Life Between Lives: Hypnotherapy for Spiritual Regression (Michael Newton's Journey of Souls, 3) Paperback – May 8, 2004

'Life Between Lives' is a fascinating door-opener not only for professional hypnotherapists that it is actually written for, but also for lay persons who wish to know more about the power of hypnotherapy in its spiritual dimension, as life-between-lives regression therapy.In my review of this book I will however address the professional reader, simply because the quotes I shall provide from the book are addressed to this target group. For the uninitiated, let me put a precaution first.As regression therapy seems to be very popular today, and as there are today thousands of different regression therapies, let me point out why LBL is not a regression therapy in the popular sense of the word. Traditional regression therapy regresses the client into a former life, or a series of former lives, but does not touch the realm in-between lives.What is this realm of existence, and what is its vibrational nature? Call it the Bardo with the Tibetan Book of the Dead, or call it the ‘astral plane’ with Charles Webster Leadbeater, the word is not the thing.What is important here is to see that Dr. Newton has created a totally new, daring and absolutely unthinkable way of hypnotic regression that fills the gap between the already fashionable past-life regression and standard hypnotherapy, which typically regresses back to childhood and the realm between conception and birth.Dr. Newton is a twofold pioneer, he is a pioneer both regarding the professional conduct of a hypnotherapist (who was formerly simply not supposed to engage in this kind of regression), and he is a spiritual pioneer because he opened a new channel for truly religious experiences.To begin with, I was dumbfounded that Dr. Newton confirmed in at least one instance my research that concludes as to the existence of every human emanating a specific energy vibration that I came to call Emotional Identity Code.I shall now provide and discuss a few pointed quotes so as to demonstrate how Newton addresses the professional LBL hypnotherapist and what advice he gives for the still quite esoteric practice of LBL hypnotherapy. Admittedly my quotes are rather limited, but this is due to the simple fact that this book addresses a professional audience that will need much less guidance for purchasing a book that might be of interest for them.For Dr. Newton, the existence of the cosmic energy field that I was trying to conceptualize in my own research vocabulary is not a matter of doubt, but a simple fact of life.Newton also affirms the existence of soul values by affirming the higher reality of a soul-based continuum and karma that reveals itself during LBL hypnotic regression. His advice to practitioners is to help the client find their own personal identity by getting the complete (lost) picture of their soul reality.With this statement, Dr. Newton actually fully describes my own mission, and I felt grateful for the encouragement I received through his book. Also regarding the bioenergy, his book delivers practical information that is barely to be found anywhere else. He writes:—Please understand that prana is not the breath itself nor the oxygen involved with breathing but the energy connected to the breath. It is a connection to the energy of all living things as a universal life force. I have worked to train myself to seek energy pathways necessary to reach a particular client’s mind while asking for help from my guide and my subject’s guide. I begin by opening my mind and asking for guidance. In this way I try to receive information and not send it. What I do send to my clients are messages of confidence and reassurance. /12In my research on sound and energy, I have learnt that the human voice is a powerful musical instrument and vibrationally very important, when used intently and ingenuously.

Thank you, Dr. Newton for providing your detailed techniques for Life Between Lives regression work. And your book is so much more than that, in and by itself, but the practicality and usability of your approach and actual scripts w/i the book, that you have used to induce and deepen a subject, then regress to the last life and THEN explore the Spirit World in depth, are priceless. You even list the questions to ask so the subject fully experiences the surroundings and benefits most from the Spirit World exploration. Aside from there being a lot of pencil lead in my personal copy from underlining key points and approaches, this book is one that I will type up an outline with detailed notes for future reference because it is THAT specific and helpful for doing not only L-B-L Regression, but for P-L regression as well.Here's a great quote on page 191, where Dr. Newton differentiates the comparison of P-L regression from LBL regression; and he states WHY his focus is on LBL: "In my view, the difference between past-life regression and spiritual regression is that LBL therapy allows for an easier transformation of perception. The client moves from seeing themselves in lives comprised of many temporary personalities to viewing a true version of self, emanating from one recognized immortal character in a spiritual setting." Perfect summation! He proves the adage that: "You are not a body having a spiritual experience; you are a spirit having a human experience." Actually having MANY human experiences for that one soul, exploring ALL aspects of awareness. Great book!

I purchased this copy for a friend as I already own it. This is a great book to help answer some of those "What happens next" questions.Especially as Dr. Newton wasn't looking for, or even expecting to find "Lives Between Lives" when he was practicing hypnotherapy, it adds credence to the information he has found.

As a hypnotherapist I find this concept amazing I did find the questioning of the client to be a "leading" and would not do that in my personal practice. However he does give a reason why he is leading them, so that is a personal and professional choice. regardless it is worth the read, it is fascinating! The subconscious mind never ceases to amaze me!

An excellent read for those who have an u Teresa in this area. The knowledge and experiences of the author combine taking the reader on a journey of renewal and spiritual insightfulness. A must read for those interested in past life regression.

I have read 2 of his other bids and loved the information I had learned and so decided to get this book. I didn't realize this book was designed for the therapist or hypnotherapist at the time, so I was a little disappointed at first because I love hearing the stories of those who have undergone between life therapy. Although not what I expected, I found the book very interesting. Reading guidelines recommended by the author and reasons behind them, I found interesting. Perfect for the therapist interested in doing this kind of work in the future, but could be disappointing for the reader who loves reading the stories given by the clients.
