The harvest moon that has just passed left in its wake a trail of messages and images that will probably take another month to decipher. The past life workshop that I attended earlier in the year gave me a taste of travelling to the past, and experiencing former lives.
During deep meditation over the weekend I experienced a spontaneous regression, and flood of imagery associated with a past life. the only pre-requisite to this experience was controlled focus of the breath, using the four-fold breathing technique taught in the Western Mystery Tradition.
There is a great deal of information written about accessing Akashic Records and Past Lives, and some of it is misleading in the sense that it glamorises what is essentially a phenomena which allows the mind to experience past, present and future simultaneously.
Could it be that the only obstacle to our experiencing total awareness is the blind of "waking consciousness" which obliterates those channels of perception that we use during "sleeping consciousness" , so that our focus is on our earthly surroundings?
A great many people are now exploring their "inner world" and bringing more of their "sleeping consciousness" through into their waking world. Not only does this deepen life experiences, but it also acts as a catalyst to remembering why they chose to incarnate at this time.
Being born into this reality means forgetting the plans that were made, and the reason for the incarnation, and some people never remember this choosing to remain locked into the sensory pleasures of life.
We all have a reason for being, and whether or not we choose to remember lies with each individual. When the student is ready... the teacher will appear!
