THE PA R T O N E INITIAL INQUIRY Addressing Client Belief Systems Before entering into the details of hypnosis methodology connected to the practice of spiritual regression, I think it is fitting to consider your approach to questions about the afterlife. As a spiritual regressionist, you will have clients who are in a personal quandary about their beliefs at the time of their first contact with you. How you respond to their respective concerns might well be the determining factor in their making an appointment. While a large majority of the people who wish you to help them access their soul memories are comfortable with their beliefs, others are conflicted by religious teachings, concerns over the mechanics of hypnosis in reaching their life between lives, or they may have some skepticism about trusting themselves to you in facilitating their mental entry into the spirit world. I begin my sessions by explaining to the unsettled potential client that it will benefit them to enter their hypnosis regression with an open mind. I might even tell them that regardless of their belief system, their unconscious memories are probably going to reveal a home in the spirit world that will be consistent with the reports from everyone who has undergone spiritual regression. A skeptic could argue that this sort of reassurance is actually preconditioning the subject. Even so, after conducting thousands of life between lives hypnosis sessions, I am comfortable with making this statement to an anxious client. When considering bias, there is also the fact that my books about the afterlife are already public knowledge. If a potential client raises the possibility of being swayed by having read these books, I explain that during the many years before my research was published I told most clients very little in advance. Either way, you will find it makes no difference. Once a subject mentally enters the spirit world through deep hypnosis, regardless of their ideology or what I have told them in advance, their reports are going to be similar to everyone who went before them. I have been told by the LBL hypnotherapists I have trained that they have had clients who never heard of me or my books who, without prompting, have also been consistent in their reports of the spirit world. The differences are in the soul activities they see clearly and those that are hazy. No two sessions are exactly the same because each soul has a specific energy pattern for recovering stored immortal memories and their own unique history of existence. If a potential client has reservations about metaphysical philosophy due to a rigid belief system, this may have created an inner turmoil that you must address at the outset. This person has contacted you because they do want spiritual information about their higher self and yet ideological reservations are holding them back. I often find in such cases that underneath this mental conflict lies unhappiness and dissatisfaction over how these individuals consciously view the world and their lives. Such people have contacted you because they have finally reached a point where they are willing to seek answers by a new approach. In these circumstances, an eclectic therapist can be a good sounding board for open-ended philosophical discussions that are reflective, interpretive, and encouraging to the potential client. For example, in America, with our prevalent Christian society, you might be told, I want to experience what Heaven is like, but I worry that I might be committing a sin by coming to see you. Another slant on this same question could be, I think there is an afterlife, but must one believe in reincarnation in order to be a candidate for spiritual regression? I have had clients from cultures where there are strong convictions about life being deterministic, giving them little control over their destiny. Other societies are openminded about reincarnation and fate but their rituals involve the existence of angry gods, evil spirits, and undesirable astral regions after death. Some belief systems do not allow for a soul-ego that exists in a spirit world between lives. Atheists and agnostics, of course, find it hard to accept a higher power and a grand design in the universe. As I mentioned, regardless of ideological preconceptions in their conscious minds, once these people are in a superconscious trance state they will have the same soul memories about their life between lives as all your other clients. Thoughtful people with diverse belief systems will contact you because they are searching for meaning in their lives. They are looking for a different sort of spirituality that is consistent and makes sense to them. Once we separate out the extremists and their radical doctrines, all religions have wonderful creeds of compassion, charity, and love. Yet they are also anchored by centuries of institutional dogma that does not appeal to modern thinking. In my view, the world's great religions are too impersonal for many people. In a sense these powerful religions have lost much of the essence of individual spiritual contact with the divine which gave rise to their origins. People are disturbed by this evolution. The historian Arnold Toynbee stated that throughout the history of humankind when a belief system outlives its attraction as a spiritual model for people it is modified or discarded. We live in a world that is perceived as chaotic. There...(Continues)

A Great Addition
I was pleased to find that Newton had published another book on the spiritual side of hypnosis. In this book, he reveals his methods for achieving the life-between-life state. It is an excellent guidebook for hypnosis professionals and professional counselors wanting to utilize these deep trance techniques with their clients.

For the non-therapist, there are lots of new case studies, examples and stories from his files that are both enlightening and entertaining. Most of all, the book helps us to reach into the depths of understanding of those age-old questions about the afterlife that we will one day all experience (again).

If you liked his other books, you will enjoy this addition. It is "must have" for hypnosis professionals interested in regression, spiritual growth or life-between-life.

Another Great Book By Dr. Newton
Dr. Michael Newton has written another fascinating book about Life Between Life therapy (LBL) that I recommend for both therapists and non therapists. In this book, Dr. Newton discusses the technique for helping clients access the spiritual world that we inhabit between lives. Reading this book made me want to visit a LBL practitioner for my own LBL therapy. There are many cases studies and examples that I found intriguing and several sections I read more than once. I highly recommend this hard to find book to anyone interested in the life of our souls.

I would give this book ten stars if possible!
This is a ground breaking book. It has altered my way of thinking and has enriched my life in ways that I could not of thought possible. He has written such an enjoyable and easy to read book, every page is filled with revelations. THis book changed my life. In the world of past life regression books, this book stands apart. It is truly a unique and ground breaking work. What he has here is nothing short of a travel guide to the higher spiritual realms. It is a remarkable and most excellent book. It is exciting and I read it almost non-stop. What more can I say? OUTSTANDING!!!!
