Past Lives

      Do you believe that you had a past life, or is this your first time in this universe? Sorry let me slow down. A past life is exactly what it sounds like. It’s the life that you had before you came to this one. Not a trick question. In fact, many people believe that they have had past lives due to memories and even birthmarks that they have. Different religions believe in reincarnation such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Santeria just to name a few. It is thought that based on how you live your life depends on what you are reincarnated into. 

     There have been instances when young children claim to remember a past life. Children up until the age of about three are most likely to recall such experiences. There are many stories (much to some parents' horror) of children remembering their pasts. They can even recall specific details such as their parents, children, where they lived, even how they may have died. One of the many phenomenons about past lives is about a girl who became distraught that she was unable to locate her children after being in a car accident. 

     Have you ever wondered if you had one yourself? This article may be the thing that gets you looking into it, you never know. Here are a few signs you may see everyday in yourself that may hint to one:

• Birthmarks. It is even believed that little things such as a birthmark can link you back to your past. Left behind by a past scar or tied to a traumatic death. 

• Unexplained Fears/Phobias. As weird as it may sound, yes a fear can be tied to a past life. For example, a fear of water can be linked to drowning in the past. 

• Finding comfort in another culture. If you find yourself drawn to a culture that can be far from what you find yourself born into now. This could have been a bit of your old self peaking through and reminding you who you were.     

• Dreams/Nightmares. Memories from past lives can find their way back to you through your dreams. 

     If you’re interested in finding out about your past life ,if you’ve had one of course, there are a few ways to. You can through a tarot spread, hypnosis, or even sometimes a test you come across online. You never know you could find yourself remembering a soul mate you forgot about; or even your spirit guide.
