Research into the possibility of past life existence has been going on for decades throughout the world. A very well-respected author and professor who specializes in the subject claims that Idaho children between the ages of two and five are magnets for this type of memory recollection.

Dr. Jim B. Tucker has specialized in research into the validity of past life probability for more than 20 years, according to a University of Virginia profile. He's authored multiple books on children and their abilities to recall unexplained brain output that mirrors the lives of people who once lived throughout the world.

Tucker has pinpointed the age group between two and five as being the most receptive to these cognitive abilities.

Past life regression is a form of hypnotism that psychologists practice as a way to unlock past trauma or anxiety. This method is also regularly used on children who claim to have visions or memories of a life before their own.
