This is the first of two mini-series on past life memories. There have been over 2,500 cases of past life memories in children. It is estimated that the previous deceased person could be found from the child’s past life memories in between a third to two-thirds of cases. We present the three common features of children who experience past life memories;
(1) the child’s behavior is unusual for the culture of the family.
(2) the majority of children with past-life memories have phobias that correspond to how the previous life past passed.
(3) There are associations between birthmarks on the skin and how the deceased past passed.

The final part of the podcast discusses children’s claims who have in-between life memories. Finally, we discuss the strengths and limitations of past life memory research.
