The second technique is called «Counting»


If the first technique is difficult for you to perform or you are unable to turn off the inner monologue, try the second technique based on number counting. In time with your breathing, start counting to yourself from 1 to 20. If at least one extraneous thought comes in the process of counting (and at first it is quite possible), start counting again and so on until the result is achieved. Then you may increase the score to 50 or more. As a result, you will achieve a state of inner silence that does not require any effort to maintain it. The same method is used to enter a lucid dreaming, a state between sleep and reality, which can be called a trance.


The third technique. The Gait of Silence


There is one more technique for stopping an inner monologue. It is suitable for those who do not have silence and privacy at home. Let's call it «Dynamic Practice».

It is necessary to find a corner of nature near your home where there are no large crowds of people. As a rule, for small towns these are: parks, gardens, arboretums, fields on the outskirts of the city. And if there are a lot of people walking in the parks in the middle of the day, then in the late afternoon, at dusk, you can always find a quiet corner. For residents of large cities, this can be a problem, because there are a lot of visitors in public parks. Then there is only one option – to go out of town, to the river or to the mountains. Set a goal to find such a place and it will definitely be found.


When you find your special place (a «power spot»), walk slowly, with your eyes half closed. After some time, when you find a comfortable walking rhythm, cross your eyes to the bridge of your nose and continue walking. You can also touch the roof of your mouth with the tip of your tongue. Through all these unusual actions, the inner dialogue in your head may naturally come to a halt. In addition to this method, you can apply the first technique, effort of will, while walking. After a couple of such exercises in nature, you will notice that the duration of stopping the internal monologue increases. After the walk, you will feel cheerful and refreshed, as if the world has infused you with new energy.


Summary: by practicing one of these techniques, or by applying them all at once, sooner or later you will be able to learn how to stop the inner monologue. Someone needs only a couple of days to get a tangible result, someone will have a result in a week, and there are those who will have to practice during a month. If you have an unbending intent, sooner or later you will stop the voice in your head that is used to commenting on everything, because this is just a habit, and through these simple exercises, we are creating a new habit of inner silence to successfully focus on our set tasks.


Now your consciousness is ready to move further along the path of self-knowledge and look into the mystery of your past birth.

Chapter 2. The practice of past life memories


1. Keeping a diary




To record what you will see when viewing past lives, you need a diary.

After a few months, it will be useful to go back to your records and re-read them. What was unclear at first will later form a whole picture in your head. Therefore, it is necessary to record events, names and dates, but it is even better to describe in detail everything that you have seen and remembered.


Returning later to your diary entries, you will be able to get answers about the purpose of your life, your destination, how to make the right choice and which way to go to achieve happiness and wealth in all its senses.


How to keep a diary?


All our actions, beginning with stopping the inner monologue and ending with recording the memories of past lives viewed, must be treated with impeccability. Any business can be done by half or haphazardly and then there will be no result. You can make an effort and perform your actions perfectly, that is, use one hundred percent of the available force. But there is another approach to solving any problem – to act not by fifty or one hundred percent, but by a thousand percent, that is, to constantly surpass oneself. This is called the impeccable action. Then the result is guaranteed.


So, we will also approach the keeping a diary with impeccability. If you are busy at work or involved in personal problems, then there is always a desire to do everything in a hurry and not pay attention to details. But in this case the magic is lost, and you again do everything in your life the way you did before: according to a habit.


However, what you have at the moment is the result of your actions in the past.


If you still haven't remembered your past lives, it means that you have not acted impeccably, thus not having the right result of your actions. Now you need to explore a new approach. It will be possible to use it not only for meditation or memories of a past life, but also in any business, starting with relationships with people, ending with a career in society. It is necessary to see more opportunities than you have seen before, this is what gives impeccable attention. In fact, there are always various opportunities around us, the main thing is not to pass them by being inattentive.


How to find your diary for entries


To find your diary, browse through the stores and take in your hands a few copybooks or notepads. Whether they are expensive or cheap doesn't matter; what's important is that the copybook should appeal to you and evoke pleasant feelings. When you feel that it's the right copybook (notepad) for you, and you enjoy holding it in your hands, go ahead and confidently make the purchase.


