Current Steps to LBL Training and joining our LBL Facilitator Community
MNI LBL training is an amazing personal opportunity. Not only do you become qualified to offer LBL sessions to your own clients, you also become part of our MNI family and LBL Community Below is a step by step overview of this pathway. Please contact us at careers@newtoninstitute.org for more information.
1. Become a qualified and experienced hypnotherapy practitioner
Only qualified and experienced practitioners are accepted for MNI Life Between Lives training. A minimum of 200 hours formal hypnotherapy education, encompassing age regression and the use of trauma release by therapeutic intervention techniques, and Past Life Regression is required.
Please visit the list of courses with Newton Institute approved Career Partners, available throughout the world and online.
2. Learn and practice past life regression methods
Next you should focus on training and gaining experience in age, womb and past life regression hypnotic techniques. Here you will learn to guide your clients back to key experiences so that they can understand, evaluate and place in perspective the relevance of those past experiences by integration into their current lives. Experience conducting a minimum 40 past life regression sessions is required.
Please visit the list of courses with Newton Institute approved Career Partners, available throughout the world and online.
Although womb regression experience is also desired, for those who do not have this before undertaking LBL training, a short practicum will be included in the LBL training course to ensure this skill is also covered.
Our LBL Facilitators also have a wide variety of previous past life training from a number of hypnotherapy schools around the world. Contact us to enquire if your training, (or intended training), meets the set prerequisite standard for LBL training.
Pre-LBL Training
For those who need more past life regression experience, as well as for those who meet the qualifications of The Michael Newton Institute Life Between Lives Regression Training and wish to improve their regression skills before taking the MNI course, you may enroll in the Pre-LBL training offered by a number of our Career Partners.
In this training you will learn and practice some of the specialized regression skills originally developed by Dr. Michael Newton that prepare you for taking The Michael Newton Institute Life Between Lives Regression Training. And then have time to practice those skills in preparation for the MNI Training.
If you are an experienced past life regression therapist but are not familiar with the Michael Newton method of regression through childhood, womb/in-utero and past life, this training will give you the additional required methodology and experience to qualify for the MNI Training.
3. Complete the required reading
Likely you will have already read Journey of Souls, Destiny of Souls by Dr. Michael Newton on your journey to deciding to become an LBL Facilitator. These books and Life Between Lives Hypnotherapy, also by Dr. Newton, are required reading before taking LBL training. We highly recommend also reading other MNI books including, Memories of the Afterlife, Llewelyn’s Little Book of Life Between Lives, Wisdom Of Souls, and Finding Purpose in preparation for your training.
4. Apply for LBL training
You are now ready to apply for LBL training! Visit our LBL Training page to see what locations and dates are available.
Application for Course Registration
Your application must be supported by documentation, such as copies of relevant certificates of training and qualification. You will be advised of your acceptability for training or contacted by a training advisor for further information within two weeks of applying.
A limited number of full or partial scholarships may be available for each training. If you wish to apply for a scholarship, please contact Admin to see if a financial scholarship is available for your training of choice. Scholarship applicants will be asked to provide past life case studies, a personal statement/biography, financial information, and references to determine eligibility.
All students must agree to the MNI Code of Ethics, and act in alignment with the values of the Michael Newton Institute as a student, an MNI member /LBL Facilitator, even as a former member. To protect the integrity of Michaels legacy and work, this includes a clause excluding all LBL trained Facilitators from teaching LBL to others (unless in an official training role for MNI)
5. Attend an LBL training course
With a high ratio of trainers to students, and extensive support from your LAB Caoch, each training event (16 days all together) offers students the opportunity to learn the “Newton Method” from a team of highly qualified and experienced MNI LBL trainers. Students will also discover new techniques and avenues of afterlife exploration developed and refined through MNI’s Research Team and our community of LBL practitioners. Students have the opportunity to facilitate and experience LBL sessions during their training and leave forever transformed and enriched from the experience. See information about upcoming training here.
6. Practice and submit LBL case studies
Once you are introduced to your LaB Coach they will work to develop your skills and spot any areas for improvement in a supportive and collabarative fashion. Theu will ask for cases along the way where they can help you to hone your skills and facilitation style. Towards the end of the program they will ask you to submit a final case that shows all the skills we seek. This will be evaluated by an independent LaB Coach, rather than the one you have worked with. Over the training period all the students’ progress is tracked collectively by the LaB Coach team who meet monthly to collaborate on how they can support the training cohort.
