Life Between Lives Hypnotherapy

Recent history is full of published books and articles on Past Life Regression. The works of Edgar Cayce, Brian Weiss, Dick Sutphen, Jane Roberts (Seth) and others, have been topical discussion for many years.

 But while all this was happening, one Hypnotherapist in the United States was exploring even deeper and further into the spiritual realms. His first results decades ago, seemed quite extraordinary, then a remarkable consistency began to emerge. Not satisfied there, Dr. Michael Newton PhD continued to gather information across not hundreds, but thousands of case studies, as he scoured the soul memories of clients looking for their personal answers to the questions that have plagued us since time imorial: “Why am I here?”, “What is my life’s purpose?” “What will happen to me when I die?”.  Many thousands have now explored the “between lives” state and once his findings were published, his books Journey of Souls (1994) and Destiny of Souls (2000) became bestsellers, the latter awarded “Metaphysical book of the year” in 2001 by the Independent Publishers Association at their annual Book Exposition of America meeting.

 Life Between Lives Hypnotherapy (LBL) is different from any other type of regression work as it takes place in the region of the mind that Dr. Newton and some others have referred to as the “superconscious”. This is the part of the mind where the soul’s memories can be accessed by a deepening process designed specifically by Dr. Newton in order to take the client deep into trance to the range of brain waves known as Theta. The technique is performed gradually, with several warm up exercises through various levels of regression, moving through childhood, womb and ultimately past life experiences, before launching into the spiritual realm. From there clients have experiences that reflect the following:

 

• They may be met by their spiritual guides, who greet them and shower them with loving, healing energy repairing them from a difficult life experience
• They may be reunited with their soul group made up of a number of beings ranging from a handful to some 20, who they frequently re-incarnate with as a means by which to learn and grow together.
• They often visit their spiritual council of wise beings who help them debrief and track their progress from life to life pursuing dedicated themes for growth and progression. This is always a wonderfully supportive and encouraging process.
• They may undertake various roles and activities in the spiritual realm in their between life states that continue their learning and provide recreation.
• They may work with others to select their next body for incarnation, each selection coming with particular opportunities and challenges. These are weighed and considered before a final choice is made.

 In 2002 Dr. Newton decided it was time to lift the veil on his processes and to expand his life’s work. He turned his attention to teaching, so that other Therapists could expand this work and he formed the Society for Spiritual Regression, with initially a handful of therapists, though it quickly started to grow.

 In April 2005, there was a shift in energy at the annual US training conference in Boulder, Colorado. People had journeyed from all corners of the world to be part of the training. Every continent on the planet was represented, and Michael Newton’s  work had suddenly gone global. The need for the transformation of the organisation emerged rapidly as the growing number of therapists seeking training, accreditation and membership rose sharply.

 In July 2005, the members voted whole-heartedly to form "The Michael Newton Institute " for Life between Lives Hypnotherapy (The Newton Institute (TNI) for short), to honor the Founding Father of the work that has transformed the lives of thousands. Michael himself was humbled by how far the journey had taken him over three decades.

 Now retired and in his 70s, Michael has returned to the Board of Directors in a specially created advising role, to continue to steer the global expansion of his work. He now leaves his life’s work in the hands of the next generation of Life Between Lives Hypnotherapists.

Already the work has reached the shores of Australia, in 2008 we saw The Newton Institute’s first course in the Southern Hemisphere for Hypnotherapy Practitioners. A very special training team traveled to Sydney from around the world to facilitate this event.

I was fortunate to be part of this event and now offer sessions of spiritual regression (LBL) therapy from my clinic in Brisbane.
