Possibility of trauma in the past

[Merr]

Hi. I'm new to the board and have recently become interested in past lives. I've tried past life regression and have some impressions of being a child who may have witnessed something traumatic but I can't get clear images. Any advice would be great, thanks. Anyone else experience something like this?

Yes Merr I have many clear memories of traumatic events from my past lives. I witnessed my parents being murdered by Civil War soldiers on our farm in Kentucky. That trauma has followed me into my present life, as well as WWII growing up in Germany. I think that if you discover what the specific event was that caused your trauma, it may help you to understand yourself better in your present life. I was able to recall past life events by puttinig myself into a semi-consciouss state, resting, not thinking about anything, making my mind a total blank. This will not work for everyone, and if you really want to find out what your trauma was, it may be necessary to consult a professional therapist.

Thanks for replying to my post Ghost. I have tried this a few times and I am currently in the process of learning to meditate. However, thoughts intrude. I managed to go into a fairly deep state of relaxation when listening to a CD which helped me, but couldn't seem to get further. It seems as though I just need to relax and not try too hard.

Hi Merr, welcome to the forum


Maybe you are trying to run before you can walk? Why don't you forget about past life memories for now, and just spend a period of time, say a few months, learning how to quiet your mind using a few simple relaxation techniques. The past life images will come when you are ready