When memories should be recorded


It is necessary to write down memories immediately after the session, because after fifteen to thirty minutes some of the memories are lost. What is the reason for this? This happens because your consciousness, plunging into a past life, metaphorically speaking, works at a different speed, perceiving pictures of the world much faster. This is also the case with a dream: you wake up, remember your dream in details, but after an hour or two only general impression remains of it. This means that you are short of the speed of perception. Therefore, it is better to write down everything in hot pursuit.


How to keep a diary


Keeping a diary is a simple matter: write down the date and then describe what you have seen during the session. Write nicely and legibly to be able to easily re-read what you have written. Your diary should not resemble lectures recorded by a negligent student saving notebook sheets. When your diary is over, buy another notebook and keep writing. Sometimes the liaisons between events becomes visible only after six months or even more.


We are often asked if it is possible to share memories of past lives with family and loved ones? If there is a person in your inner circle who is able to take your stories seriously and without criticism, it is quite possible to tell what you think is necessary.

In fact, practice shows that if such understanding people are around, sooner or later they will join you in searches of the main questions and answers of their life, and will begin to apply techniques of recalling past lives.


To walk along the spiritual path in a couple with your beloved one is the greatest happiness, besides, it may turn out that in this life you live together for a reason. Then telling each other about your past lives will help you to better understand the long-ago events and their effect on this life and on the attitude towards your beloved ones. Sometimes the effect of such memories is similar to the situation when a blind person starts to see light. Even not very joyful events of past lives will lead you to an understanding of the problems of the current life.


And, as you know, understanding the problem is already fifty percent of its solution!


Warning


Don't talk about your unique experience with people who are skeptical about the possibility of past lives. Distrust and mockeries, with which people shower everything unknown and incomprehensible, can lead to unnecessary conflicts. Remember the tragic story of Copernicus! History clearly shows that there have always been people telling the truth ahead of their time, which only descendants could appreciate. But society did not always welcomed the great prophets.

Someday, society will be ready to embrace the ideas and practices of past life experiences and will seriously consider the therapeutic potential of this practice on human consciousness from a medical and scientific standpoint. But until those fortunate times arrive, try to avoid unnecessary conflict with those who do not believe in reincarnation.


2. Blocks in consciousness and ways to eliminate them





Possible blocks and their elimination


There is one more point that needs to be clarified before getting started to the technique of recalling past lives. These are the main questions that beginners ask themselves.


Will I be able to do it?

Will I be able to recall anything at all?

Are these exercises dangerous?

Should a person delve into their own subconscious?

Do these practices violate divine or universal laws?

Will there be any punishment for attempting to uncover those layers of knowledge that are not supposed to be touched?

How dangerous is immersion into trance, what if I get stuck there forever?


Such concerns and questions can arise quite frequently. Fear is bred by thought patterns instilled in us by society from childhood. Often, people don't trust themselves, their own thoughts, feelings, or the impulses of their souls. All of this creates unnecessary blocks in consciousness that only slow down the process of recalling past lives. If you don't have such questions and you are confident in yourself or have already engaged in practices of remembrance and meditation, you can confidently skip the text below and proceed directly to mastering the unique techniques provided in this course.


If you still have doubts, then read the lines below, which are dedicated to myths about past lives and their debunking in the form of frequently asked questions and answers.


Attention! If you are a deeply religious person and the very idea of interfering in the «Divine Providence» offends you, we strongly recommend that you refuse to take this course.


3. Myths about past lives


Let's analyze myths and fictions about past lives in the form of questions and answers. We collected and wrote down these questions while dealing with recollection of past lives in the spiritual self-development group.





Question: I won't be able to remember my past lives, because I am a common person, I am not a medium and I do not have special talents. It will take me many years of practice to recall.


Answer: Each person keeps memories of past lives in the depths of their subconscious, it is only necessary to find a way to them. You don't need to be someone special, you just need to have an unbending intent. Everything is actually much simpler than it seems. Pictures of past life usually appear already at the first session of recalling, if you follow the instructions of this course exactly.


Question: Interference in the subconscious of a person is dangerous, since it is not given to us from birth. If we learn something forbidden, we will violate the will of God or the universe.


Answer: Not everything is given to us from birth, we learn a lot by repeating the actions of our parents. If our parents remembered past lives, they would have taught us this, as they taught us to walk, talk, read, etc. In society, little attention is paid to such issues, and therefore the very idea of previous lives seems fantastic.


