Signs that you have had a past life

"The soul is not born;

it does not die;

it was not produced from anyone;

Unborn, eternal, it is not slain, though the body is slain.

– Katha Upanishad

Rebirth of energy and even life occurs around us in different forms and shapes every day. The cycle of nature – day and night, the motion of the earth, sun, moon and solar system, the life of a plant – growth, death, release of its seeds from which it sprouts again. Reincarnation is very nature of life.

Some of us have experienced extraordinary feelings, sensations, memories that seem to occur from a mysterious experience.

Below in this article, we will be exploring many different signs that could mean that you have reincarnated.

2/9

​Unreasonable phobias and fears

It is believed that we can experience the traumas from our past lives in our present life in the form of fear or phobias. Some examples can be fear from drowning, fear of certain animal, fear of certain places, fear from a particular number, colour, object without any valid reason.

Past life regression is a hypnotherapy that can help discover the reason behind unexplained fears if they are related to your past life.

3/9

​Recurring dreams

We see dreams as the reflection of our unconscious mind and repetitive dreams as signifying trauma, fears and issues that our brain hasn’t been able to resolve. But many people also claim, repetitive dreams related to which you have not experienced anything in your present are actually related to your past. Going to a specific place that seems very familiar but you feel you haven’t ever walked there, may also be something from your past.

4/9

​Déjà vu

We all have experienced Déjà vu at many points in our lives. It’s a bizarre feeling that you have lived a particular moment before. While some claim Déjà vu is a neurological dissonance, others believe it is revealing something from your past life experiences.

5/9

​Attraction to a place, time or culture

A feeling of familiarity, fondness and longing for a place where you have never been or have no connection with can be a sign it’s from your past life. If you love to read about a particular period in history or always wish that you could go back in time to live at that age, could point to your past life.

6/9

​Kids having out of place memories

Sometimes you may find funny what kids say as they are not making sense to you. But some are seemingly able to remember their past life details with great accuracy till the age of 3. When your child is convinced of what he says but you being the parent can’t relate to it, the child could be talking about his past life.

7/9

​Precognition

Precognition is also called ‘second sight’ or ‘future sight’. It’s an ability to attain information about the future. Precognition can be achieved through vision, feeling, dreams and sensations.

8/9

​Retrocognition

Yes, you guessed it right, it’s the opposite of precognition. The ability to obtain the information from the past that is not usually available can be a sign of soulful reincarnation.

9/9

​You feel older than your age

Some people are young at heart even later in their lives, the same way some people are old souls at a very young age. Feeling older than your age is commonly associated with having reincarnated many times. You are an old or a mature soul if you feel older than your age.
