We understand that physical wounds take time to he We understand that physical wounds take time to heal, but we tend to not see that’s also the case with emotional ones. 

You can still feel tender in an area even as you’re recovering and getting better at handling similar situations.

As a matter of fact, actually FEELING the hurt can be a significant part of the healing, because it means you’re acknowledging it and not *suppressing* it or *numbing* it.

And you’re probably building or rebuilding a new skill. Ask any person who has had to go thru physical therapy and let them tell you what a b!tch it was — but if they didn’t go thru that part of the recovery, they’d never operate in a healthy way again.

So if you have an emotional reaction to something when you thought you were over it, don’t beat yourself up. It doesn’t mean no progress has been made or that you’re starting over… just like a large, sensitive bruise doesn’t mean you that you never had surgery.

You might even have a *scar* there and that’s okay, too. There are a billion stages to healing ♥️

I was well aware of my anxiety for a long time, bu I was well aware of my anxiety for a long time, but because I had *high-functioning* depression I didn’t have the “regular” symptoms I associated with the condition — so I didn’t even know I had it. Even when a therapist pointed it out to me, I scoffed.

THEN when I finally acknowledged that’s what was going on, I became a little too attached to the label. It became a sort of excuse to not deal with things.

The truth was that I didn’t want help. Or rather, I *did* want to feel better but it just felt too overwhelming and exhausting to try, to put the effort into it. I didn’t want to do the work because I didn’t have the ENERGY... and since I believe in reincarnation and the afterlife, I knew my soul would be fine (whereas I used to be afraid of d(e)ath) I just wanted to give up on this life. 

I tell you all this because it’s important to know that just because you’ve found yourself on a spiritual path doesn’t mean you’re going to magically be cured of your struggles. It means you have the tools to heal and progress — but tools are useless without a person to operate them.

The problem is you may not have the energy to swing a hammer or even raise a paintbrush. That’s okay. Start smaller, even if it’s something like scrolling Pinterest for interior decorating ideas.

This analogy may be getting a little out of control. What I’m getting at is that even when you don’t feel like applying any of this shit, keep surrounding yourself with good vibes. Read the books, watch the uplifting videos… surround yourself with people and content that spark something in your soul. Don’t give up, even if you need to pause and rest. The inspiration will come.

Here are what expert Carol Bowman has dubbed The F Here are what expert Carol Bowman has dubbed The Four Signs in determining whether your kid is remembering a past life or is just making shit up for fun. It should be noted that a child doesn’t have to exhibit ALL 4 signs for the memories to be valid. It could be any combination…

1. Matter-of-fact tone — It’s not just *what* the child is saying. It’s *how* they say it. It’s not something silly that’s just made up on the spot. It’s factual to them. It is said with the same confidence as telling you what their teacher’s name is or that they’re holding a blue cup of chocolate milk. Oftentimes, the kid’s tone and voice will change a bit - as though they are suddenly much older than their actual years. Like the child who said he was once “betrothed.” Kinda creepy, right?

2. Consistency over time — Think about all those criminal shows that teach us how to catch a person who is lying.  For one thing, when a person tells a lie (or a kid is just making up a story) it’s harder to keep the story straight if they have to tell it more than once. With untruths, you are *creating* something, not *remembering* it. So, yeah, if your kids is repeatedly telling you the same story of something that happened in his “old life” it’s probably a real memory. (This doesn’t mean he won’t possibly ADD to the story if he remembers more later.) 

3. Knowledge beyond experience - The internet is full of videos showcasing child prodigies. While every child who recalls a past life won’t be a 2yo concert pianist, it’s not uncommon for a kid to have shocking knowledge or a skill he didn’t learn from his family. And plenty of these cases existed long before iPads and YouTube.

Corresponding behavior and traits — This one kinda overlaps with the last sign, but it also includes things like phobias, strange food preferences, and mannerisms, etc. This may also show up as physical characteristics like a birthmark that corresponds with a fatal wound in the last life or as a birth defect ((like my son who was literally born with his intestines out of his body and had to be rushed into surgery)). Dr. Ian Stevenson did EXTENSIVE research on this particular category.

If you find yourself doing this a lot, here’s yo If you find yourself doing this a lot, here’s your reminder that your needs and wants are just as important as anyone else’s. Slow down, take a moment, do something wild and crazy and selfish like drink your coffee while it’s still hot 😂

#selfcarefirst #selflovetips #souls #souljourney #anxietyproblems
Pause for a moment. You can tell when you’re bei Pause for a moment. You can tell when you’re being pushed by fear and when you’re being inspired by joy.

If you’re panicking that a project won’t turn out perfectly, if you struggle to hear even minor criticism, if you have a meltdown the moment things don’t go as planned… That means more concerned with the outcome than the process. 

