Editorial Review

Psychiatry and metaphysics blend together in this fascinating book based on a true case history. Dr. Weiss, who was once firmly entrenched in a clinical approach to psychiatry, finds himself reluctantly drawn into past-life therapy when a hypnotized client suddenly reveals details of her previous lives. During one hypnosis session his client introduces the spirit guides who have been her soul therapists in between lives. This is when the story really takes off for Weiss, who discovers that these guides have specific messages about his dead son as well as Weiss's mission in life. No, we cannot verify the truth of this story using the limited scientific tools we have available. However, it is hard to dispute that this well-respected graduate of Columbia University and Yale Medical School has discovered a personal truth that has led him to be an enormously popular speaker, author, and leader in the field of past-life therapy.

Very Good Book...
Many Lives, Many Masters left me with an unquenchable thirst to continue reading on the subject of past-life regression therapy. It also left me with a sense of peace and a comfort to know that higher beings are available if we should have the courage to call on them. I am a believer, not because of this book, but because of significant personal experiences. This book assisted in the further confirmation of my believes even when these are not shared by others, which is ok. It just means that they will learn when their time is right, no more, no less...

The one that changed my life
It's hard to maintain an appropriate scientific skepticism when you find a book that has no epidemiological basis but manages to answer all of your most vexing life questions. This is the book that just "clicked" with me.
Brings great peace of mind.
This book does more than any other book I have read to ensure peace of mind for those contemplating their own death or the death of a loved one. It gives detailed histories of soul progress from the time of death up to the choice of the next birth. The detail is convincing, and it fits with my extensive study of metaphysical literature on spiritual development and reincarnation. The stories carry more credibility because they come from a skeptical hypnotherapist who got into regression therapy to help people with behavior problems, and developed techniques for regressing the client to the cause of the problem. At first he was getting mainly childhood events, then he got a case involving a past life. In following his own curiosity, he learned to take clients through their death scene and into the various phases of life between lives. Thus far I have bought about 8 copies to share with friends, and have told many more about it. Don't miss it!

I'd give it ten stars if I could

It really does point to the end of reincarnation
"The End of Reincarnation" by Gary Renard delivers what the title promises. Of course you have to do the work to make it happen, the forgiveness work, that is. But this isn't the old fashioned idea of forgiveness. It's more in harmony with the new physics than the old, Newtonian physics, which was based on separation. This new kind of forgiveness is based on oneness and wholeness, like quantum physics. I was very impressed by Renard's wide range of spiritual knowledge, his sense of humor, and his explanations of the modern spiritual guide, "A Course in Miracles." He goes into even more detail in his 7 hour set from Sounds True called, "Secrets of the Immortal," but "The End of Reincarnation" is a great introduction to a real method to break the cycle of birth and death, once and for all. ...

ADVANCED HYPNOTHERAPY & SPIRITUAL REGRESSION
This is the second in a three book series by the renowned Master Hypnotherapist
Destiny of Souls by Michael Newton
This book is a sequel to Journey of Souls , also by Michael Newton. I found both books fascinating reading, answering many questions I hadn't found covered in other books about past-life regression and life after death. I highly recommend these books for anyone interested in this topic.

Awesome book! Very Interesting!
I haven't read the Journey of Souls yet.I've purchased it and it'll arrive in the mail pretty soon.After reading Sylvia Brownes book "The Other Side", I had many questions about the validity of these information.Michael Newton actually answers these questions, but he obtains it not from his "so-called" guide, but from real people under hypnosis.From cases to cases, he has written what he believes the other side is like, the structure of the place, what we will go through after we die and what we do between lives.It's a fascinating book to read. ...

Spook Is Superb Science
If Woody Allen were to write a science book, this would be it.Mary Roach utilizes her enormous wit to make her sometimes highly technical investigations fascinating and fun.She admits to being a skeptic, but suspends disbelief as she investigates the supernatural world.She is enormously fair.She readily admits that the skeptics may be right "but they are no fun to go to the graveyard with."So she maintains that spirit of wonder as she exacts the high standard of proof that science demands.If you are looking for validation that ghosts, without a doubt, are watching you sleep, she will not provide that certainty.But she will tell you about the sometimes ingenius ways that spiritualists and paranormal specialists are going about trying to prove it.So her book is somewhat like Lewis Thomas' NOTES OF A BIOLOGY WATCHER in that you get a layman's education on how the soul has been searched for.You get Woody Allen's wit and Carl Sagan's concern for unbiased evidence as you travel through this fascinating culture of afterlife specialists who just may, in the end, be privy to dimensions the rest of us cannot see.

