Have you ever met someone who felt strangely familiar the first time you saw them? How about an unexplained fear or deja-vu when visiting a new place? Reincarnation is an idea that has existed around the world forever yet many are still quick to dismiss it. Recent documented cases have built a foundation to verify past lives. This sheds light on the importance of considering the world through a lens of having an eternal soul. Learn how reincarnation is being validated by experts in the field along with ways to access your own memories.
The Law of the Conservation of Energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed but only changes form. The energy that animates our lives was here before we were born. It will be here after we are gone. Some people call this energy our “soul”. The question still remains, can this energy have memories from its’ previous forms?

Memories That We Can’t Explain
Since I was a kid I had memories that I can not explain. Are they manifestations of dreams, my imagination, or actual memories passed through my ancestors’ genes down to me? I naturally entertained all of these ideas first before considering the possibility of reincarnation. Something about reincarnation just seemed to defy logic in my mind. Yet whenever I shared these stories with others I was surprised to learn that my experiences were not uncommon. Then I met Carol Bowman.
Carol is a past life researcher who has curated the world’s largest database of personal stories about the topic. She has numerous books including Children’s Past Life Memories: How Past Life Memories Affect your Child. She documents many peoples experiences that build a case for this important field of study.
Her journey in the field took on an added dimension when her children began telling her detailed stories of events that happened before they were born. She appeared on Oprah Winfrey with her son who recounted memories from the civil war. On that show a panel of experts were blown away by her kid. they confirmed that the child knew things that had actually happened which are not written about in history books.
Are Children Remembering Past Lives?
The vividness and emotional maturity with which toddlers relate facts from adult lives—and even tell of their deaths—signals that something extraorindary is happening here. These children have much to teach us. Children’s past life memories is a phenomenon with far-reaching implications for every person who is curious about the truth of reincarnation and wonders about their own past lives. -Carol Bowman
This is more common than you might realize. Children’s stories are often discounted as an overly-active imagination. Thanks to increased awareness about the topic researchers are now able to document this phenomena and study it. The internet is helping to unravel this phenomena by connecting people’s stories world-wide.
One of the most popular of these is about a little boy named James Leininger. His fascinating story has been shared on multiple television programs. Watch below to see how the events in his family unfolded when he had memories of being a pilot. This case-study sheds light on the emerging field of study.
Engaging in the Stories and Feelings of Children
Focusing on children’s past life memories is particularly revealing for adults as well. Many of us have years of conditioning or have such busy lives that these stories may not emerge as easily. Letting yourself journal, dream and muse can open unexpected doorways in your consciousness. Even if you don’t personally believe them in a literal sense, it is still valuable to engage what emerges. It is an intuitive process that can be facilitated by an expert.
Usually the memories are not ego-oriented. For example: I was Naploeon, or Queen Nefertiti in a past life. The stories are usually more emotionally-oriented and irrational. Past life memories tend to be unresolved. For example: I have a deep fear of wolves, or I feel sick when I hear thunder.
It is especially important to listen to the stories your children tell. You may begin to notice patterns. Below, from Carols’ website, is a list of why recognizing children’s past life memories is important.
- Children’s spontaneous memories offer the best evidence yet for reincarnation
- Parents (and grandparents) of young children who are familiar with the signs can recognize the memories when they happen in their own children.
- So that everyone, whether parents or not, will see children differently, as experienced souls who have come to us for a reason.
- Because children’s memories resonate and legitimize adults’ experiences in past life regression therapy.
Being Open to Exploring the Unknown
In learning about other people’s stories you will start to begin noticing things you have overlooked in your own life. If you are interested in reading other peoples stories there is an online forum. Approach with curiosity rather than rigid belief. Past life memories may reflect symbolic processing of your current experiences rather than literal recollections. A strong connection to specific cultures, time periods, or places might suggest past-life ties. Reflect on any fears, habits, or feelings you can’t explain. Some believe these might be linked to past-life experiences.
Dreams can also act as a gateway to subconscious memories. Lucid dreaming is a process of training yourself to become aware in dreams. This allows you to consciously explore any past-life themes or symbols. By keeping a dream journal you can record recurring themes, places, or people that feel significant.
We live in a time when the various transpersonal realms of the human spirit are being revealed in amazing ways. Even if you have never had a past life memory or if you don’t personally believe in them. There is good reason to explore the mysteries of your own psyche and share your stories with others. It is this kind of openness along with desire to explore the unknown which will guide us to new depths of understanding. How would it change the way you live now if you knew that you had lived before and may live again?
