Psychic Birthmarks
From LoveToKnow Paranormal
There is a growing field of interest in psychic birthmarks. Many believe that the birthmarks people are born with tell something about their psychic past, but do they?
Psychic Birthmarks Explained
According to a popular theory, psychic birthmarks are actually marks that indicate events from our past lives. For instance, a person who was stabbed in the chest during a past life may come back with a port wine stain marking the exact spot where he was stabbed.
Does this mean that all birthmarks are a sign of past lives? That is not necessarily the case. Some birthmarks are hereditary, and some are caused by health conditions. Others, however, may not have a physical or scientific explanation, but rather an explanation that lies in the depths of the human soul.
Examples of Birthmarks
Jeffrey Keene, author of Someone Else’s Yesterday has extremely detailed recollections of being Civil War General, John B. Gordon in a past life. Keene reportedly also has birthmarks on his body that correspond with places where General Gordon was wounded in the war. For example, Keene has a star-shaped marking on his forehead that corresponds with a star-shaped scar that Gordon received in the war. Gordon also received a bullet wound to his cheek, the scar from which is mimicked on Jeffrey Keene’s cheek. You can see photographs of Keene’s birthmarks compared side-by-side with photographs of General Gordon’s scars as researched by Dr. Ian Stevenson on his website.
Dr. Ian Stevenson on Birthmarks
Reincarnation researcher Dr. Ian Stevenson did a great deal of research into psychic birthmarks. He wrote a paper titled, Birthmarks and Birth Defects Corresponding to Wounds on Deceased Persons, in which he discussed psychic birthmarks as evidence of past lives.
According to Stevenson’s paper, “Among 895 cases of children who claimed to remember a previous life, birthmarks and/or birth defects attributed to the previous life were reported in 309 of the subjects.”
In the aforementioned paper, Stevenson provided verifiable cases of his subjects who claimed to recall a past life having a birthmark that corresponded with a wound – usually life ending – in the person who they claimed to be.
According to Stevenson’s research, those birthmarks that corresponded to the wounds of a deceased individual were almost always birthmarks of a rare type with no known cause.
Determining Birthmarks From Past Lives
Most birthmarks have a logical explanation. In other words, most birthmarks are not of paranormal origin; however, Dr. Stevenson’s research seems to indicate that some birthmarks may, indeed, correspond to past lives. At the very least, in many cases where a child has reported recall of a past life and there are birthmarks that correspond to that life’s manner of death, the findings are highly coincidental and suggestive of a paranormal process at play.
If you have birthmarks that you think may be psychic birthmarks, there are some ways by which you can attempt to discover whether or not this is the case.
- Have your birthmark examined by a physician. Is it a rare type of birthmark with no known medical cause, or is there an element of heredity or something else that can explain the birthmark?
- Consider having past life regression hypnotherapy. While the jury is still out on whether or not past life memories recalled during past life regression hypnotherapy are accurate, it may give you a starting point to do your own research. The works of authors such as Dr. Michael Netwon and Dr. Brian Weiss can introduce you to the process of past life regression hypnotherapy. Google your city and the phrase “past life regression hypnotherapy” to find a therapist in your area.
- Talk with a psychic. If you know of a trusted psychic, you may be able to discover the answers about your psychic birthmarks. Certainly, there are a number of psychics who are not legitimate and out to make a quick buck, but there are also a number of highly qualified, honest psychics who may be able to help you. Seek recommendations from people you trust.
Psychic birthmarks remain shrouded in mystery. While there are researchers of the past and present who are blazing a trail toward discovering where we come from and why our bodies may bear the marks of lives past, no one yet knows for certain what the truth is about our origins as souls. The answer just may lie in psychic birthmarks, which may lead to a path further back than we can imagine and into the depths of the human soul.
