Past Life Regression Sessions (Retrocognitions)

Ghandi called it "nature's kindness" that we don't remember our past iives. Yet, before Siddhartha reached enlightenment under the Bodhi tree (and historically became known as the Buddha), he achieved retro-cognitive powers, in other words, he remembered his past existences. Some spiritual traditions (notably those of the non-religious kind) hold it essential that at a certain point of conscious evolution, we become aware of our "karmic" heritage. 

However, when is that "certain point"? When is remembering past lives no longer a burden or a waste of time, but becomes an evolutionary tool?
Usually, it comes when your consciousness reaches a level of maturity, which is indicated by the following circumstances:

"Past-life therapy is not for the narrow-minded or skeptical, but for the already partially awakened spiritual  traveler who is ready to embrace the reality of spirit guides and the existence of other dimensions and other worlds, and who is unafraid to explore consciousness in all of its unlimited varieties and  forms." (Ernest Pecci)

​☼ you are earnestly beginning to search for your life's purpose

​☼ you are no longer preoccupied with worldly concerns (such as making more money, becoming more beautiful, powerful or famous)

​☼ when you develop a sincere desire and intent to assist others OR

​​☼ you have received a wake-up call. (That can be a near-death experience, a meaningful dream or any other altered state of consciousness indicating that a past life memory wants to emerge. It can even be a strange symptom, like the feeling of being in the wrong body, the wrong gender or having a disability, even though you don't.)

When retrocognitions are attempted at the right time, under the right circumstances, they provide an invaluable tool for personal growth and evolution. Yet, it is important to know that this is the "hard road" to self-discovery: the common cliche that regressions allow for some fanciful escape from reality, simply doesn't hold up. Nobody tends to end up experiencing a past life as a glamorous historic figure, like Cleopatra or Napoleon, usually not even as a particularly spiritual or likable person. (Our consciousness is evolving, hence your present personality IS your most evolved "version," going into the past means encountering less developed personalities.) Therefore, retrocognitions are very similar to "shadow-work," it forces us to encounter our darkest and most repressed parts. Once the work is done, however, the rewards are great.

This is what is likely to happen as a result of retrocognitions:

​☼  egotistical personality structures fall apart (we experience that we are not perfect, but have a tremendous potential for growth),

​☼ we give up the victim mentality (in past life session we experience ourselves sometimes as victims, sometimes as aggressors, and learn that such roles are "relative," what matters is the lessons we learn),

☼ we integrate our shadow parts (this is the hardest, yet most rewarding bit),

☼ we become increasingly tolerant towards others (as we see that we ourselves have committed the mistakes, others are now committing),

☼ and as we see the patterns of our past, present and future potential unfolding, we become increasingly aware of our live's purpose and mission. 

As Richard Bache said,  "when we look at the rhythms of life through reincarnationist yes, the chaos that surrounds us changes into a symphony of exquisite complexity and beauty."
