“Reincarnation does not exist” is an opinion spread by skeptics who have never tried to study their past life memories. There are enough speculations and rumors among the uninitiated.
Is it true that past lives are remembered only by very rare lucky ones - monks, psychics, and maybe those who were struck by lightning? Is the recollection technique similar to deep hypnosis like in the movies? Or is it even more difficult in reality? Do they go to past lives to recover from psychosis? Is it really as healthy as claimed? And if you were burned at the stake there, will it hurt you during the session?
1 myth: before looking at past lives, deal with this first
The soul has a history of incarnations, that is, a series of lives through which it gained experience. And in every life it comes not just like that, but with a specific goal, task. The tasks of the present life stem from what has been accomplished or not accomplished in previous ones. Also from what the Soul has planned to learn. Therefore, the present life is a consequence of what was lived by the Soul before and what it and its Guides chose before incarnation. The easiest way to deal with the consequence is through the cause. Having learned the reason, it becomes clear why you are you, why you live where you live, why you have these particular parents.
Therefore, the statement that you first need to deal with this life is wrong, because this life, its main events are a consequence of the past experience of the Soul and its plans for this incarnation. The cause of serious situations, accidents, fears, and incomprehensible conditions in most cases lies precisely in past lives and life between lives.
2 myth: it doesn't matter how to remember - with a specialist or on your own
There is a significant difference between self-immersion in memories of the past and working with a specialist. I see it in the following:
Promotional video:
Double expenditure of energy.
In self-immersion, you perform two roles at once: translate yourself from memories, directing your attention to the right moments, and actually remember, look, feel. This is a double expenditure of energy and attention, therefore, it is not uncommon for a person to fall asleep during independent recollection, or to stop without progressing further.
Break your own patterns, habitual and dead-end schemes.
It is not for nothing that psychologists go to consult other psychologists. A look from the outside, the look of a person with a different experience will help you find a way out of old, dead-end situations in your opinion. Do not spin like a squirrel in a wheel and do not walk in circles in the same patterns. Only new actions and new perceptions will lead you to a new level.
Knowledge of safety precautions.
The reincarnation counselor knows safety precautions, knows what to do if you encounter difficult memories or find yourself in spaces unfamiliar to your current personality.
The ability to achieve the immersion goal.
A professional guide knows what a person may face in memories. Based on the theory and practice of working with clients, he has compiled a so-called “map” of worlds, spaces, situations in which you find yourself in your memories. He knows what to do in each specific situation. And he knows how to guide you through the variety of emerging images and sensations to the goal for which you came to the session.
3 myth: past life can only be remembered under deep hypnosis
The memory of other incarnations is closer than it seems. Most people simply do not have the knowledge, understanding of how to touch it. A light trance is enough, that is, directing attention inward, and knowing where the door to memory is, how to open it. Reincarnation consultants work with clients without deep, directive hypnosis. To remember past lives and the space between lives, it is enough to introduce a person into an autogenous state.
From the encyclopedia of practical psychology: “An autogenous state is a special state of consciousness, a specific type of activity (autogenous displacement, sleepiness), the focus of which is transferred from the external to the internal sphere of a person.
An autogenous condition occurs when a person:
1. is located in a quiet place;
2. relaxed in a comfortable position;
3. focuses on something.
An autogenous state differs from a drowsy state by the presence of a constant conscious perception of everything that happens. The autogenous state can go into a drowsy state and then into sleep.
4 myth: past life memories will solve all your problems
Remembering the past of your Soul, you realize who you are and why you live. You will see many reasons for what is happening to you now. Where and why to move, how to move, where to get the strength for it. But, despite all this, you still have to move yourself. To go through their earthly lessons, to study, to draw conclusions, to doubt something, to be wrong somewhere, to choose between something. Remembering yourself and your experience of past lives, you will gain understanding, greater awareness, but no one else will do the actions in this material world for you.
5 myth: if you remember a hard, tragic life, then it will only make you worse
A reincarnation session consists of several stages. Viewing your immediate past life is just one of them. This stage itself is healing in most cases, but the work can be called incomplete without the next step. After life, the Soul rises up to its House, the World of Souls. This is the place where she is between incarnations. It is also the place where the events and conditions of the upcoming life are planned. And after its completion, the newly returned Soul together with the Mentors summarizes the results of the incarnation there. If life was hard, difficult, tragic, then either it was planned by the Soul in order to pass some lesson, to complete a task, or there was a deviation from the plan.
From the position of the Soul, you see what you learned in this incarnation, and if there was a deviation from the plan, then for what reason. Remembering the space of the World of Souls into which you got after such an incarnation, you will experience healing from those difficult, heavy feelings that you experienced in life. You will experience a deep awareness of what and why your life was like this. The light and love that fill this space overwhelm the difficult experiences of the life seen. And the breadth of view from the position of the Soul gives an understanding of the lessons learned.
6 myth: only a select few can see past lives
Almost everyone can remember their reincarnations, but, for the most part, people do not know how this is done technically. They were not taught this anywhere. And so it seems like something difficult.
7 myth: what I saw is not my past life, but my fantasies
Here is a quote from the statements of the great spiritual leader, mystic Osho:
“When people go into their past lives, they often ask, 'Is this reality or just imagination?' This question can only be answered by going deep inside yourself and exploring the inner world of your subconscious mind, where the memory of a past life is stored. If you dwell on this issue before starting your research, your anxiety can become a hindrance on your inner journey.
Past life meditation is an inner exploration, entering into what is. Only by allowing everything can you discover whether what you are experiencing is a real past life or your imagination. And remember, everything that happens during meditation can tell you something about you, even if it is pure fantasy. If you are reliving your past through feelings and emotions, it is more likely that you are reliving a real past life instead of fantasy. Imagination can be used to create fantasies, and it can also be used as a bridge to our present past. Especially at the beginning of our journey into the inner world, when we are not in tune with our inner feelings, imagination can help us get in touch with our inner feelings, help make them more alive.
With practice, your ability to visualize will strengthen and you will receive images in a direct way, but at first, your creative imagination can stimulate you. And remember, even if you feel that you have created it, whatever appears in front of your inner gaze, emerges from your subconscious, and therefore can tell you something about you. Biochemist and psychiatrist Ian Stevenson collected documentary evidence of the real existence of people and places that children under 4 years old recalled as their past incarnations.
8 myth: memories are lived as real as if it happened to you right here and now
For each of you, certain channels of perception work better. The visual channel is when you see vivid images. Channel “I know” - information comes in the form of knowledge, a person says “I just know this…”. The channel of sensations, when you feel, experience emotionally, bodily. Memories, too, may not come on all channels, but on one or two. And that's okay. This does not make them less valuable. Through any of the channels, a person is able to receive information necessary for understanding and action.
Even if the memories are felt by the body and are accompanied by clear, distinct images, sounds, smells, this is not the same as living an event in real time with the current body. In immersion, you remain conscious and realize that you are going through an immersion session. At any moment you are able to stop at will and completely return to the here and now. So, you are familiar with the common myths about reincarnation. Now you know that the memories of past lives are available to most people, you understand the role of the specialist-guide conducting the session, you have read about how memories come.
