I just read a book about this womans past life and got extremely fascinated. When I went to a healer a few years ago, I was informed that my past lives included a life in Canada as a Swedish immigrant, another one as a priest and the last one as a young boy in the consentration camps in Germany during WWII (which could explain my claustrophobia). But I never saw those lives myself. I want too, but when I meditate - all sorts of impressions comes up, some that just can't have anything to do with my past lives.
I wonder if any of you know of a "magic trick" to search the memory for past lives? I don't want to dig up painful memories, but I do feel I need to do this for my own sake. It's pure curiosity!

I have remembered bits and pieces of many past lives. Most are flashes that come and go and for a few seconds are totally real. I seem to find it easier to remember those few moments just before death and what was being thought or felt at that time.
The difficult ones are those who are completely emotional, or in deep pain, a black woman utterly depressed because of a life of slavery and lost children, who finally dies of starvation, bitter and alone, a lone man shot in the belly in a hunting accident, sitting in the forest in agony, waiting for death to take him, a man in rags, running from men in uniforms who are firing rifles at him, knowing he will die, but even after being shot multiple times still crawling away from his attackers (the bullets BURNED), a young girl, playing in a stream, shot through with an arrow, dying face down in the water where she had been playing only moments before.
No matter how much I remember of a past life, I have trouble recalling details that allow me to find evidence that the person existed. Most of the memories are of what the person was thinking at the time. How often do you think of your full name and other details? I have vivid memories of being an old gold miner in Arizona during the gold rush. I never knew that there WAS a gold rush in Arizona until I had these memories and looked it up on the internet. The man was mostly concerned with finding enough gold to buy food, get drunk and to pay the girls in the local saloon. He didn't bathe very often.
What seems to have helped me the most in remembering past life details was to improve my memory. When I first started I could hardly remember back to when I was 5 years old. Now I can remember back to the point where I was a baby in diapers, before I could walk or talk, even to the point before I could understand language and my vision was just shapes and colors.
I clearly remember learning to walk and the first time I ever walked outside on my own.
By the way, kids really don't mind diapers. They are pretty comfy for the most part and make for a padded landing when sitting down hard. But they are no fun when they get full of poop and the poop gets cold. Very uncomfortable. I remember crying bitterly every time that happened.
No magic, but I have found that improving my memory has also improved my ability to remember what I see and experience when I sleep. OBE, telepathy and far sight, interaction with astral beings, and past life memories are, at least for me, experienced when I sleep. When my mind is freed from running my body, it is free to explore the astral realms, to look into my past life memories.
How did I improve my memory? Its simple and anyone can do it.
When you are in a restful state, just before falling asleep, or if you are able to meditate, during meditation, explore you memories. The memories of your life, the memories of your dreams, anything that you can remember.
No pressure, just have a good time exploring your memories. The mind is like a muscle, exercise it and it will become stronger.
At first you may not be able to access all that much. The most vivid memories will be the easiest to recall. After a time more memories will surface. In exploring your dreams you may find that there is kind of "time stamp" that will allow you to place when you dreamed it. You may also find that some dreams are "stored" close to other dreams.
Dreams will have varying levels of reality. Some will be kind of real, others will be very sketchy. Some will have odd things. Dreams are dreams, some dreams are interaction with astral beings or other humans also having OBE.
But your life memories will have the potential of your remembering everything that you thought or felt at the time. At first your memories may be faint, but after practice you will be able to remember EVERYTHING.
With practice you will be able to recall your life memories as real as the moment that it happened. What you were thinking at the time, what you were feeling, how you big toe hurt because you had stubbed it that morning, etc. What you smelled, what you tasted, how your clothes felt on your body.
After you have been working at it for a while, you will find that you can bring your memories back so vividly that you will feel that they are real, again.
As your remembering ability increases, so will your ability to recall what you do in your “sleep life.” That time that you spend in the astral.
What most people don't realize is that we spend a lot of time out of our bodies while we sleep. Our minds are constantly interacting with other sleeping people, astral beings, aliens, exploring the human group subconscious, etc. The problem is that you just don't remember most of it.
You may wake up during an activity and be able to remember some of it. Or you may remember a dream after you wake up that morning. What you remember is only a tiny part of what you did or dreamed that night.
By improving your memory you will be able to retain more of what you actually experienced during your astral explorations or past memory experiences.
The mind is a muscle, exercise it and it will grow stronger. Also, neurons that fire together wire together. Increasing your ability to remember details of your life memories and dream memories will increase your ability to remember details of your past lives.
At least, it has worked for me.
I hope that it works for you too!
Sorry about the long post.

