Past Life Regression is probably the best available method at this time. I hear many speak about dream intrepation and analysis, but these two areas are highly spectulative.

Using a trained hypnotheraphist with a background and training in this area provides a great understanding and insight to your past lives.

I highly recommend reading two books by Michael Newton, PH.D titled    .....  'JOURNEY OF SOULS'   and   'DESTINY OF SOULS'.
Also, two by Dr. Raymond Moody, M.D. titled 'LIFE BETWEEN LIVES'   and   'REUNION'.
Michael Newton is a hypnotherapist and has been performing past life regressions for over 40 years.
Dr. Raymond moody is an M.D. and has studied and researched, thru actual interviews, thousands of people that have had near-death experiences.  He has also been actively engaged in this field for over 40 years.
There are hundreds of books about Past Lives and NDE/OBE's, but these 2 are Very Good for someone just beginning their journey in answering questions about these subjects.

Love, Peace, and Light!

OMG You know, one of my worst fears is choking or drowning. Another VERY strong fear is getting into a car accident. I refuse to drive at all, and terrified to ride with others. It's become a major anxeity attack for me now.

Anyway, when I first started learning about the spiritual realm of things, I got to the point (for NO apparent reason) where I couldn't swallow food. Then I couldn't eat anything solid for like three months. I would chew my food and spit it out. My mouth just would NOT allow me to swallow.

I don't know what changed to allow me to swallow again but that was some scary things!!

I am most curious about my past life. I've been having a horrible life since I was born and I'm wondering who I made mad in my past life!!

I have tried to learn from the past lives I have discovered to date.  

Here is one example.

In the life just before this one I was very young while riding in a car that went off of a bridge.  
I couldn't get the door or window open and I drowned.  

I have always bought vehicles with windows that roll down by hand.  
And I took up scuba diving to get used to being under water.
