I first learned about Walk-ins in the 1980’s when I was reading Ruth Montgomery’s books, Strangers Among Us and Threshold to Tomorrow. Not long after learning about Walk-in's, I saw a show on TV about a man who working under his car when the jack malfunctioned and the car fell and crushed him. He spent months in a coma, and when he woke up, it was like he was a completely different person--his interests had completely changed and he had new life goals that included making positive changes to help make the world a better place. His friends and family said they felt like he was a total stranger.
As I watched that story, I remember thinking to myself, “I bet he’s a Walk-in!”

I feel like it's been years since I heard anyone mention Walk-ins, and then, in less then 24 hours, three things happened:
(1) I read about them again in Shirley Battie’s wonderful book, Spirit Speaks, (2) I was working with my Guide Group on my new book and they wrote during an automatic writing session that there are more Walk-ins on Earth today then ever before; and (3) I received an email from someone who is a Walk-in.
The synchronicity of these three events, in my mind, means that it's time for a column or three on this subject.

Let’s first define the term. A Walk-in situation occurs when an evolved soul, not currently incarnated, is allowed to switch or exchange places with a soul that is currently incarnated. The two souls essentially change places, and they do so by mutual agreement—no one is forcing anyone out of their body so they can take it over for themselves, and there is no possession scenario happening.
A Walk-in situation can occur when (1) two souls, prior to incarnation, make an agreement that when the first soul has completed its development or spiritual “to do” list, the second soul will takes its place; or (2) something may have happened to make the outgoing entity want to leave the body early, i.e. chronic illness or a tragic accident, and another soul will take over for the departing soul. The Walk-in soul is always one that is highly/sufficiently evolved enough to skip the birth process and enter at the adult stage of life.
Here’s a list of the basic steps that take place during a Walk-in situation:
- An agreement exists or takes place between two souls
- The two souls switch places
- The outgoing soul continues their journey and learning on the other side of the veil, just as we all do when our current incarnation is over, and can reincarnate again when ready to do so
- The Walk-in must complete the Karma of the outgoing soul; that is part of the agreement
- The Walk-in has a specific mission which can include teaching, assisting humankind in our awakening, and/or to help individuals find their life purpose/path
