Reincarnation is the process used
by Spirit to progress the soul through evolutionary cycles. With each lifetime,
the soul repays karmic debt, receives rewards for karmic credit and sets-up
situations that cause the soul to face spiritual lessons. These lessons help to
progress the enlightenment of the soul. If we learn our lessons, we move
forward, if we repeat old patterns and chose not to learn, we can remain
stagnant and end up having to repeat the lesson again.
2013 will be a year of great spiritual awakening for those
who seek it.
By learning
and exploring your past lives, you will grow spiritually. Past life knowledge
can enhance your creativity by increasing your self discovery, any talents long
forgotten can come back to you, strengths you never knew you had can be
realized, and abilities not developed in this life can be brought to light and
explored.
The value
of getting in touch with past lives is not only about learning who we once were,
but in rounding out or balancing out our personalities. We will come to realize
that we have lived many lives before and we will eventually return to
experience many more, this realization frees us from any fear of death we may
be harboring.
I don’t
recommend past life work to be done on a whim. It should be treated with
respect. Prepare yourself like you would for a ritual, take the time to
meditate and put yourself into the right frame of mind before you start the
actual past life work. Write out your work days before. Make sure you have all
your tools ready, candles, music, incense, oils, etc. Make sure you will not be
disturbed during this time.
I also
think it is important to not go into past life work with any preconceived
notions of what you think your past lives were like. Try to let the images come
to you without influencing them. Only then will you be able to accept what you
see fully and know that you are seeing what needs to be seen, not what you wish
to see.
Below I
have included some chants, spells, recipes, and meditation tips to get you
started on your journey to past life exploration. I wish you a journey filled
with enlightenment.
Bright
Blessings,
Katherine

Spell
To Remember a Past Life
Items
Needed:
1 white
Candle, 1 mirror, yourself
Set the
candle next to the mirror so the light from it can hit your face but not see
the candle in the mirror.
Turn off
the lights and sit in front of the mirror.
Once
comfortably seated, look into your eyes and say these words:
"Oracle of lunar light, Send me the second sight"
Stare
into your eyes and allow them to relax naturally. Do not however allow your
eyes to close. Your reflection will dissolve and another will appear. Try to
look at the face, body, clothing and surroundings. After you do this, you will
have emotions that you can not explain. Don't worry; they will go away in a few
minutes.
You may have
to say these words a few times and stare into your reflection for a while.
Remember to concentrate.
I also
came across a nice site which gives information on using crystals with your
past life workings. Crystals
release a frequency that is effective for past life meditations.
On her
website, Judy Hall gives detailed information on which crystals to use for the
particular past life work you are attempting. Her site can be found here:

