Book LBL in Charlottesville, Virginia

You may already know exactly what you want to explore in a LBL session, or you may only know that something keeps pulling at you. Either way, the session starts with you and what you bring. I am not going to tell you things in the session, because I want you to tell me. I am going to ask you, what do you notice.

The whole thing happens online over Zoom. A lot of people who have done both tell me they prefer online, no traffic, no drive, and you are in your own comfortable place in Charlottesville when the session ends.

3 Step Process to Discover More

What Does a LBL Session Feel Like?

The hypnotic state feels like the place you pass through right before falling asleep, not fully awake and not asleep either. The difference is that you stay aware the whole time. You hear my voice, you know where you are, and we are talking the whole way through.

It is not like watching a movie of the past. You are in the middle of it, telling me what you notice, and people tend to speak softly in the hypnotic state. Most of my clients are surprised by how natural it feels.

Is There LBL Near Me?

If you searched for LBL near me in Charlottesville, here is the honest answer. All of my sessions happen online over Zoom, so near you means your own chair in your own quiet room. For seventeen years I worked with clients in person, and since 2020 everything has been online.

Your mind is always with you and that is where the change takes place, and there is no better place for the session than right where you want to notice the change. Check the schedule for a day and a time that works for you, and we meet on Zoom.

Where Should I Be for My LBL Session?

It does not really matter where you are, it just needs to be quiet. Most people are at home in Charlottesville, in a comfortable chair with a place to rest their head. Laying down flat is the one thing I ask you not to do, because comfortable and asleep are two different things.

The thing to have ready is headphones or earbuds with a mic, because people talk softly in the hypnotic state and I need to hear what you are telling me. And it is best to be alone in the room. If somebody else is there, you might hold back on something that needs to come up. I record the session and you get a copy.

What Training Should a LBL Practitioner Have?

My position on this has not changed in twenty years. Training in LBL is not enough on its own, the practitioner needs a foundation in hypnosis underneath it. Hypnosis is how the memories are reached, and a session rarely goes by the book. A lot of people offering this work learned a method but never learned hypnosis, and when something unexpected comes up, that is where it shows.

I went the other way around, I learned hypnosis before I ever studied the regression methods, and everything I do in a session is built on that foundation.

What If It Feels Like I Am Making It Up?

Almost everybody has that feeling at some point, and here is my instruction when it shows up. If it feels like you are making it up, keep making it up and go with the flow. Analyzing is what pulls you out. The subconscious borrows your imagination to translate what it holds into words, so feeling like imagination at first is part of how it works.

Afterward we look at the experience together, and that is where people notice what came with it, emotion and physical responses that are hard to manufacture on purpose.

I am Mark Johnson. I grew up around this work, my father was doing past life regression back in the 1960s when I was a kid, and I have been doing this work myself for over twenty years, more than 3,000 sessions and counting. Since 2020 everything I do is online, which is how I work with LBL clients in Charlottesville, Virginia and around the world. You can read more about my background on the About Mark page.

Mark discusses Past Life Regression and related topics on a local cable show in south Texas.

I have been working online for years, in 2020 I moved all of my sessions and training online. Just like with face to face sessions, my Zoom LBL clients experience powerful changes in their lives as a result of these sessions. Check out the Google Reviews from my clients on my website and on my Google Business Profile, so that you can see for yourself.

What Clients Are Saying

Past Life Review

I've experienced Past Life Regression via hypnosis in the past (both group and individual), but the session I had with Mark was decidedly different. Unlike those previous appointments, Mark set aside plenty of time to talk with me about what I hoped to accomplish and explain the hypnosis process in general. Because of the current shelter-in-place ordinance, we agreed to meet via Zoom. I had my doubts about conducting the session online, but I found that being able to relax in my own home actually enhanced the experience and put me completely at ease. If you're considering Past Life Regression or hypnosis in general, I would highly recommend making an appointment with Mark. His extensive knowledge, caring personality, and years of experience put him head and shoulders above anyone else.

