Life Between Lives, is a deep hypnotic regression to that very special time a soul spends in spirit between incarnations. During an LBL you experience yourself as an immortal soul, meet your guides, loved ones and other wise beings who help you explore your soul lessons, life’s purpose and other questions that you have prepared for the session. During this time in spirit many experience healing, unconditional love and oneness with all things. LBL is a profound, life transforming experience.
Life Between Lives regression therapy is based on research by Dr. Michael Newton that spanned more than 25 years with over 7000 of his clients. Since his initial research approximately 35,000 LBL’s have been conducted by 200 LBL therapists in about 40 countries.
An LBL begins with a long and very deep hypnotic induction to help the conscious mind to disengage and achieve a highly-expanded state of consciousness. The actual regression begins with going back to some pleasant childhood memories. From childhood, we continue back to that unique time in the womb, after conception and before birth. Here, we get the first soul memories. In the womb, we can explore such things as how you feel about coming to be born and what it is you hope to do, learn or work on. From the womb, we go back to the most recent past life to review some of the significant events as well as how that life ended.
This is one place where LBL differs greatly from traditional past life regression. Rather than doing a detailed review of the past life combined with interventions, we want to use the past life death scene as a doorway into spirit. Once the soul enters the spirit realm, the reviews, interventions and healings will be done in a most loving way by the guides and loved ones rather than by the therapist.
It is important to note that once the soul remembers returning to the spirit world, it enters “Now Time.” Being in now time, allows for review of the soul’s past experiences and it also allows for insight and guidance about the current life and future events.
Some people think reincarnation, guides and having a soul are interesting concepts that might be true. Others believe in reincarnation, guides and having a soul. During these sessions, you not only remember, but you experience your own reincarnation, your guides and yourself as an immortal soul. After these sessions, you know that you have reincarnated, you know your guides, and you know yourself as the soul that you are.
I would like to quote Ann Clark, our director of research here. “From our pilot study The lived experience of a visit to the spiritual realm during LBL, we learned that participants reported less fear of death, a clearer sense of their life purpose, a new perspective on troubling relationships in their lives, and less anxiety about challenges they were currently facing, as well as learning new strategies for coping.”
My LBL Story
by Paul Aurand
Ever wonder what happens when you die? I found out the hard way when I was struck by lightning and had a near death experience in 1998 (read the full story here). Since then I discovered a much easier way to explore what happens after death and that is through Life Between Life Regression. This unique and powerful work was developed by Dr. Michael Newton through over 25 years of regression research. His two best selling books, Destiny of Souls and Journey of Souls detail incredible this work and are well worth reading.
Although I had done thousands of past life regressions in my work as a hypnotherapist, it was not until shortly after my near death experience that I began searching for a way to take people to that very special place between lives. After reading Dr, Newton’s second book, “Destiny of Souls” I had the opportunity to meet and train with him in Virginia Beach and learned to do Life Between Life Regression therapy. After assisting with two of these trainings I am now able to train others in this most wonderful therapy.
Imagine being taken back to the end of your most recent past life and hovering above the death scene. As an objective observer I view my body, say my farewells and then feel drawn away from the scene. Pulled higher and higher I move faster and faster towards a light. This light seems to reach out towards me. It embraces me, wraps me in a welcoming blanket of reassurance and comfort. A beautiful garden like scene develops. It is a sort of Roman Greco affair with columns. My mind is saying “now wait a minute, this is too Hollywood, and the understanding comes that I am experiencing this welcoming back to the spiritual world in a way that will be comfortable for me and that it can really appear however I want it to appear.
Before I know it I am being guided to a place of healing. Here I am led into an area where concentric circles of light are directed over and through me. Much like sound waves these circles of light heal me of the “density” I have brought with me from my life on earth. I stay here for some time and don’t really want to move on. In time I feel rejuvenated and know it is time to go.
The next stop in my journey is before the Elders or Council of Light Beings. As I approach I am feeling guilty and apologetic about not having lived my life well enough. The message comes loud and clear “There is no place for guilt here.” and “You have done well.”
I am greeted by five light beings wearing energetic robes of light. They emanate the most beautiful bluish white light and I am overwhelmed with total and unconditional love. Tears flow now as my life is reviewed and my progress as a soul is discussed. All of this is done in a most loving and accepting way. My life patterns and soul lessons are shown to me and I am taught about judgment, separation, and the interconnection of all beings. I am also able to ask questions about my life’s purpose and some of my experiences and lessons. This will all help me live my current life in a much more conscious and meaningful way.
From the council chambers I am taken to a wonderful gathering place where I can sense the presence of those souls with whom I have deep and lasting connections. They seem to line up in rows waiting to greet me. There is an indescribable sense of being welcomed back from a long, long journey away. It is a joyous reunion of souls.
One by one they come forward and talk to me about our previous lifetimes together. We discuss promises, contracts and agreements we have made in this life and past lives and all of the different relationships we have agreed to experience with each other. What a different perspective this gives me about some of my relationships!
From the reunion of soul I am directed to a large building that is a kind of a library. This is an amazing place where the “books” are alive and interactive. One has access to the wisdom of the universe here. There are many souls who have come to this place to learn and study. Rather than reading the information, I am able to experience it on a soul level.
I know there are more places to visit but I am drawn to a place where I am being prepared to come back to earth. There is a process I go through of selecting the gender and type of body that seems appropriate for my soul lessons in my next life. I am even able to see brief images of some of the experiences I may have in my coming new life. Based on what I need to learn and what I will experience with the new body, I choose the one that seems best suited.
It becomes clear that although much more has taken place in my time in the spirit world I am to begin my return journey. It is time to come back into the present time, back into my present body, bringing with me all of the wisdom and love I have just experienced.
As I come back to my normal waking state I realize my life between life regression has been going for over three hours! We review my session and many of the highlights. I can’t believe how much I have experienced in this incredible journey. I feel exhausted and exhilarated. With tapes of my session in hand I leave still half here and half there in the spiritual realm. My life will never be the same. What a journey it has been!
