Exploring your Past lives If you want to explore you're past lives you'll need to learn a few balancing techniques.
"The world's a stage and we each must play a part" is a phrase most people are familiar with so let's use this as a starting point on the road to exploring you're past life.
Step One - Imagine yourself in the audience of a theatre awaiting the start of a play.
Try to set this scene as accurately as you can, maybe remembering the last time you were at the theatre (or the movies for that matter).
Feel the atmosphere of the people around you, the people eating popcorn, munching on chips and so on.
Imagine the lights dimming and the stage being lit, the orchestra playing, or the movie about to begin.
Do nothing else at this point just picture with all your imagination yourself in a theatre.
This might take a few attempts, just remember, very few people ever got on a bicycle and learned to ride straight away.
Step Two - When the curtain pulls back imagine or recall a scene in your life from a few days ago enacted on the stage/screen.
Try to see this in as much detail as you can.
Feel the emotions.
When you have accomplished this, close the curtain and imagine yourself where you were at step one.
Relax for a few moments and gather your thoughts.
Step Three - Imagine the curtain being pulled back again only this time try to imagine or recall something you experienced a few weeks ago, repeating step two in as much detail as possible.
Do this a few more times going back further and further in your life as your imagination allows, even into your childhood if you can! When you find you cannot go back any further it is time to end your 'session' for the moment.
Give yourself some time, a few days if necessary, to digest what you've experienced, repeating the experiment until you find your balance.
It's now time to explore a 'past life'.
Follow the instructions at Step One.
As you await the curtain opening use your imagination to set the scene below.
Once you've created your backdrop and the curtain opens to reveal your creation just relax and allow any characters to appear.
You may not fully understand at the moment but any characters appearing on stage (or screen) are memories of you in another time, another place.
Don't direct the action; allow it to unfold in its own way.
When the 'play' is over you should savor the moment and digest what you have 'seen'.
After a few experiments you won't need to use the guidelines given for you'll find ideas welling up from within your own subconscious.
Let me give you a few 'pointers' using your Astrological sign as a 'tool' for getting started, this will change as you change but for the moment use the techniques offered for your first attempts at exploring a 'past life.
' For your first attempts picture the following: Aries: Picture a circus.
Taurus: Set the scene of a dinner party.
Gemini: Picture yourself in a library: Cancer: Create a lounge-room with a huge fireplace.
Leo: A beach resort, ice cool drinks, waiters.
Virgo: Imagine an Art Gallery.
Libra: A dance hall or disco.
Scorpio: Set the scene of an elaborate opera.
Sagittarius: Picture a woodland scene, a rainforest or bush setting.
Capricorn: Create the setting of an expensive restaurant.
Aquarius: Picture your scene in an office environment.
Pisces: Where else but in a hospital or institutional setting? Once you've set your scene and can picture it with all the details you'll soon notice characters to appear, male and female old and young, good and bad.
When this happens sit back, relax and watch the 'play' unfold.
In monitoring your emotions and identifying with certain characters you might find yourself directing them.
When this happens you are experiencing a past life! At all times remember, you are in control, you are the director and no matter how the scene unfolds you can call 'cut' at any time and return to your daily activities.
What I've written is designed to help you understand your very own unique nature, where you've been, where you're going and who you are.
Since you are one of many who will read this it's written for YOU but not you alone.
By its very nature it will contain general remarks and sweeping statements.
Don't be turned off by this, look at it this way: In every forest there are thousands of trees of the same species yet, all individually different.
Read and follow the simple techniques outlined above and I'm sure your intuition will be 'triggered.
' Even though you and I belong to the human race and for the most part we are the same, nevertheless we are individuals in our own right.
Playful meditation is a wonderful tool for escaping the humdrum of everyday existence and exploring your 'past life or lives' should give you some interesting insights into who you are NOW.
Keeping in mind, even though we think in a linear fashion (a past, a present and a future) they all co-exist with one another, think about it.
