Humans have known about the existence of spirits and the spirit world for tens of thousands of years of human existence, if not longer. Each tribe or culture has created their own interpretation of non-physical worlds from which our material Earth sprung.
These spiritual beliefs form the foundation of cultures. For example, the indigenous people of Australia have ancestral stories that came from the Dreamtime, the time when Ancestors created life and formations of the lands. The art, stories, ceremonies and song, passed down the generations, guide their survival physically, emotionally and spiritually.
In Western culture, the Bible formed the foundation of beliefs in an afterlife. Then came the renaissance, which eventually challenged the biblical ideas of heaven and hell, replacing them, to various degrees, with materialistic interpretations.
However, the evolution of Western culture has not stopped. It continues. In the last century, New Age beliefs have expanded from individuals becoming aware of non-physical worlds during Near Death Experiences, After Death communication, remembering past lives and other incidents that have no satisfactory scientific explanation. Some people write books about non-physical phenomena and readers have a growing body of literature to explore.
I am one of those who had an eye opening experience many years ago, but I am not alone. Michael Newton also described a similar experience well before I stumbled upon a client unexpectedly accessing a past life. I described this experience in my book, Other Lives, Other Realms. Hypnosis practitioners are particularly at risk of discovering the potential existence of other lives and realms.
Recently I came upon a link to Michael recounting this experience provided by the Michael Newton Institute in its quarterly online magazine, Stories of the Afterlife. You can subscribe to the magazine here. And the link to watch Michael is here. Both links are worthwhile and enlightening.

Today it is two years (22nd Sept. 2016) since Michael Newton departed for his life between lives. I thought it fitting to let you know about a new book with which he was involved.
The Book is “Llwellyn’s Little Book Of Life Between Lives” which is to be launched in the USA on the 1st of October 2018.
This is a great book for anyone interested in past life or life between lives regression. By using relevant and absorbing cases, it explains the process in detail, including the preparation, the hypnotic process, what the past life is like and “places” you can access in the life between lives. Because it is a small book with an attractive hard cover, it is a great gift.
I am a member of the Research Committee of the Michael Newton Institute, There are four of us and we are the authors of this book. Many of the cases in the book come from my clients (with permission of course)..
Ann Clark, the Director of the Research Committee, spoke to Michael Newton a few months before he passed. He had been asked by Llewellyn, the publisher of his books, to write this book. Because he trusted the work the Research Committee had already done, he asked Ann if she could take on the writing of the book. He was not in the best of health at the time. She promised him the Research Committee members would write the book. Sadly, Michael passed over before it was finished.
You can pre-order the book now, either with your local bookstore or the link below. If you have any problems getting it, please let me know.

