Occult Book Reviews

Are you familiar with the idea of past life regression? As more people come to accept the idea of reincarnation, many are interested in the idea of going back over their past lives to find out more about themselves.

If you would like to try past life regression, the best first step is to keep a journal of your past lives. This journal will be your workbook as you put together the pieces of your former lives. It can contain any of the thoughts and emotions which you see as being out of context in your present life as you know it; even the seemingly most trivial of things can actually be important clues. Your emotions are an especially strong indicator. If you have any fears which seem irrational to you or you are inexplicably drawn to certain places or things, these are likely to be very important details.

Your past lives journal can begin with a list of things which you like and those which you do not. These could include particular cuisines, cultures and places that you feel some sort of a bond with. Really, any details about what makes you the person you are is relevant and should be written down here. Talents, personality traits; anything which can help you make sense of your past lives and your present life belongs here and can help you to spot patterns indicative of a past life.

You should also write down any details from your dreams which seem relevant. As you do this though, remember that your dreams will also contain a lot of things which are drawn from your life in the present.

Or you could try past life regression.

You may have to go see an experienced past life regression therapist. These therapists are skilled in taking you through a regression step by step and then helping you to interpret what you have gathered from this experience. To accomplish this, the therapist will use hypnosis. However, self hypnosis may also be an option.

Meditation is another technique which is used to learn about past lives.

Many of us find it difficult at first to experience a past life regression through meditation. Since we are aware that our minds can play tricks on us and often skeptical about the idea of regression, it is not uncommon to have to learn to overcome your tendency to disbelieve yourself.

If you are new to the practice, meditation may feel much like daydreaming; but the images and other information receives about past lives as you meditate can be accurate and valuable. You should write down everything about your experience in your past lives journal so you can compare this against the rest of your notes.

Many people find meditation aids like a mandala or other focal point, incense, music or other accompaniments to be helpful. There are also recordings you can use including water sounds and other soothing audio, as well as guided meditation tapes.

Then there are binaural beats.

Binaural beats are an audio technology which uses certain frequencies to attune your brainwaves to achieve a deep state of meditation in a short time. Whether you choose this or another aid to your meditations, you do need to select a quiet place to meditate which is free of distractions. Lie down or sit and get comfortable, keeping your thoughts positive as you relax your body.

You need to relax your muscles and clear your mind. When one of those thoughts of your everyday concerns comes through, simply acknowledge it and move on. It may take several tries before you can successfully meditate, but you will get there – and the answers to your questions about past lives may start coming to you.

Using past life regression techniques can also assist you in dealing with problems you have in the present day. Many people find that they have had the same people around them in more than one lifetime; the past may hold clues to managing interpersonal relationships in the present.

Reincarnation in some form or another is a part of many religious traditions. Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs all believe in the concept of Karma. To put this concept into the simplest possible terms, it is the principle that the actions you take in your present life determine the circumstances of your next life. Knowing more about your past lives can help you to live a better life in the present.

The most important thing is to come to this experience with an open mind. You have to be able to accept information and be willing to learn from your past in order to improve the way you live now.

Experts say that re-experiencing some of the events of a past life can be a powerful tool for overcoming mental blocks and giving you a better outlook towards your life and the world around you.

When you can deal with the problems of your past, you may be able to make positive changes by knowing where you have gone wrong in past lives and make better decisions in the present as a result. A regression can show you the way towards living a better life with a greater degree of kindness to yourself and others.

Another benefit of regression is that you may, as have many others, discover a talent you never knew you had! Seeing yourself doing something in a past life may be a clue to a talent you need only to bring out of its latent state to share with the world.

Past life regression offers a number of benefits to anyone who is willing to listen to what their own personal history has to tell them. As long as you approach it with an open mind, the results can be impressive.

Do you ever think about who you are during the past? If this thing enters your mind then you should understand that what you are thinking has something to do with the idea of reincarnation which is associated to some cultures of different nations who think that people at present times are connected to their past life.