And THAT is a sign that you’ve been conditioned to believe you have to *earn* love…that your worth is determined by your accomplishments.

My darling, sweet soul. That is not true.

You don’t have to *do* anything. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

So if you *do* decide to pursue something, let it be inspired by genuine interest and bliss. It’s hard for us action-based humans to grasp this, but that is the whole point of being here.

Bruh. Being a human is scary sometimes. It’ can Bruh. Being a human is scary sometimes. It’ can be hard not knowing what comes next.
Watching an episode of Modern Family or The Office for the hundredth time is actually a pretty healthy way to deal with those anxious moments.

Meditation has been a  fantastic resource for me (and so is drinking water and getting in a good workout blah blah) but it won’t help you if it’s something you dread, something that feels boring, something that  feels like an obligation… 

BUT did you know that watching a funny show or a comforting movie is its own form of trance and can have similar benefits? You’re allowed to decompress without feeling guilty about it. It doesn’t make you less spiritual to watch Golden Girls. 
It’s actually a great way to raise your vibration ✨

This, of course, is not a comprehensive list. It’s not even a full list of all the books on the subject that I or have read. The point being there is *so* much valid material out there on reincarnation, past lives, souls, the afterlife, etc.

You can see a good list of books I recommend on my website (l i n k in b i o) or message/comment if you want to send you the l!nk.

The Mind-Blowing Reincarnation Case of Swarnlata Mishra: the Girl Who Sang in a Language from a Past Life

The reincarnation case of Swarnlata Mishra is the true story of a girl who remembered at least 50 verifiable details of her past life.

the reincarnation case of Swarnlata Mishra

For research information regarding the reincarnation case of Swarnlata Mishra, please check the end of this post.

What if your 3yo claimed to remember a past life? You might just write it off as a vivid imagination. But what if she could give you directions to her previous house which was over a hundred miles away? Oh, and she could accurately name and recognize over 20 people she’d never met in this lifetime. She even knew a secret that only existed between a man and his deceased wife.

What if your child could sing more than one song in a language you never taught her - because you yourself don’t speak that language? This is the true story of Swarnlata Mishra’s reincarnation case as documented by the well-known scientist and researcher Ian Stevenson, M.D.

A 3-Year-Old Starts Talking about Her "Other Family"

In the early 1950s, Swarnlata Mishra first began talking about her past life when she was only 3 years old. Her spontaneous memory included more than one witness, and the evidence only got more interesting from there.

Her father had brought her along with him on a trip to a city that was nearly 200 miles south of their home. On the way back, around the halfway mark, Swarnlata suddenly pointed to a road and asked the driver to take them to “my house.” 

The driver didn’t take that road, but Swarnlata didn’t drop the subject. When the group stopped in that same town to have tea,  she admonished them by saying they could have much better tea at “her” house which was nearby.

Her father thought the experience was curious but didn’t take it too seriously. She was barely more than a toddler, after all. He was chagrined to learn that once they were back home, she continued to talk about her past life in more detail with her current siblings. She even gave them the last name of her previous family — Pathak.

Read about the 3-year-old who claimed he was murdered in his last life had a walk-in soul.

Professionals Become Interested in the Reincarnation Case

By the time Swarnlata was 10 years old, word had gotten around that she’d spent the last 6 years or more claiming to remember a past life. A professor named R. Agnihotri invited her, along with her father, to his home. He hoped she could describe her memories to him and some of his friends who were present.

While there, Swarnlata learned that the professor’s wife was from Katni, the town she claimed to have previously lived in. She asked to meet her. When the time came, Swarnlata recognized the woman as someone she knew from the previous life.

To validate her point, Swarnlata shared memories she had with the professor's wife. As an example, she reminded her of a time the two of them had gone to a wedding at Tilora village and had had trouble in finding a latrine. 

Dr. Ian Stevenson doesn’t say as much in his book about the reincarnation case, but you can imagine the woman must have been surprised and impressed because she went on to tell several people about it. For the first time, Swarnalata’s father started taking her past life memories seriously. He wrote down some of her statements, which was useful later when trying to prove the accuracy of her case. 

Parapsychologist Gets Involved

Around 6 months later, in March of 1959, a man named Sri H. N. Banerjee who worked in the Department of Parapsychology at University of Rajasthan, Jaipur also showed interest in Swarnalata’s reincarnation case.

He spent 2 days investigating the case in Chhatarpur, where Swarnlata’s family lived. Then he traveled to Katni to meet with the family she claimed to have once been a part of. Where things get really interesting is that he was able to find the Pathak home based solely on the information given to him by Swarnlata - even though she was only a child and she lived over a hundred miles away at that point. 

