I will admit that I am not an expert in the area of past lives and children, but in my 35+
years of reincarnation research and therapy, I know enough to recognize the signs of past-
life memory.
Just within my own life, I need look no further than my three beautiful grandchildren. My
grandson will be eight and has started to raise questions about, of all things, Atlantis. I was
a bit upset when his father told him that there is no proof of the existence of Atlantis and
threw cold water on the boy's insatiable curiosity. This put me in an awkward position
because, as a former Atlantean myself, there is much I could tell him, but as every
grandparent knows, you have to walk a very thin line so as not to contradict what a parent
says.
Another example of a possible past-life memory is that this same grandson calls my
youngest granddaughter Jin-Jin. No one knows where he got that name, but I have a
sneaking suspicion he remembers her from a prior life in which her name was, indeed, Jin-
Jin.
Then there's my middle granddaughter, who is five. She has had an issue with speech.
When she was first starting to talk, she spoke so fast that her words were unrecognizable.
To me, it sounded as if she was speaking a different language. I often wanted to tell her we
weren't speaking Atlantean anymore! As she gets older, her speech is improving but I still
have a sense she was speaking a language of some sort that only she understood. This same
granddaughter started calling my grandson by the name of Geoffrey. That's not his name,
but you could not convince her of that. Now that she's older, she uses his real name but for
a while, he was Geoffrey to her. Hmmm…..
Then we come to my youngest granddaughter. My daughter had a hard time coming up
with a name for her and even now isn't sure she picked the right one. But I was always
sure, because the name she gave her was the name of my son in my previous life. This
grandchild is especially close to me and I have always said, the universe sent her as a gift
for me. I relish the time I spend with her and the other two–the greatest joys in my life.
I am sure if you give it some thought, a child in your life may have said something that
bewildered you and yet may have been a clue as to their former life. Remember, we travel
in soul groups, so they have been with you before and are here to assist you–and for you to
assist them–in accomplishing their karmic mission. But isn't it fascinating to wonder who
they were in a prior life? Listen and put on your detective caps to find out!
