First Time? How To Tell if You've Lived a Past Life

Have you ever found yourself wondering, "What was my past life like?" 

You're not alone! The idea of reincarnation and past lives have always fascinated people. Still, the idea of living another life before your current one can seem a bit like a made-up fantasy ... until you start to understand the signs. The fact is, past lives can come creeping into our daily existence more than we realize.

How Can We Understand Past Lives?

Have you ever felt an unsettling sense of familiarity in a place you're 100% sure you've never been? Or experienced weird, recurring dreams or bizarre, unexplained fears? It's possible you've lived a past life.

Often, past life memories are linked with traumatic feelings, which indicates those who have led past lives have some kind of unfinished business to take care of. For example, many past life memories seem linked to a past self who has died young or violently. You'll come across plenty of creepy-sounding stories of young kids rattling off uncanny details, too (think: "I died in a car crash with my other mom").

But delving into past lives doesn't have to be all gloom and doom! By exploring your past lives via past life regression therapy or a past life tarot reading, you can gain insight into details in your current existence that don't quite make sense. Maybe you feel connected to another culture or you have a cool birthmark. Maybe you have a habit or hobby that seems to come out of nowhere. Spoiler alert: This may not be your first time on earth! Here are some ways you can tell if you've lived a past life.

Unusual Memories or Deja Vu

We've all heard the stories of kids with memories of childhood events that absolutely didn't happen. Sure, you could chalk that up to a kid with a super active imagination coming up with a detailed fantasy. Sometimes, though, the information seems too odd or specific for a young kid to come up with on their own. Could that child be remembering something that really happened to them, just before they were born in this lifetime?

Maybe something like this has happened to you. Whether your parents love to tell that quirky tale about memories you used to talk about or you continue to have some of these memories today, it's possible you've lived a past life. Human memory has tons of errors and incongruities, after all. If you think you have a memory that doesn't make sense in the context of your lived experience, see if you can catch details like landmarks or addresses. Real-world clues you can research can give you insight into a potential past life.

Then there's that classic feeling of deja vu. If you've ever suddenly felt like you've experienced an event in exactly the same way previously, you've experienced deja vu. Many believe these feelings are vague and fleeting memories of a past life.

Fears and Phobias

People are naturally afraid of things that are dangerous. However, lots of folks have fears and phobias that could be considered totally irrational. Things like fears of birds, water, colors, and any range of odd fears may have carried over from a past life. So, if you're deathly afraid of water, despite having no living memory of a water related trauma, for instance, it's possible your previous life ended by drowning.

Dreams or Nightmares

Beyond daytime memories or deja vu experiences, memories of past lives can come through in the form of recurring dreams or nightmares. If you're having constant dreams that portray places or things that seems mundane or ordinary, you might be remembering a specific experience you lived during your past life. Likewise, if you keep encountering people you don't know in your current day-to-day existence while you're in dreamland, you might have had a relationship with these folks in a previous lifetime. Nightmares that haunt you could reflect trauma you experienced in a past life that now cling to your spirit.

Pain You Can't Explain

If you have physical pain that has no obvious medical explanation, it could be coming from something that happened to you in the past. Of course, make sure you speak to a healthcare professional if you're experiencing physical symptoms to make sure you don't have an underlying issue that requires treatment. But if it's proving impossible to find a root cause of your pain, you might have a signal from a past life on your hands.

Inexplicable Skills and Deep Passions

Strong passions can also indicate evidence of a past life. This will go deeper than hobby-level interests. Instead, your past-life passion would be so strong you feel like you can't resist it. Bonus points if it's something your present-day family and friends have no talent for or interest in! For example, if you come from a storied line of off-key singers but had the chops for Broadway performances since you were just a little kid, you might have carried that talent along through multiple lives.
