Past Life Regression

Past life regression is a technique that uses hypnosis to recover what practitioners believe are memories of past lives or incarnations, though others regard them as fantasies or delusions. Past life regression is typically undertaken either in pursuit of a spiritual experience, or in a psychotherapeutic setting. Most advocates loosely adhere to beliefs about reincarnation,^[1] though religious traditions that incorporate reincarnation generally do not include the idea of repressed memories of past lives.^[2]

The technique used during past life regression involves the subject answering a series of questions while hypnotized to reveal identity and events of alleged past lives, a method similar to that used in recovered memory therapy and one that similarly misrepresents memory as a faithful recording of previous events rather than a constructed set of recollections. The use of hypnosis and suggestive questions makes the subject particularly likely to hold distorted or false memories.^[3] The source of the memories is more likely cryptomnesia and confabulationsthat combine past experiences, knowledge, imagination and suggestion or guidance from the hypnotist than recall of a previous existence. Once created, the memories are indistinguishable from memories based on events that occurred during the subject's life.^[1][2] Memories reported during past life regression have been investigated, and revealed historical inaccuracies that are easily explained through a basic knowledge of history, elements of popular culture or books that discuss historical events. Experiments with subjects undergoing past life regression indicate that a belief in reincarnation and suggestions by the hypnotist are the two most important factors regarding the contents of memories reported.

Though I tend to believe some of what is written here, I do find that this is pretty short sighted and does NOT address a lot of the aspects associated with past life memories. I, as well as others I know, have "past life memories" that are NOT attributed to past life regression performed in accordance with any methods described here.

Memories of the Soul, Past Life Regression

The effects of a past life can manifest in your current life in many ways but should be used as a tool, not an excuse.

Inside our subconscious lie our memories from past lives. Though we seldom remember even having lived these past lives, the experiences we had living them have had a hand in shaping who we are today. The effects of a past life can manifest in a later lifetime in many ways - phobias, self-limiting beliefs, physical problems, or innate creative abilities. Violence, death, and trauma in a past life may show up as fear, uncontrollable anger, or low self-esteem in this one, while positive experiences from an earlier lifetime may cause you to feel strongly drawn to certain people, places, or objects without knowing why.


Many people turn to past life regression therapists to revisit their past lives. Past life regression allows you to recall the memories and emotions associated with a past life that continue to exert an influence over your present reality. You may not have even been aware that these experiences are still affecting you today. Past life regression therapy can offer you a unique opportunity to reconnect with these memories so you can understand them and free yourself.

To discover more about your past lives, consider keeping a notebook where you can record anything that could be a memory from a different lifetime. You may also feel drawn to a particular period in history, a seemingly unfamiliar locale, or a new person you’ve met who seems oddly familiar. Pick a time and choose a place where you can relax. Envision your body being filled with healing white light. Remember that nothing you see or hear will harm you. Ask yourself what you hope to achieve through regression and connect with your inner vision. Observe what you see without judgment. When you are done, think about how what you experienced relates to your present life. There may be beliefs from a past life that you are still operating under but are now ready to let go of. The significance of your past life memory may not be immediately obvious until much later. You can make the most of your past lives by learning from them. While past life regression can be an exciting journey, it! is not a substitute for living in the present where we are most needed right here and now.

If You are like me and have an interest in past life regression/memories, then You will enjoy this read. Think deeply about what you are reading and consider all the aspects.

Namaste,

Evolution of The Soul

Often we reincarnate on earth with our soul family and often our most intense relationships are with our soul family.

You meet someone for the first time and feel as if you know them already. You’re in a town that you’ve never been to before, yet you recognize streets and buildings. You start playing a new sport and amaze everyone, including yourself, at your natural abilities and intuitive knowing of the rules. We often describe such experiences as déjà vu: the experience or feeling that a new situation has happened to us before. Then again, the possibility does exist that we have actually lived these experiences in the past or, rather, in another lifetime.

Many spiritual practices believe that reincarnation is real: Our souls return to this earth over a series of lifetimes to evolve, learn, grow, transform, and become more spiritually attuned through the course of each life. When we reincarnate, it is believed that we tend to cycle through our different lives with many of the same people. Often these traveling “soul” companions are the ones we enter into relationships with; we work through our unresolved issues together so that we may heal. When we struggle or keep encountering blocks that keep us from reaching our goals, there may be a specific lesson that we are supposed to learn in this lifetime. Being naturally blessed with a musical talent or another gift can be a special ability that you worked hard to develop in a past life. You may even have lived before as another gender or as part of a different social or economic class. Each lifetime brings with it specific lessons that are necessary for our spiritual evolution.



