Spirit Baby: Celestial Connections Before Birth

Hello, everyone! Today, we're diving deep into one of the most fascinating and mystical conversations I've ever had the honor of introducing. Have you ever wondered about the soul’s journey before it even enters this world? Well, you're in for a treat, because we’re exploring the profound concept of Spirit Babies. Joining us are two pioneers in the field of metaphysics and spiritual exploration—Dolores Cannon and Michael Newton—both of whom have spent their lifetimes helping people understand the soul's purpose and pre-birth planning.

They’ll be guiding us through the extraordinary process where souls, even before they’re born, choose their parents, plan their life’s path, and sometimes even communicate with their future families. This imaginary conversation is filled with insights on karma, soul contracts, spiritual growth, and the incredible bond between parents and their spirit babies. I promise you, this is a topic that will open your mind and expand your heart. So, let’s step into this celestial journey together!

The Soul's Pre-Birth Planning Process

Nick Sasaki: Welcome to this fascinating discussion between two pioneers in the field of metaphysics and soul exploration, Dolores Cannon and Michael Newton. Today, we're going to delve into the topic of the soul’s pre-birth planning process, a concept both of you have extensively explored in your work. Dolores, why don't we begin with you? How do you explain this pre-birth planning, and how do souls go about choosing their life circumstances, particularly their parents?

Dolores Cannon: Thank you, Nick. It's a pleasure to be here. The pre-birth planning process is something I encountered often in my work as a hypnotherapist, particularly when clients entered what I call the “subconscious” or “higher self” state. This state allowed them to access memories from the time before they incarnated, where they would describe gathering with other souls—sometimes referred to as their "guides" or higher beings—to plan their next life. The process involves careful deliberation, considering what lessons they need to learn in the upcoming life. Choosing parents is a significant part of this, because the family dynamic provides the framework for many of the lessons a soul needs. It's a choice that's never made lightly.

Nick Sasaki: That’s fascinating. Michael, how does this align with what you've discovered in your life-between-lives research? Do souls also describe this detailed planning of their parents and life circumstances?

Michael Newton: Absolutely, Nick. In my work, particularly in Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls, I’ve guided clients into the life-between-lives state, where they remember the period between incarnations. One common theme is the degree of intentionality that goes into choosing not just parents, but the entire life setup. My clients often describe being in what I refer to as a “council of elders” or with their spirit guides. These higher beings help the soul review its past lives and what it still needs to work on. They often discuss which parents would provide the best opportunities for those lessons. It’s not just about picking loving or supportive parents—sometimes the soul deliberately chooses difficult circumstances to accelerate growth or to balance karma.

Dolores Cannon: Exactly, Michael. I’ve also found that souls choose their parents based on the challenges they will face, but also because of the karmic connections they share with them. A soul may choose to be born into a difficult family or to parents who provide a specific challenge because it’s what they need for their evolution. Sometimes, a soul has incarnated with these individuals many times before, and they continue to meet in different roles—sometimes as parent-child, sometimes as siblings or even friends in different lifetimes.

Nick Sasaki: So, this process is highly organized and purposeful. Do either of you think that the soul has complete control over the choice of parents, or is there an element of randomness or influence from other forces?

Michael Newton: In my experience, the soul has a significant amount of choice, but it’s not absolute. There are certain lessons that are mandatory for the soul's evolution, and the guides or elders may steer the soul toward particular parents or situations to fulfill those lessons. Some clients describe a sense of being gently nudged or encouraged to choose parents they might initially resist. However, there’s always a sense of free will in the final decision. The soul ultimately agrees to the circumstances it will enter, even if it's challenging.

Dolores Cannon: I agree. The soul often consults with guides or higher beings, and they provide advice or suggestions, but it’s the soul that makes the final decision. The soul knows, on a deep level, what it needs for its journey. It’s almost like creating a map for the upcoming life, plotting out key experiences and relationships that will provide opportunities for growth. Of course, once the soul is incarnated, it doesn’t remember this planning consciously, but the subconscious or higher self does, and that’s why techniques like past life regression can be so revealing.

