Michael Newton wrote Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls, the books that introduced Life Between Lives hypnotherapy to the world, and the institute that carries his name still trains and certifies LBL practitioners today. Life Between Lives is the name he gave to deep hypnotic work centered on the period between incarnations, what your soul does after one life and before the next. I found out in 2007 that he was coming out of retirement to teach, and I made sure to be there. I traveled to Chicago that year to train with him, and that training is when I decided to specialize in spiritual hypnotherapy. I later served as a teaching assistant for LBL training, spent time with Michael at the Newton Institute strategy meeting at San Damiano in 2011, and returned there for LBL teacher training in 2014. The full story is in the Teachers and Influences section of my blog.

A soul retrieval is a process I can weave into any regression when a piece of you seems to have gone missing. Extreme trauma, a near death experience, or the sudden loss of someone deeply loved can cause a fragment of your soul energy to leave or to stay with the person who passed. That is why people often feel empty, incomplete, or unable to find joy years after a devastating loss. It is not a separate session. Within your regression we locate that missing fragment, gently detach it from the deceased, and bring it back into your being. My clients often describe a feeling of wholeness returning, like a part of themselves they had forgotten is finally home.

Life Between Lives goes to the deepest level of soul memory, so a Past Life Regression or QHHT session comes first to build the depth to reach it. An LBL session focuses on the spiritual realm itself, what your soul experiences after a death and before the next incarnation, including your soul group and the Council of Elders. Those memories are exceptionally deep and complex. A first session in either Past Life Regression or Quantum Healing Hypnosis trains your mind to go to that hypnotic depth comfortably and to translate subconscious impressions into words, so when you come back for LBL you already know how it feels and the experience can be full and meaningful. Either one qualifies as your first session, and I suggest Past Life Regression mainly for people who know they are heading toward LBL.

Those intuitive flashes, hunches and psychic knowings are often messages your spirit guides or Higher Self are dropping into your mind. In the hypnotic state, clients discover that what they had been writing off as random thoughts, odd coincidences or their brain doing something weird is actually real spiritual guidance. In a Quantum Healing Hypnosis session you can ask your guides about your gifts directly and how to use them. From there we work on trusting it. I teach self hypnosis anchors and progressive relaxation so you can quiet the logical, analytical part of your mind on your own. With practice, many people learn to hear these signals comfortably, recognize them when they arrive and trust them enough to navigate their lives by them. Understanding the gift is the first step, and using it well is the second.

If you feel a strong desire to know more about your past, to understand recurring patterns in your life, or to explore the deeper purpose behind your journey, that is often the clearest sign that you are ready. Trust that inner pull. This work is most meaningful for those who come with a genuine intention to explore and grow. If you would like to talk it through, I invite you to schedule a Discovery Call so we can discuss whether this is the right next step for you.

That instant, unexplainable familiarity with someone is often a sign that your souls have shared many past lives. Souls travel and incarnate together in groups, working on shared lessons over many lifetimes and trading roles as spouses, siblings, parents and close friends. Before your session you fill out a cast of characters list with the important people in your life. As past life scenes come up, I cross reference that list, and clients are frequently surprised to recognize a current spouse or friend in a very different role. Seeing the original agreements and karmic bonds behind the connection tends to bring clarity, and many people come away understanding why this particular relationship feels so deep.
