  • Reincarnation, Karma, & Consciousness: A Path Toward Healing and World Peace
    Mar 30 2026

    What if your life didn’t begin at birth—and doesn’t end at death?

    In this thought-provoking episode of Strategies for Living, David McMillian and Lauren Leon McMillian are joined by special guests Gary Tiemann and Janna Weiss to explore the fascinating intersection of reincarnation, science, spirituality, and psychology.

    From Tibetan Buddhism to modern scientific research, this conversation dives into the nature of consciousness, the meaning of karma, and how past-life experiences may shape our present relationships, struggles, and growth. The discussion also examines how understanding reincarnation could transform how we view conflict, trauma, and even global issues like war and human rights.

    Could greater awareness of our shared human journey—across lifetimes—be a pathway to deeper compassion and even world peace?

    If you’re curious about life beyond the physical, the psychology of the soul, or the deeper purpose behind your experiences, this episode invites you to explore, reflect, and expand your perspective.