Nick Sasaki: It sounds like the soul plays a deeply active role in shaping its upcoming life. Is this choice of parents always for growth through adversity, or do some souls choose parents for positive, nurturing reasons?

Dolores Cannon: Oh, absolutely, Nick. Not every soul chooses a difficult life. Some choose loving, supportive families because that’s what they need for this particular incarnation. It all depends on the soul’s journey. If a soul has spent many lifetimes facing hardship, it might choose a more peaceful, nurturing family to learn different lessons, such as how to give and receive love in a healthy way. There’s no single formula for how souls plan their lives; each plan is as unique as the soul itself.

Michael Newton: I would add to that, Dolores. Some souls choose nurturing environments because they’re ready to focus on more subtle, internal lessons—perhaps spiritual development or creativity. Others might choose more challenging parents to work through unresolved karmic issues or to develop specific qualities like resilience or forgiveness. There’s a balance between choosing nurturing environments and challenging ones, depending on what the soul is trying to achieve in that lifetime.

Nick Sasaki: That’s very insightful. So, in essence, the choice of parents is a deeply intentional part of the soul’s journey, with each life offering opportunities for growth, whether through love, challenge, or karma. We’ll explore more aspects of this process in our next topic, but for now, thank you both for sharing your wisdom on the pre-birth planning process.

The Role of Karma and Soul Contracts

Nick Sasaki: Let’s move on to our next topic, which is closely related to the concept of spirit babies: The Role of Karma and Soul Contracts. Dolores, in your work, you’ve often spoken about souls coming together in various lifetimes to resolve unfinished business. How do karma and soul contracts play a role in the choice of parents and life circumstances?

Dolores Cannon: Karma is a fundamental part of the soul’s journey, and it’s directly tied to the soul contracts we make before each incarnation. Soul contracts are agreements made between souls prior to their birth into a physical body. These contracts lay out the key experiences and lessons the soul will face, and the people who will play significant roles in their life—including their parents—are often part of these agreements. Sometimes these contracts are about balancing out karma from previous lifetimes. For example, if there was an unresolved issue between two souls in a past life, they may agree to meet again, perhaps as parent and child, to resolve it.

Nick Sasaki: So, these relationships, especially with parents, aren’t random but are designed for mutual growth and resolution of past issues?

Dolores Cannon: Exactly. For instance, a soul may choose to be born to parents who provide a challenging or even painful experience because that challenge will help both the parent and the child grow. It could be a karmic debt—maybe in a past life the roles were reversed, and the child caused harm to the parent. In this life, they switch roles to balance that karma. But it’s never about punishment; it’s about learning and evolution. The soul willingly enters into these contracts because it knows that resolving karma will bring growth and help it evolve to a higher state of consciousness.

Nick Sasaki: Michael, you’ve explored this concept in your life-between-lives work as well. How do you see karma and soul contracts influencing the choice of parents?

Michael Newton: In my research, clients frequently recall their experiences in the spiritual realm, where they meet with their guides and sometimes with other souls to plan their next life. Karma plays a critical role here. When souls plan their incarnation, they review their past lives and determine what lessons remain unfinished or what debts need to be balanced. It’s during this review process that soul contracts come into play. These are essentially agreements between souls to help one another in their evolution, and the parent-child relationship is often one of the most significant contracts a soul can make.

Dolores Cannon: That’s very true. A lot of people think of karma as something negative, but it’s really just energy that needs to be balanced. Sometimes, a soul will choose parents who can provide specific lessons, whether those lessons are about love, patience, or even overcoming adversity. The important thing to understand is that both the parents and the child agree to this arrangement at a soul level before incarnation. They understand the roles they are going to play for each other’s growth.

Michael Newton: Right, and sometimes these contracts are about teaching each other forgiveness or compassion. For instance, a soul might choose to be born to a parent who has a karmic debt to pay, or perhaps the parent has certain lessons to learn by raising a challenging child. These contracts are deeply intertwined with the soul’s karmic obligations. And what’s really interesting is that many of my clients describe being able to see possible outcomes of these contracts before they incarnate—they understand that different choices will lead to different karmic resolutions.

