    7 Signs Your Child Has Past Life Memories

    BHI Editorial TeamJuly 14, 2021

    This guide covers past life regression training. Has your child ever said something to you that seemed so far-fetched, you thought it was a silly made-up story?

    Kids say the darndest things, or do they?

    Often, children make references to their own past lives like it’s no big deal, while others can be haunted or even traumatized from their past life experiences.

    Here are 7 Signs Your Child Has Past Life Memories

    1. Birthmarks and Body Markings

    2. Old Soul, Young Body

    3. Recurring Nightmares or Night Terrors

    4. Imaginary Friends

    5. Remembering Non-Existent Family Members

    6. Unexplainable Talent

    7. Accurate Information of Past Events Before They Were Born

    Birthmarks and Body Markings

    A psychiatrist who worked for the University of Virginia conducted a study and found a correlation between children who reported remembering how they died or attained serious injuries in their previous life and birthmarks or birth defects on their bodies in their current life.

    Old Soul, Young Body

    Does your child seem like an adult in a kid’s body? We’ve all encountered a child that seems wise beyond their years. Their eyes hold a certain knowingness. This could be a sign that your child has had many past lives.

    Recurring Nightmares or Night Terrors

    Bad dreams can be very intense for children. As parents, it is easy to write it off as “just a bad dream”. But if your child has the same bad dream over and over again it may be a sign that they are accessing past life memories.

    Imaginary Friends

    Often kids make up imaginary friends to play with…at least that is the explanation most parents agree to. If the conversation between your child and your child’s imaginary friend sounds a little too grown-up this could also be a sign that your kid is accessing past life memories.

    Remembering Non-Existent Family Members

    Sometimes children talk about their brothers and sisters even though in their current life, they are the only child in their family. They may even talk about their mothers or fathers from previous lifetimes. “My mom before you” or “My other family” may be phrases your kids say to you. This could be children’s memories of having a sibling or other family members in a past life. The memory is still strong in their youth.

    Unexplainable Talent

    Is your child an excellent singer? Do they have musical talents or athletic abilities that do not match your family’s gene code? Child prodigies are rare and can be a sign that your kid is accessing past talents and abilities from other lifetimes.

    Accurate Information of Past Events Before They Were Born

    Kids can surprise us by talking about things that their parents swear their child has never been exposed to, with such detail, nuance, and accuracy, the phenomenon always takes us off-guard. This could be resurfacing memories of a previous life.

    Does your child exhibit any of these 7 signs of past life memories?

    Maybe you had some of these experiences as a child yourself?
