karma, it comes back to you in some sort of inverted form: Acts of love for others comes back as acts of love for you. The same applies for negative karma; it too will come back to affect your life, perhaps as poverty, anger, or tragedy.
So how can you neutralize, or balance, negative karma? Don't react to it! In other words, don't recreate it or create new negative karmic energy you'll need to deal with later. Just absorb it, experience it, and when necessary resolve it with understanding and compassion.
So, what happens once you manage to clean up your karmic act and get your karma balanced in this life? Then you get to take it to a new level. When you exit the physical (or third dimensional) level, there's a fourth one, a fifth one, and so on. Each level of existence has its own type of energy vibrations.
Receiving Guidance from Past Lives
Since your karmic energy is always there, you can tap into it as a way of learning how to grow and finding out where to go from here. Accessing specific information, however, isn't easy: Basically, your conscious mind focuses on your current life, allowing your soul's input to come through only when you are asleep or in an altered state of consciousness, such as mediation. (Now do you understand why we keep advising you to meditate?)
Another theory on past-life recall attributes recollection of information to the magnetic energy mechanism of vibrations. This technique involves opening your mind and tuning into the vibratory patterns of the information you seek. When you send out a request for facts of a certain vibrational level or pattern, they come back to you as impressions via their magnetic energy.

According to many intuitives, including Edgar Cayce, access to past-life information is possible because it all still exists and is stored in the Akashic records. These omniscient records are like an ultimate, conscious computer data bank. They contain information about every aspect of every person's life, including body, mind, and soul.
Another theory goes that specific dates and details, whether from the Akashic records or not, may be forwarded to you by beings who assist you in your current incarnation. Some people call them guardian angels, and believe that they may even be tied to relationships in past lives. The source of this materialwhether it's from a past life, a fantasy, early in this life, or anywhere elseis not so important. When it comes to resolving problems, many therapists say that they work with any material that the client brings up as a way of unearthing unconscious issues. Of course, not all therapists agree about this issue.