Past life recall can give us valuable insights into our past, present, and future lives. The knowledge of how we lived before can help us overcome present obstacles, understand phobias, and resolve relationship issues. There are workshops you can take to learn about past lives, and past life regression therapists can guide you on your journey backward in time. You can learn to visit your past lives through your dreams, meditation, and trance work. It is even possible to see full scenes of a former lifetime flash before you in your mind’s eye as if you were watching a movie. While looking back at your past lives can be exciting and enlightening, it is important to remember that the answers you are seeking to this life can only truly be found by living this one. Look to your past to see where you’ve been, but remember that the life that matters most is the one that you are living now.

Reincarnation And Reba McEntire

Reba McEntire Reincarnated

Although Reba McEntire fears that fellow Christians might criticize her for it, the singer says she believe she's been reincarnated.

"I believe I've gone both ways -- that I have been here before as a man," the 53-year-old (in this life, anyway) tells the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "I believe I have spent time with my son Shelby before. I believe I have spent time with other people in my life before. Who knows? Maybe I'm part Buddhist."

As for reconciling her Christian faith with her belief in reincarnation, McEntire says, "I'm sorry, but this is how I live my life, this is what I believe."

In the same candid and often humorous interview, the country legend confesses her love for buying toilet paper in bulk at Costco.

"Why not buy 150 rolls of toilet paper at one time? I eventually use them up," she says with a laugh.

She also dishes on whether she'd rather star in a film about Britney Spears or Paris Hilton.

"Britney!" she exclaims. "She came up working in the music business, was a huge success, then something went wrong and now she's on a downside. Poor thing. What happened to her is very interesting to me.

Paris? She acquired her fame through being, I guess, a rich socialite. She didn't earn it, so she doesn't interest me.

"McEntire also reveals that the silliest thing she's done lately is karaoke-ing with Kelly Clarkson.

"She's half my age, but we have a blast together ..."

I think that is really pretty cool that Reba has publicly acknowledged what alot of people know and believe. Reincarnation! If your religion cant handle that, then maybe YOU don't need them after all.

How We Choose Our Life's Work

Once back on earth, each soul is at the epicenter of its own ripple effect, creating currents of positive shifts that will impact fellow travelers at the level of which it is capable.

When a soul in heaven wants to improve itself, how does it go about the transition process?

The two biggest decisions a soul has to make involve his life's purpose and the emotional issues he plans to resolve. Those two dynamics comprise the foundation of his spiritual blueprint. Only after he has chosen his life's work and the emotional issues he will attempt to address does he consider all of the other details of his life's path that will allow him to accomplish as much as possible during his time on the earthly plane.

Every human being on the earthly plane has planned a specific life's work, including you! But how does one go about making such an important decision? Souls typically gravitate toward the type of work for which they've had an affinity in prior earthly lifetimes. The life's work we choose is certain to result in spiritual, emotional, and mental fulfillment; and, stating the obvious, a soul would never choose a kind of work that he would not be successful in achieving. When I conduct private sessions, clients ask about the nature of their life's work more than any other question. When I reveal specifics about what they are here on the earthly plane to accomplish, often the individual will gasp and respond, "What! Can I do that? I'd love to, but I don't know if I'm capable!"

What's more, a soul often continues to choose the same kind of life's purpose again and again; only the method by which it conducts the work will shift from lifetime to lifetime.

For example, a soul that enjoys healing may have worked as a doctor in the Middle Ages healing victims of the plague with flower essences; then, returned for another earthly lifetime to work as a doctor in colonial America healing victims of smallpox with leeches; followed by a lifetime as a surgeon operating on soldiers from the front lines in WWI; and who, in the present day, works as an orthopedic surgeon in modern-day London, devoting his time to replacing arthritic hips and knees with technologically-advanced prosthesis joints.

Souls that gravitate toward the performing and creative arts may have been a poet in the time of Jesus; an actor performing Shakespeare in the Middle Ages; an artist during the Renaissance; then an opera singer in the 1800's; and now an author of children's books.

