How do people try to find the details of their past lives?

There are various paths you can look into and some are definitely harder than others - though naturally it always depends on the individual.

Try to improve your natural psychic ability

This is the slowest but perhaps the most rewarding way. Using traditional methods, there is first

meditation

You could also take up Yoga (or perhaps Tai Chi) and also do Pranayama, the Yogic spiritual breathing exercises (or Chi Gong). The main advantage here is that you can do a lot of it free from a book, but at some stage you would need to seek out a good teacher to get you up to an advanced level. Here Yoga has a great advantage inasmuch as it has flourished throughout the world, and a well-recommended teacher should be available in any city of a reasonable size. One year might be the minimum time required for getting some psychic ability, but you need to be committed and motivated.

One very new technique to open onesself up psychically is Robert Bruce's excellent New Energy Ways technique. This is very well documented and the guide is competely free and on the internet here and often updated with new information. The technique is quite simple and delivers noticeable results quickly, and has a good emphasis on safety. One of the best things about it is that there is a free online forum where anybody can register and exchange experiences and ask questions. Note that as with any technique like this, regular meditation is a good accompanying practice.

Consult a psychic

Note that a psychic whose claimed ability is only the ability to communicate with spirits is probably going to be of little use.

Advantages:

You do not need any psychic skills yourself

Disadvantages:

Depending who you consult, you may not get any accurate or meaningful results
You would not be able to experience the memories yourself
You often do not know whether you can trust the information a psychic gives you

Self-regression using relaxation and visualisation

There are various similar methods that people can practice on their own to try to access past life memories. Once such exercise can be found

Also there are now many past life regression cassettes and CDs available - see the Self-regression cassette and CD courses section below.

Professional past life regression using hypnosis or deep relaxation

This is the simplest solution, but it can be expensive - especially if you require many sessions to fill in the hazy details. What you can do is go though the phone book and call various hypnotherapists and find one who has years of professional experience and especially a lot of experience with past life regression. If therapists don't fit the bill, maybe they can recommend someone, as they should know other people in the field. Also try to get an arrangement where they only charge you if they can actually hypnotise you - then you at least get some kind of guarantee that it won't be a complete waste of money. Remember that you might be hard to hypnotise, so do not ever assume that they can get you under. (Asking the local police dept which hypnotherapists they use might even be a good first step.) The best person would be someone who has been in the business for 20+ years, has done lots of past life regressions and has a professional-looking workplace. Try to avoid someone who's just starting out in the field. Paying more for a person with more experience is usually a good idea - especially if you hear that they have a good reputation.

Note that regression comes with no guarantees of successfully recalling a past life.

Here are the main problems:

you might be very hard to hypnotise
once hypnotised, you might not be capable of recalling past lives (yet)
the hypnotherapist might take a bad approach and ask leading questions which cause you to invent details. This is less likely with a therapist who has a lot of experience with past life regression.

Hypnosis allows you to focus your mind far better than when you are in normal waking consciousness. However it still requires a small amount of psychic skill which most people will have in one way or another, even if it has never been apparent. If you are already getting resonance, you should hopefully have a head start.

Not that some regression therapists don't actually hypnotise you, but try to induce a light trance where the subject is still in full control of themself. This method is less effective for retrieving past life memories than hypnosis, but is more suitable for people who do not like the idea of being hypnotised and giving control of themselves to someone else.

A cheaper method might be to get a book on hypnosis from the library, then get together with somone else who is interested in the idea of past life regression - and whom you trust - and then take turns trying to hypnotise each other. The advantages here are that you will learn to relax, possibly learn a new skill, and if it works, you can try it as often as you like - as it can take many sessions to get a clear picture of someone's past life.
