Past Lives: Learning from the Past

Looking into past lives can be very telling in the current life. Learning of mistakes that continue into where a person's life is at today can actually make breaking that cycle of mistakes interesting and very eye opening. Not only can it be beneficial to correct mistakes of life, but it can also help to resolve emotional issues. But to better understand how looking into past lives can help with fixing problems in the current life, there must be an understanding of what past lives are, and on how to go about looking into them.

There are many theories on what past lives are and how we come by them. One is like life is a cycle beginning with birth and ending at death. It is believed that the soul has a cycle as well. A soul is reborn into another life until that soul has completed its task and then that soul may move on completing its cycle. Quite often the soul is reborn to fix mistakes that happen in a previous life or an emotional issue that sometimes is not resolved when the life cycle ends. A soul is also sometimes said to be reborn into another life when the previous life ends prematurely do to an injustice or traumatic event. It is when a previous life is ended due to a traumatic event or injustice that carries over the unresolved emotional issues that a person might have, but have no understanding why they feel as they do.

There are three main ways of looking into a souls past life:

- Past life regression

- Dream Interpretation

- Readings

The first is past life regression where the past life of a person is visited by the use of hypnosis. Through hypnosis the unconscious mind is opened and long buried memories are able to surface. This method can be done through self hypnosis, or through the use of a therapist.

Another method is the use of dreams and dream interpretation. It has been held for many years that dreams can show us our past, present, or future, so it's not that far of a stretch to believe that dreams can show us past lives as well. It is up to us to interpret the meaning from what we see, hear, and feel during the dream state. The important thing about using dreams to learn about past lives is writing everything remembered about the dream that shows the past.

The most popular way of looking into past lives is to have a reading done. This is the spiritual way of looking into past lives. The use of tarot cards, runes, and astrology are said to be very powerful mediums when looking into past lives. I have had two separate past life reading done, using two different methods. These readings were done at two separate times and from two separate sources. I gave the same information to both reading and I had the readings down three months apart. What was interesting to see was though they were different in method, they had similar findings, and the findings fit certain parts of my life that are only know to me and my family.

Learning about past lives and looking at the mistakes made in the past can help to understand where the current life is at and where it might be heading.