Other souls may have an affinity for public service. A soul could have chosen to be a diplomat during the reign of Elizabeth I; a sympathetic judge during the Spanish Inquisition; an activist working to free the slaves in antebellum America; an inventor during the Industrial Revolution; and now, a Member of Parliament fighting for funds to feed the poor.

An intrepid ship's captain who sailed a merchant vessel on uncharted seas to transport silks, spices, and precious stones during the Middle Ages may now be a helicopter pilot who ferries donated organs to medical centers for lifesaving transplants.

There are other souls that love to work with the soil as farmers, ranchers, cattlemen, or who own vineyards filled with grapes or olives while they are residing on the earthly plane.

Individuals who enjoy the military often repeat those experiences. General George S. Patton believed that he had past lifetimes on earth as a soldier and spoke openly about it. Perhaps that is why he so fearlessly prevailed during World War II -- since developing combat strategies was so familiar to him?

Athletic ability is also echoed from life to life. An individual who participated in the early Olympic Games could have been reborn as an Olympian in other incarnations. Perhaps some of the professional athletes today have followed these patterns in past earthly lives?

Typically, a soul will choose a kind of life's purpose that will allow it to carry on from where it left off in a prior life, seeking to make a mark on the earthly plane and leaving it a better place.

In this regard, a soul revisiting earth may choose to raise a family and remain in the same community in which it was born for an entire lifetime, or, it could decide to impact the world at large, creating a ripple effect of positive change that transcends political philosophies, geographic borders, and religious beliefs...like a Mother Theresa, Helen Keller, Michelangelo, Thomas Edison, Clara Barton, or Alexander Fleming.

Regardless of the size of the impact it plans to make while on earth, each soul has the same opportunity to develop greater wisdom, maturity, and enlightenment so that its time on earth is wisely invested for itself...and others!

New Reality, Universal Consciousness, YOU

Twelve Principles for the New Reality by Owen Waters


The New Reality brings with it a new vista of awareness. In order to operate successfully in the new environment, you need to apply the new principles which come with this expanded view of reality.

In this, the ultimate reality is recognized as universal consciousness, which is the formative essence behind all that exists within the universe. This essence can be called Infinite Being because it is the awareness behind everything within the universe.

1. Infinite Being is All That Is. Nothing exists outside of it

The universe exists within the consciousness of Infinite Being. The physical world exists within the consciousness of Infinite Being. We exist within the consciousness of Infinite Being.

2. We are Infinite Being

Creation is holographic in nature, meaning that the one can be found within the all. For example, the oak tree produces acorns and yet the life-form of a complete oak tree is contained within each acorn. If a picture hologram is divided into two, both parts will still retain the complete original picture.

While you are a part of the consciousness of Infinite Being, you are also Infinite Being itself. At the deepest level of reality, all that Infinite Being is, you are.

Therefore we are, each one of us, Infinite Being.

3. Purpose in life

Your overall purpose in life is to experience it from one individual, unique point of view. Just as each snowflake is unique, so is each person. From a cosmic point of view, you are one expression of Infinite Being as it experiences itself from all possible viewpoints. In this way, through you and all life, Infinite Being gains infinite experience.

At a personal level, you, as a soul, pre-planned the major themes of your life. You chose the time, the place and your parents in order to set a life plan in motion which would explore those themes. Such pre-planning gave rise to the occurrence of related, meaningful events in your life which may have already given you the impression that destiny exists.

Destiny does exist, to the extent that the major themes of your life are pre-planned, by you, ahead of time.

As you pass through life, certain names, places, people and activities resonate with a certain specialness in your consciousness. It’s almost as if you knew them once before, but you can’t quite remember when or where. That is destiny, as it unfolds important, pre-planned and pre-viewed events into your life.

In the phenomenon called déjà vu, scenes that you recognize as they unfold in your life are scenes which you had previously viewed in another state of consciousness. This previewing occurred either during your pre-life planning or, more often, in a recent, out-of-body, dream-state where, in order to help yourself remain on-purpose, you reviewed the important, upcoming events in your life.

4. Free will enables you to explore your true potential

Free will fills in all the details. It can be used to any degree that you choose. The most productive use of free will is to explore your true potential within the themes of your life, thus gaining the greatest possible experience from your life plan.