Nick Sasaki: That’s fascinating. So, these soul contracts aren’t fixed or rigid, but they do lay out the major challenges and opportunities for growth. How much flexibility does a soul have within these contracts? Can they choose to change their path once they’re incarnated, or are they bound by the terms of the contract?

Michael Newton: Great question. In my sessions, many souls describe their contracts as having flexibility. The main events and relationships are agreed upon beforehand, but once incarnated, the soul has free will. They can choose how to respond to the challenges or lessons presented to them. It’s like a road map with multiple paths. Some of my clients describe alternate scenarios for resolving karma—if one path doesn’t work out, another opportunity might present itself later in life. The soul always has a choice in how to handle its karmic lessons, but the underlying contract provides a framework.

Dolores Cannon: Yes, I’ve found that too. There’s always free will. Even though the major life events and relationships are part of the soul contract, the soul has the freedom to make decisions in each moment that can alter the course of its journey. For instance, if a soul is supposed to learn forgiveness, it might be presented with multiple opportunities throughout its life to do so. How the soul reacts to those opportunities determines whether or not it resolves its karmic lessons. The contract is a guide, but it’s not set in stone.

Nick Sasaki: That flexibility must be crucial for growth, especially when dealing with challenging family dynamics. Do souls ever break these contracts, or perhaps choose not to resolve karma in a particular lifetime?

Michael Newton: It’s possible, but not common. Most souls are eager to resolve their karma and move forward in their spiritual development. However, there are cases where a soul might not complete a contract in one lifetime, perhaps because they weren’t ready to face a particular challenge or lesson. In that case, the soul would return in another lifetime to face the same or similar circumstances. It’s not about punishment, but about giving the soul another opportunity to grow. The universe is infinitely patient.

Dolores Cannon: Exactly. Sometimes a soul might avoid a karmic lesson in one lifetime because they weren’t ready to handle it. But the lesson will come back around, either in the same life or in another one. There’s no escaping it, but that’s not a bad thing. It’s all part of the soul’s evolution. Eventually, the soul will be ready to face whatever lesson it has been avoiding, and when it does, it will make great strides in its spiritual growth.

Nick Sasaki: So, karma and soul contracts are key components in understanding why souls choose certain parents and life paths. It’s a deeply collaborative and flexible process, designed to help souls grow and evolve. We’ll continue with our next topic soon, but this has been incredibly enlightening so far. Thank you both for shedding light on this intricate process!

The Purpose of Soul Families

Nick Sasaki: Now, let’s dive into our third topic, The Purpose of Soul Families. The idea of soul families or soul groups suggests that we reincarnate with the same group of souls across many lifetimes. Dolores, how do these soul families influence a soul’s choice of parents? And how does this dynamic help in the growth of the soul?

Dolores Cannon: Soul families play a huge role in the pre-birth planning process. In my work, I found that souls tend to travel together in groups, which I call soul families or soul clusters. These groups are made up of souls who are closely connected and who often incarnate together to help each other evolve. The relationships within these families change from lifetime to lifetime—one life you may be the parent, and the next, you may be the child. It’s all part of the karmic balancing and growth process. When souls choose their parents, they’re often choosing individuals from their soul family who have agreed to play certain roles in their life.

Nick Sasaki: So, these soul families are essential to understanding how we come into our physical lives, often with recurring relationships. How do these roles shift from lifetime to lifetime?

Dolores Cannon: They shift depending on what lessons need to be learned. In one lifetime, you might choose to be the parent, providing love and guidance, while in another life, you may be the child, learning lessons of patience or responsibility. The roles are not fixed. A soul family works together to help each other grow, and each lifetime presents different opportunities for this. It’s like being actors in a play—one lifetime, you’re the protagonist, and in the next, you might be a supporting character. But every role contributes to the evolution of the soul.

Michael Newton: I’ve found similar patterns in my research. In Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls, many of my clients recall being part of a soul group. These groups are usually composed of souls with whom they’ve shared multiple lifetimes. They describe this as a deeply loving and cooperative process. The relationships within the soul family serve to balance karma, teach important lessons, and help each member evolve spiritually. It’s common for souls to switch roles—like Dolores mentioned, a parent in one life could be a sibling, friend, or even a spouse in the next.

