Not sure what you mean by "possible past lives", but if you are interested in learning about your one special past life that is most significant to your current incarnation in order to understand better your present life's challenges and benefit from it on all levels you want - check out School of metaphysics at som.org
Here is the link https://som.org/intuitive-reports-offered/
SOM is one of the best in this field , many years ago they literally saved my twin brother's life providing him with exact information by  intuitive health report.
They have trained personal who can access your past/present vibrations to give you precise reading. I am personally not a big fan of past life data/regression for I feel that the less I know about it the easier and sooner I will learn how to handle this present life. The more we know the more we get confused. Anyways good luck with your exploration!!!.

I have finally watched the video and I liked it. I apologize my initial post was kind of out of context for I could not resist not to say something about self-healing because that is my favorite thing to do. I have been practicing energy healing(3 different modalities) for 10years and come to see that all of them work producing fantastic results with no limits .I do not like using word "miracles" regarding spontaneous recovery and remissions for I do see any client as a whole and pure "human" being before the session even starts and that allows me to relax into the process and to connect to the real healer( guess who) and then whatever is ready to unfold - unfolds. I would not say that mind is completely out of the process , but it's participation is minimal . There are many ways to open the self to any possibilities and realize our unlimited potential. As my teacher's  favorite quote goes" We are unlimited beings pretending to be limited in order to have this amazing experience we call life" . Using the power of mind is one of many amazing ways to learn to become more of who you are for eventually mind/body/energy integrated as one anyways. I prefer feelings as a starter. I never liked scientific approach in my spiritual/healing adventure so here I am. But my ex-wife , she is an integrative medical doctor and also a spiritual seeker , so she is going to enjoy this video a lot for she always goes study-understand-apply road. Thank you for posting this ,LB
You could make a great motivational speaker. The Pulse is lucky to have you here !!! And I can assure you that I do see and feel that in every human being there is a God's smile!

Self-healing is the hardest and the most advanced type of healing. Even the best energy healers usually ask their buddies to help them when got seriously sick. From my own experience and many other healers that I interacted with healing modality  whatever it is works nicely only if the healer is in good physical/mental/emotional state (or able to transcend beyond that which is super rare). I know only one healer
who is capable to heal himself with confidence. When you are in pain your physicality takes over and that is the reason behind self-healing problems. If we learn(remember) how to change/effect chemistry of the body using the mind/feelings there will be no need in healing, period, for we also be living our true selves . The concept of health and sickness will no longer be needed for from God/Universe/whatever you call it  perspective there is no such thing as imperfection. Well, I better stop here or it will take forever this topic is so massive and so interesting. Happy New Year dear friends!!!!

Merry Christmas Dear Friends !!!


The Master does his job
And then stops.
He understands that the universe
Is forever out of control,
And that trying to dominate events
Goes against the current of the Tao.
Because he believes in himself,
He doesn't try to convince others.
Because he is content with himself,
He doesn't need others' approval.
Because he accepts himself,
The whole world accepts him.

Tao Te Ching (Stephen Mitchell Translation)

Absolutely valid point! If it rings the bell go for it and see what happens. Because of my work , I would spend a lot of time sleeping on planes , trains , buses so I am used to be comfortable and do my meditation/AP practice on a go , it is actually more productive for it is away from your usual physical environment. In the end it is not physiology that decides how the energy flows , it is your intent - so take any position you like , set an intent and the rest will be taken care of !!!!

My sincere condolences over the death of your brother.
I can assure you that your brother is perfectly ok  but if you ask me how I know this
I will not be able to explain. I trust universe/reality/god (whatever you might call it) 100% and all I know that your brother is exactly where he is supposed to be , he died at the right moment not one minute sooner or later. Your brother is just fine , do not seek for the logical answer , our limited physical mind is not capable to handle this. Meditate on " God is everything, God is good. God is reality , reality is good. " To argue with reality is recipe for suffering and confusion.
Your brother maybe asking the same question about you now.
Do your part , accept what happened with clear mind and deep understanding that all is just the way it should be ! 

Peace and Love

The ability to play chess at Grandmaster level or beyond  like any other skill for that matter can be attracted. But you will have to do your part. Manifestation  works on many levels , for example to be good at chess you will need clear mind (which involves physical  brain) , patience and endurance (which involves physical body) , good memory , creativity, logic ,
great coach etc you name it. So the skill is not something abstract it just seems that way but in reality it is very physical.

These "magical" things happen to all of us all the time ! The only reason we do not notice(remember) them is we are so busy (and so serious)  with ourselves striving to get ,to become, to fix, to be loved etc  that we do not see stuff under our noses. The law of attraction is so widely misunderstood , I know bunch of people who have attended Abraham Hicks channeling (that had  introduced this law to the world) workshops many times and still keep missing the whole point of this law which is if you want to manifest something you need to become it ! In a nutshell the person who desires and the object that is desired become one. It requires you to feel with the same kind of dedication on one hand and the same kind of surrender/letting go on the other hand that we use for  successful AP practice.