All people have to deal with the idea of reincarnation at one or several points in life although there are those who would disagree with the issue. However, no matter how much they deny the belief of reincarnation, they can never regret that there are surely those times when they felt a sudden gush of connection to people or events that are totally unrelated to them. This explains past life. On the other hand, those individuals such as the historians and those who think that reincarnation is real would strongly suggest the idea that our past life offers a direct influence to the present situation.

It is not really important to discern the person that we are in the past but there are individuals who find the relevance in associating both events so they can better improve their personality. They can rightly make use of the lessons during the past in order not to repeat history and people should also be strong enough to face the consequences of their actions.

We are created as unique individuals but we can’t deny the sudden rush of intense of emotions in some events that we feel that we’re associated but in reality we are completely unrelated to the subject. These events might happen to you in your past life and there’s nothing to be afraid of. If you are haunted by your dreams and you can see events in the past that you can’t explain, it’s better to undergo self-hypnosis.

Self-hypnosis will help you feel relaxed thus the entry of thoughts flows easily. This exercise can help you have access with your past life. You will feel deeply relaxed as you go over with your memory and slowly explore past life regression. This will give you a better idea about your past life and will make a person understand what he needs to work on with his present life and the future.

Memories in the past might rush in your thoughts causing you to feel intense emotions. However, you need to handle everything smoothly and think of it that you are traveling back in time. You must take the privilege and act on it accordingly. If you think you set a bad example in the past then it’s time that you straighten and change that image into a good one.

It takes a brave heart to travel way back to your past life and conquer your fear in whatever your past life might reveal. Remember that you are living a different life now and it’s your turn to make everything right. If ever self-hypnosis allows you to unveil your past life, make sure to learn something from it or everything will be useless.

Don’t pressure yourself if you can’t make it to your part life. Stay relaxed and have a thought whether you’re reincarnated or not, you still have to live your life and take the right path. It’s always better to live a different from your past life but make sure that you’re living each day accordingly.

It is important that you approach the subject of reincarnation and past life belief with an open mind. Although the majority people in the West are conditioned from birth to believe that this life is ‘all you get’, there is increasing evidence to show that this is not the case.

Sure you may have heard about telepathy before, but do you know the meaning of the word? The easiest way to explain it is when you experience “feelings over a distance.” Simply put, it is when someone takes their emotions and transmits it to another without using any actions like hearing, touching, sight, words, or anything else.

We have been used to using language for such a long time that we find it hard to think of telepathy in the same way. However, there have been several scientists and animal trainers who are completely convinced that animals have the power of telepathy. While you would think this would be a crazy thought, they have amassed a huge amount of evidence to show this is true.

You will also hear about anthropologists who believe that many of the primitive tribes out there today can utilize this power. While it’s not easy to do, they have been able to harness the abilities of telepathy.

Even if you have never considered it before, the truth of the matter is that telepathy is just a different language that can be taught and learned. We already acknowledge those who can’t speak correctly or read as well as others, so we should also help those who can’t develop their telepathic power. However, it is possible for everyone to develop them to a certain degree.

So knowing this, we have to believe that most of humanity has simply lost their ability to connect with the telepathy that the mind has an available. It should be as easy as the way to respond to music and your other five senses.

Would you believe that telepathy is linked to your sixth sense? Well it is and you may hear some refer to it as the third eye. Whatever name you have for it, telepathy should just come to be second nature.

Have you ever had a gut feeling come over you? Did it end up happening? Telepathy works in many different forms, and often times we miss it for a simple rush or just negative thinking. The problem is when it happens you find yourself wondering why you didn’t pay attention to your thoughts. Then again, there are positive times like a friend you haven’t heard from in a long time calls you within the same week you thought about them. It’s crazy to think about, but things like this happen all the time, yet we overlook them as mere coincidences, even though a mother/child power is accepted.