Nick Sasaki: That’s such a fascinating concept, that these souls keep meeting across lifetimes in different forms. Do you think there’s a limit to how many times souls can reincarnate together, or is it a continuous process?

Michael Newton: From what I’ve seen, there doesn’t seem to be a strict limit. Souls will continue to reincarnate together until they have balanced their karmic obligations or until they’ve learned the lessons they’ve set out to master. For some soul families, that could take many lifetimes, while others may resolve their karma more quickly. Once a soul family reaches a certain level of spiritual growth, they may no longer need to reincarnate together, at least not in the same capacities. They move on to other lessons or help other soul groups.

Dolores Cannon: Yes, and sometimes, when a soul has completed its lessons with one group, it will move on to work with a new group, either helping them or learning new lessons. But the bond between members of a soul family is very strong. Even if they don’t incarnate together, there’s often a connection on the spiritual level that continues to exist.

Nick Sasaki: It sounds like these soul families serve as the backbone for a lot of the growth that happens over multiple lifetimes. But what happens when a soul chooses to break away from their soul family for a particular incarnation? Is that common?

Dolores Cannon: It’s not common, but it can happen. Sometimes, a soul will choose to incarnate with a completely new set of souls because it needs a different kind of experience, or perhaps the soul has moved beyond what the soul family can offer in terms of growth. But even then, the soul is never truly disconnected from its soul family. They may be observing from the other side, or they may continue to influence the soul in subtle ways.

Michael Newton: I’ve seen similar cases. Sometimes a soul will incarnate in a different family or group because it’s ready for new challenges. But often, even in these cases, members of the soul family are still present in some capacity, even if only in a supportive role from the spiritual realm. And, of course, once the soul returns to the spirit world, they reunite with their soul family, regardless of whether they incarnated together or separately.

Nick Sasaki: So even when a soul chooses a different path, the connections with their soul family remain strong. Could this explain why certain people feel an immediate sense of recognition or closeness when they meet someone new? Could that be a soul family connection from a past life?

Dolores Cannon: Absolutely! That sense of immediate recognition or a deep bond with someone you’ve just met is often a sign of a soul family connection. Souls who have been together in many lifetimes tend to recognize each other at a soul level, even if their physical selves are meeting for the first time. This is why some relationships feel so familiar or easy from the start—it’s because you’ve already known that person across multiple lifetimes.

Michael Newton: Yes, those connections run deep. It’s not just parents and children, but also friendships, romantic relationships, and even work colleagues. Many times, we encounter members of our soul family in different contexts, and that familiarity you feel can be a reminder of the strong bond you’ve shared in previous lives.

Nick Sasaki: That makes so much sense. It really shows how interconnected we all are, not just in this life, but across many lifetimes. It’s fascinating to think that the people we love and even those who challenge us could be part of this grand, spiritual collaboration.

Dolores Cannon: It truly is a collaboration, and that’s the beauty of it. Each soul is helping the other to grow, and these relationships evolve over time. The choice of parents, children, and other key relationships are all part of that interconnected web.

Michael Newton: Indeed, and the soul family is at the heart of this process. It provides continuity and support, lifetime after lifetime, helping us all move closer to the ultimate goal of spiritual evolution.

Nick Sasaki: Thank you both for these profound insights. The concept of soul families really deepens our understanding of the connections we form in life and the roles we play for one another across multiple lifetimes. In our next topic, we’ll explore the challenges and obstacles souls choose when planning their life circumstances, and how these difficulties contribute to growth. Stay tuned for that discussion!

Challenges and Obstacles as Spiritual Lessons

Nick Sasaki: Moving on to our fourth topic, we’re diving into Challenges and Obstacles as Spiritual Lessons. Both of you have touched on the fact that souls don’t always choose easy lives or perfect circumstances. Why would a spirit baby, or any soul for that matter, choose to be born into difficult life situations or challenging parents? Dolores, let’s start with you.

Dolores Cannon: This is one of the most profound aspects of soul planning. A lot of people believe that when a soul chooses its life circumstances, it would naturally opt for an easy, comfortable life. But that’s rarely the case. Souls are driven by the desire for growth, and the greatest growth comes through overcoming challenges. Many of the souls I’ve encountered in my work deliberately choose difficult circumstances—whether that’s being born into poverty, a dysfunctional family, or dealing with physical or emotional challenges—because these obstacles present opportunities for powerful spiritual evolution. These situations force the soul to develop qualities like resilience, empathy, and strength, which wouldn’t be needed in a more comfortable life.

Nick Sasaki: So the soul seeks out challenges for the sake of growth, rather than avoiding them. Michael, is this something you’ve seen in your research as well?

Michael Newton: Absolutely. In my life-between-lives sessions, many of my clients describe selecting lives that contain substantial obstacles, often because they want to work on a particular lesson. These lessons can be anything from developing patience, to learning forgiveness, to overcoming pride or anger. The spirit guides often play a role in helping the soul understand which life circumstances would be most beneficial for its growth. It’s a collaborative process, but ultimately the soul agrees to the challenges ahead, knowing that they will provide the necessary conditions for development. It’s interesting how, from the spiritual perspective, what we might consider to be hardship or suffering on Earth is viewed as an important tool for growth.

Dolores Cannon: Yes, Michael, that’s exactly it. From the human perspective, these challenges can seem unfair or harsh, but from the soul’s perspective, they are purposeful. The soul knows that facing and overcoming difficulties is a fast track to evolution. It’s not about suffering for the sake of suffering, but about how you navigate that suffering. For instance, a soul might choose to be born into a family where there’s a lot of conflict because it needs to learn patience or forgiveness. Another soul might choose a physically challenging life to develop inner strength or compassion for others who are suffering.

Nick Sasaki: That makes me wonder, though, do souls ever regret these choices once they’re incarnated? After all, from the human perspective, these challenges can be overwhelming.

Dolores Cannon: Sometimes, yes. Once the soul is incarnated, it forgets the plan it made before coming to Earth, and it may feel overwhelmed by the very challenges it chose. This is where free will comes in. The soul can choose to learn and grow from the experience, or it can become stuck in suffering. But even in the hardest circumstances, the soul is never truly alone. The higher self, or subconscious, is always guiding the person, nudging them toward growth. And that’s why practices like past life regression can be so healing—people are able to reconnect with the higher self and remember why they chose these challenges in the first place.

Michael Newton: That’s true. Many of my clients, once they’re in the life-between-lives state, realize that even though their life has been difficult, they made these choices for their own evolution. There’s often a moment of deep clarity and understanding. The soul knows that no experience is wasted, no matter how painful. In fact, the more difficult the experience, the more valuable the lesson. And even when a soul doesn’t fully overcome a challenge in one lifetime, it will continue to encounter similar situations in future lives until the lesson is fully learned.

Nick Sasaki: So, challenges can be repeated across lifetimes if the lesson hasn’t been learned?

Michael Newton: Yes, exactly. If a soul doesn’t resolve a particular issue—say, it struggles with anger or resentment in one life—it may encounter similar challenges in subsequent lives until it learns how to deal with that issue. But each lifetime presents the soul with new opportunities to grow. And while the soul might face the same general theme or challenge, it will have different tools or approaches in each incarnation to help it work through the issue.

Dolores Cannon: Yes, that’s why some people feel like they’ve been dealing with the same type of problem over and over, even in one lifetime. It’s because the soul is trying to learn a particular lesson. For example, someone who has a series of difficult relationships might be trying to learn how to set boundaries or develop self-love. Until they master that lesson, the soul will keep encountering similar situations, whether it’s with family, friends, or romantic partners.

Nick Sasaki: So, it’s not just about enduring challenges but about actively learning from them. Do souls always succeed in learning the lessons they’ve set out for themselves in a particular life?

Michael Newton: Not always. Some souls might get stuck or resist the lesson, either because they’re not ready or because the challenge is too overwhelming. But even in cases where the soul doesn’t fully succeed in learning the lesson, it still gains valuable experience. The next time they incarnate, they bring that knowledge with them, which makes it easier to approach the challenge from a new angle. The soul’s growth is a continuous process.

