"16
Clues to Your Past Lives" - By Barbara Lande
The
author reveals how clues to our prior lives can be found in the clothes
we choose
to wear, in our dreams, on our bookshelves, in the movies we choose,
and in
our careers. Lanes lighthearted adventure shows you how to ferret
out the
16 traits in your life from which you can put together a coherent
picture
of your earlier lifetimes.
"Old
Souls-The Scientific Evidence for Past Lives" - by Tom Schroder
In a book
that will fascinate skeptics and supporters alike, award-winning
journalist
Tom Schroder reveals one of the astonishing, untold stories of our
time. It
is the story of thousands of young children who speak of remembering
previous
lives. They provide detailed, accurate, and emotionally laden
information
about people who died before they were born, people they claim
they once
were.

***
Reincarnation & Past Lives ***
The
results of our last month's poll "Do you believe in
reincarnation
& past lives" show that most visitors to our
Circle
would like to know more about their past lives but
don't
know how. This
result is actually not surprising. We are all intrigued
by our
past lives, wondering what and who we were in the
past.
For the
evolution of our soul, however, it is really not important
"who" we were in the sense of a person (e.g. were we
someone famous), but in the sense of "who" we were as
an essence. Therefore, the true questions to ask are
"what have I accomplished in a past life", "where lies my
connection in this life to my past lives", "what are the
lessons I still have to learn, based on my past lives".
In this
sense, reincarnation therapy is a valuable tool to help you
on your spiritual path. Some people might claim hat
especially in the New Age, we should live in the
"here
and now" and not be concerned about our past lives. In my
opinion, time is but an illusion, therefore, also your
"past" lives are our "here and now".
I also
believe, however, that nothing should be forced when it
comes to
past lives, and that the preferable method to delve
into past
lives is to stay conscious during the whole process.
What you
need for this process is a good past life therapist who
will help
you reach a meditative alpha state, meaning that
more
active that the left, logical hemisphere.
Your
therapist will then ask you for the picture you see (sometimes
you may want to think of a specific difficulty in your
present life and concentrate on a picture that will come up
to help you resolve this problem). Unlike
with hypnosis, you are awake during the whole process and truly
experience and remember everything.
According
to my experience, the ability of a person to see pictures
clearly during their first past life session, has nothing
to do with the spiritual background of that person. Sometimes
people who meditate regularly (and meditating induces
the alpha-state) do no see anything while others who do not
practice any exercises and are not spiritually oriented
see a
whole past life unfolding in their first session.
It may,
however, take up to three sessions before you see any
clear picture. If you don't see or feel anything after
three sessions, you are doing yourself a favour by
leaving
it alone. There are many other ways to take on your
spiritual path - regression into past lives is only one of them.
And again - you should try this method only with an
experienced past life therapist, who will also help you
focusing
during the session. As this method is not using hypnosis
and you are totally conscious, nothing that you cannot handle at
this point in your life will come to the surface.
Very
often, healing sessions induce spontaneous regressions
into past
lives (including distant healing sessions as
practices
by our circle). The regressions can happen quite
spontaneously
and not necessarily while you are meditating, but
even
while you do grocery shopping, driving home in your car, or
something
similar. In this case just watch the story that is
unfolding
in your mind's eye. Most of the times there will
be one
image that will strike you as having a relevancy to
your
present life, and many times you will have an immediate
understanding
of how this image is connected to your past
life.
These
spontaneous regressions come up as a result of a healing
process
that has been initiated in your system, and they are
important
in removing blockages and helping you on your way.
Since
these images "came to you" rather than "you came looking
for
them", they will never show up before you are ready for it
and they
will not do you any harm.
Now let's
imagine you are still skeptical about past lives, and you
are trying to validate if what are seeing are really
past
lives? If you do have these concerns you may be constantly
blocking
yourself throughout the process, making it more difficult. So just
take a moment to ask yourself: Why do I see these images?
What do
they want to tell me?
You don't
necessarily have to believe that they are "past
lives"
- as mentioned before, time is an illusion. Just accept
these
images as part of yourself, accept that they are there
and let
them assist you on your spiritual path.
***
Journeys Into The Light - Accompanying Souls on their Journey Home ***
When
someone we love suddenly passes we all have to go through
a natural
state of shock and mourning. During this stage the soul
that
passed will still be very close to us, both physically
(even
though we can't see them) and emotionally. The person who
passed
feels our pain and wants to stay with us and comfort us.
It is
very important for us to help them to go into the light, and
after
they passed.
If you
have a loved one who passed, try to be receptive for the
messages
you receive from them. Especially when they passed suddenly,
for
example through an accident, and did not have time to
communicate
their last wishes, they still have a lot to tell
us, and
they will. You may be surprised that besides telling
will give
you detailed instructions of how they want their
memorial
service to be handled. Oftentimes they also answer other
important
question that have been left open by their passing.
They can
also be a great comfort for you. Almost always, people who
have lost
loved ones are agonized with guilt feelings (this seems
to be a
natural part of the mourning process). Your loved one will
let you
know that your are not responsible in any way for their
death.
It is
beyond their power, however, to answer the eternal question
of
"why". This is where we all have the opportunity of finding
the
strength in our hearts and souls to believe and trust in
a force
wiser and greater than us to take care of us.
Be open
for what they have to tell us, and act accordingly.
If they
asked for it, then it is important to them and it will
be
important for your life too. Complying with their requests
will
greatly help them on their journey into the light.
Also, if
you can, see the memorial service as part of your
loved
one's journey into the light.
While
mourning is essential in the process of overcoming the death
of a
loved one, the acceptance of the death and the letting go
of that
person is the next important step on both our and
their
way. Remember, even if your loved one is not there physically,
you never
lose them spiritually and you will be forever connected.
Please
find below a meditation that can help you dissolve your
feeling
of separation and farewell from your loved one and at
the same
time help them on their journey into the light:
**If you
are new to meditation please see our January Newsletter
to
find out more about the basics of meditation **
Once you
have reached a meditative state, visualize a ray of golden
light.
Let this ray turn into a beautiful pillar of golden light.
See how
your loved one enters this pillar of light and request they
will be
taken into the light, to the place where they have to and
should be
now. See how happy they are to go into the light and feel their
happiness inside of you. Let the golden pillar with your
loved one
rush away from you and keep focused in your meditation.
When you
feel the time is right, visualize a second ray of golden light.
This time
bathe yourself in this ray, draw it all around your body.
Stay
focused in your meditation and sit like this for a while.
When you
feel that it is time, return slowly and gently from your
meditation.

***Let's
Be Inspired - Our Weekly Inspiration***
Happy is
the moment, when we sit together,
With two
forms, two faces, yet one soul,
you and
I.
The
flowers will bloom forever,
The birds
will sing their eternal song,
The
moment we enter the garden,
you and
I.
The stars
of heaven will come out to watch us,
And we
will show them the light of a full moon,
you and
I.
No
thoughts of "you", no thoughts of "I",
Just the
bliss of the union -
Joyous,
alive, free of care,
you and
I.
All the
bright-winged birds of heaven
Will
swoop down to drink our sweet water -
The ocean
of our laughter,
you and
I.
What a
miracle of fate, us sitting here.
Even at
the far ends of the earth
We would
still be together,
you and
I.
We have
on form in this world, another in the next.
To us
belongs an eternal heaven ,
the
endless delight,
you and I