Past
Life Meditation
1.
Sit
in a comfortable position, one that you can sustain for about 30-45 minutes.
2. Close your eyes and take in a deep
cleansing breath. Fill your lungs to their fullest capacity. Then release the
breath through your mouth and push all the air out of your body. Take in 3 deep
breaths through the nose, imagine the white light from the universe coming into
your lungs and collecting at your solar plexus.
3. With all 3 exhales, imagine all
the stress, anxiety and negativity you have leaving your body and carried out
to the universe on a gray smoke where it can be dissipated and no longer do
harm to anyone. As you exhale, imagine the events of the day or week floating
out of your body. Put these worries aside and begin to relax your entire body
and mind. Feel the tension in your muscles begin to subside. Begin at your
solar plexus and imagine the white light moving up and down your body from this
point. Imagine the warmth of the energy as it passes through your muscles and
organs. Feel the tingling sensations as the light moves down to your toes and
up your body to the top of your head. Imagine your entire body engulfed by this
white divine light, from the inside out.
4. Say a prayer once more asking your
guides and teachers to come to you and to help with the purpose of this
mediation. State your intention clearly and ask the Great Spirits (your
God/Goddess) to help you with your meditative journey. Don't forget to thank
them up front for their efforts.
5. This step takes a little practice,
don't worry if you can't do this for any extended period of time, but at least
give it a try. Keep your eyes closed, but look up at the pituitary gland. This
is a small gland located in the middle of your forehead, just above the brow. (This
is also considered to be the position of your third eye and is therefore the
gateway to higher conscious realms). Try to keep your eyes focused on this
point. The muscles around your eyes may become sore as you stretch them upward,
so don't over do this at first. As you practice, this step will become easier
and easier to do.
6. As you focus on your third eye
imagine you’re at the base of a tunnel, dimly lit and slanting upward. Imagine
your astral body (or your soul) standing up from your physical body and begin
to walk toward and into the tunnel. See the lights on the walls and the texture
of the floor as you walk through the tunnel. Imagine yourself moving upward.
7. Just a head of you, about 100
yards, you see a set of glass doors and through those doors you can see a
brilliant white light. You feel in your heart that this is the light of the
universal consciousness, of the Divine. A feeling of Peace, calm, protection
and knowledge fills your insides. With each step closer, you feel more relaxed
and at peace, you feel uplifted and connected to this universal energy.
8. As you approach the doors, they
automatically open and invite your soul into this realm of enlightenment.
Beyond the doors your spiritual sanctuary awaits.
9. Go inside; sit in the center of
your sanctuary. State your purpose for this visit to your spiritual sanctuary.
It will be important for you to ask your Spirit Guide to come and help you
during this session. Tell them what you need and how you would like them to
help you.
10. When you're ready imagine yourself
(your higher self) conducting a spiritual meditation. Feel yourself becoming
more relaxed, going deeper into you spiritual realm. Imagine seeing and feeling
your higher self, taking in the cleansing breaths and this time, imagine your
spiritual body rising out of your higher self body.
11. Your spiritual body floats through
your sanctuary to a bookcase you hadn't noticed before. Each book on the case
is a volume of a past life. There could be hundreds or thousands or more. How
many are there, isn't important. See and feel your spiritual body moving to the
book case and taking one volume off the shelf. As you carry the book back to
the center of the room, see your spirit merge back into the image of your
higher self. Once you have rejoined these two energy bodies, imagine your
higher self opening your eyes. (Don’t open your eyes in reality; you are seeing
your higher self in your sanctuary. This type of visualization helps to keep
you in a deep meditation which is needed to access your personal akashic
records).
12. As your higher self looks at the
book take note of its cover. What it's made of, are there any decorations, or
lettering on the cover. When you're ready, open the book and examine the pages.
What do you see? Turn each page and read about yourself, or see the various
images of yourself in a past life. Make a mental note about what you see so you
can bring it back with you.
13. When you have concluded your
visit, make sure you thank your guides and or God(s) for their help.
14. Imagine yourself approaching your
sanctuary entry way, sitting on a pedestal by the door is a small object. Pick
it up and examine it. Make note of what it is, place it in your pocket and then
leave.
15. Pass through the glass doors and
heading back down to your meditative space. Imagine your soul walking through
the door to your room, and seeing your physical body right where you left it.
As your soul steps back inside your physical body, all the visions sensations
and answers you received merge with your physical brain and are automatically
stored into your conscious mind.
16. Take in a deep breath, begin to
feel your body, become more and more aware of your surroundings, have a nice
long and hard stretch and then open your eyes.
Record
Your Experience
The last thing you should do before you get up from your
meditative spot is to record this event either on tape or in a journal. It's
important to do it right away while the images, feelings and sounds are still
clear in your mind. Record as much detail as you remember. Don't try to
decipher images or figure out significant connections until you're done. Make
note of what you saw, then go back and think about why it was there for you.
When you've recorded the detail, think about how this
lifetime you discovered affects this current embodiment. Re-read what you wrote
and you'll find a lot of hidden meanings that you didn't notice when you were
writing or when you were in your sanctuary. Try to include names, places,
cloths, feelings (that's important), what you feel the purpose of that lifetime
is in this embodiment. All these things you should be able to get from reading
your book.
The last thing you want to record is the description of
the object by the door. This was your gift to you for your visit. And will tell
you something about your experience in the sanctuary for this particular
journey. It's a nice way to give yourself a message each time you enter the
structure. So you might want to d this every time you leave.
Good luck, and don't worry if you can't accomplish this
the first time. Don't be hard on yourself. Just keep practicing

I wanted to add that I have read
and practiced thousands of guided meditations and while I have not attempted
this one personally, I do think it is a well-written and thought out
meditation. I would love to hear from anyone who tries it. As always, you can
of course write to me personally if you do not feel comfortable adding it
publicly.
I love hearing from all!
Bright Blessings,
Kat
