f you are looking for compelling evidence for reincarnation, try this on. We are all familiar with birthmarks, yet more often than not, we think of them as simply some type of birth deformity. There is growing evidence that these birthmarks are a type of psychic traumatic residue or memory imprint of a fatal cause of death in a previous life.

Dr. Ian Stevenson, M.D. is considered one of the world's leading experts in survival after death and the study of past lives. He has documented over 200 cases revealing the link between birthmarks and cause of death in a past life. Dr. Stevenson obtained many hospital and/or autopsy reports of the previous named personality revealed in a past life session. He found that not only did the injuries occur to the previous named person, but that the bodily areas where they occurred correspond to the location of a present birthmark or deformity. His most recent book on the subject: "Where Reincarnation and Biology Intersect," Praeger Publishing, 1997.

It is not uncommon for children between two and four years of age to talk matter-of-factly about their previous life. I have met many of these children. Their memory usually begins with names of people they previously knew or places they lived. Many parents discourage this line of talk and unfortunately the memory normally begins to fade about the time they enter school, between the ages of five and eight.

Fortunately with tools like regressive hypnosis, or Past Life Therapy, I am able to help adults recapture many of these important memories which help to explain and heal many issues including phobias, relationships and purpose of current life.

In my next article "Past Life Memories", I will show how tapping into your past lives can transform your life, and reveal some interesting cases of children who spoke in past life languages.