Love and Peace

This is what my reiki teacher says :
"We have chosen to be physical in a physical universe. The important words here are chosen and physical. We had the choice to be non-physical but we decided against it, we wanted to experience being God through physical means.
Why therefore, having made this choice, should we then be trying to develop and experience these non-physical parts of ourselves? To us it just seems to be an unnecessary waste of energy to be focusing on something we have chosen, in the first place, not to be.
The same could be said of these people who spend their whole lives in continual meditation in some cave up a mountain in Tibet or somewhere.
Why are they doing it?
It would seem, to us, that these people - far from displaying profound spiritual understanding – are missing the point completely.
You have come to a physical universe to be physical, so BE physical.
Don't worry about all these other bodies and other planes of existence for now. They are there, and they are already a part of you. It can be no other way.
They will not disappear and your 'spirituality' will not suffer, even if you don't give them any energy at all. Far better, we think, to concentrate instead, on understanding physical life from a physical perspective.
It is, after all, the reason you came.
You see, there are too many people going around trying to be something they are not, out of a profound misunderstanding of who they are and why they are here.
They think that spiritual 'growth' has to be about withdrawing from life and that only by dedicating oneself purely to meditation, chanting, ritual, and prayer will it be possible for spiritual understanding and enlightenment to manifest itself.
Just know that none of this is necessary.
What is the point of struggling and striving to be what you already are. You already are fully enlightened for you are God. You just don't remember this fact yet, that's all. Chicara-Reiki-Do "

In the matter of treatment of so-called disease , the average metaphysician makes the mistake of dealing with the opposites , disease and health. Here are two conditions, the one to replace other. When you seek for perfection , know that it is established unto you. Exalt perfection. Perfection exists independent of both the opposites of health and disease. Perfection is an eternally established fact in principle and it is complete within itself on every so-called plane. Both health and disease are delusions according to Eastern Philosophy for they are only human concepts. For instance , your own idea of health today would not suffice you in five years from now for health is a relative idea in your own consciousness. There is nothing relative in Being , all is complete , all is perfect, and the true practitioner identifies himself with reality and does not deal with delusions.

Back in 2002 I married a woman with three kids (2, 4, 8 years old) , we lived happily / may be happily/ not happily , we raised kids together ,
got separated in 2011, I never regretted the experience , learnt many lessons , and infinitely grateful for these 4 souls have been in my life.
Intent??? IT did not matter. IT does not matter IT won't matter. Unless you are the master of intent(which means you know what you 100% want and how to give 100% of your attention and concentration to it) Which I believe is so rare on this planet , at least I have never met such a person(I am talking about love of course) . At best we have a strong desire to do/ achieve/ accomplish something that we understand at least and can relate to some data/experience . When it comes to love /intent/understanding  we are little children making first steps trying to come to see what all that means. I have been married 3 times , so I can speak from my experience. You may fall in love insanely and marry a woman with 3 kids and find yourself miserable after 2/3 months or you may marry someone out of compassion or pity (karma , spiritual growth , who cares) and falling in love later , or you just do it for whatever reason , the experience itself is invaluable and precious. I disagree with Xanth who said "Perhaps you have to make a huge mistake in your life at this point... who knows."  From my experience the biggest mistake one can make is to wait for the right intent or understanding . Only experience  can help you find your intent !

Byron Katie's work used to be  my favorite tool to deal with belief/fears/stressful thoughts
There are tons of ways to overcome fears. And there is only one (may be) way not to -
is to run away from it . My current experience is when you meet belief/fear/stressful thought
with open senses (all 5 of them) and give it a little time all confusion/illusion/untrue believes/thoughts
will go away. All illusion dissolves in the present moment. All you need to do is to feel.

Hello everyone ,
Astral Pulse is my favorite forum and i really enjoy and appreciate all posts and discussions made by experienced and novice equally, and I find it very beneficial and inspirational for my daily practice. Now , I am in a middle of something that requires some clarity , some real purpose to be defined in order to make sense why I am doing what I am doing.
Another words The practice of NP exploration if it lacks clear goal/purpose at some point comes to the stalemate ( unless of course you pick new goals/purpose as you move on , which is probably ideal) and then you slow down in your development and all complains about how you all of a sudden stopped projecting etc.
Of course you can read all wise books available and listen to all wise people  here on this forum or outside of it about evolving as  consciousness . learning to love etc. ,
which is perfectly fits my own understanding , but the thing is the most people only get it on intellectual level which is only small part of totality of the whole  picture.
Anyway to make a long story longer what i think it would be interesting to know is find out what  is the real goal/purpose of every Astral Pulse member /guest to explore NP , to learn to astral project . I know many of you answered this question when you joined the forum but here is the thing as you move along everything changes your vies /goals/purposes. So As of now why are you here? Do not rush with the answer , please. And the last but not the least my own answer to this question after more or less successful
year of regular projections goes " I have no idea"

