How to run Past Life Regressions

When you first start to use this sort of technique you don’t
know how it’s supposed to feel (you can’t believe it
could be this easy!), so you may have doubts about whether
you are doing it correctly. Don’t worry – if anything
at all is unfolding before your mind’s eye, you’re doing
it right. If there is no flow or direction (you’re stopped
in one scene), it means you are purposely blocking it. You’ll
know quite well if you’re doing this. To unblock yourself
at any point, just ask more questions: What time of day or season
is it? What kind of building / vegetation is around you? And so
on.
In running past life regressions it is useful to have a notebook
or tape recorder in hand to jot down the past life as it occurs.
Since the content of a regression is largely emotional, it tends
to fade quickly from conscious memory, and it’s often useful
to have a record of it for future reference. It’s a simple
matter to divide your attention between the past life and the notebook.
Once you get the hang of the entry technique, you can dispense with
the going up in the sky and coming down each time.
You might want to experiment with running past lives involving
people you know from this life. Try this: ask to see a past life
involving someone you love in this life. Then ask to see a past
life with someone you dislike in this life. Simply give the command:
“I’d like to see a past life with so-and-so” at
the time you command to view a past life. The powers that be will
steer you to the right place.
Also, you can ask questions during the regression, such as: “Do
I know that past-life person in this lifetime?” and you’ll
usually get an answer, which will come as either a conscious thought
or a feeling. The theory is that you have an infinite number of
lives with every being on earth, not to mention other places, but
some are closer to your present life than others – more connected
to it in terms of lessons to be learned in this life – and
these are the lives that usually pop up in regressions.
“We all to some extent meet again and again the same
people and certainly in some cases form a kind of family of two
or three or more persons who come together life after life until
all passionate relations are exhausted, the child of one life the
husband, wife, brother, sister of the next. Sometimes, however,
a single relationship will repeat itself, turning its revolving
wheel again and again.” - William Butler Yeats, A
Vision
The question naturally arise as to whether these past life regressions
actually are past lives, or whether the whole thing is just an exercise
in imagination. These regressions are not always factually accurate
portrayals of other times and places (unless you’re very psychic);
you can interpolate anachronisms into them if you want to; moreover
a life supposedly taking place in ancient Rome often looks suspiciously
like something out of Cecil B. DeMille. In other words, we obviously
filter these regressions through our present-day concepts.
Also it is often difficult to relate to the “you”
in a regression. He or she doesn’t act and react the way you
would, and so it’s hard to accept or understand in what sense
that person is you; much less that you are personally responsible
for all the mischief that person is doing.
Nonetheless there is an emotional truth in regressions that argues
for their being taken seriously, no matter whether they are “real”
(whatever that means) or merely figments. The real touch in a past
life regression is with the feelings that the “you”
in the regression is experiencing. There are emotional echoes –
little pings of recognition – that you will know mean something
to you personally, even if you are at a loss to put them into words.
For example, you often recognize the people you know from this lifetime
when you encounter them in regressions by the feeling you have for
them. I first learned to feel the people around me (instead of merely
react to them on a thought form level) by doing past life regressions:
understanding how I felt about them in past lives helped me to get
a grip on how I really feel about them in this life.
