What’s the secret behind your preferences in food and music and your emotional disposition? What is reincarnation? Why do you keep facing the same struggle? What did your soul come here to do?
Session Four
Signals from Heaven in Your Daily Life
Can someone else’s soul join yours? Who really chose your name? Why do you sometimes wake up inspired? What do souls do in paradise each night? Why does that person’s flaw bother you?
