3 Step Process to Discover More

What Happens in a Life Between Lives Session?

The session starts with a conversation, about what brings you and what you want to look at. When you are ready, you close your eyes, and the journey begins. I do not tell you anything, I ask you things, and you describe what you notice. It is a conversation the whole way through, and people tend to go where they need to go.

Before you come back I do a very thorough review of the lifetime, so anything you are hanging on to gets dealt with. Afterward we go over what came up together, and you get a recording of the whole session. Listen to the recording later with a notebook in hand, there is typically more in it than you remember.

Is There Life Between Lives Near Me?

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

Your mind is always with you and that is where the change takes place, so what better place for the session than the very place 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.

What Do I Need for an Online Life Between Lives Session?

Not much. A comfortable chair where you can rest your head back, and I do not want you laying down flat. The one thing that really matters is headphones or earbuds with a mic. People talk softly when they are in the hypnotic state, and I need to be able to hear you, because the session is a conversation. Wired is better than Bluetooth, because batteries run out.

It is also better to be alone in the room. There may be things that come up that you would rather not say in front of somebody else, and honestly the other person gets bored anyway. I record the session and send you a copy of the recording, so you do not have to try to remember every detail.

What Training Should a Life Between Lives Practitioner Have?

Here is the position I have held for a long time. A Life Between Lives practitioner needs a real foundation in hypnosis, not just the method. The hypnotic state is how you reach the memories, and no two sessions go the same way. Plenty of people doing this work learned a method without ever learning hypnosis, and when something unexpected comes up, that is where it shows.

I learned hypnosis first, before I studied any of the regression methods, and that foundation is underneath everything I do in a session.

What If I Could Not Be Hypnotized Before?

You can still have a good session with me. In over twenty years of doing this, what I have found is that reaching the hypnotic state comes down to how the session is run. I adjust every session in real time, and I have more than one way in if the first one does not settle you. A busy mind is the most common reason people think they cannot be hypnotized, and an interactive session is what quiets it.

Clients who told me it never worked before often tell me afterward that this time it simply happened. Come with an open mind and let me handle the rest.

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 Life Between Lives clients in Oakland, California and around the world. You can read more about my background on the About Mark page.

I have worked with Life Between Lives clients online and in person. Ever since March 2020, all of my sessions have been online. Many of my Zoom Life Between Lives clients are inspired to leave a Google review after their session. Don't take my word for it, all of my Google Reviews since 2020 are from online sessions.

Past Life Review

Regarding the Past Life work that I did with you over a year ago, words can’t describe how valuable it’s been for me. The revelation not only answered a lot of questions but it gave me a sense of purpose that I didn’t have before.

Past Life Review

First of all, I want to say, thank you very much! You are so very skilled in your profession as a Past Life Regression Therapist and you conduct the sessions with such compassion and thoughtful preparation. The fact that you are a certified hypnotherapist appealed to me and you are so very spiritual as well, and open to calling in any and all spiritual assistance in the process is a special gift.

Frequently Asked Questions


No, they are two different things. Theta Healing is a specific trademarked method. The Theta state is the natural, deep brainwave frequency of hypnosis, where the critical analytical mind rests while the subconscious stays wide awake. That deep Theta trance is where past lives are accessed, and it is where you see the fluttering eyelids that tell me a client is there. I work in this Theta state so we can move past your logical thoughts and open direct communication with your Higher Self or spirit guides. From that place clients receive body scans, emotional clearing and answers to their life questions. So when people ask me about Theta healing, what I do is quantum healing hypnosis work carried out in the Theta state.

Yes, in my experience a mother's intense emotions during pregnancy can leave a deep energetic imprint on the baby in the womb. One woman I worked with had carried an underlying anxiety her whole life and could never trace it to anything in her own story. When we revisited the womb in the hypnotic state, she found her mother in a state of constant fear and survival mode while pregnant, because her parents had recently fled the Holocaust. Once she could see that the fear belonged to her mother's history and not to her own modern body, she was able to separate the two and release it. Clients often tell me that kind of relief runs deep, because the anxiety finally has a source and a place to go.

Most people have already read Journey of Souls, and often Destiny of Souls too, before they ever reach out to me. That is usually why they want to do the session in the first place, because reading the book provides encouragement to want to experience this world. I do not think it has an impact on the experience itself. Just recently I talked with someone who had read it and was blown away by it. So I cannot give you a cut and dry answer, do it or do not do it, because it is up to the individual. Here is what I would say. If you have not read it and you are concerned that it might give you expectations, then just do not read it. The session does not need the book. And if you have already read it, like most of my clients, you are in good company.

The easiest tell is how the message arrives. Your own logical thoughts involve active thinking, weighing and planning, and you can feel yourself doing the work. A message from your spirit guides or Higher Self lands all at once as a sudden clear hunch or a knowing, and my clients describe it the same way again and again, saying something like this just popped into my head. It arrives without effort and feels distinct from thinking. Learning to trust that line of communication without arguing with it is a real milestone in spiritual development. At the end of your session I teach you a self hypnosis anchor so you can settle into the relaxed state where those messages are easiest to recognize and trust on your own.

Asking why all the bad happened tends to keep you stuck in a victim pattern, so I invite my clients to ask a different question. Challenges and obstacles are chosen on a soul level before birth to serve as major catalysts for spiritual growth and to teach specific lessons. Rephrase your inquiry into a how or a what question. What do I need to do to move forward? How can I grow from this? Those questions open doors. In a Quantum Healing Hypnosis session, connecting with your Higher Self reveals the pre birth plan behind these struggles, and that gives you the clarity and direction to navigate your path with grace. Many people leave a session understanding their purpose going forward for the first time.

Repetitive conflicts or intense struggles with your partner are often structured on a soul level to trigger necessary growth. Before birth your souls agreed to incarnate together to help each other resolve old karmic patterns or learn lessons such as compassion or boundaries. In the hypnotic state you can trace the conflict pattern back to its original past life cause. Realizing that the ancient struggle belongs to a previous incarnation helps your subconscious release the current relational trigger, and what tends to happen is that the same old argument loses its charge. My clients often report more harmony and peace at home afterward, not because their partner changed but because the pattern underneath the fight has been seen and set down.
