Reincarnation is the idea that efter the body dees, a body’s saul or mind is born again, in a new body. Ither names for the same thing: rebirth, the flittin o sauls. In learnit an philosophical writin ye’ll whiles see the wird \u00abmetempsychosis\u00bb.<\/p>\n
A past life is a life that the saul is thocht tae hae lived afore this ane. A memory o a past life is pictures, feelins an knawledge that a body cannae explain by whit they’ve been throu in this life.<\/p>\n

There’s nae direct scientific pruif o reincarnation. But there’s research that’s lookit gey seriously at memories o past lives. Here’s the three main airts.<\/p>\n
The best-kent research wis din by the psychiatrist Ian Stevenson o the University o Virginia (USA). Fae the 1960s he traivelt the warld an wrote doon bairns’ stories o past lives: in Indie, Sri Lanka, Lebanon, Turkey, Thailand, an amang the Tlingit fowk o Alaska. He checkit the names, places an happenins the bairns spak o. His archive hauds mair nor 2500 cases. His first buik wis \u00abTwenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation\u00bb (1966). In the buik \u00abReincarnation and Biology\u00bb (1997) he compared bairns’ birthmerks wi the wounds o the deid fowk the bairns talked aboot.<\/p>\n
The bairns’ psychiatrist Jim Tucker cairries on Stevenson’s wark. His buiks are \u00abLife Before Life\u00bb an \u00abReturn to Life\u00bb. Maistly bairns stairt talkin aboot a past life at 2\u20134 year auld, an by 6\u20137 thae stories fade awa.<\/p>\n
Mair: bairns that mind past lives.<\/p>\n
Regression is a wey o warkin whaur a body, lowsed an at ease, aften wi the help o hypnosis, minds things fae the past, past lives an aw. In the 1970s the psychologist Helen Wambach ran group sessions wi mair nor a thoosand volunteers. Maist o them didnae tell o the lives o weel-kent fowk, but o the semple lives o fermers an craftsfowk. Regression cam tae be weel kent efter the psychiatrist Brian Weiss’s buik \u00abMany Lives, Many Masters\u00bb (1988).<\/p>\n
Mair: whit past-life regression is, hou a session gangs an the wiki airticle \u00abPast-life regression\u00bb.<\/p>\n
The hypnotherapist Michael Newton (1931\u20132016) didnae write aboot past lives, but aboot whit fowk mind o the time atween them. His buiks are \u00abJourney of Souls\u00bb (1994) an \u00abDestiny of Souls\u00bb (2000). In them cam ideas that mony fowk ken the day: the spirit warld, the saul group, spirit guides. His students are trained by The Newton Institute. Dolores Cannon (1931\u20132014) made her ain hypnosis technique, QHHT.<\/p>\n

Doutin scientists say that memory can mix up imagination, buiks ye’ve read, films an hints. Unner hypnosis a body can \u00abmind\u00bb things that never happent. I think awbody should ken this. A guid encyclopedia disnae promise miracles. It shaws facts, research an different opinions, an ye mak up yer ain mind.<\/p>\n
Ye can mind a past life throu regression. It’s easier an cawmer wi a specialist. Here’s whit tae dae, step by step.<\/p>\n
