Once you understand the basics of reincarnation, it’s
not that complicated or scary. There are many good
books about this subject and the related subject of life
between life.

We’ve found Michael Newton’s research to be fantastic.
He is the foremost researcher on life between life, has
been exploring the subject for many years, and is well
respected among other researchers of reincarnation. His
books answer a lot of questions.

We wrote about how past lives affect current love lives in
our book Your Love Life and Reincarnation
(http://www.holisticmakeover.com/about_the_book.htm).
Others who have done reincarnation research include Janet
Cunningham, Ph.D., Winafred Lucas, Ph.D., Raymond Moody,
M.D., Richard Sutphen, and the Grandfather of reincarnation
research, Ian Stevenson, M.D.

Scientific studies involving reincarnation include the Journal
of Scientific Exploration, Allen Press, Lawrence, KS., and
the Journal of Regression Therapy, International Association
for Regression Research and Therapies (IARRT), Riverside,
CA. (909)784-1570, http://www.IARRT.org.

Do you have choices when reincarnating? Yes, but on a
soul level, not on a personality level. Your soul plans each
incarnation and chooses when and where to be born. Based
on our research and that of other respected researchers, we
believe that humans reincarnate into human bodies, not as
animals (transmigration) or physical objects. However, until
we can disprove it, we are not ruling out the possibility of
transmigration.

Someone might ask, “Why don’t I have complete free will
once I incarnate?” If you could sidestep the important lessons,
then you wouldn’t learn what your soul intended for you.
Imagine if everyone got what they wanted all the time. The
successes would eventually come to lack sweetness, and life
would not be the same. Polarities are a necessary part of this
dimension, and your soul determines your karmic blueprint
before you incarnate.

At the same time, you still have free will to make the most of
your life and also manifest that which fits into your earthly
plan.