Swarnlata Accurately Describes a House She's Never Visited in this Lifetime

Once he arrived, Sri Banerjee was able to confirm 9 different statements Swarnlata had made about the Pathak residence. They were all accurate! And keep in mind, Swarnlata had never visited the Pathak home in this lifetime. When she was 3, she had gestured to the road to get to the house, but she’d not laid eyes on it at this point.

So how did she know the home was white and had black doors with fitted bars? How could she know there were lime furnaces and a railway line visible from the house and a school located behind it? Okay, sure, you could argue that even a stranger could learn and describe the outdoor features of the house. But how did Swarnlata know so much about the inside of it?

How did this little girl know that the front floor of the home was made of stone slabs? How did she know that there were four structured rooms but the other parts were less well finished? 

Even more interesting was the fact that Swarnlata described the house specifically as it had been when Biya, her past life personality, was still alive. When she eventually visited the home as Swarnlata, she accurately commented on several changes that had been made in the last 20 years since Biya’s death.

More Proof in the Reincarnation Case - Swarnlata Recognizes over 20 People from Her Past Life

My favorite part of Swarnlata’s reincarnation case is just how many people she recognized — even when they actively tried to deceive, test, and trick her. 

In the summer of 1959, not long after Sri H. N. Banerjee (the guy from the Department of Parapsychology) visited, some members of the Pathak family decided to travel to Swarnlata’s home town. They’d clearly had their interest piqued, but they were also cautious. 

It was a large group that included Biya’s widowed husband, one of her sons, and a bunch of townspeople she’d never met. These men were specifically brought along in an effort to see if she would falsely claim to know any of them. 

I want to take this moment to remind everyone that this was happening in India during the 1950’s - a time before smartphones and social media and Google. Swarnlata’s family didn’t even have a radio until around 1956, let alone more advanced technology. As a matter of fact, one of the standout things she described about her past life was the fact that her previous family owned an automobile — a pretty big deal at the time. 

So when this group of men showed up unannounced in Swarnlata’s town, what happened next was like something out of a movie. (Fun fact, when she was this age, there were no movie theaters in any of the towns she lived in… just to reiterate the fact that she wasn’t getting any of this shit from TV.)

Swarnlata Reveals a Family Secret that Only One Other Living Person Knew

First, Biya’s brother showed up at Swarnlata’s home with no warning. He didn’t even introduce himself to her father. Swarnlata recognized him immediately, and she called him Babu, an appropriate term for Biya’s eldest brother. 

Next, a meeting was arranged with the large group of travelers and Swarnlata was asked to name each person present. When she came to Sri Pandey, Biya’s husband, she didn’t just say she knew him. Her behavior changed. She acted bashful the way Hindu wives traditionally do in front of their husbands. 

Swarnlata was also able to pick Biya's husband out in a photograph of 9 people that had been taken 40 years earlier. And if that wasn’t enough to solidify the point, she mentioned to him about a time he had taken over a thousand rupees from Biya’s box of money. This was something that literally no one but he and his deceased wife knew about!

Family Members Try to Trick Swarnlata

This is where things got sneaky. Though Swarnlata recognized Biya’s oldest son, Murli, immediately, he denied the truth. He committed to the deception and pretended she was mistaken for a full day. Murli had also brought a friend with him and he told Swarnlata that it was his younger brother (Biya’s other son). 

Swarnlata was not deceived by either trick. She insisted Murli was her (Biya’s) son and that the person he’d brought with him was not her other son. This is extra impressive if you consider that Murli was 13 years old when Biya died. At the time of meeting Swarnlata he was 35 years old. 

(Can you imagine being a 35-year-old person meeting a child who is less than half your age who claims to be your mother reborn?!) As bizarre as it was, Swarnlata passed every test. She recognized her relatives and acquaintances from the past life. And she didn’t claim to know any of the strangers that the Pathak men had brought with them.

Swarnlata’s behavior and her wealth of memories persuaded all of Biya’s family so much so that they completely accepted her as Biya reborn. She remained in contact with the family as she grew up. Each year she participated in Rakhi, a Hindu custom where siblings exchange gifts and renew their devotion to each other. 

At least two relatives admitted to Dr. Ian Stevenson that they personally had had no belief in reincarnation until meeting Swarnlata. She had fully convinced them that she was Biya in a past life and that reincarnation is real. 

The Reincarnation Case Includes a Second Past Life

There were almost 10 years between the death of Biya and the birth of Swarnlata. So, why the large gap in years? According to Swarnlata, she was busy living another life during that time. She said she was a young girl named Kamlesh who died during childhood, when she was only around 9 years old. 

The life of Kamlesh has not been verified the way Biya’s was, but it has a fascinating twist that makes it a standout for any reincarnation case. In 1953, when Swarnlata was around 6 years old (and long before her family owned a radio or entertainment technology of that sort) she began performing dances while singing songs in another language. 

It took an expert by the name of Professor P. Pal to figure out what Swarnlata was singing, because even she didn’t seem to know. Her parents recognized that she was singing in another language but it was so unfamiliar to them that they themselves inaccurately guess what language it. (Thus the need for an expert to figure it out.)

How long does it take to reincarnate? Read more about that here!

The Phenomenon of Xenoglossy

The professor, who was originally from Bengal, recognized the language of the songs as Bengali. Professor Pal noticed that Swarnlata always performed the songs and dances together. It seemed likely she wasn’t capable of doing one without the other. 

When he tried communicating with Swarnlata in Bengali, she was unable to speak it or understand what he was saying. This means she had recitative xenoglossy — she was accurately performing a language she recalled from her past life, but she was by no means fluent in the language. 

Nevertheless, Swarnlata performed the songs several times in a row so that Professor Pal could write down the words. After some research he learned that they all derived from poems — so she was, by no means, singing nonsense. 

In Dr. Ian Steveson’s book Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation, you can see the lyrics and the English translation of each one. Just like all of her memories of the Biya lifetime, Swarnlata never lost her ability to sing or perform these Bengali songs.

Here are what expert Carol Bowman has dubbed The F Here are what expert Carol Bowman has dubbed The Four Signs in determining whether your kid is remembering a past life or is just making shit up for fun. It should be noted that a child doesn’t have to exhibit ALL 4 signs for the memories to be valid. It could be any combination…

1. Matter-of-fact tone — It’s not just *what* the child is saying. It’s *how* they say it. It’s not something silly that’s just made up on the spot. It’s factual to them. It is said with the same confidence as telling you what their teacher’s name is or that they’re holding a blue cup of chocolate milk. Oftentimes, the kid’s tone and voice will change a bit - as though they are suddenly much older than their actual years. Like the child who said he was once “betrothed.” Kinda creepy, right?

2. Consistency over time — Think about all those criminal shows that teach us how to catch a person who is lying.  For one thing, when a person tells a lie (or a kid is just making up a story) it’s harder to keep the story straight if they have to tell it more than once. With untruths, you are *creating* something, not *remembering* it. So, yeah, if your kids is repeatedly telling you the same story of something that happened in his “old life” it’s probably a real memory. (This doesn’t mean he won’t possibly ADD to the story if he remembers more later.) 

3. Knowledge beyond experience - The internet is full of videos showcasing child prodigies. While every child who recalls a past life won’t be a 2yo concert pianist, it’s not uncommon for a kid to have shocking knowledge or a skill he didn’t learn from his family. And plenty of these cases existed long before iPads and YouTube.

Corresponding behavior and traits — This one kinda overlaps with the last sign, but it also includes things like phobias, strange food preferences, and mannerisms, etc. This may also show up as physical characteristics like a birthmark that corresponds with a fatal wound in the last life or as a birth defect ((like my son who was literally born with his intestines out of his body and had to be rushed into surgery)). Dr. Ian Stevenson did EXTENSIVE research on this particular category.

If you find yourself doing this a lot, here’s yo If you find yourself doing this a lot, here’s your reminder that your needs and wants are just as important as anyone else’s. Slow down, take a moment, do something wild and crazy and selfish like drink your coffee while it’s still hot 😂

Pause for a moment. You can tell when you’re bei Pause for a moment. You can tell when you’re being pushed by fear and when you’re being inspired by joy.

If you’re panicking that a project won’t turn out perfectly, if you struggle to hear even minor criticism, if you have a meltdown the moment things don’t go as planned… That means more concerned with the outcome than the process. 

And THAT is a sign that you’ve been conditioned to believe you have to *earn* love…that your worth is determined by your accomplishments.

My darling, sweet soul. That is not true.

You don’t have to *do* anything. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

So if you *do* decide to pursue something, let it be inspired by genuine interest and bliss. It’s hard for us action-based humans to grasp this, but that is the whole point of being here.

Bruh. Being a human is scary sometimes. It’ can Bruh. Being a human is scary sometimes. It’ can be hard not knowing what comes next.
Watching an episode of Modern Family or The Office for the hundredth time is actually a pretty healthy way to deal with those anxious moments.

Meditation has been a  fantastic resource for me (and so is drinking water and getting in a good workout blah blah) but it won’t help you if it’s something you dread, something that feels boring, something that  feels like an obligation… 

BUT did you know that watching a funny show or a comforting movie is its own form of trance and can have similar benefits? You’re allowed to decompress without feeling guilty about it. It doesn’t make you less spiritual to watch Golden Girls. 
It’s actually a great way to raise your vibration ✨
