations for specific cases, others have no explanation and those are the ones that interest us. For example, if a person who has never seen the sea, feels terrified The first time you step on a beach. It is very likely that something unpleasant happened in a past life related to water or drowning .

It is best to make a direct and honest analysis of oneself looking for answers to certain questions that will help us to know each other better. Let's think about how we feel when we think of:

  • Being in the water.

  • Being in high places.

  • Be in enclosed spaces.

  • Be in very open spaces.

  • Be alone outdoors.

  • Have been abandoned.

  • The crowds.

  • Loneliness.

  • The very loud sounds.

  • The silence.

  • The books and the reading.

  • People of certain nationalities or ethnic groups.

  • People with certain foreign or regional accents.

  • People who profess certain religions.

  • People with certain physical traits.

  • People with a certain age.

  • People with certain political ideas.

  • The authorities.

  • People who get ahead.

  • People who fall behind.

  • Rodents

  • Snakes

  • Insects

  • Arachnids

  • Other animals.

  • Sunlight.

  • Darkness.

  • Hot.

  • Cold.

  • Humid climates.

  • Dry climates.

  • Wind.

  • Ray.

  • Fire.

  • Death.

  • Hungry.

  • Diseases.

  • Pregnancies and births.

  • Hospitals

  • Travel by airplane.

  • Travel at high speed.

  • Bridges

  • Tunnels

  • Stairs.

  • Weapons.

These questions constitute only a few examples. Each student can make their own list and eye, it is not about judging anyone by their answers, but to help us know our interior looking for clues about reactions of pleasure or dislike that have no apparent relationship with our experience in this life. That will help awaken in us certain forgotten memories.

I advise to write down all the comments that you can think of next to each answer.

They will help you a lot for what we will do next.

7. Hereditary and environmental influences

Now we are going to analyze the role that biological inheritance and the environment play in our lives. For this we will examine the relationship between these influences and those that come from our previous incarnations. Until now, our work has been based on the assumption that our interests and characteristics are largely modeled by our previous lives.

But modern genetics shows that we inherit from our genes not only our physical characteristics, but also many of our psychological traits. We also know that the experiences of our early childhood, our family environment and practically everything that happens around us, influence our way of thinking and our way of reacting to the circumstances of this life.

If this is true, how can it be affirmed that it is the influences of past lives and not genetics or the environment that make us what we are?

Obviously, the unquestionable influence of genetics and the environment cannot be denied. But it turns out that they are not the only agents that make us up. We must also take into account what we choose, because both the biological inheritance and the environment interact with karma, and are factors for which we are attracted in order to face the results of the choices we have made in the past. In other words, if the essence of our being, what we call soul, is not physical, if it existed before we were born in our current carnal body, and will continue to exist after our death, we can deduce that every time we choose, we give It forms our soul and we build our individual identity and that essence remains and experiences not one, but infinity of lives, embodied in different bodies, reaching in each life a greater degree of evolution. When our non-physical essence is attracted to a physical form, it draws into itself the biological inheritance and the environment that best fit its internal identity.

8. Building theories about past lives through clues of current life

We now know that the choices we have made in the past have contributed to some extent to the development of our soul and have made it necessary for us to have to learn a series of specific lessons in this life. The biological inheritance and the environment in which the individual is born have the function of giving him the opportunity to learn those lessons. That is, at birth all individuals are attracted to the situation that best meets the needs of our soul with a view to its further development. Incredible true?

Anyway, remember that we are free to choose at all times . We can freely use a constructive influence that we think comes from our past, or simply ignore it. Overcome a negative influence or not.

In turn, our current decisions will lead us along different paths, many of them unsuspected. Even the bad thing that happens to us in this life is a consequence of some lesson we need to learn.

For example, A valuable lesson would be to know what is the best way to overcome certain obstacles and that is why in the past we may have chosen to go through certain negative aspects that will help us evolve . In any case, let us always try to focus on the positive so that the Law of Attraction does not bring more misfortunes to our experience, and let us think that what happens to us has its why. In our hand is to overcome all the negative thanks to free will. The important thing is not to get carried away by despair, and look for the best way forward. Let us never forget that one door leads to another door, and so on. Let's fight not to get stuck and never lose hope .

Now, how is it possible to relate our previous incarnations to the situations of current life?

Very easy Let's use the imagination once more and paint a series of conjectures.

We have already said that if you had a special interest in a certain part of the world, you may have lived there in a past life. That is one of the clues that are worth exploring. But there are more. You may have special skills for music or painting from your birth, because at another time you dedicated your life to art. You may have an inexhaustible thirst for knowledge, because in another life that knowledge was forbidden because of your sex or social condition. Perhaps you are very homely and rooted people to your land, because in another life you were nomads, always from one place to another, or vice versa, you felt that indefinable call from the distant lands and you moved constantly because in the past you were explorers, or because you could never travel enough. Are you worried about money and material? Maybe you suffered shortcomings in the past. Examine your tastes, your fears and your desires. You can discover amazing things about yourself.

9. Discovering clues about past lives through dreams

Dreams come to us to tell us something. During the dream, it is the subconscious who guides our steps, and inevitably memories of past lives will emerge at one time or another from the dream experience . In many cases with extraordinary sharpness. Therefore it is essential that you keep a dream diary that allows you to recompose your dream world during the vigil, in as much detail as possible. Leave the notebook on the nightstand, and write down everything you remember as soon as you wake up. Otherwise you will forget it. Little by little, you will identify patterns, places and people that you don't know, but at the same time, you know.

10. Reveries about past lives

After practicing these simple exercises several times, we can return to the Dreaming . Then you will see how it has been enriched thanks to the amount of fragments, clues and small details collected about possible past incarnations. It is time to let the subconscious take the reins once again. Calm down your mind, close your eyes and prepare to dream.

But now, try to keep in mind your clues, within the fantasy environment that the Dream offers you. Do not force it. Let him come alone. The conscious mind has collaborated by making inquiries and gathering ideas, but the unconscious mind has also been affected by the memories that the previous exercises will have awakened. Let's see what it teaches us. Let her work, and with a little patience, she will show us complete scenes of what we were in another life. It will be an experience that will not leave indifferent any reader.

I hope you enjoyed this trip as much as I did.

See you on the other side.
