Hi, I'm Sara and I'm new to your forum.
I had a few questions. My neice and nephew both talk about their past lives. Or, I should say, used to talk about their past lives. They've somewhat grown out of it. They are 5 and almost 7. E, the girl used to talk about her other grandma whom she called Grandma Kay and said that she used to cook with her all the time. She also talked about her Jim and said that he was her "mean brother." N, the boy, says he had a dead brother. My family chalked it up to just being imaginary friends, but I knew instantly what they were talking about and was very intrigued.
I have a son and a daughter who are 3 and 10 months respectively and I was wondering when a good time to ask them about their past lives would be? I asked my son once and he didn't have much of a response. I also think that he could sense that I felt weird about asking him the question (because my husband doesn't really believe in anything and I don't want him to do his "oh how funny that you believe that stuff" attitude. How to get around that? I'm just going to have to become comfortable in my own beliefs, I guess.)
Also, I'm wondering about their birthmarks. My son was born with a stork bite (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001388.htm) on his forehead and on the nape of his neck and it didn't go away until he was well past 2 (they usually go away by 18 months, still has the one on the nape of his neck) and a oblong brown birthmark on his elbow. My daughter has the stork bite on the nape of her neck, but not nearly as prominent as my son and also has a large, strawberry birth mark on her lower back and abdomen. It almost looks like she had a puncture wound on her back and it came out her abdomen. When people see her back, they're startled thinking she got hurt, not knowing it's a birthmark. Her great-grandmother claims to have a birthmark on her stomach similar to the one S has.
Also a third question and I could be waaaaay off base here, but can the interests you take while pregnant have something to do with the child's past life? I seem to remember a friend of mine who thinks he was a Shaolin monk in a former life and is obsessed with all things Chinese. He said his mother craved Chinese food every single day and her local Chinese restaurant expected her everyday. When I was pregnant with my son, I wanted only vegetarian meals, preferrably Indian. I was always in a good mood and looked radiant. My son is the most agreeable, handsome little guy. With my daughter, I wanted Mexican food every single day and for some reason wanted to learn Spanish. I actually picked up quite a bit.
I have more questions that pertain to my former lives, but alas, that is another thread. Thanks!:thumbsup:
