Deja Vu

Deja vu is the sudden feeling that you have already lived the present moment before. The French phrase means already seen, and spiritual teachings often read it as a soul memory or a sign that you are on your path.

Why It Matters

Metaphysical teachers describe deja vu as a glimpse of a past life, a dream remembered or a soul contract unfolding on schedule. Many see it as a gentle nudge to pay attention to the moment and the choice in front of them. At NLS we suggest noticing what you were thinking and feeling, then writing it down.