But now the time has come – this is called spiritual progress. If the universe were against it, no one would never ever remember past lives, but there are tens of thousands who remembered, this number includes the authors of this course.


Question: Trance and deep meditation are a dangerous game with our subconscious, we may go crazy and not return to reality.


Answer: By immersing themselves in a light trance, people remember where they are, who they are and what they are doing at the moment. They can easily return to reality if the session needs to be abruptly terminated. During our course, any sharp deviations that threaten mental health are completely excluded, because you control the whole process yourself.


People in everyday life often deal with more than one reality at one and the same time. Have you ever, for example, written an essay or prepared a term paper while listening to loud music or watching a series on TV? Doing that, you perceive three realities at the same time.


The first reality: you are trailing the content of your work that you're thinking about. For example, you are immersed in the history of France, envisioning the kings of the 17th century. The second: your thoughts about yourself. Perhaps in that moment, you're thinking about how great it would be to quickly finish your work and go out with friends. And finally, the third reality: it's the movie playing on the TV, which you hear in the background and can even follow the events happening on the screen. This is a simple example where a person's consciousness perceives three different worlds without experiencing any imbalance.


Remember: every night you transfer your perception into a dream reality, which is characterized by a shift of perception much deeper than trance, but at the same time you easily return to your real life every morning. There exist protective mechanisms in the human body that do not allow you to move deeply into other realities and stay there forever. Our consciousness, like a ball on an elastic band (Yoyo ball), always returns to its original state. Nevertheless, the authors of this book do not advise people with mental disabilities or those who are in a prolonged depression to study this course.


Question: If I see my past deaths, I will experience incredible suffering.


Answer: This is a very persistent block in consciousness, but it easily dissipates in practice. We all died and were reborn many times on Earth, and some people on other planets. Our spirit remembers that we are eternal beings, and therefore the fear of death dissipates. Reviewing past lives can cause a slight sadness, as it happens at the end of a melodrama movie, but it should not seriously affect your feelings. At the end of the course, we give some techniques to weaken the effect of negative factors which may arise when recalling past lives.


If you have read all these detailed answers but still hesitate, start your amazing journey into the past with reviewing your childhood first. Having mastered the techniques of memories, you will be able at first to slip through the time tape into the past of your current life and remember its main moments and important events. Then, after making sure that nothing dangerous is happening to you, feel free to move on to recalling past lives.


 4. Shamanic Practice «The Cave»


Northern shamans enter into a trance in order to communicate with spirit helpers in the Middle World, which is the world of humans on Earth. In their practice and meditations, they pursue different objectives not related to past lives. However, this same practice can be effectively used for recalling past lives or reviewing events from your childhood.





Where to start


To begin a session, you will need solitude, meditative music, and initial skills in turning off the internal monologue. In the first session, there is no need to set grand objectives or pre-compose a list of many questions (more on that will be discussed in the next chapter). It will be enough to focus on mastering the technique and achieving results. If you don't succeed the first time, don't be discouraged. Remember, you didn’t learn to read and walk at once, it occurred only after you made significant efforts. The same principle applies here: the more you practice, the better the results will be. However, typically, most individuals at once enter into the recollection of their past lives.


So, plan viewing a certain past life. This may be the previous life before the current one, the first on Earth, or the most significant one. Give a task to your subconscious. Get ready to see pictures from another life and remember as much as possible from what you will see.


Practice


Suppose you have chosen the previous life before the current one, and are ready to plunge into a light trance. Now take a comfortable position, sitting or lying (your back should have support). If it's noisy around, put on headphones with meditative music, but do not turn it on too loudly. You may use a recording of a shamanic tambourine.


You should sit or lie in a comfortable position. Shamans use the «non–doing» during practice; that is, they put on some unusual clothes to show the spirit that they are in an altered state of consciousness. For the first session, you can also put, for example, a bandana on your head. Any unusual action helps the attention to concentrate, which generally facilitates the practice. But you can dispense with it. It's also good to use crystals that you can hold in your hand while traveling into the past.


Entering the shaman's cave


Close your eyes and listen to the music or the silence around you. Stop the inner monologue. At this moment, you should neither think about everyday things nor mentally comment on anything that is happening. Now imagine a cave in the mountain. It may be a real cave that you've seen before, or one made-up by yourself; this does not matter. The cave is a secret entrance to your subconscious. If you see only one cave, then you have managed to open one entrance so far, but it may turn out that there will be several caves in front of you, each of which leads to a past life. This implies that your subconscious mind offers you a choice.


