Meditating to Remember Yourself In Past Lives

Do you ever wonder who you used to be in your past life or lives? Has it ever really occurred to you that you have been alive more than once, likely several times, and that it is possible to recall memories from your formal selves?

The fact is, most of us have probably already lived here before. By not understanding that probability, it is easy to be unaware of the ulterior motives of our past lives that could possibly be playing out into our current existence. Although it may seem unfair that karma could literally be punishing you for something not done in this life, it is also an important factor to consider in making this life better.

If any of your past lives are influencing this one, wouldn't you like to know?

Remembering Yourself In A Past Life Begins With Meditation

Being able to connect with your former selves (if there were pervious versions of you), is no easy task. Months and months of mediation may (or may not) yield but one solid memory that could possibly illicit more questions than answers. If you are not accustomed to meditation and do not have a regular meditation regimen, you should consider reading more about meditation and practicing it regularly before jumping into the deep end.

Find yourself in a comfortable position (for me, this type of meditation session tends to last a lot longer than normal meditation, so I would be more comfortable lying down). Listen to your body breathe.

If you are more experienced with breathing techniques, you might find your subconscious to be more aroused by a Kundalini style of breathing (thinking about how you breathe when you are actually asleep: you take a deep breathe in and you rest for about 4 seconds in between inhale and exhale, in between this world and the next, and you exhale deeply until again you are completely still and in between inhale and exhale, until the rhythmic pattern repeats itself over and over, as dictated by not you, but by life itself - God.

Focus your awareness on your desire to remember yourself in past lives. Try not to think the question, "who was I in a past life?" and except an immediate, cosmic answer, rather know that you want to access that realm of your own knowledge and simply accept any thoughts, images, emotions, or whatever seeps up into your conscious.

As things do come to you, just allow them into your conscious. Try to visualize, hear, or sense in whatever way you can, but avoid questioning and trying to make sense of everything - you can do that outside of your meditation, once you have possession of the knowledge to think freely upon it. Trying to solve the whole puzzle in a meditative state just blurs the images of the pieces at hand, and leaves most pieces upside down (or blank). In order to solve your puzzle, you might need to spend time with each piece individually.

Crystals That Can Help You Remember Your Past Lives In Meditation

If you have access to these stones, they have unique qualities that (in different ways) will help reconnect with your past lives: apatite, aragonite, charoite, dioptase, garnet, Herkimer diamond, brown jasper, moldavite, electric blue obsidian, opal, serpentine, sheet quartz, among others.

Before You Open The Door To Your Past Lives

Before you really start to meditate on remembering your past lives, you must consider what you are actually asking for. If you did in fact live in pervious lives, you died - and possibly in a horrific manner that you could possibly recall in vivid detail, like drowning under a strong current in a river, burning alive in a house fire, being raped and beaten to death by a group of degenerates, or who knows how. By recalling experiences, you do have the ability to be influenced positively or negatively by them, and ultimately bring negative energy back into this existence.

If you do recall something horrific and painful, allow yourself to experience it with the comfort of knowing that you can only experience the experience, but in the safety of your own comfortable space. As soon as you are done meditating, you are free to experience or not experience anything that you remember.

Do Not Forget What Took You Forever To Remember

If you are serious about discovering who you were in past lives, you are going to need to keep a journal or private blog so that you can remember everything and look at the information that you have obtained abstractly.

Immediately after mediation, it helps to write down every detail, emotion, though, etc, that came through that session. Some of the details you write will have no meaning to you until months later, after several sessions that yield small pieces of the puzzle here and there.

Do Not Be Discouraged If You Cannot Recall Yourself In Past Lives

Do not be taken aback if nothing is coming to you - you cannot fail at meditating. Every moment that you are closer to yourself, you are closer to God, so do not turn this into a goal oriented system of intention and failure, you will not find what you seek that way.

Trying to remember yourself in past lives is not a process that can be forced. Some will be able to recall themselves almost immediately; some may never. Don't be discouraged. There could be great spiritual significance to your inability to recall past lives, and it is possible that this is your very first cycle - welcome to life!
