No, because this is not a reading. A past life reading is what people do with something called the Akashic Records, and that is a different thing. I am not a psychic. My wife is a psychic and a medium, she connects with those who have crossed over, and she would rather send past life work to me, because readings are her work and this is mine. In a session I don't tell you anything, I ask you things. I will tell you to go to the most appropriate time and place, and then you tell me what is going on. Once you are there I will ask you, what do you notice, tell me about it. You have the experience, you share it with me, and that tells me what to ask next to help you dig out additional insights. I don't paint a picture of anything. I don't talk about a monk or Egypt or whatever. I just let you do that. That is really what this is all about, me helping you find out more about what is going on with you.

Yes, I teach professional hypnotherapy and regression certification classes online through the International Association of Counselors and Therapists, and I have had students from all over the world. The course is a minimum of 220 hours. Half of that, 110 hours, is live interactive classroom time over Zoom, delivered in intensive four day modules of eight hours a day, Thursday through Sunday, typically every other week, with a follow up module after the main training. The other 110 hours is self directed study, which includes reading, watching educational videos, writing scripts, and a clinical requirement to hypnotize at least five people outside of class so your confidence is built on real experience before you finish.

Of course you can. Quite often my clients mention my therapist this, my therapist that. Any kind of hypnotherapy, I consider it to be complementary, and I choose that word deliberately. Alternative would mean you do not need your talk therapy, and that is not what I am saying. This can add another dimension to what you are already doing. You can bring the idea up with your therapist, and some therapists are really open to this work. I teach therapists how to do hypnosis, and a lot of the ones I teach go on to learn past life as well. Some are not open to hypnosis at all, much less past life, and that is true in any profession, some are open, some are not. I worked with a pastor in Houston who did a Life Between Lives session because his brother passed away, so there are plenty of people you might suspect would not be open to this who actually are. Here is the thing though. With past life there is really no gray area, people either believe it or they do not. So if you feel drawn to this work, do not let other people's views or judgment of it influence your decision.

Recurring dreams of combat or fighting are often your subconscious trying to process unhealed past life trauma, or a parallel lifetime, while you sleep. Sometimes that spills over into intense physical sensations or waking up exhausted. In hypnosis we can go into those recurring dream scenes safely, locate their original source, understand what they are trying to tell you and find emotional closure. Once the subconscious has done that work, it tends to let go of the protective loop it has been running at night. Clients who came to me with dreams like this often tell me their sleep became peaceful again. Your dreams are trying to get your attention. A session gives them somewhere to be heard.

Reincarnation is a voluntary choice, and your soul is the one making it. I hear from people who want to be sure they never come back, usually because this physical life has been hard. What I have seen in Life Between Lives sessions is that the decision belongs to your soul rather than to your human personality. Your soul is after growth, and it may get guidance or encouragement from your guides to come back and finish lessons that are still open. So the honest answer is that you do not have to reincarnate, but your soul often chooses to, because it sees something worth coming back for.

Because a Life Between Lives session asks for a great deal of hypnotic depth and a very quiet mind, and that takes some preparation. LBL is the pinnacle of spiritual regression, and a Past Life Regression or QHHT session comes first. When I check a client's readiness for LBL with my pendulum or muscle testing, my guides often suggest waiting two to three months after that first session. The gap gives you time to process and integrate what came up in the past life work, builds up what I call your hypnotic muscle memory, and leaves you energetically prepared to enter the spirit realm comfortably. In my experience that patience pays off in the depth of the LBL session itself.
