The Initial Inquiry: Addressing Client Belief Systems Before entering into the details of hypnosis methodology connected to the practice of spiritual regression, I think it is fitting to consider your approach to questions about the afterlife. As a spiritual regressionist, you will have clients who are in a personal quandary about their beliefs at the time of their first contact with you. How you respond to their respective concerns might well be the determining factor in their making an appointment. While a large majority of the people who wish you to help them access their soul memories are comfortable with their beliefs, others are conflicted by religious teachings, concerns over the mechanics of hypnosis in reaching their life between lives, or they may have some skepticism about trusting themselves to you in facilitating their mental entry into the spirit world. I begin my sessions by explaining to the unsettled potential client that it will benefit them to enter their hypnosis regression with an open mind. I might even tell them that regardless of their belief system, their unconscious memories are probably going to reveal a home in the spirit world that will be consistent with the reports from everyone who has undergone spiritual regression. A skeptic could argue that this sort of reassurance is actually preconditioning the subject. Even so, after conducting thousands of life between lives hypnosis sessions, I am comfortable with making this statement to an anxious client. When considering bias, there is also the fact that my books about the afterlife are already public knowledge. If a potential client raises the possibility of being swayed by having read these books, I explain that during the many years before my research was published I told most clients very little in advance. Either way, you will find it makes no difference. Once a subject mentally enters the spirit world through deep hypnosis, regardless of their ideology or what I have told them in advance, their reports are going to be similar to everyone who went before them. I have been told by the LBL hypnotherapists I have trained that they have had clients who never heard of me or my books who, without prompting, have also been consistent in their reports of the spirit world. The differences are in the soul activities they see clearly and those that are hazy. No two sessions are exactly the same because each soul has a specific energy pattern for recovering stored immortal memories and their own unique history of existence. If a potential client has reservations about metaphysical philosophy due to a rigid belief system, this may have created an inner turmoil that you must address at the outset. This person has contacted you because they do want spiritual information about their higher self and yet ideological reservations are holding them back. I often find in such cases that underneath this mental conflict lies unhappiness and dissatisfaction over how these individuals consciously view the world and their lives. Such people have contacted you because they have finally reached a point where they are willing to seek answers by a new approach. In these circumstances, an eclectic therapist can be a good sounding board for open-ended philosophical discussions that are reflective, interpretive, and encouraging to the potential client.
