Has anyone here had a Life-Between-Lives regression?

For those not familiar with this, this is the technique developed by Dr. Michael Newton who wrote "Journey of Souls", "Destination of Souls" and other books. I highly recommend those books if you haven't already read them!

Anyway, I am interested in becoming an LBL Therapist and am learning more about it. It would take a few years to get all the training I'll need (over 100 hrs, and probably more like 400 hrs of hypnotherapy training first) to even qualify for the course, which is offered only twice a year to 16 students each time.

I would love to hear about your experiences, and whether or not the person who you went to was trained by the Newton Institute (if you know). I'm also planning to have a regression myself, but haven't yet (just have read all the books).
:hi:

This will be on past lives. The woman I'm working with was trained through the Newton Institute.


Then I have to save up a bunch-o-money for the 3-4 hour BIG session to go into the between lives place.

I'm considering doing the training too. Eventually. I've been doing "deep relaxation" with people and am getting some really nice results for them. I have yet to take any formal "hypnosis" training. I'm calling it "deep relaxation" because the term hypnosis can be so loaded for some people.

Let me know how things go and I'll share what I learn too.

Your deep relaxation sounds good, and I know what you mean about the hypnosis term. There's someone in my town trained by the Newton Institute and she charges $375 for a 4 hour session.

I would love to hear about your sessions if you get the LBL done.
Also, keep me posted if you decide to go further with looking into the training. Maybe we will be in the same class!
:hi:

But imagine having the definitive information on your life purpose. Seeing how everything fits and how everyone fits in your life.

What a powerhouse you can become! Like direct current flowing through you with the knowledge to forge a path based on your true purpose in this incarnation. Totally worth it.

I think it's great. I would really like to have this experience!

The woman with whom I had it was trained by the Newton Institute. I wasn't able to go under correctly. I feel that it was entirely my issue rather than anything that she did. I felt entirely safe with her, but I just can't seem to really do this type of thing. (I've tried to be hypnotized in the past, with similar results.)

How exciting for you if you decide to do this! :D

I consider "Journey of Souls" to be the most important book that I've ever read.

That book made a major difference in my life also.

I won't be able to get to the right stage, either. I did a regression session for past lives once and while I got some stuff, it sort of felt like I was making it up. ??

I'm intrigued and will probably try it at some point. And I think it would be great to be able to do it for other people. What a life changer!
:hi:

Additionally, even what I got was really nebulous -- not clear at all. My regressionist (is that the word?) tried to do a past life regression first, and that's where I had the problem. She didn't even attempt the life between lives stuff because of it.

FDB, I think that you would do a wonderful job at this. If it interests you, you're probably supposed to pursue it, even if in the end you decide that it's not what you really want to do.

:hug:  :hi:

She took me into the very relaxed state and went over some events in my current life.

It takes a very skilled person to take someone between lives. And the reason they do this in at least three sessions is because you have to go into such a deep trance state.

Nothing wrong with you IHAD. Perhaps it's just not time for you to actually have this experience.

on one level it seemed real, and the emotions I was feeling while describing this were real, too. But still..something just didn't feel spontaneous enough.

Anyway, I believe that others experience differently, and maybe I can, too (you work on each other during these trainings). But I am feeling drawn that way so we'll see. I'll admit that sometimes my passions wane before I actually see them through. :)
But I really appreciate your words of support!
:hi: :hug:

pretty exciting that you're going to do this!

Journey of Souls really meant a lot to me; I reread it every now and then. Same for Destiny of Souls, Dr Newton's second book.

I recommend "Courageous Souls" too--forget the author's name, but it has a number of very impressive channeled case histories--people who have led particularly tough lives with tough challenges.

I know what you mean about the books...I re-read them now and then as well and it just feels so good. I'll definitely check out Courageous Souls!
:hi:

The other medium is linked.......Looks like the book's been renamed, "Your Soul's Plan"

Newton's research is so fascinating. Wish you lots of success in your path.

:hi:

It's in the exploration stage but something I am definitely interested in. The journey continues!
:hi:

I did it with my regular therapist who is trained in past life regression which we had done many times. I told her I wanted to try this with her if she was willing and it was really fascinating. She just did the usual relaxation sequence and there I was without the need for a super duper deep regression sequence :shrug: A very interesting side effect was that I no longer feel so sad about death. It is just another phase. The circumstances may be sad and tragic but death is not the end of anything, just a shift like a loved one moving to a foreign country where I can't travel and communication to and from sucks big time. I feel odd and wonder if something is wrong with me (and know most people would think me heartless) but when someone comes and tells me about deaths I don't feel very sad any more. Sad for the friends and family, yes, and for any suffering the occurred before but for the death itself not much because I got a glimpse again of the immense love waiting there for all of us.

Your session sounds really successful. I do know what you mean about death not seeming so sad or so final anymore. I especially notice a difference when people seem almost desperately focused on keeping someone here whose quality of life and suffering make me feel that I wish they could end their time here and go home. My perspective has really shifted in that regard, too, and yet I still grieve for people I miss, or with people who have lost someone, like you do.

