How to recall past lives (reliably)

Memory is an uncertain storage. Just thinking back a week can be difficult, let alone recalling something from a past life. However, it can be done, but there is more than enough room for error to consider this an exact science. Knowing something of the said life helps, but it can also mislead memories. Also, trying to recall past lives in itself is a precarious trick, as wanting to remember something creates a lot of motivation for the imagination to flourish. However. I’ve got some tricks.

1. Become aware that you want to remember a past life or several. That is usually enough done, as from here on in your spirit will guide you.
2. Don’t expect to recall anything on the spot, but allow the memories to appear on their own. Just a light awareness of your wish to remember is enough.
3. When you come across something from history, that gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling of familiarity, try and gently remember where you’d seen this before, or where were you when this thing happened/was popular etc.
4. Remind yourself what it feels like to remember what porridge tastes like. Remembering back to a past life is not very different. Don’t over-stimulate your brain, just allow it to remember. Don’t force it or push too hard. That only creates false memories and ignites the imagination.
5. Compare results to what you KNOW to be a real memory. They shouldn’t be all that different. No “film” version should happen of your own life at least.

Don’t worry if

If you have a strong feeling that this life somehow relates to you, don’t scold yourself if things don’t match up instantly. Allow the memories to arrive, and once you find yourself talking about the life as if it was OBVIOUS this is how it went, you’ve probably hit a real memory. I personally can be talking about a past life not really knowing where the memories come from, but feeling even indignation because the people I’m telling this don’t remember. I find myself holding my tongue thinking: “Why can’t you remember this? It is obvious this is the way it went…” Still, don’t worry if you don’t feel that way, I’m a base-level annoyed person. :p

Anyway, don’t worry if your memories don’t add up at once. I can only imagine in horror how I’ll remember this life. I’ve got so many overlapping “memories” on this lifetime of things that never took place, due to my spiritual explorations, but on top of that.. All the movies I’ve watched! They’ll leave a memory imprint and an emotional imprint for sure.

Although we don’t change MUCH between lifetimes, don’t worry if you look a LITTLE different. There might be some reoccurring feature that follows you from lifetime to lifetime, in my case, apparently, a heavy wrinkle across my forehead – it’s always been there, even when I was quite young. Another one of my defining features is a rather large nose, together with a mid-part hairstyle that I seem not to have updated for some thousand of years. 😀

If you find yourself to be famous, a royal or similar. It is common for old souls to be interested in their past lives, and old souls have more than likely had some kind of an interesting past life memory. I’ve personally been quite legendary character often, but I can’t remember one lifetime I’d been a royal. I know I’ve been a lady, but never a royal. I know why: I think it would suck to be a royal! I’ve suspected one queen to have been me but I also don’t think so, it’s just that her relationship to her sister seems familiar, which leads me to another point.

Questionnable memories

There are signs of a false memory.

Most commonly: you’re looking at yourself from a 3rd person perspective, rather than looking at the world from between your ears.

You don’t recall what happened before or after the scene that you remember.

You may have strongly identified with a famous person and created an alt ego already in that lifetime, like being a Marilyn Monroe fan would inspire you to dress like her and act as much like her as possible.

You see yourself as an ENTIRELY different kind of a person than what you are now. Very unlikely. Past lives are like movie roles played by a bad actor, you are still you in a different setting.

You can’t identify any of your friends in the documentation about that person. You should identify most people surrounding them from your current life. (If you check photos or such from that lifetime).

Good signs of “a match”

Dates seem familiar, such as birthdays and date of death. Such as I was born on the 27th March, and my previous incarnation was in love with a married woman, whose dates of birth and death are 30 March and 27 November. My actual incarnation died March 20th, and was born during the same time I have another strong FEELING of having been famously murdered in London. Not all of my memories are literal, but rather FEELINGS that this was me. Other people in the memories are recognizable to me, or make otherwise complete sense they were there. Some of them photograph EXACTLY like their current incarnations, to the tilt of their head. 

I don’t know how many other soulmate groups do this, but we seem to be recycling our names. The names Anthony and Christian or Christopher reappear in several formats within our group of people, and other biblical names pop up as backup names when the firstborn is already an Anthony. Hence the reason I don’t feel ANY connection to my real name, never have, my name should be some form of Antonia or Maria, which is our first female backup name.

The main thing is to ALLOW memories to form

Remind yourself, that you want REAL memories, if they exist, and then, allow those memories to rise. Don’t ask for something you can PROVE, as much as something that is true, provable or otherwise. If you ask for something you can prove… Well, that doesn’t make it automatically true. Just like saying: “100% of people exposed to water have died”. Facts do lie, you see when you keep them vague enough.

Relax, allow the memories to come. If they don’t add up, wait a little longer a connecting memory may still be on the way. Sometimes you remember things in the wrong order, and by reconnecting the pieces everything makes sense again. Don’t expect a film, if you can’t recall your route to work as if it was a movie reel, don’t expect a memory of something that happened only once in your previous life to be clearer than that. Expect memories that are about as fuzzy as your earliest memories or something from your teens. Some memories are clearer, especially those you’ve recalled several times in that particular lifetime like if something particularly exciting happened to you so you would have told the story to a lot of people over and over and over, that memory is likely to stand out and to be easier to access than something more every day. That also explains why you’d remember life as a king easier than a life as a shoe salesman.

Now… There are also reasons why you wouldn’t allow yourself to remember… Right now. If that’s the case, just drop it. Not remembering doesn’t mean you didn’t live before this, or that you won’t remember, it’s just that sometimes it’s best not to know.
