Reincarnation is one of the basic beliefs in the religions, Hinduism and Buddhism. It sounds like a matter of being practical if you view it from a non-believer’s perspective. If all souls who ever lived were gathered together in an afterlife location, it would be more crowded than Mexico City. With rebirth a reality, it would resolve the problem of overcrowding.

Never ridicule anyone’s religious beliefs. The truth is, no one can prove or disprove the existence of God until they die. There are more individuals who believe in reincarnation than don’t. It sounds practical and is a harmless exploration to think about.

A deja vu experience is a fairly common experience. Walk in to a room and get a chill up and down your spine. It looks very familiar. It just feels as if you’ve been in the room before. Was this building here long enough for you to have visited it during a past life? Or, were you simply here as a small child too young to remember until now?

If you are having problems in your current life, you may seek a therapist. There is a therapy for so many of life’s problems. Rational emotive therapy, scream therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and psychoanalysis come to mind. However, if you seriously believe your problem has its roots in a previous life, you might want to go to a past life regression therapist.

There is an unfamiliar organization called the International Association of Past Life Therapists. They offer to help locate a therapist for someone who wants to explore this avenue. You can start by seeing a psychologist with academic learning. A member of the American Psychological Association is a safe choice.

You might try meditation on your own. Sit in a quiet environment and repeat a mantra over and over until you are in an almost hypnotic state. This is a wonderful relaxation technique. It may help you recall childhood events. It may even take you back to a previous life. This cannot be proved, but it may help explain things to you. In circumstances where you remember something you are unsure about, you cannot ever be certain about a past life event. It may have a logical connection to some event in your current life though. Meditation, if not able to help you understand your problems, is a marvelous method to relax and feel better by doing so.

Hypnotism is another possible form of therapy to try. Find a therapist certified in this field and explain your suspicions about having past life memories. She will help you explore those suspicions in a realistic and safe way. Some people actually receive information they can verify. A name or address, or publicized event may be confirmed through research.

Sometimes an individual has issues that cannot be connected to any events they experienced in life. Yet they continue to feel disturbed, about phobias for example. If hypnotism or regression therapy will allow the person in therapy to find self-understand and relief from anxiety, it will be a good thing.

You may or may not believe in reincarnation but, why make fun of those who do? Just deal with your problems in view of this life and don’t spend all your time and effort on introspection. Sure, you may have been Cleopatra in a previous life. However, if you lived before, you may have been an unknown John Jones in past life. Whatever the situation, don’t let it overwhelm the pleasure you can find in this life.
