transmigrate

Pass between bodies

To transmigrate is to pass from one state or place to another, especially of the soul moving from one body to another after death.

The term appears primarily in discussions of reincarnation and certain religious doctrines: Hindus believe the soul transmigrates through many lifetimes.

More rarely, transmigrate means to migrate across a boundary or from one country to another.
