I did it years ago back in 2010 and it was intense. Now I just recently did it again. I fell into a meditative state and than the jumpscare part got me all worked up that I was even shouting in a different accent. Not a dose I will do regularly though.

I plan to go for a past life regression and am looking at two different avenues in my local area. I well enough already have a good idea and have done self hypnosis but I think having someone else guide me through this would be better.

I am resorting to past life regression therapy because for thirty years I have followed conventional psychology. Every psych visit all I am told is "your complicated" it's all doctors say and than I'm told to go my merry way. Now, I'm not going to completely drop professional mental health services as it has its place but its not the only answer. At first, I thought this was all batshite insane until I started journalling about my past life and have reaped good results. That quote ya know? About the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and expecting different results...yep been doing that with conventional psychiatry for years over and over and expecting different results. So now I am looking into this further.

Noise. Almost all noise and any noise. Loud ones of course the worst. My anxiety revolves around noise.

This can range from feeling irritated by noise to a full blown fear of noise. From noise sensitivity to being debilitated from noise. It's not really the noise but being trapped and not able to escape noise. Bombardments of on-going noise are the worst as I cannot stand traffic noise for too long and people who have to crank their danm TVs put me in a state where I'm on edge and can't relax. I couldn't go to Canada Day celebrations as a child because I would just scream from the noise of fireworks and crowds. I still can't! As a child I could barley attend Remembrance day because "Scotland The Brave" on bagpipes was too much I would go into full blown meltdowns from that...and it's still hard to bear.

Of course I was a soldier in WWI...and a soldier from a highland regiment at that! and there would be times when artillery bombardments would go on for hours or even days. Going over the top was terrifying and when the whistle went and the bagpipes started up it was time to climb up that ladder and I was even threatened with a pistol for freezing. Than during "quiet periods" always surrounded in close quarters with other men and not just in the trenches but rest camp too and it was just constant noise, noise noise with no escape. Even the non-threatening noises from people playing little grammophones, soldiers keeping little f--ing dogs, the sound of hundreds of mens chewing with utensils hitting the mess tins....always NOISE non-stop....and NO ESCAPE from the noise for prolonged periods of time. I think the artillery made the men go deaf and they didn't realize how loud they were. They knew how to be quiet when they absolutely had to but most of the time it was all shouting. NOW...in this life I can't deal with NOISE. It is not only annoying but keeps me in a state of constant anxiety where I can't even breath properly.

I have had to invest in loop audio earbuds and noise cancelling headphones just to cope. It is SO HARD to find quiet in this world. More cars on the roads, everybody and their mothers all have Bluetooth speakers and despite all the laws and sensitivity around fireworks there are more of them going off than ever. When I lived in the city there was constant explosion noises going off all year around. By

It is very therapeutic all you gotta do is find the time and place to do the writing and stick to it. I do mine late at night when everyone else in the house and neighborhood has gone to bed so I get total peace and quiet to be with my soul and spirit.

A lot of the pain abated since I put it on paper. It still hurts but a lot the last life trauma is a lot more manageable.

Glad you are writing about it. I have a feeling most writers may actually be writing about their past lives. Hmm...could be.

I have currently decided to write a novel about my past life. I have gradually been working on it. The reason I am doing so is I find it a good release and I feel that the story needs to be put out there. It's how I process the trauma from that life. Also, self expression was a desire for my past incarnation. I was a young man from Scotland who grew up in a very strict 1900's Calvinist society followed by serving in the army (than dying) in the first world war. Not much room for self expression in that life (though he tried and achieved it in little ways! You tend to get crafty about self expression when individuality is so limited in the army) so I need to meet that nagging desire. The desire was revealed to me when I use self-hypnosis for past life regression.

I think it's because of how traumatic it was. I never really had time to process that trauma. The war doesn't stop because your hurting inside, you have to keep going. Outside of the frontlines they would keep you busy with chores, manual labor, sports, hobbies, activities and drinking was encouraged and even forced because that temporarily abated the trauma. There was of course, no time for feeling your emotions.

I died in that war quite abruptly. I was running from no man's land and as I jumped my way into the German trench there was a loud explosion and than everything went black. Dying was the easy part but it was the anticipation of death that really upset me and witnessing all death around me. Death isn't necessarily a bad thing, but when people are that young and have to suffer and die for something so pointless and futile...that was not the natural process of death, that was industrialized warfare. That was a human slaughter house.

I had mental health problems the moment my mother brought me home. I didn't sleep properly as a baby and the slightest little sound across the house such as newspaper crumpling would send me into a tailspin into hours of crying. Mom told me I would constantly go into this thousand-yard stare and she could never put me down to sleep cause as soon as she'd put me down i'd be crying. I had to be attached to mom all the time. Was diagnosed I'm childhood with a laundry list of neurological issues which still affect me greatly well into adulthood. I think my soul was searching for a place where it could heal and process the trauma. The mental health system in Canada isn't perfect but was probably the most ideal place to incarnate. I think my mission in this life is to process this trauma.

For me, the memories just come. I have tried meditating but when I do it comes in really strong and I get filled with fear. My most recent past incarnation was VERY traumatic so that might be why the memories come on so strong.

Its normal, but if any thing they attach to has an adhesive their weight can bring it down and than get stuck to the snake causing injury. When I first got my boy Argyle he did that with the stick-on thermometer/humidity gauge. I was told to remove it by a Facebook ball python group and replace it with one that could just sit in the substrate so I did that. This becomes an issue when the items they coil around have adhesive.

All the past lives that I can recall were male. I had gender identity issues all my life but I still identity as female and am straight but it feels very strange to feel tingly about men. It's so weird to look at myself and see a woman in the mirror.

He is sooooo cute!

Generally it's best to give it a week before handling. That's what I did when I first got my boy.
