Reincarnation is the widely held belief that the Soul survives death of the physical body and lives on, as a non-physical energetic form, upon a higher plane of existence (the Spirit Realm).
After some time spent reviewing lessons from the events of the previous lifetime, the Soul may seek to return to the Earth Plane in the body of a newly conceived fetus to be born to a new life.
This new life can be expressed as a different gender, race, culture, or religion than the previous life. However, the purpose for each new life is always the same; to provide opportunities for Soul growth, and the Soul has actually chosen the circumstances of their own new life.
A Soul may reincarnate thousands of times before reaching a point of spiritual development or “Enlightenment” when they no longer have a need to reincarnate.
A part of the Soul always remains in the Spirit Realm while another part reincarnates (or multiple parts reincarnate simultaneously in multiple bodies).
A Soul living on the Earth Plane in a body can experience bleed through memories, or more troublesome emotional, psychological, or physical symptoms that are not related to their current life, but rather to a previous, or a concurrent life.
These bleed through symptoms can cause dysfunction in the current lifetime and unfortunately can’t be healed in the current life’s body/mind without a visit to the previous life from which they originated.
As a Reiki Master/Teacher and Practitioner, I see many clients who have bleed through previous life symptoms that have been triggered by an event in the current life.
Often, these clients have been to all manner of traditional healthcare professionals and received testing with no resultant diagnosis, because they do not actually have the disease in the current body.
This is when they will turn to an energy healer, or a Past Life Regression Hypnotherapist who can access the previous life’s source of the current symptoms for a healing response.
When the Soul Sheds Its Physical Body
At the time of death of the physical body, the Soul residing in that body rises out of it and floats above it for a time while still emotionally attached to it and to the people and circumstances connected to the life that has just ended.
The newly disembodied Soul may be disoriented and attracted to the Earth Plane for some time; maybe even years which will seem like only seconds to the Soul. The concept of linear time is only active on the Earth Plane.
Following physical death of its body, there will be a strong magnetic pull on the Soul to move away from the Earth Plane and on to the Spirit Realm.
As the Soul eventually moves away from the Earth Plane they will move through a grayish tunnel like portal into a bright light where they are met by previously deceased loved ones (including pets) and their main Spirit Guide and mentor, who is with them through all of their incarnations.
Life Between Lives in the Spirit Realm
Once “Home,” the Soul will receive reorientation into the Spirit Realm and healing if damaged by their previous human personality, or traumatic events of their previous life.
There is a review of the previous lifetime events with their Spirit Guide, but no judgment or punishment is ever meted out, rather compassionate advice is given. Then the Soul itself chooses when it’s ready to reincarnate again and which lessons it will work on in each lifetime.
Contrary to the Christian belief of an eternal heavenly reward, the Soul’s “life between human lives” in the Spirit Realm is oriented toward continual work for growth of the Soul. At some point of attainment, a Soul no longer needs to reincarnate, and will remain in the Spirit Realm and become the Spirit Guide for another Soul(s).
Souls belong to a group of Souls who are on the same level of development. Soul group members assist one another, both in the Spirit Realm and the Earth Plane, in order to attain higher levels of spiritual development.
Moreover, when a Soul incarnates on the Earth Plane it does not do so alone; for some members of their Soul group incarnate with them, while others remain in the Spirit Realm to nudge them toward their pre-incarnate goals.
Simultaneously incarnated Soul group members have agreed beforehand to play parts in each other’s lives to provide Soul lessons that each Soul has chosen for themselves prior to incarnation.
Although, written in a different context, the late playwright, William Shakespeare wrote a line in his play, As You Like It, that seemingly describes reincarnation, “All the world’s a stage and all men and women are merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts…”
Pioneers in the Study of Reincarnation and Past Life Regression
Brian Weiss, M.D. – a Psychiatrist and Master Hypnotherapist who was a skeptic of Reincarnation until, while attempting to regress a patient with hypnosis to her early childhood memories, she accidentally regressed further into a previous lifetime. Weiss was shocked by his patient’s detailed account of her previous life.
When Weiss regressed this patient in subsequent sessions to many previous lifetimes; the traumas of which seemed to hold the key to her unexplained anxiety and panic attacks of her current life.
Amazingly, becoming aware of the events of these previous lifetimes had a healing effect on his patient where other more traditional therapies had failed her.
Weiss then became a pioneer in the practice of Past Life Regression Therapy, recording the sessions of scores of patients over decades. He incorporated these sessions into a groundbreaking book, Many Lives, Many Masters, chronicling his journey from skeptic to believer, and then to proponent of reincarnation.
Weiss also wrote subsequent books on the wisdom and healing that can be acquired through the practice of Past Life Regression Therapy.
Michael Newton, Ph.D. – a Psychologist and Master Hypnotherapist who had been conducting past life regressions on his patients and accidently caught one patient between two lives. Newton was astounded and inquired as to what the world between two human lives, or the Spirit Realm, was like.
The account that Newton’s first patient caught between two lives gave him was repeated almost verbatim over decades by hundreds of subsequent patients who were from differing races, cultures, and religious orientations.
The afterlife that Newton’s patients described is one of eternal study in order to perfect the Soul with their true home being a Spirit Realm that is generically spiritual, rather than religious.
Under hypnotic regression Newton’s patients reported that although there is a loving and spiritual “Source” energy (the Presence) in the Spirit Realm, there are no signs of any of the world’s organized religions to be found there. This is due to religions being manmade institutions, and nothing manmade enters the Spirit Realm. Instead, the Spirit Realm consists of a universal spirituality, inclusive of all.
The part of Newton’s patients’ description that religions don’t exist in the Spirit Realm is somewhat disheartening for those who are attached to their chosen religion, along with its ritual practices. However, the revelation that Souls do survive death, and live on to be met up with again in the Spirit Realm, is quite comforting to all those who have lost loved ones.
Newton has written several books that are collections of actual transcripts of his patients’ “life between lives” sessions. Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls are the first two of Newton’s books and should be read in this order.
Newton also has written a text titled, Life Between Lives that he uses to teach Hypnotherapists how to regress patients to a period between two lives in order to investigate their Soul’s true identity, which is who they are in the Spirit Realm between their earthly lives.
Many more scientists have researched the possibility of reincarnation by investigating the accounts given by children who claim to still remember their previous life, including their name, where they lived, and how they died. And in some cases, records have shown that a person by that name, from that location, actually died in the manner the child has claimed. Mind blowing!
Summary
Science knows that the human organism is an energetic being and no form of energy can ever die, it can only be transformed into another form of energy.
Therefore, we may take comfort in the mounting evidence that the Soul survives death, which means our deceased loved ones are still around us, just in a non-physical energetic form.
Personally, I know there are no real goodbyes, for I’m certain I will meet up with my deceased loved ones from this life (and previous lives) in the Spirit Realm, and will share many future lives with them along this great continuum of existence.
