Reincarnation is the belief that when
you die, your soul is funneled into a new body. Some belief systems say
you could be reincarnated as anything – a grasshopper, a tree, or even
better: a cow. Other systems of belief think that we may reincarnate as
people over and over again. There are theories as to why this process
exists, but no one knows for sure. That said, what are some of the signs
that your soul may be reincarnated?
1. You keep having the same dream.
Dreams
are a reflection of the things you see in your life. Did you know that,
even if they seem very unfamiliar, every face in your dreams is one
you’ve seen before? It’s that fact that compels me to add recurring
dreams to this list. Do you have strange dreams that happen over and
over again in the exact same way every time? Do people and places in
these dreams appear to represent a particular period in history? Do you
ever die in this dream? It might be a sign that your soul is recalling
memories from a past life, one that your current incarnation didn’t
experience but your previous one did. Of course, it’s not a sure fire
sign of reincarnation. Yours may be a new soul still.
2. Your intuition is strong and incredibly useful.
Intuition
stems from the ability to tap into wisdom and knowledge that isn’t
readily available for us to articulate. Sometimes these bits and pieces
of wisdom come from experiences you’ve had already in your life, but
that isn’t always the case. Those of us who tend to be wise and in
control may simply be more soulfully mature. If you have a strong
intuition, it may be an indication that your soul springs from a well of
past experiences just waiting to be tapped into.
3. Some of your memories seem like they’re out of place or don’t fit.
This
happens to children in particular quite often. Kids are a lot closer to
the crossing-over point for a soul than adults are, and they’re often
able to recall things from past lives much easier. As a kid, did you
have memories you couldn’t quite place? Did they take place with people
who aren’t actually a part of your current life or in a period of time
that doesn’t include the time you’ve been alive? Having out of place
memories is common in people who have had past lives. The more past
lives you’ve had, the more these memories may occur. The brain can play
tricks on us though. So be careful not to rush to judgement on this one.
4. You routinely experience déjà vu.
This
happens to everyone at some point or another, right? I’m not talking
about the occasional bits and pieces of déjà vu we experience. I mean
déjà vu that is clearly an indication that you’ve been somewhere before,
met someone before, and it impacts your knowledge of certain things.
People who have been reincarnated may visit an unfamiliar city or
country and know exactly where things are and how to get around. People
who have been reincarnated may know an older person – even their name
and background, even though you haven’t actually met in this lifetime.
5. You’re strongly empathic.
Empaths
are people who aren’t able to shake the feelings of others terribly
well. Highly empathic people may have trouble being in a crowded space
full of people. They often directly feel the experiences of the people
around them. Sometimes people use empathy to forget their own problems
and deal with other people. But it could be a real sign that your soul
has had previous incarnations and is more geared toward healing the
world than the self.
6. You often experience precognition.
Precognition,
also called future sight and second sight, is the capability some of us
have to obtain information about events that will happen in the future
that isn’t generally available to us. One experiences precognition
through visions, feelings, and sometimes dreams. Some consider it to be
pseudo-science at best, while others experience as strongly as any of
our five senses. In either case, it’s a sign that the soul has grown
mature and is full of insightful energy.
7. You also experience retrocognition.
Easy
enough: retrocognition is the polar opposition of precognition.
Retrocognition allows you to access information and details from past
events that aren’t generally available about said events. Retrocognition
is incredibly difficult to prove, unlike precognition. Regardless of
how well you’ve been able to prove it to others, genuinely experiencing
retrocognition is a strong sign that you have lived past lives.
8. You’re “wise beyond your years.”
Are
you young at heart? Or were you like me? My mother always joked that I
was an old man from the day I was born. I didn’t engage in nearly as
many childlike activities as a young man and preferred to have deep
conversation with the adults in my life. This experience is called the
“Soul Age” theory, which theorizes that souls that have been
reincarnated many times acquire age that breaks through in our
personalities. If you’re a new soul, you’re more likely to be young at
heart for the rest of your life. If you’re an older or mature soul, it
means you may have been reincarnated many times. One isn’t necessarily
better than the other.
9. You have an exceptional draw toward certain times periods and cultures.
When
you were a kid, did you have a draw to any time period or culture? Did
you love the 1950’s? Did you feel deeply connected to other cultures,
current or no longer in existence? You may even have a strange, strong
draw to a certain type of work or employees of a particular profession.
These affinities may be a sort of residue of a past life that was
probably a pretty happy one. If you weren’t happy, you likely wouldn’t
pine for it in this life, right? Immerse yourself in that time period or
culture. Learn what there is to know. You might take some profound
wisdom away with you.
10. You carry with you fears that you can’t explain.
I
have a bizarre phobia of having organs removed from my body. I nearly
fainted in a hospital years ago when a good friend of mine had his
appendix removed. Is it possible that I died on the operating table?
Another close friend of mine has always been deathly afraid of fountains
and still, calm waters like lakes. Is it possible that he drowned in a
past life? If you can remember places from your past life, and your past
life comes through in your dreams, there’s no reason to think that the
fears you held in your previous lives might still haunt you today.
Meditate upon your fears and confront them. Break that cycle so your
soul’s future incarnations don’t have to be afraid, should your soul
continue on.
11. You don’t feel at home.
Not just
in your home, but in your town. In your state. Even in your country,
continent, or culture. You just don’t feel quite right about it.
Yearning to feel like you’re home may be a sign that your soul had a
love for a certain culture or period in time that it no longer gets to
have, or that your soul may pine for the oneness that it occupies before
being planted in a new body. Souls that have been around for a long
time may feel a deep desire to go back to the collective pool of souls
on the other side.
12. You made no strong connection with your parents.
This
one is almost exclusively experienced in children. As a child, you
might love and respect your parents, but you don’t have that pull toward
them. That unconditional love and appreciation for them. Why? A
previous incarnation may have died young, and it simply misses its
parents from that time. Have you had dreams about having other parents?
Could you recall their names and where they lived? Or did you never
really have that close fondness with your parents? It may be a sign that
you’ve lived once before.
And that wraps it up. These 12 signs
we’ve talked about may be a firm indication that your soul has lived
many times. Of course, there’s no guarantee that there is any type of
incarnation. But one thing is for sure: this universe is filled with
mysteries as numerous as they are baffling. In our lives, we must never
stop asking questions about ourselves and the things around us.