Dolores Cannon: Yes, and even if a soul doesn’t completely resolve a particular issue, there’s always progress being made. The soul is constantly evolving, even when it feels like it’s stuck. And it’s important to remember that the soul’s perspective is much broader than the human perspective. From the higher self’s point of view, even the most painful experiences are seen as opportunities for growth. Nothing is wasted, and every experience adds to the soul’s journey.

Nick Sasaki: That’s a powerful perspective. It makes the challenges and hardships we face in life seem less arbitrary and more purposeful. Are there any particular examples you’ve encountered where a soul chose especially difficult circumstances, and how did that experience contribute to their growth?

Dolores Cannon: I’ve had many cases like that. One that stands out involved a woman who was dealing with severe childhood trauma. During regression, we discovered that her soul had chosen to be born into a very difficult family situation because she needed to learn how to overcome victimhood and reclaim her power. It was a hard life, but she was able to understand, through the regression, that this challenge was chosen to help her soul grow in strength and independence. That understanding brought her a lot of healing and allowed her to start viewing her challenges as opportunities for growth rather than just pain.

Michael Newton: I’ve also seen similar cases. One client chose a life with significant physical disabilities because the soul wanted to develop deep inner strength and compassion for others. What’s interesting is that, during the life-between-lives regression, the client was able to see how these challenges were actually helping not only her soul, but also the souls of the people around her—her family members, caregivers, and even strangers who came into contact with her. It was a deeply interconnected learning experience for everyone involved.

Nick Sasaki: It’s remarkable how challenges and obstacles can serve as catalysts for such deep spiritual growth. This understanding really shifts how we might view our own struggles. Thank you both for your incredible insights. Next, we’ll move on to a more mysterious topic: the communication between parents and spirit babies before birth. Stay tuned!

Communication Between Parents and Spirit Babies

Nick Sasaki: For our final topic today, let’s explore the idea of Communication Between Parents and Spirit Babies. Both of you have touched on the pre-birth planning process, but what about the idea that parents can communicate with their future children—spirit babies—before birth? Dolores, I know you’ve mentioned this in your work. How can parents feel a connection to their child before they’re even conceived?

Dolores Cannon: This is one of the most fascinating aspects of the soul’s journey into incarnation. Many parents, particularly mothers, report feeling a connection to their child long before conception, almost as if they’re communicating with the soul that’s going to enter their life. In my work, I’ve found that this is very real. The spirit baby is often present in the mother’s aura, observing, waiting for the right moment to incarnate. Sometimes, they will send dreams, symbols, or even intuitive feelings to the parents, letting them know that they’re ready to come into the world. It’s not uncommon for parents to feel this presence or sense that their child is “around” them even before conception happens.

Michael Newton: I’ve encountered this phenomenon as well. In many life-between-lives sessions, clients describe how, as souls, they linger near their future parents before they enter the physical body. During this time, there’s often an energetic communication taking place. The spirit baby can communicate in subtle ways, such as through emotions, thoughts, or even dreams. Some parents might feel a deep sense of knowing—an intuitive connection—that this child is meant to come into their life. And it’s not just the mother who can sense this; fathers, too, can feel a connection to the incoming soul.

Nick Sasaki: That’s incredible. So, there’s this subtle energetic presence that parents can sometimes feel. Are there specific ways in which spirit babies might try to communicate with their parents before conception?

Dolores Cannon: Absolutely. One common way is through dreams. Many mothers have dreams of holding or interacting with a child before they even know they’re pregnant. These dreams are often vivid and filled with emotion. The spirit baby might show itself in the dream to let the mother know it’s coming, or to provide reassurance that it’s the right time for them to come into the family. In some cases, parents might hear the name of the child in a dream or feel a strong sense of the child’s personality before they’re born. These are all ways that spirit babies communicate their presence.

