The entry technique here is adapted from William Swygard's excellent booklets on Awareness Techniques. Choose a time when you are calm, alert, and will not be disturbed. If you are an astrologer, you can use a lunar planetary hour; however, this is merely a help, not a necessity. Have a notebook and pen (or tape recorder) at hand. Remove your shoes, loosen any restrictive clothing, and lie down on your bed. Take some deep breaths, and then put your attention on your toes and relax them with a deep breath. Move up to your feet and relax them with a breath; then relax your ankles, calves, knees, thighs, and so on up to your head.

Then take a deep breath and imagine yourself swelling up like a balloon to twice your volume; then release the breath and imagine returning to normal size. After you've succeeded at this, take a breath and imagine yourself inflating and filling the entire room; then return. When you can do this, take a deep breath and imagine yourself engulfing the entire house; then return. Next, take a breath and swell up until you are bigger than the house and float upwards into the sky. Look down as you rise and imagine you are seeing the house, the neighborhood, the surrounding countryside, as if from an ascending balloon.

Then command yourself to descend lightly back to earth in another lifetime. Look down at your feet; how are you shod? Look at your clothes; what are you wearing? Look around you; what kind of place are you in? Are there any other people around you? Who are they? What are they doing? What time or country does it seem to be? What are you doing in the scene? Why are you there? You concern yourself with these sorts of questions until you feel you're plugged into the past life; then you just let the thing flow and take you where it will.

When you first come down the scene will be fuzzy at first. You look at your feet, then your clothing, then your environment, to put the pieces of the picture into place. You ask questions of the regression to connect yourself to it - to make that life vivid and bring it into focus. For me (who is not especially psychic) regressions are rather murky; I can't usually make out faces clearly, nor colors unless they're very bright. You see the regression with your mind's eye, but it's more felt than seen - more like a series of emotional tableaux than a movie. You usually only hit the high points of a given life; you don't see all the day-to-day routine. It's not unlike a daydream or fantasy, except you soon realize that something other than your conscious mind is running it, and that something is your feelings. The experience will be more or less vivid depending on how much you block it. Don't judge the experience (by thinking, for example, "This isn't real - this is just my imagination!"). Just let it happen; if you want to evaluate it, wait until it's over. This is not an exercise for your conscious mind, so tell your conscious mind to butt out and keep its judgments to itself.

When you first start to use this sort of technique you don't know how it's supposed to feel (you can't believe it could be this easy!), so you may have doubts about whether you are doing it correctly. Don't worry - if anything at all is unfolding before your mind's eye, you're doing it right. If there is no flow or direction (you're stopped in one scene), it means you are purposely blocking it. You'll know quite well if you're doing this. To unblock yourself at any point, just ask more questions: What time of day or season is it? What kind of building / vegetation is around you? And so on.

In running past life regressions it is useful to have a notebook or tape recorder in hand to jot down the past life as it occurs. Since the content of a regression is largely emotional, it tends to fade quickly from conscious memory, and it's often useful to have a record of it for future reference. It's a simple matter to divide your attention between the past life and the notebook. Once you get the hang of the entry technique, you can dispense with the going up in the sky and coming down each time.

You might want to experiment with running past lives involving people you know from this life. Try this: ask to see a past life involving someone you love in this life. Then ask to see a past life with someone you dislike in this life. Simply give the command: "I'd like to see a past life with so-and-so" at the time you command to view a past life. The powers that be will steer you to the right place.

Also, you can ask questions during the regression, such as: "Do I know that past-life person in this lifetime?" and you'll usually get an answer, which will come as either a conscious thought or a feeling. The theory is that you have an infinite number of lives with every being on earth, not to mention other places, but some are closer to your present life than others - more connected to it in terms of lessons to be learned in this life - and these are the lives that usually pop up in regressions.

After running a life, it often helps to jot down the impressions you have of it. What was the main thrust or purpose of that life? What lessons did you learn? How did you feel about it after you died? There's no need to become morbid or obsessed about past lives - just draw your conclusions and move on.
