Mind, Body & Soul Has Your Soul Reincarnated Many Times?


process of reincarnation


sounds just as instinctively and fundamentally cor- rect as any other maturing process in life. Not only that, but some experienced


of us have

We observe


ciples of reincarnation everywhere in life:


the prin- the


cycles of nature, day and night, the cyclic motion of the sun, earth, moon and solar system. We also see the principles of reincar- nation reflected around us each day: a plant grows, dies and releases its seeds. Its seeds burrow into the earth, begin to sprout, and new life is reborn once again. Reincarnation, or the


rebirth of energy, or life, occurs all around us in different shapes and forms every day. Perhaps this is why for so many of us, re- incarnation is something intuitive, something that resonates the very nature, the very essence of life. We also see that our lives, and everything around us, follows a fundamental pattern; that


of change,


growth, transformation, and evolution. We see that all of life goes through a maturing process at differ- ent rates and different ve- locities. Thus to many of us, the maturation process of the soul through the


extraordinary feelings, memories and sensations that point to the legitima- cy of such a mysterious experience.


Known also


as “metempsychosis” and “transmigration”, Rein- carnation and the concept of past lives has existed for thousands of years, span- ning back to the ancient Celtic, Greek, Asian and Indian traditions. These days, about 51% of the world’s population believe in some form of an after- life, with about 7% believ- ing that we are ultimately reincarnated. One of the most intrinsic beliefs of reincarnation is that most of us have lived many lives before, and sometimes we can actually remember these


past lives. These


past lives and past ‘selves’ we tend to identify with as extensions of ourselves and our egos. When we understand re-


incarnation as the matura- tion process, or evolution, of soulful energy, it follows that some of us have intu- itively experienced differ- ent things in our lives that reflect on the age of the energy known as our souls. It is commonly believed that many of our personal characteristics, experienc- es, and capabilities in this


life reflect on whether we have lived before on earth. It is thought that the more we mature, the more gifted we are in certain areas of life and the more frequent- ly we have ‘spiritual’ expe- riences. The truth is that all of


us have most likely rein- carnated, however, some of us have gone through this cycle more than others and therefore experience many


of the characteristics:


Recurring Dreams Dreams are reflec-


tions of the unconscious mind, and while repetitive dreams may sometimes signify trauma, fear or is- sues that your brain is try- ing to process (“unfinished business”), repetitive dreams can also potential- ly be reflections of past life experiences. Many people claim to have experienced certain events, seen par- ticular people or gone to specific places frequently in their dreams that feel very familiar, and some- how recognizable.


Out-of-place Memories There are many re-


corded instances of young children who have out-of- place memories that later prove to be oddly accurate in detail.


place memories could be due to simple fantasies or misunderstandings


there is mounting evidence following


that suggests out-of-place memories could reveal connections to past lives.


You Have a Strong Intuition Intuition is the ability to balance the conscious and unconscious mind and to tap into our deeper well- springs of primal wisdom and innate knowledge. is said that


the more we


soulfully mature, the more we are closer to return- ing to the ‘source’ (known also as nirvana, eternity, oneness) from which our Souls come


from, and


from which the collective unconscious – a body of universal knowledge – ex- ists.


Déjà vu We’ve all experienced


déjà vu before at some point in our lives.


It’s that While out-of-


bizarre feeling that some- how we have already expe- rienced or lived a moment in time before. Often déjà vu comes spontaneously and is triggered by smells, sounds, sights, tastes and various other sensations. While some claim that déjà vu is a neurological dissonance, others claim that déjà vu reflects the possibility of other dimen- sions (i.e. parallel univers- es), and still, others believe it is revealing of past life experience.


You’re an Empath Empaths absorb the emotions, and in some in-


Precognition Also known as ‘future


sight’ or ‘second sight’, precognition is the abili- ty to obtain information about future events that aren’t


stances, the physical pains, of those


around them


literally empathizing, or directly feeling and expe- riencing what others expe- rience.


While identifying It


as an Empath and absorb- ing the emotions of others could be seen in some in- stances as a psychological form of avoidance to by- pass one’s own problems and pin the blame on oth- ers, in other genuine cases it can be seen as a sign of a soul that has undergone many previous reincarna- tions .


nition, unlike precogni-


tion, is not easy to prove or verify, however, for those who have genuinely expe- rienced it (and have been able to honestly verify it), this ability could also be a sign of soulful reincarna- tion.


You Feel Older Than Your Age Reflects Some people are per-


usually available.


Precognition can be ex- perienced through vi- sions, physical sensations, and feelings as well as in dreams. While considered quasi-scientific by some, to others precognition is a very real experience and could indicate the matura- tion of soulful energy.


Retrocognition You probably guessed


it! Retrocognition is the opposite


of the about past above


precognition and refers to the ability to obtain infor- mation not usually avail- able


These past events could


be in your own lifetime, or sometime in the distant past. Of course, retrocog-


events.


petually “young at heart” even into their later lives, and in the same manner, some people just seem to have been born with “Old Souls”. The experience of feeling older than your age reflects is commonly asso- ciated with having reincar- nated many times over and this is echoed in the “Soul Age” theory where there is a certain progression of soulful development: from Infant Souls to Awakened Souls.


You Have a Great Affinity for Certain Cultures/ Time Periods/ Environments It is said that having a unexplainable


great, century.


Unexplainable Fears or Phobias As touched on in the point, many believe


last


that certain memories or experiences can pass on or leave “residues” in our childhoods and adult- hoods from past lives. Whether this is true or is simply a form of problem bypassing, many believe that we can experience the echoes of past traumas in our own lifetimes in the form of unexplainable fears and phobias. Exam- ples can include:


of drowning, the fear of certain types of


You Feel as


Though this Earth Is Not Your Home The yearning to find


at-


traction for certain cul- tures or time periods is a kind of past life “residue” reminiscent of a certain place, culture or environ- ment that your soul may have experienced in past lives.


For instance, you


may have an inexplicable affinity for Asian culture, Celtic artifacts, or the 19th


your ‘home’ can be seen as a reflection of the desire to return back to the source (oneness, consciousness, divinity). Many people feel this yearning to be reminiscent of an athlete running a long race and longing to reach the ‘finish line’. In the same manner, Souls that have reincarnat- ed many times overexpress this basic need for finally completing the cycle and returning home.


Feeling


that this earth is not your home is often accompa- nied by chronic feelings of tiredness and wariness for life on earth.
