How the choice of the body and destiny before birth is described according to interpretations attributed to Dolores Cannon.

There is a question that, sooner or later, looms silently: why was I born here… and not in another life, in another family, in another body? The usual answer speaks of genetics, chance, human decisions. But, according to many accounts gathered in sessions of regression and exploration of spiritual memory, there would be something deeper: a stage prior to birth where the soul observes, understands and chooses.

This vision does not present life as a punishment or as a roulette wheel. He describes it as a journey with meaning, where even the difficult would have a reason: not to suffer for the sake of suffering, but to awaken, learn and expand.

1) Before the body: a state of pure consciousness

According to these accounts, before being born the soul does not feel like a “person” as we understand it here. There is no age, gender, physical pain, or limits. It is more like a lucid awareness, a formless “me” that reminds us of something essential: “I am energy and I have purpose.”

In that state, the soul is not pushed into life. Decide. And that decision would be surprisingly clear: not as an imposition, but as a profound “yes” to an experience.

2) Choosing is not the same as “controlling”

A key point: “choosing” does not mean that everything will be easy or that the person “deserves” what happens to them. In this view, the soul does not control every detail, but it does define the direction of learning.

As if planning a trip with important stops: some will be beautiful; others, hard. And even so, the soul would accept the journey because it recognizes that, behind the external, there is an internal opportunity: to forge character, compassion, courage, self-love, forgiveness, freedom.

3) The family’s choice: a sensible agreement

According to this perspective, the family would not be a simple scenario, but an emotional contract. Sometimes, the soul chooses a loving and stable environment to develop talents calmly. Other times, he chooses a complex family because deep lessons are activated there.

This would explain why some relationships with parents or caregivers feel difficult from an early age: not as a condemnation, but as an intense learning. In certain cases, the soul would come with a greater mission: to break family patterns (violence, addictions, abandonment, shortages) and become the breaking point: “this is as far as this chain goes”.

4) The body is also chosen: as a tool, not as an ornament

In these stories, the body would not be a “random shell”, but an instrument to live a type of experience. Physical traits, temperament, energy, sensitivity: everything would be related to the chosen path.

• A strong body could facilitate a mission of action, physical labor, or protection.
• A sensitive body might push toward introspection, creativity, or service.
• Even certain limitations would be seen as “master”: they force you to stop, to ask for help, to develop patience, empathy or resilience.

Important: this vision does not seek to romanticize pain. Just try to give it a framework: the soul would look at life as a growth map where each condition offers a different learning.

5) The choice of gender and identity: different experiences

There is also talk of the choice of gender as part of learning: not “better” or “worse”, but different programs of experience. Sometimes, the soul would repeat several lives in the same experience to understand it thoroughly; other times, it would change to balance perspectives.

According to this idea, when someone feels a disconnection with their body or social expectations from a young age, it would not be a “mistake”, but a complex experience where learning could revolve around authenticity, personal value and inner freedom.

6) The moment of pregnancy: observe before entering

It is described that the soul does not always “enter” all at once. Sometimes he observes: he perceives the emotional energy of the future parents, the fears, the stability, the climate of the home. And only when you feel that the space is ready, you integrate.

In this view, even certain pregnancies that do not continue would be interpreted as path adjustments: not to deny human pain, but to say that, on a spiritual level, there could be decisions and processes that we do not see.

7) “Agreed” encounters: souls that cross paths again

One of the most striking ideas is that certain important people do not arrive by chance: partners, friends, rivals, teachers, children… even someone who shows up for minutes and changes everything.

We speak of prior agreements: souls who distribute roles as actors before a play. Not always to live romances; sometimes to provoke an awakening, show a wound, activate a strength or push to make a courageous decision.

That’s why there’s this strange feeling of immediate familiarity with someone, as if there was already a story.

8) The Great Veil: Why We Forget

If everything were remembered, life would be an exam with answers. That is why, according to these stories, when incarnating a “veil” occurs: the soul forgets so that learning is real.

But not everything is erased. Traces remain:

• Strong intuitions
• Recurring dreams
• Feelings of “I’ve already lived this”
• Internal calls that are difficult to explain
• Attractions to places, cultures, or subjects for no logical reason

9) Types of souls: those who remember, those who awaken later, and the “old souls”

This vision distinguishes profiles:

• Souls that remember since childhood: sensitive, profound, “adult” in look, not very malleable.
• Souls that awaken after a shock: grief, betrayal, illness, loss; And suddenly the question appears: “What do I do with my life?”
• New souls: they bring a clean light but feel disoriented in a dense world.
• Old souls: less need to demonstrate, more calm, understanding and presence.

Not as rigid labels, but as ways to explain why some have always felt a call, and others only hear it later.

10) Signs that you are on your way

According to this view, the main “compass” is intuition, but it does not always speak with words. Some signs could be:

• Inner peace even with external difficulties.
• A quiet joy that appears without cause.
• Synchronicities (repeated phrases, symbols, precise encounters).
• Crises that knock down a “right” life to push you into a “real” life.
• Body sensation of “yes, over here” or “no, not over here”.

Tips and recommendations (to apply in your life)

• Don’t beat yourself up for feeling “out of place.” Sometimes that discomfort is not failure: it is a call to readjust your course.
• Listen to your body: the body usually speaks first (tiredness, tension, insomnia, relief, expansion). Take it as information, not as an enemy.
• Write down your dreams and matches for 7 days. Not to obsess over it, but to spot patterns.
• Choose a short daily practice (5–10 minutes): slow breathing, prayer, meditation, walking in silence, writing down what you feel. Constancy opens up clarity.
• Seek support if you’re in severe pain: Talking to a mental health professional can help you sustain the process, without fighting with your spirituality.
• Ask a simple question before bed: “What do I need to understand now?” Sometimes the answer comes as an idea, dream or sensation when you wake up.

If this vision resonates with you, you can take it as a reminder: your life doesn’t have to feel perfect to make sense. Maybe you didn’t come to meet expectations, but to learn something intimate: to come back to yourself, strengthen your light and leave a mark – even if it is silent – on those around you.
