What Happens in Past Life Regression Training?

It is six live days on Zoom, spread over two weekends, 10 to 6 Central Time. This is not a video course. You watch sessions happen, you talk them through, and then you do them yourself.

The rhythm of the class goes like this. I teach a piece of the process, then I do a live demonstration with a volunteer while the class watches. After the demo we debrief it together, what I asked, why I asked it, and what I might have done differently.

Then you trade sessions, practitioner and client, so you experience the process from both chairs. I invite former students and volunteers to join on practice days so everyone has a partner to work with. I think it is really good to see a demo before you do your own sessions, and the class is built around that.

The Skills

What Skills Does the Class Teach?

You learn the whole session, in the order it happens with a real client.

  • The pretalk, and how to settle an active, analytical mind before you begin, including the Ball.
  • Regression to a happy time in childhood, somewhere around four to eight years old.
  • Regression to the womb, where the experience is often more feeling than visual.
  • Moving into a past life, beginning with what the client notices first, and exploring it with open, non leading questions.
  • Guiding the client through the death scene and the transition with peace.
  • The past life review, where the healing and the understanding come together.
  • The post talk, and making sure your client is settled before the session ends.

You also learn the practical side of working online, including a short Zoom consultation before a session so you know what the client's internet connection is like before the day you need it.

Throughout, the emphasis is on trusting the way the information comes. Some clients see a past life, some feel it, and some simply know. You learn to work with all of them.

The Heart of the Session

Why Does the Past Life Review Matter So Much?

If something difficult comes up in a past life, it needs to be resolved in that past life. That is what the review is for. It settles the energy from that lifetime so the client does not carry it home with them.

Students have told me about sessions they had somewhere else, where they relived something painful and were brought out with a recording and a goodbye. That energy came out with them. In class you learn why that happens and how to keep it from happening.

You learn to keep a client in the process when they want to open their eyes and quit, to let the steam out of the pressure cooker, and to use tools like Gestalt and forgiveness inside the past life itself.

Connecting with guides and the higher self is its own class. I moved that work into my advanced Spiritual Connection and Communication training so this class has two full days of practice sessions.

My review is thorough, and sometimes it is longer than the past life. One client went to a lifetime as a four year old girl who slipped by a river and drowned, over in about two minutes. We spent more time in the review than in the life, and that is where the real work was.

The Material

Where Does the Method Come From?

I grew up watching my father, a medical doctor, guide people into past lives starting in the 1960s. Since then I have studied with Brian Weiss, Michael Newton and Dolores Cannon, and I have learned just as much from my clients and my students.

After teaching from a different manual for years, I wrote my own. Most of the past life review questions come from Henry Bolduc, whose books are in the public domain, and I share his past life training manual with my students. The work on releasing physical and emotional energy draws on Roger Woolger.

I have pulled from many places and made it my own. I do not read a script word for word, not even mine, because the work is about the soul in front of you. You leave the class with the manual and the scripts, and with the understanding to go beyond them.

Before You Enroll

Do I Need Hypnosis Training First?

Yes. Past Life Regression is an advanced application of hypnosis, so a hypnotherapy certification is required before this class. It gives you the foundation to guide someone safely into the deeper states this work needs.

If you have not trained in hypnosis yet, you can start with my live online hypnotherapy training. If you trained with another qualified teacher, send documentation of that training and we can talk it through on a discovery call.

Life Between Lives

Does This Meet the Newton Institute Requirement?

Yes. This class fulfills the Past Life Regression requirement of The Michael Newton Institute for Life Between Lives training. The Institute asks for certification in both hypnotherapy and past life regression before you apply.

You receive a Good Vibes Hypnosis Past Life Regression Certification when you complete the class and its case work. An optional Specialty Past Life Regression Certification is also available through IACT.

For students who want to keep going, the path continues from here. Hypnosis training, then Past Life Regression, then my advanced Spiritual Connection and Communication training. If you came here from the Newton Institute, my Career Partner page lays out the whole path.