It has been such a comfort knowing that even though I miss the ones who are gone, they really haven't gone anywhere. :)

and hug but is it is not despairing never going to see them again sort of sadness, more of as I said before they are off to a fabulous place to have adventures, and while communication from this end sucks. I don't know how to put it, more of a I miss them but will see 'em soon like they are around the corner and we have a crappy cell connection where they hear everything and I just tidbits if I am lucky instead of not seeing them for decades from now when I kick the bucket at 101 or so ;)

or sporadically is wonderful, and like you, I don't despair because I know it won't be long in the scheme of things that we will be celebrating being together again, and complimenting each other on how we did as each other's mom, daughter, father, etc. this go around. :)

who had members move to the US. (Especially poor families who lost all communication, such as the Irish.) When the decision was made to come here, that family, by and large, lost that person in their lives, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries.

That's exactly what I did when my son died. I told myself, it's just like when mothers said goodbye to their children when they went to the "new world", they were still alive but just couldn't see them, and would rarely hear from them. It is really how I felt, and yet, I was still required to grieve that. Missing him in the physical was my job for awhile. and a hard one. Now, my relationship is completely in the spiritual and so I only rarely miss him in the physical plane, if that makes sense.
:hi: :hug:

the removal of your son's physical form. You are an extremely strong person, FDB. :hug:

I'm so sorry that you had to go through that, my friend.

Life is just life, a little bit of all of it for all of us--love, joy, pain, suffering, laughter, connectedness...
:hug:

at the Hypnotherapy Academy of America in Santa Fe, NM. The first six weeks were just for becoming a Certified Hypnotherapist. My certificate says 350 hours on it. We were in class from 9am to 6pm five days a week, and most of did lots of practice on each other outside of class.

The next two weeks were about pain relief and medical stuff, and the last two weeks was for natal regression and past life regression. We touched on the Interlife, but didn't go there in any great detail.

So you want to find out from any practitioner what kind of training they had, and how much experience they've had since the training. I'm just starting out myself, and I know I still have a lot to learn, and a lot of refining of my techniques.

Among the things that were stressed to us is that it's not a good idea to try to do a past life regression with anyone the first time you see them. There needs to be a lot of rapport building, as well as the client getting used to going in to hypnosis, and getting into a deep trance. That said, there's nothing special about who can be hypnotized, nor is there some weird magic in doing the hypnosis. It's just a matter of training, experience, and figuring out the right technique with a given client.

I am just starting my practice, and right now I'm visiting family and friends in another part of the country and doing practice sessions with them.

Here's something else that was stressed in my training: you don't just go looking for a past life for some kind of entertainment, but should be seeking one that in some way is important. Such as one that is the karmic reason for why a certain person is in your life. Or one where you developed special talents. Or one that explains why you are in the career you're in.

I am really hoping to build my skills in doing this, and I think I'd like to specialize in past life or interlife work.

Yes, there's a lot to becoming certified, but I bet it's interesting. I'm reading some Bandler right now. I'll work that into what I'm currently doing. I hope to go through hypnosis Cert. next fall.

usually of learning about and releasing the emotions associated with past events that influence this life such as overeating. I remembered many lifetimes of starvation and several where I starved to death.

Starved to death? I'm starting to feel bad for whining about all of my lives as a "deprived" noblewoman.

I am sure it was much the same way in most of the world throughout history. So i wasn't shocked at all the peasant type lifetimes of near and total starvation. We didn't go into a lot of detail as the focus was on releasing the emotional charge. Mostly I would pop into one life after another of me and/or loved ones dying or nearly dying of starvation.

I think your school is one I have looked at. It sounds really good! And yes, I agree, any exploration into past lifes or life between lives should be done with a spiritual intent. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress, especially as you get into regression and LBL!
:hi: :toast:

I've been to one channel who does karmic/past life readings; it truly has helped me to get a hold of something I'd never have otherwise "sussed". Very important...

But "between lives", no, I'd not known such a thing was possible/practical...I'd certainly like to get a word in edgewise on the being who has "planned" my last few lives. With a vengeance, that is. Teeth gnash, self-pity, etc. :rofl:

"Journey of Souls" which we were discussing above. It's amazing.

:hi:

Michael Newton in "Journey of Souls", (or really, those he regresses to report on their "life between lives") that person is YOU. :) The book explains that you make them hard in order to make the most of your time here in terms of your spiritual advancement. A friend of mine and I joke that if we are up there together talking about coming back to do something along the lines of this particular life we're now living, we both say, "Do me a favor and talk me out of it!" :rofl:

Edited to add: No disrespect intended to you or anyone if this is not in your belief system. It is just a way of viewing life, and I respect there are many other ways!
:hi:

Obviously "I" don't know shit about what it's actually like in the 3rd Dimension, until I actually get there...again...and most significantly, it's obvious that "I" need to outgrow the hubris and grandiosity of such demands upon myself. I just want to watch the sun set, every now and then. Sheesh...

And, none of us knows much about it, but I have to say, I like the way "Journey of Souls" describes it. And I think you're doing great, btw!