We can’t really pinpoint an exact time when the majority of humanity seemed to lose touch with telepathy, but it has a lot to do with not believing in its power. You often see this amongst many religious organizations like Christianity and Islam that believe this is a tool used by Satan and is simply demonic power.

Sometimes there is nothing you can do when fighting a religion. Many people believe that all the religions have so much power over our society that most people have been taught to put no faith in telepathy. This is because it’s believed that the Messiah, Savior, or Prophet has to the natural abilities to do something of this magnitude.

Do you ever wonder why this is so? A lot of it has to do with the powerful leaders of each religion. While we will say that there are true religious leaders, there are some out there that don’t want anyone else to have the power. Think of it as someone challenging you in your workplace. Do you want to acknowledge that they know more than you do? Of course not, which is why some religious officials do the same thing.

Then of course if it’s not religious talk, you can always turn to the scientific thoughts. Even though we do have open-minded scientists who believe in telepathy, there are some out there who think it’s virtually impossible. The thought behind it is that you cannot taste or touch it, nor numerically measured. Believing this only keeps the positive thoughts at bay.

However, the truth that surrounds this issue is that some scientists are deemed as prejudice. If they can’t feel the emotions themselves, then how are they supposed to accept it as something real? Then again, they understand that instincts can be felt, yet there is no problem accepting this into the world. Oddly enough, these are just as elusive as telepathy.

Some believe it could be that the scientists who oppose telepathy are simply jealous. After all, it doesn’t seem fair that someone could do something like this, which is why they don’t want anyone else to have them. So instead of branding something different, it is always considered an instinctive response.

This mystery may never be solved, but there are definitely different scenarios that could be true. Another version dates back to biblical times when the Tower of Babylon story came around. Even though the languages were brought about to migrate people, it could be the same for telepathy. Hopefully some day we’ll get a definitive answer.

Telepathy refers to a form of direct mind-to-mind communication between two people. Thoughts and feelings can be exchanged, using only the minds of the communicants.

All of us have latent telepathic abilities. This is something which most of us cannot use consciously, however; like any other skill, telepathy must be practiced. There are times when we use telepathy without even realizing it; but what of you could develop telepathy to the point where you could use it at will?

There is plenty of skepticism about telepathy, just as there is about any other less commonly used natural mental ability which humans possess. Think about a time when you have used telepathy; for example, I bet you’ve been in a great mood when you run into a friend who is feeling down. Even after speaking to him or her for just a minute, you start feeling these sad, depressive emotions yourself.

Its not what they were saying to you; not with their mouths, anyway. What has happened here is that you were telepathically receiving their emotions and feelings.

Studies have demonstrated that it is possible to access and activate the portion of the subconscious which is responsible for this ability. By focusing your thoughts on a specific person, you are then able to communicate with them telepathically.

Just like the use of language, telepathy has to be learned. As children, we learn spoken and body language from our parents. We learn by imitating these methods of communication; similarly, telepathy may be learned.

Of course, your parents probably never taught you to use your telepathic abilities, but this does not mean that you cannot use them. All it means is that you have not yet been taught how.

Here are some ways to develop the telepathic abilities which all of us are born with.

Mental-Muscle training

In much the same way as young children need to learn to strengthen their voice boxes and learn to control how their mouth moves as they learn to make words, youll need to learn to strengthen and control your telepathic muscles.

It is easiest to access the part of your brain which controls telepathic function when you are in a trance state. You can reach this state of deep relaxation by using relaxation techniques including meditation.

Learn to relax your mind so that you can reach your trance state easily. When you can reach this point, youve begun to train your mind to be controlled at will.

Focus

This can be difficult for many, it takes some practice to be able to stay focused while in a trance state. Practice by focusing on someone youd like to communicate with the next time you are practicing your relaxation techniques.

Imagine this person and project happy thoughts. Visualize the person receiving your happy thoughts and feelings. Maintain your focus for as long as you think it takes the person to feel the connection between you.

