Has everyone had past lives?

Personally, I believe that we have all had countless past lives.

Each one is like a drop of water in the ocean – each is unique, but ultimately they are all part of the same whole.

Just as we cannot remember all of the drops of water that make up the ocean, we cannot remember all of our past lives.

However, just as the ocean is always there, so too are our past lives.

They are a part of us, shaping who we are in this lifetime.

My thoughts on souls and past lives

Your soul is eternal.

It has existed since the beginning of time and will exist long after your physical body has passed away.

Throughout your soul’s journey, it has taken on many different forms.

Perhaps you have been a man or woman, rich or poor, young or old.

Each life is a learning experience, and each soul grows more with each incarnation.

Some believe that we choose our own experiences to learn specific lessons.

Others believe that our experiences are selected for us to balance out the karma we have accumulated in past lives.

Regardless of how you view it, there is no denying that your soul has a vast history.

And as you continue to explore your own spiritual journey, you may find yourself wondering about your past lives.

13 signs your soul has been here before

1. Deep connection to a particular place

There are many signs that your soul has been here before.

One of the most common is a deep connection to a particular place.

This connection can be hard to explain, but you may feel like you’ve been to this place before or that it’s somehow familiar to you. 

You may even feel a sense of homesickness for a place you’ve never been to before.

2. Recurring dreams or visions

Do you ever have the same dream or vision over and over again?

If so, this could signify that you’ve been here before.

These dreams and visions can take many different forms, but they often involve themes of past lives or previous incarnations.

In some cases, they may even provide glimpses into future events. 

If you find yourself having these kinds of dreams or visions, it may be worth exploring further to see if there is any deeper meaning behind them.

3. Strong intuition or psychic abilities

Intuition is a powerful thing.

For some people, it’s a strong gut feeling that something is true, even if they can’t explain why.

For others, it’s a more psychic ability to sense things about people or events that they couldn’t possibly know otherwise.

If you find that you have strong intuition or psychic abilities, it may be a sign that your soul has been here before.

This is because your soul would have accumulated knowledge and wisdom from all of its previous lifetimes that it can now access in this one.

You may find that you can read the energy or pick up on the emotions of those around you. 

You may also find that you can see beyond the veil of this reality and into other realms or dimensions.

If you have these abilities, it is essential to learn to trust your intuition and use it for guidance because your soul knows things that your conscious mind does not.

4. Feelings of déjà vu

If you’ve ever had the feeling that you’ve been somewhere or done something before, even though you know you haven’t, it could be a sign that your soul has been here before.

This feeling, known as déjà vu, is one of the most common signs people report experiencing when they feel they may have lived a previous life.

While déjà vu can sometimes be chalked up to mere coincidence, if you find yourself experiencing it frequently, it could be a sign that your soul has some unfinished business from a past life.

If you’re trying to figure out if your soul has been here before, paying attention to your feelings of déjà vu is a good place to start.

5. Past life memories

Sometimes, people experience memories of previous lives that they can’t explain.

These memories can come in the form of dreams, visions, or even just sudden flashes of remembrance.

If you have memories of a past life that you can’t explain, your soul may have been here before.

These memories may be buried deep in your subconscious, and it may take some work to bring them to the surface.

But if you feel like you have past life memories, it is worth exploring further to see what they might mean for you.

6. Inexplicable fear or phobias

Do you have a fear or phobia that you can’t explain?

If so, it could be a sign that your soul has been here before.

Sometimes, these fears or phobias are related to something that happened in a previous life.

For example, if you’re afraid of heights, it could be because you fell from a great height in a past life.

Or if you’re afraid of water, it could be because you drowned in a previous life.

These fears or phobias can be irrational, but they often have a deep root in the subconscious mind.

7. Skills or talents that can’t be explained

There are some skills or talents that can’t be explained.

They just come naturally to us, as if we’ve done them before.

Perhaps you’re a natural-born musician or artist or have a gift for languages.

Whatever the skill or talent, it’s something that you feel drawn to and that comes easily to you.

If you have a skill or talent that you can’t explain, you may have been here before.

Pay attention to the things that come easily to you and see if they might be signs that your soul has been here before.

8. A sense of having a mission or purpose in life

Many people go through life without ever really considering what their purpose is.

They float from day to day, not really knowing why they’re here or what they’re supposed to be doing.

But some people have a very strong sense of purpose.

They know exactly what they want to achieve in life, and they’re laser-focused on making it happen.

Having a strong sense of purpose could signify that your soul has been here before.

You may have had a similar mission in a previous life, or you may have been sent here with a specific purpose.

Either way, it’s essential to follow your intuition and trust that you’re on the right path.

9. Intuitively knowing things you shouldn’t know

Intuitively knowing things you shouldn’t is a sign that your soul has been here before.