Look around: What do you see? What does the place where your cave is located look like? Look up at the sky, and then look down. What is around? Is it day or night outside? It may be a forest, a desert, or even a city around you. Afterwards, you will always use this entry point. You should be cozy and comfortable In this place, and you also should understand that it is absolutely safe here, only you are in this space. No outsider may appear here without your consent. Shamans in their practices call for helpers, spirits of trees or animals with whom they got acquainted before, but this is not necessary to view past lives. Your higher Self, your spirit, is quite capable of independently penetrating into the secrets of previous births.

Now pay attention to the cave itself and consider it in more detail: it is narrow or wide, what its edges look like, and if there are any other caves nearby. If there are several of them, choose the one you like the most and enter this cave. If it is narrow, maybe you will have to crawl inside on your knees instead of walking; this does not matter. Move forward, examining the cave itself at the same time. Inside, it can be a narrow manhole or a very wide one equipped with stairs. Farther, there may be anything at all: an elevator, a modern room, a long corridor, even a metro station. In any case, it will be an image of space, a road along which you will enter another world.

While passing through the cave, announce mentally your goal once again: «I intend to see my last past life.» Now look for an exit from the cave leading to another world. Usually it looks like a light-color tunnel or an opening to the outside. Pass through it.


You got into the memory of your past life


Take your time, look around: you will see a certain landscape. It could be anything: a forest, a city, mountains with a lake, a street in a metropolis, a ship at sea, and so on. If you see a city or a forest in the distance, head towards it. You can walk there, or you can fly since you are a light spirit. If it's a forest, follow the path, your subconscious will tell you where to go. Once in a place, you will see the figure of a person, it will stand out among others, if there are several of them. You may not see a face right away, but some details will come into view, such as hair, clothing, or a vehicle (car, ship or horse). Try to remember as many details as possible.

If something distracts you during the session or an unnecessary stream of thoughts appears, try by an effort of will to return to the place where you have met your last incarnation.


The first acquaintance


The first thing to do is to ask the question, «What is your name and who are you?» Often, you will only hear the name without a surname or you may not even understand in which language your past incarnation is speaking. This is a normal process, and you can obtain more specific information in subsequent sessions. If you don't receive an answer, try to consider the person's face, and transforming into a weightless spirit penetrate the head of this character.

Now ask the same question while being inside your avatar. Here, the answer may not come in words but as immediate knowledge. Once you learn the name, inquire about the person's occupation, the city they live in, and the time period they exist in. The answers may not come right away, but you will be able to look at the surroundings through the eyes of your past incarnation and identify the location. For example, the appearance of the buildings can indicate that it is a city in Europe from a past century.


Reviewing significant moments of a past life


Now that you have become acquainted, you can ask to be shown the most significant moments of your life. Mental images will begin unfolding before you. Do not be frightened or exit the session. Remember firmly who you are now and no matter what your memory reveals, all of that has long passed. Significant moments may include birth, death, the passing of loved ones, encounters with beloved ones, entering an educational institution, the birth of children, emotional events at work, and so on.


Returning


For the first time, it is enough to review a few of such moments. If you feel tired or have the desire to return, leave the area and make your way back to the entrance of the cave. The return journey may take significantly less time than the appearance, and this is normal.

You will find that you are not walking along a path but flying through the air or suddenly find yourself near the entrance of the cave. Now, make your way back, enter the cave, and move towards the exit leading back to your world. When you successfully exit the cave and see the exact spot where your journey began, conclude the session, open your eyes, and turn off the music.


You may be overwhelmed by the emotions of what you have seen, or you might be shocked by the realization that it is all true and that you can easily see your past life. Grab a pen and write down in detail everything you have seen and felt. It's important to write down even the smallest details. Keep your diary nearby, so you can record everything you have seen in hot pursuit.


After the session


After the session, you may experience doubts about the experiences and pictures of your past lives. Thoughts may arise that all this is fiction, fantasy. However, believe that in a trance state, even a light one, with the internal monologue turned off, a person can hardly be subject to pleasant fantasies. There is a high probability that you may see a life that is not joyful and certainly not what you expected in your rosy fantasies.
