Central Virginia IONS Community Group Program Title:
“Children Who Report Past-Life Memories”
Our August 19, 2017, Central Virginia IONS Community Group program will feature a talk by Jim Tucker, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia, who is continuing the work of Dr. Ian Stevenson with children who report memories of previous lives.
Beginning with Ian Stevenson, researchers at the University of Virginia have investigated children’s reports of memories of previous lives. Over the past fifty years, they have studied more than 2, 500 cases from around the world.
Common features in the cases include a child talking about a past life at a very early age and behaviors that appear connected to that life such as phobias related to the mode of death. Sometimes, there are also birthmarks or birth defects that correspond to wounds the previous person had suffered.
The presentation will include a review of the research and the details of recent American cases.