You may not be able to explain how you know certain things, but you just know them.

It’s like you have a built-in GPS that is guiding you to your next destination.

This inner guidance results from your soul’s previous lifetimes of experience.

Your soul knows the way because it has been there before.

So trust your intuition and follow its guidance. It will lead you to where you need to go.

10. Soul connections with certain people

Have you ever met someone and felt an instant connection with them?

As if you have known them before, in another life?

This isn’t just a coincidence.

It’s a sign that your soul has been here before.

You are attracted to certain people because you share a past life with them.

You might not remember the details of what happened, but your soul does.

That’s why it’s so easy to connect with these people on a deep level.

They feel like home because they are.

So if you find yourself drawn to certain people, don’t fight it.

Embrace the connection and see where it takes you.

Who knows, maybe you’ll even discover a new side of yourself in the process.

11. Not afraid of death

If you’re not afraid of dying, it’s likely because you’ve done it before and know that it’s not the end.

Death is simply a transition from one life to the next, and your soul has been through the cycle many times before. 

This doesn’t mean that you’re reckless or careless with your life; you still value life and want to live it to the fullest.

But you don’t fear death because you know that it’s not the end.

12. Wise beyond your years

If you’re wise beyond your years, it’s because your soul has lived many lifetimes and gathered a lot of wisdom along the way.

You may not remember all of your past lives, but the knowledge is stored in your soul.

This is why you might find yourself giving advice to people even though you’re the same age as them or younger.

The wisdom of your soul is flowing through you, and you can’t help but share it with others.

13. Nothing feels new

Have you ever looked around and felt like you’ve been here before?

Maybe you can’t put your finger on it, but something about your surroundings is just…familiar.

If this is a feeling you’ve had, it could signify that you’ve been here before. 

Your soul has a vast memory, and it’s constantly drawing on its past experiences to guide you in the present.

That’s why nothing feels new to you.; you’ve seen it all before, in another life.


FAQs

Can past life affect present life?

Yes, past lives can affect present life in many ways.

Our unresolved traumas and karmic patterns from previous lifetimes can often carry over into our current incarnation and continue to perpetuate themselves unless we become conscious of them and work to heal them.

If we don’t heal our past wounds, they will continue to show up in our lives in the form of relationship issues, health problems, financial difficulties, etc.

Our past lives can also influence our talents and interests in this lifetime; sometimes, we find ourselves naturally drawn to things that we were passionate about in other lifetimes.

In this way, our past lives can help us to understand ourselves better and guide us towards our highest potential in this lifetime.

What are some signs of past life trauma?

There are many signs of past life trauma, but some common ones include:

  • Recurring nightmares or flashbacks.
  • Intense fears or phobias of things that don’t make logical sense.
  • A feeling of being “stuck” in certain aspects of your life.
  • Health problems that seem to have no explanation.
  • Relationship patterns that keep repeating themselves.

These signs of trauma can be challenging to live with, but it’s important to remember that they are not your fault.

The trauma is in your soul memory, and it’s trying to surface so that you can heal it.

If you’re experiencing any of these signs, it’s good to seek out professional help from a therapist or counselor trained in past life regression.


Final thoughts

There are many signs that your soul has been here before.

If you identify with any of these signs, it’s likely that you have incarnated multiple times and have gathered a great deal of wisdom in previous lifetimes.

Use this knowledge to help you on your journey in this lifetime.

Embrace your past lives and use them as a guide to help you live your best life now.

    Thank you,your down to earth explanations made such sense and held such meaning for my questions. Strangely enough,I suddenly realised I somehow knew the explanations but had somehow forgotten I did! Your article was a welcome and practical reminder of what is important in my daily life,what stores of wisdom are hidden just below the surface of “me” and on my life’s wonderful journey. Blessings to you for reminding me to trust my instincts again.

      You’re very welcome! I’m glad to hear that my explanations were helpful and that they served as a helpful reminder for you. It’s quite common for us to forget what we already know, especially when we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. Sometimes, all we need is a gentle nudge or a fresh perspective to help us remember what’s important and to trust our instincts. Thank you for your kind words, and I wish you all the best on your journey.

    I’ve always known I was over 4,000-5,000 old and had accurate never wrong deja vu that was 10 seconds to over a minute long and could alter what I remembered my next actions to be. I eventually quit because I couldn’t know the downstream effects of alterations. I have almost no memories of the previous lives just pieces, but remember what it feels like to die from illness, fatigue, and medieval shrapnel. Pretty sure I remember sword cut death too since shrapnel was extreme hot then cold radiating out while sword was an ice cold line across followed by the radiating cold and the losing the urge to breathe in and things becoming cold unclear and peaceful. I could do without remembering deaths embrace so much though. I wish I could remember the past lives better than foggy glimpses and feelings of still existing oaths.
