There are many things we can do in order to find out more about our past lives whether we believe in reincarnation or not. Interestingly enough though, the amount of people who believe in reincarnation far exceeds the number who don’t. In fact, reincarnation forms the backbone of many religions with Hinduism and Buddhism being just two of them. For many who don;t have any spiritual connection, reincarnation offers a common sense approach to solving some of life’s many mysteries.
Maintain a Diary or Journal of Experiences
It is generally accepted that by writing down the facts of your experiences, you stand the best chance of learning about your past lives. It is even advised that one should record the experiences which appear to be of little significance. Likewise, one should not neglect to record the way in which your emotions were affected by any experiences you’ve had as emotions are an ideal indicator which can lead to providing many clues. By documenting your experiences in a diary or journal, you’ll have a written record which you can then go over as and when required.
These clues which have been mentioned, often manifest themselves in our day to day lives and providing you’re willing to look for them, you’re sure to find some. For example, you could start by making one or two lists. The first one could consist of the things you like or don’t like and could cover a wide range of factors, from foods to religions, from cultures to historical events. The second list on the other hand could cover more personal aspects such as moods, temper, talents and even any specific fears you may have. Additionally, keep a record of other things such as any scars you have and even make a note of your birthmark. While these may seem insignificant, they may well provide clues further down the line to a past life. Even feelings of deja-vu are worth writing down.
Past lives often show up in dreams so keep a record of what you dream about. Do remember though that dreams may be to do with your present life as well as the past. Tell yourself you would be interested in learning about your past life just before you drop off to sleep at night then remember to write your dreams in your journal the next day.

Meditation
While meditation is an extremely valuable and worthwhile tool for anyone wishing to learn more about their past lives, many people have trust issues regarding the information they receive. This is hardly surprising really when when considers that meditation is in essence, a very private and personal affair. Perhaps the only way around this issue is for you to place your trust in your instincts and to follow your feelings.
With images constantly fading in and fading out, meditation can very often appear to be much the same as daydreaming. However, you should make sure you write everything down so that you can go over it at your leisure, at a time that best suits you. One should remember though, because the human mind is so receptive to suggestion, if you tell yourself you can’t recall past life experiences, then you simply won’t be able to.
For some people meditating requires sound whilst others prefer the quiet and maybe the visual stimulus of a candle flame. By sound, this can be a piece of music, the “om” of Tibetan bells or a recorded meditation session supplied by a therapist.
A relatively new development using sound technology has been shown to have very promising results. This therapy known as “binaural beats” is performed by playing sound waves in each ear but with slight variations in the frequencies. Current studies tend to suggest that a feeling of deep relaxation is instantly experienced, similar to that which is experience by Zen monk when they meditate.
Irrespective of which method suits you best, have a quiet and peaceful surrounding is of utmost importance.
Of course one can lie down to meditate but you run the risk of falling asleep, therefor it is recommended that you adopt a sitting position instead. Don’t burden yourself with any expectations apart from expecting a state of deep relaxation. Focus should be entirely on muscle relaxation as well as a calm and clear mind. Thought and questions which come to you during this time should be addressed as briefly as possible and then allowed to pass on by. While this may seem challenging at first, with a little practice, it does get easier.
The pictures you get in your mind will help you to determine something in your life whether or not you believe in reincarnation. Of course, you may not be sure the images are from a previous life but sometimes people are able to piece together sufficient information to carry out research and verify the names, places and occasions which have arisen.
Another thing often discovered is that those close to you now also played a part in your previous life, although the relationship may well be different. For instance, your father in your present life may have been your brother previously.
Regression helps people find what they receive to be helpful and interesting, whatever their views on the subject may have been initially.
