How to Uncover Your Past Lives (Llwellyn's How to Ser)

Rating:
Summary: Back to the Past...............
Review: How To Uncover Your Past Lives contains a lot of information regarding reincarnation as well as various excercises to help you discover who you were. It is not required that you know anything about reincarnation to understand this book. The author puts forth all the information you need in easy to read theories and examples. He even gives a word-for-word guide for self-hypnosis that you can tape record and use at home.

I thought this book was a little too cheesy for my taste. Although I learned few things I did not know before, and it made me contemplate a few different questions, it wasn't what I thought it was going to be. I guess if this is your first venture into reincarnation this book is a good one to start out with. But for those of you that have studied it, I would recommend skipping this one.

Summary: Andrews is a fine author
Review: I always enjoy Ted Andrews' work. This book is an easy read with some good visualizations for uncovering your past lives. Working on them regularly brings pretty good results.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book!
Review: I loved this book! What is extraordinary about it? Once you begin to put to use the methods the author gives, you can awaken the knowledge of your past lives and make changes in your current life. A must for anyone searching for theier soulmates, or themselves.

Summary: Very good book!
Review: I truly like Mr. Andrews writing. Very easy read, not to complex and loaded with a lot of information. His exercises are truly great to do. Each chapter is filled with information that will want the reader wanting more upon subjects about past lives, which includes subjects about karma, soul mates (what they truly are and how you can tell), mysteries about birth and death, animals (Which Mr. Andrews seems to touch on the best) and reincarnation. I highly recommend this book, worth the time and money.

Summary: Interesting
Review: The book is very pleasantly written and includes many deep ideas. Reincarnation and karma are shortly but rather well explained, while soul mates are presented really poorly. You can find many very practical instructions (scents, crystals, divining rods...) and deeper causes for seemingly ordinary things (the important function of flowers, candles and black clothes at funerals, why a pregnant women has this special glow, sudden death of babies...). There are many carefully prepared exercises for uncovering your past lives, but while they may perhaps really stimulate *also* your intuition, the result will most likely be just a million of confused and evidently imaginary images.

Bottom line: very interesting if you want to expand your view on these things and really pleasant to read, but if you want to actually uncover your past lives with a grand of reliability, I am afraid this book is not the right address.

Summary: An intro.
Review: This is a good little book on the subject. The technique isn't much, but reading it really helped me to give myself permission, back in the day, to remember in more detail the lives I already remembered, and to begin remembering many more of them.

Summary: Self-help in pastlife review
Review: This is a helpful book written in a very straight-foward manner. In addition to offering a number of insights into the meaning of various aspects of the standard reincarnation model, the author presents a current perspective on the psychology of using these methods and on the necessity of pointing the insights so gained towards helping with the management of current-life circumstances. One thing the author does not mention is that there is a great deal of time that must be spent by a person, more or less in solitude, in implementing the techniques to obtain an effect. Another thing is that although many of the procedures point to ways in which information can be obtained about past-lives the resulting effect is quite different from actually entering into those lives (instances of the higher-self as it were. To give it its due however, some differentiation is made using the left-brain right-brain model to posit intellectual as opposed to emotional "facts".

The work is really about "opening doors" rather than "going through them". On the whole however, this is a very useful book and well worth the very modest sum of money required to buy it. There are a lot of books priced very much higher that deliver much less.