A typical Near Death Experience (NDE) is similar to a Life Between Lives Regression (LBL) but with some key differences.
To have a Near Death Experience, an individual has suffered a trauma so severe that he (or she) has physically died. The NDE takes place while the individual is “dead” and terminates suddenly when he is revived.
A Life Between Lives Regression is significantly different in a most important way. The individual chooses to undertake the regression. All through the experience, the individual is guided by an experienced hypnotherapist. There is no pain and no trauma. The Life Between Lives Regression takes place in a context of serenity and security.
However apart from this key difference, there are many similarities between a Near Death Experience and a Life Between Lives Regression.
There are nine elements that have been identified as common in the Near Death Experience.
- Sound: The individual hears a buzzing or ringing noise while having a sense of being dead.
- Peace and Painlessness: Any pain the individual has experienced from the trauma disappears and he has a sense of peace.
- Out-of-Body-Experience: The individual senses that he has left the body and is floating above his physical body.
- The Tunnel: He feels he is being drawn into a tunnel usually quickly, until he sees a while light. Not everyone experiences a tunnel.
- No Tunnel Journey: He floats speedily upwards and can see the earth recede beneath him
- People of Light: He meets people who glow with light. Some are relatives or friends who have passed and who now greet him.
- Being of Light: The individual is greeted by a Being of Light. Some call this being God, Jesus or some other religious figure. He feels overwhelming love from this being.
- Life Review: The Being of Light shows him a review of his life. Most get the message that love is the most important thing in life.
- Reluctance to Return: The Being of Light tells him he must return but the love and peace are so profound most people return with great reluctance.
Researchers have found that people who experience a NDE are changed. Most change their priorities and value their relationships more than material things. Many are kinder and take on activities or work in order to help others. Nearly all lose their fear of death.
In the LBL, the hypnotherapist guides the individual into a deep trance. During the induction most feel they are out of body and floating. A rare few hear a buzzing sound.
All people undertaking a LBL go through a death experience. This is because the hypnotherapist will guide them to a past life and at the end of that life they pass over. This death is not traumatic because the hypnotherapist makes sure the individual knows they are not alone and are safe and secure. After experiencing their death most have similar experiences to those who have a NDE.
The person having the LBL will float upwards. Some will see the earth recede. Some will go through a tunnel. Nearly all will see a white light coming towards them that turns into a Being of Light. This Being of Light is usually identified as their spiritual guide and often gives them his or her name.
Once the Spiritual Guide is encountered, the hypnotherapist takes a back seat and lets the Spiritual Guide do most of the directing. The hypnotherapist now asks questions in order to record the experience and get answers to the questions set beforehand. If the individual gets stuck or starts coming out of the trance, the hypnotherapist ensures the individual stays on track.
Most people experiencing a LBL meet relatives on the other side. These are usually part of their soul group. People experiencing a LBL feel a sense of overwhelming love. They do a life review but this is usually of the past life they re-experienced in the trance. They meet a Council of Elders who give them information about their past lives, their current life and their purpose. The Council also answers any questions they have.
There are other places on the other side that the individual can experience such as the body selection area, the place where they planned their current life, the library and even other planets. Usually they are guided by their Spirit Guide to go to places of benefit to them in their current life.
Unlike people experiencing an NDE, there is no reluctance in the LBL for the individual to return. The hypnotherapist ensures that the LBL is complete and the individual is ready to return before he or she is guided back to Planet Earth and the current life.
Anyone on the other side experiences a sense of timelessness. People who experience a NDE report that they lost all sense of time. This also happens in the LBL when the individual feels he has been away for minutes but is actually in the trance for hours. While in this state, the individual is fully focussed on what is emerging moment to moment, and in this sense, time does not exist.
There are many similarities between the Near Death Experience and a Life Between Lives Regression but there are some important differences.
The LBL is not associated with any physical trauma and is planned rather than spontaneous. The individual has the opportunity to have specific questions answered and explore selected places. The individual is guided by an experienced hypnotherapist from start to finish and only returns when he or she is ready.

The process of Life Between Lives Regression takes the individual back in time, so to speak. He or she passes through the current life, back to experiences depicted as the immediate past life. After a brief exploration of the past life, the individual passes safely through the death experience and into the realm between lives.
Much is able to be explored here including the relationship between the past life and the current life. Individuals are usually working on specific themes in each life and this can be revealed. Relationships with loved ones and enemies are able to be better understood. Guidance about one’s future path is often available as well, although it might be expressed generally rather than outline any specific events.
Although it seems the focus is in the past, this is not actually true. Ultimately the spiritual regression is happening in present time but present time informed by ones past experiences. Some clients describe this as being bi-located. They are in the life between life state and, at the same time, they are aware of having a human body.
Some, however, are completely immersed in the LBL experience and are almost shocked to return, feeling again the heaviness of being human.
The Life Between Life process assumes the existence of past lives and a plan for our current lives. There is no way of knowing if what an individual experiences is objectively true. There is no way of knowing if the scenarios are real in an objective sense or if they are simply imagined. However this does not seem to matter. Sometimes an individual receives information that makes so much sense, they accept it as truth. In fact, most people who undertake this process have such a profound and enlightening experience that they tend to trust the guidance obtained about their life, their purpose and whether they are heading in the right direction.
Ultimately each individual needs to make up their own mind about the veracity of their experience. The only requirement for a successful Past Life regression or Life Between Lives regression is a genuinely open mind.
The Live Between Life process is not therapy and it is not intended to heal trauma. The exploration undertaken can make new connections for the individual and create a greater understanding of why they have encountered various life experiences. Sometimes this knowledge is therapeutic however it is important to realize that the Life Between Lives Regression is a positive process designed to gather information and understanding so individuals make future decisions that serve their highest good and the highest good of all.