Past Life Review

The session with Mark was simply amazing. I highly recommend it. I am rather private with my experience but it far exceeded my expectations. I will do it again.

Past Life Review

Past Life Regression Training - I did the Past Life Regression training with Mark. He is a fantastic teacher who is so enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgeable about Past Life Regression. The course was one of the very best ones I have ever done. The training sessions were mind-blowing and helped me to connect a lot of missing dots in my own life. I highly recommend Mark's Past Life Regression Training Course as he is the best teacher you will ever get. Mark, thank you so much for introducing me to the Past Life Regression and training me in such a profound way that I can use my newly acquired knowledge right away for my clients with amazing results.

Past Life Review

Yes, it was a very powerful session. And, the proof is in the pudding. It’s like that session flipped a switch inside me. I had been struggling with certain things related to vocal technique in choir, and magically, I knew how to fix them all Sunday morning and Monday evening during rehearsal. It worked! And, I wasn’t even planning on it to fix things in that area!

Frequently Asked Questions


Sit upright, propped up with several pillows in bed or relaxed in an easy chair, sofa or recliner with good neck support. I steer clients away from lying flat because your brain is deeply programmed to associate lying flat in bed with deep, unconscious sleep. During trance you stay actively awake and conversational so you can answer my questions, and sitting upright keeps your physical body from accidentally drifting off into normal sleep. If that happens I have a wakeup call to bring you back, and it is simpler to avoid the detour. Comfort matters, so arrange whatever supports your neck and lets you settle in for a few hours without shifting around.

Yes. ADHD, a busy mind or a hard time with silent meditation has not kept my clients from going into hypnosis. Hypnosis is a natural brainwave state that everyone cycles through every day, and you do not have to sit perfectly still to get there. Over twenty years I have developed ways of stacking several hypnotic inductions on top of one another, and that layering is designed specifically to keep a busy analytical mind occupied so it can step aside. It is a progressive relaxation, so the overactive conscious mind is gently guided out of the way rather than fought with. What my clients with ADHD typically find is that the constant activity in their heads is no barrier at all, and deep subconscious memories come through just as easily.

Yes. In my experience past lives are not limited to Earth or to human form. I have had clients go to lifetimes on other planets and lifetimes as other species. I am not going to describe what those were like, because I do not paint a picture, and whatever you find in your session needs to be yours. If your session takes you somewhere unexpected, let it. Those are often the lifetimes with the most to teach you.

Feeling stuck or disjointed during a time like this usually means your old identity is shifting and you are starting to perceive reality beyond the physical, and the ground moves under you for a while. In a Quantum Healing Hypnosis session we connect with your Higher Self or your spirit guides and ask directly. What comes back are clear, actionable downloads that explain why these transitional obstacles are showing up and what your purpose is as you move forward. Once you understand what the shift is doing, my clients typically find the anxiety eases, the old energies are easier to release, and they can step into a more integrated version of themselves rather than sitting in the in between.

Those fast flashes are what some of my clients call fleeting images, so I use that term as well, and I can slow them down. Some of my clients are not especially visual, so a past life memory arrives as a quick scene that appears and vanishes, almost like a slide show. When that happens I use specific hypnotic suggestions that ask your subconscious to let the images settle and hold still long enough to look at. I also shift your attention away from your inner vision and toward what you feel in your body and your emotions, because those channels tend to be steadier. What typically happens is the scene stabilizes, and once it holds we can gather rich, detailed information from it just as we would from a vivid picture.

Yes. Once a loved one crosses over, their consciousness stays fully awake and aware of your life, and in my experience they can hear your thoughts. Many of them stay close and step into the role of a spirit guide. During the question and answer portion of a quantum healing hypnosis session, a spouse, parent or family member who has passed can come forward. They may offer comfort, specific signs to watch for, or direct messages that arrive through your own voice or as an inner knowing. Clients often describe this part of the session as deeply healing, and for many it brings a sense of closure they had been missing.
