Soul Walk-Ins: What Happens When One Soul Leaves and Another Enters?
Whilst I have not had an experience of being a walk-in myself, I have worked with many walk-in souls and can describe their experience for you. I have also personally experienced moments when an archangel would take over my body, briefly stepping in to do what was needed for someone I was working on, before withdrawing again.
It was an awe-inspiring experience—one where I felt myself contract, almost as if I was being pushed into a corner within my own body, making space for this vast and powerful presence.
The archangel would move through me, speak through me, and guide my physical form, but I always had full awareness and the ability to stop it at any moment. Before they would step in, it was always explained to me that this was happening for a specific reason. Sometimes this occurred during healing sessions, other times while driving, where divine intervention helped me avoid an accident.
Are you searching for deeper meaning in your life? Do you feel a yearning to understand who you truly are, where you come from, and why you’re here? Whether you’re drawn to the stars, angelic realms, or ancient civilizations like Atlantis and Lemuria, this Akashic Records Reading is your invitation to reconnect with your essence and rediscover the truth of your soul’s journey. This reading is for anyone seeking clarity and direction—whether you’re a starseed, connected to the angelic realms, Source energy, or even a human soul tied to the ancient wisdom of Earth’s great civilizations. If you feel like you’ve lost touch with your purpose or simply need a reminder of your higher path, this is for you. In this reading, you’ll gain profound insights into your soul’s origins, purpose, and unique gifts, delivered in a comprehensive detailed report .
But going back to the question of “What happens when one soul Leaves and another enters?”: I once had an encounter with a beautiful soul who remembered her walk-in experience with incredible clarity. She described the process in vivid detail, and her story was deeply aligned with what I have heard from many others who have gone through this phenomenon.
She told me that a few months prior to the event, she began experiencing unusual sensations—a feeling of being visited by another soul, sometimes in dreams, sometimes in waking moments where she would sense a presence near her. During this time, she felt a profound sadness and an overwhelming longing to “go home.” But what she came to understand later was that these feelings were not hers—they were the emotions of the departing soul, the one who had chosen to leave.
This transitional period lasted roughly three months, which is commonly how long it takes for a full soul exchange to be completed. She said that as the process unfolded, she felt as though she was being slowly prepared for something monumental, but she couldn’t quite understand what it was at the time.
When the original soul finally departed and the new soul fully entered, everything changed. She remembers not knowing who she was for a brief period of time—as if her entire identity had been wiped clean. The people in her life, her family, her friends—she didn’t recognize them in the way she knew she “should.” They were familiar, yet distant, like characters in a story she had read rather than people she had truly known. She felt odd, detached, yet instinctively knew not to say anything to anyone.
As time passed, however, everyone around her began to notice drastic changes—the way she spoke, the way she dressed, the things she was interested in, even her physical mannerisms. This is one of the most distinct markers of a walk-in experience: a radical shift in personality and preferences that cannot easily be explained.
But the most striking and important way to know whether you are truly a walk-in soul is this: You will not remember your childhood.
Many people with spiritual awakenings may feel like they have changed, but they will still have vivid, emotional memories of their past. A walk-in soul, however, will not recall their childhood as if they have lived it. They may know stories about it, they may see pictures, they may even be told what they did—but they will not feel the experiences as their own. The memories will seem distant, like watching a movie of someone else’s life, rather than a lived experience of their own.
This is because the consciousness occupying the body now is not the same as the one that was present during those formative years. The new soul can inherit some knowledge of the past, but it does not carry the emotional imprint of having actually lived it.
For those who have walked into a body, the adjustment process can be overwhelming, confusing, and even isolating. Many do not speak about it because they fear being labeled as “crazy.” Others struggle to integrate into a life that was not originally theirs.
But the more I work with walk-in souls, the more I see that this is happening more and more frequently as Earth’s frequencies shift, allowing for souls with new missions to step in and assist with planetary transformation.
If you are experiencing this, know that you are not alone. Many others are going through the same thing, and there are ways to ease the transition into your new body and life. Flower essences can be incredibly helpful in grounding and stabilizing your energy:
- Walnut – Assists with major life transitions, helping you release attachments to the past and fully integrate into your new path.
- Star of Bethlehem – Helps heal the shock and trauma of the soul exchange, allowing for a smoother adjustment period.
Being a walk-in is a profound and rare experience, but it is not a mistake. You came here for a reason. Your soul chose this path because you have a mission to fulfill, a purpose that is uniquely yours. While the adjustment period can feel disorienting, trust that everything you need to succeed is already within you. You are not lost—you are simply awakening to who you were truly meant to be.
I love you and am sending you love and light!