5. Reincarnation

Reincarnation exists to provide a variety of experiences, so that life skills may be gained, and so that, while in a physical body, you can rediscover your spiritual connection within.

6. Life after ‘death’

From the point of view of your true, inner personality, passing away from the physical realm is like stepping out of a suit that you have worn for a while. The suit is not the real you. In your spirit body, you move into the spirit realm, which is a place of joy and healing. After meeting with friends and relatives who have passed on before, you start work on resolving the issues which caused inner conflict during your physical life. Then, as you move into the higher realms, remembering more about who you really are, you experience reunion with the rest of your immediate and extended soul families.

These are the first 6 of the 12 principles for the "new reality", the Universal Consciousness. I will post 7 thru 12 tomorrow. This will give YOU a little time to digest and think through the first 6 principles. Hopefully, using your "opyn mindz", these principles will give YOU further insight to YOU and all of US and all that is.

To be continued....Part 2 Principles 7-12 coming next

Soul Mates PT 2 The One

Soul Mates (Part 2) The ONE

Before we go any further, it was suggested to me, by my "soul mate", that I should offer some dictionary/encyclopedia definitions of the term soul mate.

Soulmate (or soul mate) is a term sometimes used to designate someone with whom one has a feeling of deep affinity, friendship, love, strong intimacy or compatibility.

The term makes reference to the concept of the soul and carries certain New Age overtones.

There is a prevalent concept in some segments of the New Age movement that some souls are literally made and/or fated to be the mates of each other, or to play certain other important roles in each others' lives.

A related concept is that of the twin flame or twin soul - thought to be the ultimate soulmate, the one and only other half of one's soul, which all souls are driven to find and unite with.

However, not everyone who uses these terms intends them to carry such mystical connotations; they are sometimes used simply as an expression of strong emotional feeling for someone.

DefinitionsClassical - Greek mythology - An angry god split our ancestors into two resulting in humans who are condemned to spending their lives searching for the other half, the soulmate.

Spiritual and religious - concepts of reincarnation and karma. Soulmates have spent many previous lifetimes together.

Companion soulmate - People with whom one has made a connection.

Twin soulmates - Very close friends with whom one has strong bonds.

Twin flame soulmate - A popular romantic belief that there is only one true soulmate.

Our series on Soul Mates continues as promised. Part 2 explains "The One". Enjoy, and, feel free to post any comments you may have.

THE ONE

How many times have you met someone who touched your heart and you have asked, "Is this person, 'The One'?" This expression refers to "The One For Me...."

From the time we are able to desire a partner - most people seek The One - the person who is here to make them feel complete.

That person would be a lifetime partner - always there with unconditional love, compassion and understanding.

The One is here to share your journey - through all of its detours - and to support your decisions as you evolve.

When you meet The One - if you are lucky enough to meet that person - you do not have to ask, "Is this The One?" You will know.

Most people change too much during their experiences here to meet The One.They meet souls who may seem to be The One at a cycle in their lives - but later move on with another or remain alone.

The One is your soul - divided by the barriers of Time and Space - above and below - feeling naked and alone in third dimension and struggling to find the answers to age old questions...Why am I here? What is my mission?

The One as yourTwin Flame This is your polar opposite - the yin / yang - the balance aspect of your soul - The One who makes you complete - and waits in higher frequency for soul reunion - often guiding your path in third dimension.

While in 3D - young people search for The One most of their lives.

Middle Age people - still seek that person - but their goals with that person have changed.

Older people still seek a companion - The One become less a person of 'passion' and more about 'compassion.'

The One is linked with many aspects of Love: Spiritual [pure consciousness connection] - Physical [passion] - Romantic [feeds the heart and fantasies] - Emotional [understands and fills our many needs] - Mental [growing together and sharing new choices]

Do you think you have found The One?

Have you found - then lost - The One?

Do you have something to release connected to The One?

Have you concluded that you will never meet The One?

When you say that - are you saddened by the thought?

If you do not meet The One - will you settle for another?

Can you be alone and not be lonely?

Does being alone scare you?

Do you long for romance and passion?

Do not look for The One. Live your life. Embrace the moment. Be kind and caring.

If The One for you is out there - and you are BOTH ready - you will attract each other by synchronicity - no other way.
