Spiritual hypnosis differs from psychedelics and yet they are two paths to creating profound experiences. Over time, I have had clients come to see me after having ingested psychedelic drugs in the past. Some go to South America to Ayahuasca retreats. Others get hold of these drugs and use them at home. 

What are psychedelics?

Ayahuasca is a psychedelic drug that induces altered states of consciousness. Accordingly, there is an active ingredient in Ayahuasca, which is N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a chemical that was artificially synthesised in 1959.

Currently South Americas use Ayahuasca in special ceremonies and have done so for thousands of years. Specifically trained Shamans conduct these ceremonies to focus on healing and personal transformation.

Before we embark on a regression, one client tells me she had number of profound spiritual experiences while using this drug at a retreat. One experience changes her life-long troubled relationship with her mother for the better. Also she reports other people on the retreat also having transformative experiences.

The drug, ayahuasca, becomes active when two different plants are mixed together. Unfortunately, toxic chemicals are in these plants as well as the active ingredients. As some have found, toxic chemicals make some people extremely ill with nausea and vomiting. However the Shamans claim this toxic reaction is necessary purging, insisting it is ridding, people of toxins. In truth, the purging toxins are ingested from other natural ingredients in the plants.

After partaking in the ceremonies, people report that taking Ayahuasca creates certain experiences. These include leaving their bodies, going to heaven or the “other side,” becoming infinite and close to God. Some describe it as being like a Near Death Experience (NDE). 

Other participants warn that taking these psychedelic drugs can be extremely challenging. You might experience a bad trip and that can be disturbing.  

Spiritual Regression differs from Psychedelics

You don’t have to take psychedelic drugs to have profound experiences. Now and then, people come for regressions to have a similar experience, but without the debilitating purging and terror that psychedelics can induce.

During a spiritual regression (also known as life between lives regression), you find amazing things may happen. For example, you leave the body, go to the afterlife or other realms, revisit loved ones who have passed, meet your soul group, gain wisdom and love from the Council of Elders, God or other Enlightened Beings, find your purpose, discover the plan for your visit other planets or galaxies.

Thoughtfully, Henry comes for a life between lives regression, expressing an interest in taking psychedelic drugs to open his mind. I suggest we set an intention to experience in the regression the non-drug equivalent of using psychedelics.

Words are inadequate to describe what happens, but Henry does his best.  He takes long pauses between sentences. I assume he is then visualizing what is unfolding.

Henry’s non psychedelic spiritual hypnosis experience

I feel so big I cover a galaxy. This is showing me that I am a part of all that is.

Now I have felt myself come back into a physical form and I can see my chakras with all their lines of energy around me They are coming into me.

I am floating and really small. Tiny. Tiny.

Now, something massive is spinning in front of me, like a Ferris wheel, only huge. I am watching it. It’s a great big energy vortex.

I am a spot of light, a speck of dust in the sunshine.

Back now, floating in space.

Now I am looking at the world from the view of an eagle. I am the eagle, sweeping over a mountain, watching some people walking along a path cut into the bush on the side of the mountain. A sense of freedom flows within me.

Suddenly, I just landed on the limb of a dead tree.

Now I feel the dome of the world pushing down on me, like I am being screwed into a glass jar.

Being curious, I ask Henry what this means.

It’s the restriction of physical life, pushing down on me. That is not who I really am.

To clarify, I ask Henry is it possible to be free and physical.

Yes. That is what we are working towards.

After a pause, Henry Continues

I am looking over the horizon while standing on a high plateau.  The arc of the world, and the curve of the horizon is visible. I feel peaceful and contented as if everything is right, in place. Freedom.

Now I am walking through skyscrapers and crowds of people, like in New York or Tokyo. At the same time, I have that high panorama in front of me. It is like a hologram reflected on an oval-shaped, translucent egg that surrounds me. Even in this tight, crowded place, I have this wide perspective giving me that same sense of freedom and contentment.

Happily, Henry is thrilled by this “trip.”

While he is still in the trance, I give him the opportunity to anchor this wide, freeing perspective into many areas of his daily life. Now he can continue to carry this new sense of personal power and freedom with him.

because of his personal experience, Henry knows he doesn’t need to go to South America and take toxic plants to have a psychedelic experience. If you are open, trusting and ready, you can try doing what Henry did. Seek a qualified Micheal Newton Institute practitioner to help you find your own connection to unknown realms. Here Henry shows us how it is possible to have a psychedelic-like experience by undertaking a spiritual regression.
