Hi Xabir and all,
I will like to add this...
The pastlife flashbacks that we have are often in need of healing. Seeing the flashbacks do not mean that one is healed. If we ignore it, is usually our thinking mind ignoring... the memories are still there and must be healed.
It took me many years to heal my fear of war. When its healed, it will never bother us again and the life expereinces around will change to reflect that aka karma cleared.
If we are bothered by the flashbacks or still have fears related to the trauma, then it is not healed.
Good luck.
Agreed.
There are many ways to do that. From my experience, the easiest one is to recite the Diamond Sutra. It has the effect of 'formless repentance' even for very deep and ancient karmas. If this works, healing can be done without regression. For itÂ’s not easy to regress, and past life memories could be quite distorted and misleading sometimes.
Of course, the best way is to have a deep enlightenment. As said in the Song of Enlightenment:
When awakened we find karmic hindrances fundamentally empty.
But when not awakened, we must repay all our debts.So the trick is to keep our mind free from attachments all the time. Because once itÂ’s attached, we will be spotted on radar, so to speak, and karmic power will fight back without mercy. I had some terrible experience like this. I hoped that I have learned the lesson.
