Hypnosis?

About a week ago, Steph wrote a blog on reincarnation where she asked us what we thought we'd be (assuming we believed in it).  My guess was that I'd be another person b/c I don't hold the emotional connection to plants, animals, or bacteria.  That being said, I don't think I've EVER been any of those but for some reason I think I may have been reincarnated many times before into a series of people over different eras/lifetimes.  Why do I think that?  One word: Hypnosis.

Now, this goes back to when I was a kid.  Growing up I was VERY quiet & would only speak up when I had to.  I don't remember this story but I guess one day in kindergarden, a kid (let's just say it was a boy) took a crayon from another kid (let's say a girl) & wouldn't let her have it back.  I apparently told the boy that if he was already done using it, to share it with everyone else b/c it wasn't fair.  Then I told him that everyone else had already let him have it without taking it away from him so it was only fair for him to let us use it too.  My teacher at the time knew I was really quiet so when I spoke up, she just sort of listened without butting in but when my mom went to pick me up, she told my mom that I was pretty quiet except for when something wasn't right/fair & that I really spoke up then.  lol  During my teen years my mom told me that story & it has stuck with me ever since b/c I had no idea I was already like that at such a young age.  I mean, I vaguely remember it but the way I remember it was we were doing some kind of project at the library with paints and a kid did something that made me mad & I told him off. lol  I guess the story makes sense.  lol

During my teen years, I was also quiet so it enabled me to observe people and read between the lines when they spoke.  I think that comes from my dad as does my ability to learn quick & the notion of knowing when to let things go & when to step in.  My way of thinking and demeanor has never been that of a person my age...I've always known that.  I always thought my brother in law was so immature for being 7 years older than me & I quite frankly didn't ever see what my sister saw in him but that's another issue.  lol

Anyway, after having my son, I bought a set of 3 CD's by Dr. Weiss that put you under Hypnosis to discover who you were in a past life.  I orinally bought it b/c I wanted to know if there was something behind my fascination with Egyptian things.  I've only tried 1 of the cd's to the full extent and I discovered that I was alive in the late 1800's/early 1900's based on the clothing I was wearing during my hypnosis.  The 2nd CD I've tried 2x but never finished it b/c it got really weird.  I could see myself in different eras going back & forth between them & I couldn't quite make out what belonged where.  One of the interesting things about that is that I was on the 1920's streets of perhaps Chicago at night time.  It was quiet & foggy & I kept looking back as if being chased...really weird but cool.  The 3rd CD always makes me fall asleep so I have no clue what happens there but I've only tried it at night when I've been super tired.  I need to try it during the daytime when I'm fully awake & will not fall asleep.  The problem with that is...children are awake during the day!  lol

I've made this long but what I'm getting at is, have you ever tried some sort of hypnosis or past life meditation?  What did you discover???