Who It Is For

Is This Training Right for Me?

Many of my students tell me they were drawn to this work long before they could explain why. Some read Journey of Souls years ago and never let it go.

The class is a good fit for hypnotists and hypnotherapists adding past life work, therapists, coaches and healers who want spiritual depth in their practice, and anyone preparing for Life Between Lives training. What matters most is wanting to learn it live, with real sessions, rather than from videos.

If you are not sure, a free discovery call is about 20 minutes on Zoom. Ask anything at all, and we can figure out whether this class is your next step.

What Students Say About the Training

Google Review

I took the Hypnotherapy training course and a Past Life Regression training course with Mark and they were both amazing!! He is a great teacher, the online class format was a ton of fun, and I will miss our class a lot. There is a lot of information that Mark has carefully compiled through his extensive experience and with his deep knowledge of hypnotherapy, and he shares it in a really accessible way. Highly recommend taking both classes. Thanks Mark!

I have taken two training week-long learning experiences with Mark Johnson. I have also taken training experiences with three other internationally well-known names in the field of Hypnotherapy, specifically with past-life regressions. I considered all of these trainings to be very good and definitely worthwhile experiences. So it means a LOT when I say that the best training I received was hands down, no comparison, the training I received with Mark Johnson.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

You can, and I generally suggest spacing them out. Doing a Past Life Regression, QHHT and Life Between Lives inside a short window is something I call the Grand Slam, and it is possible. But these are deep sessions with intense emotional and energetic work in them, and in my experience it is best to allow several weeks, or even a quarter, between one and the next. That space gives your mind and body time to process, digest and integrate what came through into your daily life before you go into another deep trance. My clients who leave room between sessions typically find each one lands more fully than it would if they were stacked back to back.

Yes, I can accommodate an earlier start. My scheduling software only offers appointments at 10 AM or later, and I know that does not fit everyone, especially if you have childcare constraints or an early afternoon pickup. To secure an earlier start, book the earliest available 10 AM slot on the calendar and then send me a follow up email or text asking for 9 AM. I can manually override the restriction on my end and move the session to a 9 AM start. That gives you time to complete a four to five hour quantum healing hypnosis session before your afternoon responsibilities. Just let me know what you need and we will make it fit.

I feel that I connect with my own guides, as well as others in spirit, during sessions, and one way I do that is through my pendulum and sometimes muscle testing. I cannot say for sure where the answers come from. It may be my guides, your guides, the Masters of Light I have written about on the blog, or another guide who is a guide to one of your guides, but there is a connection, and the answers come. During an active session they let me quickly double check information, verify the exact identity of the spiritual guides or attachments present, and confirm that an energetic block, a negative contract or an earthbound soul attachment has fully cleared before we move forward. Think of it as a second line on the phone. The answers come through your voice first, and these tools give me a fast, reliable way to check them.

I cannot answer that specifically for you, because everyone is different, and that lifelong feeling of not fitting in is more common than you might think. It is one of the things people bring to a session as a question. I do not tell you where it comes from ahead of time, and I do not paint a picture during the session either. I ask you what you notice and let your own experience do the explaining. What I will say is that when someone finds the source of that feeling for themselves, the grief tends to lift, and settling into life here gets easier. The discovering is what helps, and it works best when every bit of it is yours.

What I have seen in sessions is that gratitude is one of the foundations of emotional and physical healing, and gratitude for yourself matters most. During sessions, guides often point out that a client is generous with love and gratitude toward everyone else while holding it back from themselves, and that leaves a person feeling empty and without purpose. When you actively cultivate gratitude for your own soul, your body and the resilience that got you this far, you line up with the frequency of unconditional love. In my experience that shift lets emotional blocks loosen, and clients often tell me their body feels different too, calmer and more at ease. Start with yourself. The rest tends to follow.
