EP207, Carol Bowman: Deceased Family Member Coincidences of Returning to the Family

What if your 3 year old child tells you that they had been another relative of yours in a previous life. Is such a thing "just a coincidence"?   Our guest on this episode, Carol Bowman, explores this topic based on her career researching phenomena relating to past lives. Carol is an author, a researcher of children's past life memories, and a past life therapist for adults for over thirty years. We also discuss whether all coincidences are meaningful, and whether coincidences seem to increase at certain critical points in our lives.    Connecting with Coincidence with Bernard Beitman, MD (CCBB) is now  offered as both an audio podcast--anywhere that podcasts are  available--and in video format on the Connecting with Coincidence YouTube channel.
