past lives
Previous earthly turns
Past lives are previous incarnations of a soul in different bodies, a concept central to beliefs in reincarnation.
Someone might claim memories of past lives or seek them through hypnosis: She believes she was a healer in a past life.
The phrase appears in spiritual contexts and pop psychology, often with skepticism from outsiders.
