Newton [top]: Michael
(1931–2016) was a counseling psychologist and master hypnotherapist who revolutionized the fields of regression therapy and spiritual psychology. Best known for his pioneering work into the afterlife, Newton developed specialized hypnotic regression techniques to guide subjects beyond their past-life memories and into a state he termed the "Life Between Lives" (LBL). Through his best-selling books and the foundation of a global training institute, Newton transformed abstract metaphysical concepts of the soul into a structured, experiential therapeutic framework.
Every soul undergoes a compassionate but rigorous review of their recently completed life. Guided by highly evolved spiritual teachers known as the Council of Elders, this review is not punitive. There is no concept of hell or eternal damnation in Newton’s model. Instead, the soul experiences the emotional consequences of its actions from the perspective of those it affected, allowing for profound self-evaluation. 4. Soul Groups and Clusters

Perhaps Michael is the one in the room who listens more than he speaks, but when he does speak, the noise falls away. Or maybe he’s the adventurer, quietly chasing horizons with a notebook full of ideas and a heart unwilling to be boxed in.
This is the most famous part of Newton’s model. The soul is met by a welcoming committee of related souls (often lovers or family from past lives). They are led to a "spiritual guide." Unlike the grim reaper, this guide is a mentor who has never incarnated. Instead, the soul experiences the emotional consequences of
Newton was originally a skeptic regarding reincarnation and spiritual phenomena. His shift toward metaphysical regression occurred accidentally during a clinical session. While treating a client for chronic psychosomatic pain, Newton directed the individual to find the origin of their discomfort. The client bypassed their childhood experiences and detailed a vivid memory of being killed by a bayonet in a past-life trench battle. When the pain vanished following the integration of this memory, Newton began exploring past-life regression.
A male client complained of chronic, severe pain in his right side that medical doctors could not explain. Under deep hypnosis, Newton instructed the client to go to the origin of the pain. Instead of revisiting a childhood injury as Newton expected, the client experienced a vivid flashback of being a soldier in World War I, dying from a fatal bayonet wound to his right flank. Once the trauma of that past death was processed and released in hypnosis, the client's physical pain permanently vanished. Accessing the Inter-Life State
The client bypassed her childhood and her past lives entirely, entering a state of deep trance where she reunited with her "soul group"—spiritual peers who awaited her in the afterlife. This marked Newton's first glimpse into the Life Between Lives (LBL) state, a realm he would spend the next three decades mapping. The Mechanics of Life Between Lives (LBL) Hypnotherapy
