Powerful Teachings from our Children’s Past Lives
By Elizabeth Marglin
If you ever wanted—or needed—a reminder that everything is orchestrated in our lives, tune into GaiamTV.com’s engaging interview with Carol Bowman, “The Past Lives of Children.” Bowman, an internationally known author, lecturer, counselor, past life regression therapist and pioneer in reincarnation studies, sets the scene by presenting case studies of children from all over the world, including her own son. In fact, it was Bowman’s son Chase and his explicit recall of his earlier life, which inspired her to focus her past life research on children. She explains how we can listen to our children’s stories with more receptive ears—and ask the right questions to gain a deeper understanding.
A child’s window of remembrance is fairly narrow. Past life memories, says Bowman, are typical in children up to seven years old. Beyond spontaneous statements about their past, other clues can shed light on their past life experience; behaviors such as phobias or physical issues often correspond to children’s memories—particularly of their death—of their past life.