Boring - Avoid this Book!
I love ghost stories and stories of the 'beyond' and all that those categories entail.That said, I hate this book.Mary Roach has the authorial voice of a 12 year old.I read the first chapter thinking, 'wow, this book might as well have been edited by a middle school yearbook writer.'There are a plethora of books on the market dealing with this subject matter.Pick any of them.Leave Mary Roach on the bookshelf.

A Message of Comfort and Hope
This is a fascinating story about two people who went to Dr. Weiss for past-life regression therapy. There are many levels of soulmates, and Elizabeth and Pedro were of the deeper kind. They had spent many lifetimes together, sharing a great love, but in this lifetime they were strangers. Chapter by chapter we see the story of these two souls, aching to find each other, coming closer and closer, like two streams converging into a mighty river. Finally, Dr. Weiss sees the connection between them, but what is his duty as their therapist? Is it his place to play matchmaker, or should he leave it up to the fates to decide?
Only a Soulmate sees the REAL you
When a soulmate arrives they can see the real you. The you beyond the mask and the scripts and the roles you play. Even if you have spent a lifetime creating a persona behind job titles, social connections, money, life experiences, etc ... they will see through it all in an instant. You cannot run and you cannot hide no matter how hard you try. You also cannot forget them even if you were to run to another place in the world and get really caught up in other things. Soul connections, especially cultivated over lifetimes, are beyond time and space or any lengths humans go to deny what is the truth. Dr. Weiss eloquently explains here that you are not crazy ... you are simply connected to a soul mate. A fascinating book on the nature of soul love and why its ok to never forget that person despite it all. One of my friends in San Francisco who is both a medical professional and an alternative medicine practitioner mentioned this book to me. It certainly shed a unique notion on some of my own life experiences. Some people are easier to forget even if you cared. Why? They may have been a "contract or project" mate instead of a soul mate. A contract mate is one who is in your life to push you forward and live out a growth lesson with. So when its complete (the assignment) it only takes a bit of time to be back to your usual self. A soul mate is far more than that ... they are the people who often bring you back to your essence... the real you that you may have run from in pain as a youth. It's like ugly duckling plain Jane who was the social outcast in a small town and found herself on top of the world in an international city being the toast of the town, the Queen of the scene, and talked about. Despite a persona of urban hip sophisticate success story with a personality to boot ... along comes the boy next door who sees the real her, the girl who liked poetry and arts and crafts festivals. It's startling and it can be scary. Hence, why they can see you in a way others can't. After pretending for years to be a certain type of person socially ... I met a soul mate ... and no matter what I did... he cut right through it and called me on it time and time again. It was frustrating but inevitably enlightening.

Your Passport To The Next Life
What an absolute miracle we have these texts today, some four millennia after many of them were first conceived of in an ancient desert land! The story of the re-discovery in the nineteenth-century, after the last known copies were believed destroyed in Alexandria, is the recounting of an archeological miracle, and the fact that they survived the circumstances of their discovery at all amid corruption and mistrust in the black markets of Cairo is even more amazing.
A rich and interesting resource on this version of "The Book of the Dead" with fabulous reproductions of the papyri
This is book is a wonderful piece to just look at.The plates of the papyri are gorgeous and are able to hold one in an almost trancelike state just looking into them.However, the texts of the papyri are not easily understood.So, this book is also amazingly helpful by the way it is put together for those of us who are non-specialists.