Michael Newton: Dreams are certainly a powerful form of communication. But beyond dreams, many parents describe a sudden, strong intuition or feeling that their child is near. For example, some couples who have been struggling to conceive may suddenly feel a shift—a sense that their child is “ready” to come into the world. This can happen at a spiritual or emotional level long before conception takes place. The spirit baby may also send signs, such as symbols or synchronicities, that carry meaning for the parents. It could be something like repeatedly seeing children or babies in unusual circumstances, as if the universe is trying to get their attention.

Dolores Cannon: I’ve even had clients who experienced moments of direct communication with their spirit babies during meditation or quiet moments of reflection. They might receive messages or feelings that convey love, guidance, or the sense that the child is preparing to enter their life. These communications are often very emotional and meaningful for the parents. The spirit baby’s energy is always gentle, nurturing, and filled with love—it’s like a preview of the connection that will deepen after birth.

Nick Sasaki: That’s so heartwarming, and it really highlights the spiritual depth of the parent-child relationship, even before birth. Do you think there are ways for parents to consciously enhance this communication with their spirit babies?

Dolores Cannon: Absolutely. One of the best ways is through meditation or mindfulness. When parents create a quiet, peaceful space within themselves, it becomes easier for them to tune in to the subtle energies of the spirit baby. Intentional meditation on the idea of welcoming the child, asking for guidance, or simply creating a loving space for that soul to come in can open up channels of communication. Many times, it’s not about receiving verbal messages but rather about feeling the connection—feeling the presence of that soul in the parents' lives before they even arrive.

Michael Newton: Meditation is a great tool, as it helps parents quiet their minds and become more receptive to the subtle energies around them. But I would also say that simply fostering an open heart and mind can enhance this communication. Often, the spirit baby is already trying to communicate, but the parents might be too distracted or overwhelmed by everyday concerns to notice. By being present and aware, parents can sense these communications more easily. Another method is dream journaling—writing down any dreams or intuitions that come up regarding the child, as these can hold important messages.

Nick Sasaki: So, by creating a space of openness, meditation, or simply being present, parents can strengthen that bond with their spirit baby even before birth. Are there any common signs that a spirit baby might send to reassure the parents that they’ve chosen the right time to enter this life?

Dolores Cannon: Yes, and these signs are often deeply personal. Some parents may experience overwhelming feelings of love or joy when thinking about their future child, or they might start noticing symbols related to new life, like butterflies, flowers, or even the appearance of children or baby-related objects in unexpected ways. These signs serve as gentle reminders that the spirit baby is near and that everything is aligning for their arrival. It’s not always something dramatic—it can be something as simple as a peaceful feeling or an inner knowing that the time is right.

Michael Newton: I’ve had clients describe similar experiences. Some parents report that they suddenly feel a deep sense of peace or purpose about becoming parents, even if they were previously uncertain. It’s as if the spirit baby’s energy calms their fears and reassures them that they’re ready, even if they don’t feel completely prepared. These signs can also appear in the form of repeated patterns or synchronicities that the parents find meaningful. The spirit baby may not communicate directly, but its presence can be felt through these subtle cues.

Nick Sasaki: It sounds like the spirit baby’s energy plays a guiding and comforting role even before birth, offering reassurance and love. As we close this discussion, do you think this pre-birth communication can strengthen the parent-child bond once the child is born?

Dolores Cannon: Absolutely. When parents are able to connect with their spirit baby before birth, they enter the physical relationship with a deep sense of purpose and understanding. They already have a bond that transcends the physical, and this can create a more harmonious, loving connection once the child is born. The parents feel more attuned to their child’s needs, emotions, and purpose because they’ve already shared a spiritual connection before the physical one.

Michael Newton: I agree. The communication between parents and spirit babies creates a foundation of trust and love. It’s as if the relationship begins on a soul level before it manifests in the physical world, and that early connection helps foster a deep sense of belonging and mutual understanding. The parents feel as if they’ve been chosen, and the child feels welcomed into a loving environment. It’s a beautiful start to a lifelong journey.

Nick Sasaki: Thank you, Dolores and Michael, for sharing such insightful perspectives on this unique and mystical connection between parents and spirit babies. This concept of pre-birth communication really deepens the meaning of family and the bonds we share with those we bring into the world. It’s been an enlightening conversation!
