  • Children's Past Life Memories and Healing
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine Journal Archives (E-Journal) Community Address CHILDREN’S PAST LIFE MEMORIES AND HEALING by Carol Bowman ABSTRACT Young children all over the world have spontaneous memories of previous lives, regardless of the religious beliefs of the parents. It’s a natural phenomenon. Children usually begin speaking of “when they were big before” or “when they died” around the age of three, and may speak of their memories for a period of a few years. Many of the memories children recall are of traumatic deaths, which may continue to affect a child in their present life as phobias and other emotional problems. By combining what I’ve learned from collecting my own cases of children’s past life memories for more than twenty years, and from the large body of research of spontaneous past life memories from Dr. Ian Stevenson, with the healing model of past life therapy with adults, I derive a method of healing traumatic past life memories as they emerge spontaneously in early childhood. By studying the cases of children who speak with conviction of their other lives, we also observe that many aspects of the child’s present personality have carried forward intact from the past life: behaviors, emotions, phobias, talents, knowledge, the quality of relationships, and even physical symptoms. The fact that these personality traits carry forward suggests a new way of looking at personality formation and a theory of personality that spans lifetimes. The children’s cases also add an important piece to the metaphysical discussion of the survival of consciousness after death, because it is clear from the cases that some form of personal consciousness continues from one life to another.

    Tucker, Stevenson, Weiss, and Life: Renditions of the Transcendent View From Past- Life Memories John C. Gibbs, PhD The Ohio State University ABSTRACT: The work of researcher Jim Tucker and regression therapist Brian Weiss on past-life memories suggests a transcendent or non- reductionist view of human life. In this view, mental life or consciousness does not entirely re- duce to the neural activity of the brain, and bodily death involves a return to a nonphysical realm. This view is also suggested from other phenomena such as near- death experiences. The transcendent view from past- life memories entails two renditions. One rendition derives from Tucker’s—and​­ late senior colleague Ian Stevenson’s—​­empirical verifications of children’s past- life claims. Weiss’s psychotherapy- based rendition is more impressionistic and subject to the vul- nerabilities of the hypnotic method—​­as noted by both Tucker and Stevenson. Both renditions must contend with the theodicic problem (intensely rendered by Harold Kushner). Many questions remain. Nonetheless, Tucker’s, Stevenson’s, Weiss’s, and other authors’ related work may suffice to support a transcendent understanding of human life. KEY WORDS: past- life memories; Jim Tucker; Ian Stevenson; Brian Weiss; regression therapy; near-death experiences What happens when a person dies? Physiologically, one’s heart stops beating, one stops breathing, and one’s eyes dilate and fix as brain function is lost (Parnia, 2006). Poetically, one’s breath becomes air (Kalanithi, 2016). “The living gaze—​­even if the person in question was very old and that gaze was vague and flickering—​­goes flat” (Alex- ander, 2014, p.

  • The Reincarnation Experience As a Bridge to Higher Spiritual Truth
    THE REINCARNATION EXPERIENCE AS A BRIDGE TO HIGHER SPIRITUAL TRUTH by KAREN LYNNE FRAZIER to The Department of Graduate Studies of the University of Metaphysics in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF METAPHYSICAL SCIENCE This Thesis Has Been Accepted for the University of Metaphysics by: _________________________________________________ Thesis Supervisor __________________________________________________ Dean __________________________________________________ President July 2, 2014 Acknowledgements When my son, Tanner, was three years old, I asked him a question. “Tell me about before I was your mom,” I said to him one night as we snuggled in his bed after story time. His eyes widened and his entire face lit up. “Ohhhhhhhhhh!” he exclaimed happily, as if he had been waiting for me to ask him that question for years. “I was a doctor on a boat to Africa!” “Really?” I said. “Tell me about it.” For the next ten minutes, he did. He talked in a matter of fact tone about sailing routes and patients. He discussed feeling good about the people he could help, as well as his frustration and sadness in the cases he wasn’t able to help. Hearing the thoughts and feelings of a mature man in the high-pitched and enthusiastic voice of a three-year-old boy was surreal. It seemed he had a story to tell, and he’d just been waiting for someone to ask. Tanner is now an 18-year-old college freshman. While he has heard the story of this conversation over the years, he has little to no recollection of participating in it.

    FREERETURN FROM HEAVEN: BELOVED RELATIVES REINCARNATED WITHIN YOUR FAMILY EBOOK Carol Bowman | 288 pages | 01 May 2003 | HarperCollins Publishers Inc | 9780061030444 | English | New York, NY, United States Return from Heaven: Buy Return from Heaven by Bowman Carol at Low Price in India | This amazing discovery offers hope for anyone who longs to be reunited with a deceased relative or loved one. And it shows that reincarnation can be practical—and very personal. It is empirical, based on direct observation of very young children—some as young as two and still in diapers. Carol Bowman began collecting cases in not as a researcher, but as a mother trying to understand the past life memories of her own two children. Then, in the hundreds of cases that came to her since its publication, Bowman noticed a high percentage in which the child had unmistakable memories of Return from Heaven: Beloved Relatives Reincarnated Within Your Family recently-deceased relative. These true Return from Heaven: Beloved Relatives Reincarnated Within Your Family hold powerful lessons for everyone, not just parents. Some give fresh insight into metaphysical questions, such as how we choose our parents. Others cast a new light on miscarriage and abortion. Common to all is the lesson that Return from Heaven: Beloved Relatives Reincarnated Within Your Family is not the end of life, and that relationships continue despite death. A general explanation of family return same-family reincarnation is illustrated with two cases. A single extraordinary case, full of physical proof, of a child who dies at the age of two and is reborn to the same mother.