Looking back, John Edward now sees the early signs that he was destined to become an acclaimed psychic and medium. "There were times when I knew things I shouldn't have known," he writes. "Simple things like who was coming over, or who was on the phone." He knew events in family history that no one had told him about. He was inexplicably fascinated with television characters that possessed supernatural powers. He'd see auras around schoolteachers and hear voices that whispered true information in his mind. Eventually his gifts expanded into hearing the names of spirits "who'd gone to the other side." Finally, as a teenager Edward began to claim rather than question his psychic abilities and committed his life work to pursuing and learning about his gifts. Now that he has become a renowned medium (appearing on numerous talk shows, including Read more

Dead Head
Since most people cannot hear the conversations he has with the dead... it would be in his head (little joke). I like this guy, Mr. Edward has created other learning materials that I have used and learned from. He knows what he is talking about and demystifies the spiritual realm quite a bit. It is not over the top and easy to understand.
One Last Time by John Edward
Really good book.There is no doubt John Edward has physic abilities and it was touching to hear of the experiences of some of his clients.

I See Dead People...and Profit from the Living...
A perusal of this book reminds me of a UK television show on which James "The Amazing" Randi, pretending to be a "medium," brilliantly and devastingly showed just how easy it is to be fooled by those who claim to talk to our dead relatives for us.It seems that the need to believe, the craving to hang on and not let go, is powerful enough to bypass logic and rational thinking in our poor benighted species.I would urge anyone considering laying out their hard-earned money to this or other "mediums" to do a little research into the "cold reading" trick and how it works.There are many ways to deal with grief and loss that do not involve superstition, credulity or hefty amounts of cash. ...

Loved it!
I read this book in one night.It was an easy read and I like SB's writing style.She gives examples throughout the book of clients who were healed of their medical and/or psychological traumas that doctors and psychiatrists could neither diagnose nor cure.Many of SB's clients were referred to her by doctors and psychiatrists after modern medicine failed to help their patients through tests, exams, psychiatric evaluation, etc.One neurologist that SB knows, asked her to see if she could see any correlation between birthmarks and past life experiences.As it turns out, there is a connection between the two and SB documents it in a study of approx. 20 patients.There are other such studies that are documented in the book.I highly recommend reading this book if you are interested in past lives and healing! ...

Excellent read for therapists and non-therapists alike!
This is yet another excellent read by Dr. Michael Newton on past life and life between life regression.It is more a technical/reference manual for his particular form of hypnotherapy and how/why he developed the format he uses today.As I'm currently preparing to get my hypnotherapy certification I found his book extraordinarily useful and look forward to applying his techniques in my own practice.
As Always a Treat for the Soul
Although this book is really intended for professionals, it was still wonderful to have another Newton book to devour.I wouldn't recommend anyone to purchase this book before they've read "Journey of Souls" and "Destiny of Souls" or you won't have a clue what he's talking about.
A roadmap for healing
This book is a wonderful follow up to Michael Newton's other work and is a must read for any hypnotherapist currently working in the past life regression field. It offers clear guidelines and supports these with case studies that are filled with relevant detail. As a hypnotherapist myself this has filled me with renewed passion and dedication to explore this field further. As we work to raise our consciousness, to heal, to fill our lives with love and light, books like this one are roadmaps of insight along our way. ... Read more

Mirrors of Time: Using Regression for Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Healing
Good for the beginers on Spiritual Path...

Not quite getting there
Don't like it as much as the Meditation CD.Haven't felt any regression while listening to this.Does help me relax, though.

Disappointing
I have read several of Dr. Weiss' books, which I found highly enlightening and inspiring.However, this CD was not nearly on the same level.

Profoundly moving book about what it means to live life
This is a profoundly moving book by a sensitive and caring author that will definitely bring tears to your eyes. It's a beautifully written book that provides true stories of love, compassion, and enduring love through living and dying; an inspiring read not to be missed!

I really liked this book and wanted more...
The short chapters make this an easy book to pick up and read. It was also a quick read.It is a book I will return to again and again.I have met Dr. Janis Amatuzio and she is a captivating speaker.The subject matter was very interesting and also personally comforting.The only reason I did not give it 5 stars, is that I wish it was longer.

Excellent
This book is very objective, taking consideration of other peoples views, and disects near death experiences. It also focuses on various studies conducted on the subject of death. I'd highly recommend it.