Then withdraw your focus completely. Its important to stop the contact so the person will feel the loss of communication, which will prompt them to re-establish the connection and contact you in return.

You should begin practicing like this individually so that when you start training with a partner you will have already laid the necessary groundwork to send and receive these mental transmissions.

Partner Practice

One of you should be the sender, the other the receiver. Start by sending simple thoughts, such as bright colors which will be readily recognized.

The receiver should have a pen and paper handy in order to write down anything which may be a telepathic communication.

At the end of each practice session, compare notes and see how many images and impressions are correct. The more practice you get, the more accurate your image reception will become.

The term ‘mental telepathy’ is misleadingly broad. It essentially means the direct communication of thoughts between people without using the basic five senses. There is a huge difference, however, between having a creepy feeling that someone is watching you and being able to pick the plans for a nuclear reactor out of an unsuspecting scientist’s mind. Mental telepathy covers a huge range of abilities from very basic to fairly complex. This article will attempt to explain the different levels of mental telepathy.

KINESICS COMMUNICATION:

If you are a parent who has tried to tell your kid or spouse something non-verbally by using your body language, eyes and facial expressions, then you would know what Kinesics or non-verbal communication is. In this form of non verbal communication almost everything can be said without speaking by merely using the eyes and expressions and body language. For this kind of communication you need to know the other person well in order to communicate effectively. Its most effective between parents, children, lovers and intimate friends.

Some can argue (with good reason) that this doesn’t count as mental telepathy, as the two people are using their senses to communicate (just not with sounds). Technically, this is correct. This doesn’t mean, however, that mental telepathy does not play a role. The fact that non-verbal communication occurs most successfully between people who are related (like family), or who have lived together for extended periods of time (like spouses) implies that their minds might be more attuned to each other than to strangers. On the other hand, one could argue that this merely means the two people know each other well enough to understand each others more subtle body language, or have created agreed-upon nonverbal signals to communicate.

EMOTIONAL TELEPATHY:

Through empathy it is possible to directly experience the emotions of others or connect on an emotional level. Putting yourself in another’s shoes’ and understanding how they feel is not something everybody is able to do. Training and practice can increase empathy. Imitating the emotions of others, even to the point of spontaneously laughing or crying is something actors and sociopaths can do everyday.

Most people have experienced ‘sympathetic pain’”feeling another person’s pain as if it were your own. For example, after witnessing someone close to you break their arm, you may experience an uncomfortable feeling or even an ache in your arm, even though you know it’s fine. Similarly, when someone close to you is experiencing an overwhelming emotion, such as joy, grief, or depression, you may feel an echo of the same emotion inside you. Finally, there is the phenomena of long distance empathy. In this case, a person suddenly knows”they FEEL it”that someone close to them is in danger, has been hurt, or is in pain, even though they are not near the person at the time.

Overactive imagination has been blamed by some psychologists and they feel other senses are being used, so it doesn’t count as mental telepathy. How would you explain the phenomena of long-distance empathy, when you are not in proximity to the person? This might explain the feelings experienced if you have sympathetic pain after seeing your child break his arm, however.

CONCRETE CONCEPTS:

This is the thought transference of concrete symbols and objects between two minds. Mental telepathy at this level must by necessity move beyond the regular five senses, and often requires a designated sender and receiver, intense concentration, training, and practice.

Here the principle is that simpler concepts are easily communicated. For instance an animal is more difficult to communicate than a shape or color.

Zener cards often used in mental telepathy test are an example of this principle. Simple, concrete black-and-white symbols (a circle, square, star, plus sign, and three wavy lines), gives even a random guess a 20% chance of being right. On the other hand, a shared, known, limited set of concrete symbols may increase the coordination of the thoughts between sender and receiver. A success rate of 50% or higher (which have happened) can not be explained away by simple statistics, but may indicate a level of mental telepathy, instead.

ABSTRACT COMMUNICATION:

Mental telepathy at this level involves abstract concepts like ideas or actions, which are more complex to communicate than colors and shapes. Telepaths rarely achieve this level, and lower success rates are indicated in experiments.

