Spiritual Regression for Peace and Healing

Swiss regression hypnotherapist Demarmels explains the process and philosophy behind her practice of Michael Newton's Life Between Lives methodology, which focuses on both returning to past lives for insight and inspiration and revisiting past deaths and the time in the spirit world immediately afterward, during which the soul reconnects with its spirit guide and evaluates the lessons of the life just completed. Her perspective is that the "basic mission for every incarnation" is to "bring the qualities of the soul down to the terrestrial level" and that the soul intends even the difficult situations we experience. For example, a soul that perpetrated harm may choose to experience the other side of a challenging relationship bybecoming a victim. Narrative examples throughout the book plus 20 case studies give snippets of human insight, and show readers the potential positive results of perusing this work with a professional. Despite some bland examples and overly descriptive writing, Demarmels's quiet, life-affirming joyfulness comes through, along with her confidence in her ability to help people improve their understanding of life's path through regression hypnotherapy.