I was expecting more, do I have to have an NDE?
The Light Beyond is a wonderful book, but so many people just focus on their own lessons they learned, which makes for an interesting story, but I am always looking for more - how does this apply to me? Do I have to have an NDE myself? I liked Tiffany Snow's book better, just one chapter about her greatNDE, but the rest of it shows how anyone can open up, if they learn how. I'm not saying The Light Beyond is a bad book, really, but I guess I was just expecting more.

Good Book
I like this book - a great selection of information and experiences. This guy has been in the front lines for a long time. Other books worth the read - Tiffany Snow, and Betty Eadie. And Nathan Judd's new book, if you can find it. I'm a doctor. NDEs are real! ... Read more

Essential
A life-changing (and life-saving) book. I read it and tried it - and it worked. I've been using it ever since, as have friends. It should be part of every educational syllabus.

Best Yet On the Subject
I am a hypnotherapist and have read many books on the subject of past life therapy and I think this is the best yet.Woolger presents a more realistic account of past life therapy than some of the other quick fix books that are out there.Unlike others I've read, he doesn't claim that simply recalling a past life cures you of your ills.Instead, he conveys his experience as a therapist, that regression therapy is often a long and challenging process, though one with rich rewards.One thing I especially like about his techniques is his emphasis on incorperating the body into the regression, as that is where much of the trauma is held.While some therapists recommend taking an "observer" position while reliving a trauma, he encourages his clients to reexperience it as much as possible and considers emotional and physical catharsis as keys to healing.It is an enlightening and inspiring book.

The REAL thing!!
After reading what is poular today as well as past writers (not naming names) I find that Dr Woolgers work is the most comprehensive approach to Past Life Therapy available. While many using hypnosis place an emphasis on recovering the memory, Dr Woolger's expereince is that the memory is the least difficult part of regression process, guiding the traumatic expereince and wound to the soul to resolution and healing is the cornerstone of his work. This is the piece, personally that I see lacking in other approaches. His work is founded in sound psychological AND spiritual principles and the ability to synthesize this and make it practical and accessable is clear in this book. After reading this book I had the ability to do some training with him personally and would recommend any serious student of this kind of work to try to do the same. At the very least, refer to this book as both pioneering and a classic in the field. ... Read more

Good place to start.
Hypnosis for Beginners was a good place to start off with learning hypnotism.Hewitt explains a little bit about the history, and what is going on in the brain when hypnosis is induced.This book is directed more towards clinical/therapy types of hypnosis, however I added my own words to make it into an entertaining night with my friends.Hewitt's induction methods are good, but it is a lot of page turning to follow his lead.Hewitt has several scripts for specific therapy, and detailed instructions on self-hypnosis, also.Overall this is a good book if you want to learn to how induce hypnosis, but it does take a little practice and creativity so your "victim" is thinking about relaxing, and not how inexperienced you are.

Off the wall!
Not grounded in reality! Hard to believe and understand. This isn't modern day Hypnosis as we know it, but some kind of 'New Age' off thr wall brand!

There should be a ZERO start rating!
This book is awful! What else can I say?

FORTY YEARS OF UNIVERSITY RESEARCH ARE BEHIND THIS BOOK
This book takes you methodically through individual cases of early childhood memories of past lives.These cases are thoroughly and professionally documented, researched and objectively judged as plausible or not...all in a scientific manner.More compelling proof that reincarnation exists.

great book
I already think reincarnation in some form is a given, so the parts of the book that ponder other explanations for the research reported in this book didn't interest me that much, but I loved reading the stories and really loved the correlations he conducted.I would have liked more of those - I'm sure that's something that will come in the future.Most important, I think this book demonstrates the positive balance between the scientific model and the psycho-spiritual approach.Neither one approach throwing out the other, but using the best of each to enhance the other.Easy to read and extremely interesting!

unanswered questions
I have had so nany unanswered questions about re-incarnation, I love the way this book draws on the scientific, and common sense,Then allows you to just draw your own conclusions.The many years of research put together stories that are riveting, It helps take away the taboo in our western world of believing in re-incarnation. At the same time, in no way does the author try to force oppinions on you.It is strictly from a scientific view. ... Read more