Telepathy shouldn’t be ruled out when it comes to animals that seem to communicate ideas to each other through non-verbal actions. Because animal brains lack prefrontal lobes, telepathy would probably not go beyond simplistic ideas such as hunger or danger signals, but many have seen two dogs look at each other and go running for an almost pre-decided location.

Some people feel that initially in the olden days man had the power of telepathy, which declined as language and man, evolved. Assuming this is true, and then right research can show us the right way to rediscover this lost skill.

However, there are some who feel that man may be able to develop ESP and telepathy and such psychic abilities in the near future. As man’s psychic powers grow it may be possible for the entire race to become telepathic in the future.

Was there ever a time that you wished you could decipher the personality of someone of figure out the mood swings of family or friends? How about a time where you have doubted a person’s truthfulness and honesty? If you answer to all these questions is a big yes, then an aura psychic reading is what you need.

The aura is an energy field that surrounds every object in the universe — humans, animals, places, things, etc. In simplest terms, the aura refers to the atmosphere around the body, a light around a person’s head, or a clear sense of a person’s mood. Auras come in different colors and are made up of seven auric bodies. These seven auric layers are the physical auric body, etheric auric body, vital, astral auric body, lower mental auric body, higher mental auric body, and the intuitive auric body. No aura is the same and the colors of auras change as emotions change.

There are many methods to do a psychic reading. One of the fastest and most intriguing psychic reading methods is aura reading. An aura psychic reading based on the information the psychic can perceive from a person’s aura. Since a person’s aura is the storehouse of information for a person’s character traits, strengths and weaknesses, your health conditions, among many others; the psychic will attempt to gather information from it. In a aura psychic reading, the psychic will then interpret the color of your aura and tell its significance to your past, present, and future. These are the five common aura colors and how they are interpreted in a psychic reading:

Red – the red aura is relevant to physical body, heart and blood circulation. In a psychic reading, a deep red aura indicates that the person is grounded and realistic and is also active and strong willed. On the other hand, a muddy red indicated anger. A clear red aura is interpreted in psychic reading as an indication of energy, sexuality, competition and passion; whereas a pinkish red aura indicates love, tenderness, sensitivity, sensuality, affection and purity. Other variations of the red aura color in psychic reading are: dark and murky pink which indicates dishonesty and immaturity; and the orange red aura color that portrays confidence and creativity.

Orange – an orange aura color relates to emotions and reproduction because orange is considered the color of vitality and vigor. Interpreted in psychic reading, a person emitting an orange aura is creative, adventurous, outgoing and energetic while on the other hand, an orange-yellow aura is the sign of a person who is intelligent, creative, organized and perfect.

Yellow – a yellow colored aura relates to the spleen and life energy. An interpretation for psychic reading will suggest that a yellow aura color indicates spirituality and positive attitude. This aura color also signifies hope and faith. There are other variations of the yellow color aura. These include the bright lemon yellow aura that indicates power struggle and fear of losing respect and power; the gold yellow aura indicating awakened spirituality in a person; and the brownish yellow aura which is the sign of a struggling student.

Green – a green colored aura relates to the heart and lungs. Psychic reading interpretations are as follows: an emerald green aura is that of a healer, a yellow green aura is one of a creative and talkative person, a muddy green aura is one which is jealous and hateful, and whereas a turquoise aura relates to someone who is sensitive and compassionate and could be a healer or therapist.

Blue – an aura that is bluish in color is a sign of a cool and calm person. In a psychic reading, a soft blue indicates peace and clarity; a royal blue aura is that of some one who is clairvoyant, or one who has new opportunity knocking; and a muddy blue auric color is someone who is scared of the future and scared of expressing and telling the truth.

Now we know that there is truth behind what they say that personality comes with colors. Are you curious of what auric colors your friends or you might have? If yes, seeking an aura psychic reading is a good idea.