Peace and Love

"All my successful  projections would go like this : I would just stop doing exercise
(after 20-40 minutes due tiredness/laziness) if i do not see any progression within 10 minutes or so ,then i would  change body position with intention simply to fall asleep. And as soon as i let the process go
the astral wind kicks in right away ( or within 2-3 minutes max) and my whole body ( with the most intense in a back of my head) gets full blow energy vibration and within seconds i am out. "
That was my old post from Jan this year. Sounds similar to what you are going through .  This may not be the best technique for AP but it still works for me.
When you feel like you are done for whatever reason ( tired , lazy , upset , i personally do not see the point of investing more than 20-40 minutes in one session )
  you give up completely and your only intention at this point should be falling asleep. This is the key. If you still have a hope in the back of your mind that somehow your AP  attempt might miraculously work out , it would get in a way of whatever is meant to happen at any given moment naturally. So you give up , you are done , you let  go . Zero expectation ! And then see what happens! Works for me at least 50% of the time.
Good luck!
Love and Peace.

Thank you , Xanth . Yes this is true , phasing directly brings me greater awareness and clarity than when becoming lucid while dreaming .
But the reason why i made this post is the way i became lucid - through my normal A/P routine while dreaming. Usually when i fly in my dreams
i become aware that i am dreaming and then if i have enough focus i ask one of those questions in order to increase my awareness and i  get the right answer
or no answer at all. But never wrong answer. But in my today's experience I got the wrong answer because i assume my home base shifted so to speak ; the projection took place in virtual room/bed while i was dreaming  and that is why i got a little confused. Other than that it is just the same thing. I realize there are millions ways to gain lucidity , but this one somehow felt special.
Thanks again.
Love and Peace.

Hi all. I had 2 A/P this morning . one was just regular one from awake state ( intent/border/vibrations/exit) and the other one i had does not happen often , over the past 4 months i had only 3 of that kind . So I am in a dream where   i decide to go to bed ( i do not remember if i had intention to project or just to fall asleep) , then my normal (like from awake state)  A/P occurs with vibrations and exit. Everything seems the same  except that i am having a hard time to remember what i had planned to do . I tried to get more clarity and awareness by asking four questions (from Xanth's book) which usually are very helpful , but this time with no luck
because for instance to my question " where did i come from" i got the answer- the room and the bed from my dream- not my physical one.
This is not a big deal since i still can do whatever i want and get all the benefits from the experience , but i was wondering those of you guys who have experienced similar projections , is it any different for you from awake state projection ?  
Thank you.
Peace and Love.

Cool 101, I had asked this questions like 100000 times and always got the "  right answer". From spirit guides , from old schools , new schools, and it felt good at times but only at times. The idea is just the idea!  If you like it, if it resonates with you , you start contemplate it , nourish it , practice it and eventually you take it on emotional/energetic/physical level and then you feel it and then it becomes "it"  when you do not ask the question any more, you just are it, you become the answer.
At least that is my story. What i am trying to say is that you can read tons of good books and listen to many wise gurus it won't actually change you (if you wanna change of course)  but when you practice and experience (love/giving/sharing/projections/whatever) holding this idea in mind , you change and the idea becomes you!!!!!
Peace and Love.

By "wrong " direction I meant " more confusion " . Sorry i usually do not use the word "wrong" .
All i was trying to say is that when you focus on a whole the connection with everything (the source) is established and the process (whatever you are working on at the moment) becomes easier lighter and quicker. Confusion comes from separation. Here is the example from healing work . When i give healing session to somebody with low back pain and i consider just the area of concern the healing will take place and pain will go away but 1. it may not last too long 2. the energy blockage (which is the reason for pain)
may appear somewhere else since the probable mental or emotional cause has not been addressed. On contrary when i focus on a whole (physical emotional mental bodies all at once since i do not see them separately) the healing takes place on a "source" level and the problem usually never comes back. It is just my experience and i do respect all other views and theories.
Love and Peace.

This is my last incarnation. Why i am so sure. Well first of all i have been strongly longing to go home (spirit world , the source) for several years now
i am a very old soul and also i had two readings from different sources that confirmed the idea of ending the cycle..
Do we have to go through hardship and suffering in order to learn and grow? IT is not my experience. I am not even sure that we have to learn and grow but that is another big subject. Often times when i feel whatever i feel (the only source i really trust) it feel like i already know everything so the whole life may well be a game of remembering the self.
So much fun!
#24
I have been so lucky i never learnt about bodies, chakras  etc. It so much easier when you see yourself as whole and pure and do not focus on different parts of your body.
Once you get separation in your system you are trapped and moving in a wrong direction. But who am i to tell you what is right. IT is just my experience as an energy healer.
Sorry i have nothing to say about throat chakra since there is no such  thing in my world.

here is the excerpt from the article i read some time ago

" Myth 9: Astral Projection changes a person's religious beliefs.

Truth: An in-depth study of 350 participants was conducted and published by Dr. Melvin Morse in 1992. According to that study, out-of-body experiences did not seem to alter one's religious beliefs. In fact, most people reported that their religious beliefs were confirmed and strengthened by their out-of-body experiences."