I don't know if its necessary to remember past lives,here, seems some do and some don't.
For the most part anything that needs shifting in your life has to do with past lives, people you meet, attachments and karma.
Personally, my first experience, was in front of a mirror dancing in my early 20's, I saw myself as a male dancer. Brief and too the point, never went back to that one.
Seems everyone I connect to, I have history with, I can meet someone, and start seeing parts of lives we had together, I was doing chakra reading/clearings for some people and what came up were lives I had with them.
I met people faraway on line and found we had a past together.
I also went to an event, where we were doing a forgiveness mantra, (that was intense), When I left I had two very trumatic events from the past come up, and Yogananda was helping to push them up from my seat chakra.
Constantly I see an oriental life with my oldest Son, and some of our karma/old attachments come from that period.
But what I have seen from viewing these past lives is that whatever and whoever we are dealing with, things that push our buttons, are usually past life issues.
For instance, The two rather spontaneous lives that came up and were being pushed up an out of my seat chakra had to do with a friend of mine.
We shared much in common as far as we were both interested in bringing out our psychic abilities. But whenever I talked to her, told her things I had done, I felt she would always try to top me. or in someway make my accomplishments seem small compared to what she had done..
It was only recently, after viewing these 2 lives that I realized it was not her or what she was doing but how I took it, how I felt about it. Sense in both lives she had the power, and it was totally taken away from me. I always felt no matter how hard I'd worked that she was somehow better. I held much resentment & fear.
But once I'd faced this complex in myself, we have marvelous conversations and I walk away feeling empowered and full of Joy.
I also think that people do see and feel past life stuff, you'll be doing something and perhaps see or feel something, but push it off as imagination and then forget about it! Because its not like (which can happen) your relaxing and a life just plays itself. but more that you'll get a feeling, or see as I said. its not alot either.
it might be helpful to journalize any odd things that come up that can't be explained away, and to allow what is coming thru even if it seems you must be losing your mind to be seeing or feeling this or that, that is not apart of your life now. I also think The more you delve into Reading, writing about reincarnation, that the mind is sparked to start bringing you information.
Though as I say most of what we see we are still living, as we chose to bring up and discard the rest of our karma in this lifetime, meaning you will only see what you need to let go of.

Although we are 'starseeds' our body genetics are wearing memory of past life ours ancestors. i'm trying to clean, erase that because i feel like i'm heaving problems with fear, health, justice, understanding, satisfaction, enjoyment...
Love is what i'm spreading every day thinking 'this is beautiful, nice, lovely', and enough, but it seems it isn't... what else?
please help and be blessed
Love :),

Starseeds with cosmic souls, are used not to have this sort of life!
For this life we have chosen our parents thinking with them we may get good development, good life experience, good looking (ego - after the shift / ascension, we'll still be good looking :-)), but if we ware counting on possibility to neutralize century's of negative memories in our body genetics... i stopped here thinking 'WOW :-)), this may be possible', how should we do it?, should we speak with our bodies? should we ask for help? somebody may already know how. :) i'll give my best arranging an solution on my own, if it's possible :-)
If anybody knows how please write :)
Namaste
that sounds accurate...wow...
I personally was thinking that as I raise my vibrations to a high degree then past lives will come to the surface.....
i was thinking that as one unravels then past life experiences come to the 'surface' to be healed, to be released
i was thinking that the soul must carry dna or some kind of soul memory, or maybe the dna of those people are in you being activated would release the memory of that life...
