Did you know that your soul is capable of having multiple human experiences? Whether you believe in reincarnation or not, the fact remains that spiritually, your soul may have inhabited another person’s body before your life began. That means you could have had past lives bleed into your current one in several ways.
The easiest way to tell if you’ve had past lives is to check for any signs of their existence. Here are our top 8 signs you may have had past lives:
Persistent Memories
If you have memories you don’t recognize, it could be a major sign that you’ve had past lives. Even though your physical body didn’t live in the past, if you have these memories, your soul may have. This is because a soul never dies - instead, it constantly moves into a new existence.
Spiritually, each life your soul lives on Earth is intended to serve a purpose. Until your soul realizes its true calling and reaches its highest potential, it will continue to exist in new bodies. This often results in memories of a long-ago life you won’t recognize. Even though this can be confusing and distressing, there’s no need to worry - nothing wrong with you.
Unreasonable Fears
There’s no shortage of people out there with a fear of heights. You’ve probably had a friend who shared your fear of the dark. But do you have any less common fears? Perhaps deep water makes you anxious, or the thought of germs makes you panic. This could be a sign that you’ve lived past lives.
It is widely believed that unreasonable fears exist due to past life traumas. This doesn’t always mean you died a certain way in a past life, though. The fears could stem from a severe event like a near-death experience or something less sinister, such as a scuffle with a mean neighborhood dog.
Sense of Deja Vu
Most people are familiar with deja vu - where conversations or events seem familiar. If you frequently feel that you’ve done something before, it might be because you have. It may be time to consider whether your past and current life have some things in common.
Even though your soul may have been in hundreds of different places before it reaches you, the human experience has similarities no matter where you are. Arguing about a friend or grieving the loss of a loved one are some examples that might give you deja vu.
Identify with Another Culture
Have you ever felt like you fit in more with a different culture than the one you were born into? Perhaps you only speak English, but Spanish music entices you. Or maybe you are especially drawn to a different religion than your family, such as Buddhism. These can all be signs of a past life.
Souls know no culture or race. That means that even if you’re living in the United States, your soul might have been an Egyptian princess in a past life. It’s important to remember that past lives aren’t always glamorous.
However, our social status on Earth has no bearing on our souls. They can pass through many different cultures in different class systems and find ways to learn the lessons necessary for transcendence.
Strange Pains
You could feel ailments from a past life if you have random, inexplicable pains. Chest pains, for example, might stem from having pneumonia in a past life. Even though it might sound morbid, if you constantly have headaches or migraines, it could mean that you died from a gunshot to the head.
Physical pain isn’t the only thing that could indicate a past life. Unexplained emotional pain can also carry over from one life to the next. For some people, this is the root cause of anxiety and depression. While not everyone with these ailments can benefit from a past life regression, it could benefit those with a soul experience.
Inexplicable Knowledge
Have you ever felt like a “natural” at something? People with past lives can have inexplicable knowledge from their soul’s previous experiences. For example, if you were a mathematician in a past life, you might breeze through math class quicker than your peers. Some child geniuses may also have had past lives where they were a scholar, which allows them to operate at a higher mental capacity when compared to others.
However, your ability to succeed in school isn’t the only type of inexplicable knowledge that might come from a past life. You could also have excellent arguing skills. You might also intuitively know how to comfort those around you without being taught to do so.
Inexplicable Skills
Have you always been an exceptional artist? Have you been cooking or singing since you were a toddler? These are all examples of skills you might have from a past life. It is not uncommon for a soul to carry on its passions from life experience to life experience, so if you have inexplicable skills, you’ve probably had past lives.
The difference between being good at something and having inexplicable skills from a past life is simple: how easily it comes to you. If you practice something once and feel like you’ve been doing it for a lifetime, it’s probably a skill from a past life.
Recurring Dreams
Recurring dreams might be your soul’s way of showing you a rendition of a past life. These frequent dreams can be a way for the soul to process traumas from its previous experiences. On the other hand, recurring dreams can also signify a way to relive the delightful moments in a life prior.
