Are Birthmarks Signs of a Past Life?
A new study shows a probable link between the birthmarks on our body and violent events in past lives, which may have caused our “death.”
Birthmarks and Past Lives
Some people believe that we go on living in another body after death, that we lived before. They call it reincarnation. That we all lived before on the earth thousands of years ago or on some other planet. They say we have forgotten it. Some say they remember their past lives.
~ James Joyce
The birthmarks are usually small skin occurrences, and indicators spread throughout our body and maybe spots and moles [1] that have been present on our skin since our birth.
However, there is a belief that these signs can tell accidents suffered in our past lives and even how the death of the person in question occurred
Surely, you have heard the story of the boy Sam, who would have offered convincing evidence that he really was his grandfather’s reincarnation.
Dr. Jim Tucker, a scholar at the University of Virginia, went on to investigate the case and provided some evidence about the fact involving the boy. Another researcher who also investigated such marks was the late Dr. Ian Stevenson, who studied more than 210 cases worldwide, of people born with these birthmarks or defects that could be related to memories and events in their past lives. Between 1966 and 1971, Dr. Stevenson traveled to several countries, interviewing children between two and four years old.
His studies were conducted with young children to offer better results, as they are less likely to lie about the subject matter since they hardly know about the topic.
Some cases show the link between birthmarks and past lives
In some instances, the accuracy of past-life memories can be objectively verified, sometimes with remarkable detail.
~ Stanislav Grof
A curious case about reincarnation was revealed during one of the researches done by Dr. Tucker. In one of his studies, he researched the case of an elderly woman who died in Thailand, but in life, she would have revealed her desire to reincarnate as a child.
Her granddaughter, willing to fulfill her grandmother’s last wish, made a mark on the back of her neck with a “white paste.” After some time the elderly woman passed away, and her granddaughter gave birth to a child, but the most impressive thing is that her son was born with a white mark on the back of his neck, similar to the “white paste” that his grandmother also carried in the same part of the body.
After a few years, the child started to claim everything that belonged to his great grandmother, as if everything would have belonged to her in the past.
This is just one of the cases investigated by the scholar, revealing that birthmarks can have a secure connection with the marks of another life.
Another case analyzed by the scholar was that of an indigenous child who did not have his fingers on his right hand. During the study, the child reported remembering that, in his other life, he was a boy who had his fingers amputated after having an accident with a meat grinder.
All About Curiosities
In some cultures, it is very common to mark the body of dead with soot, to recognize it if they are reincarnated in another body.
During his studies, Dr. Tucker says it is difficult to understand why these marks appear in some places on the skin, but the truth is that approximately 35% of children who carry this on their skin say they remember their past lives. Therefore, it was clear that some past traumas can affect the present, presenting some deformations, phobias, birthmarks, among other manifestations.
Some experts continue to dedicate themselves to the subject and believe devotedly in this connection; others already consider the birthmarks to be normal, stating that all the statements made above are without a solid foundation.
Some people believe that our current incarnations are loaded with physical, psychological, and intellectual traits from past lives. It is even believed that some souls have connections and are destined to find themselves in all incarnations.
Birthmarks as Samskaras
In this regard, the frequent question persists: do birthmarks come from past lives? We can say that this is likely, but it is not a rule. A birthmark may or may not be linked to previous existences; it may be what the ancient called a samskara, an impression left on the astral body like a blemish, that can present itself in the course of many existences.
The nature of the Samskaras is fascinating as some believe that they are part of a Karmic equation, as a holographic impression that can present itself as a mark, like memory or even as recurrent events.
Sometimes it is just a physical mark of the current incarnation, or it may indicate a wound from the past life, for example.
Assigning a physical blemish or mark to past lives could be just an assumption. It may be a simple birthmark or a scar from a childhood injury. In the case of being a mark of previous lives, you will only discover this through reputable Past life regression therapy, in which you will take an out-of-body journey into your past.
In this experience, it is possible to understand what brought the brand to today’s life. It can be both a wound and a pain, including a mark on the soul, so deep that it can continue to be expressed in the present body.
