The new vibrations coming into the planet are amplifying both our physical body and our emotions. So, if we have happiness or joy in our life this is amplified. If we are carrying unresolved emotional wounds from the past such as anger, fear, powerfulness, guilt or shame these too will be amplified. If they keep repeating themselves this may be may be a life lesson that needs to be resolved but until then the unwanted emotional energy can be cleared. Also unwanted thoughts that may have absorbed for the consciousness of humanity through social or main stream media and also some spirit attachments.

This is an easy technique that anyone can do using a pendulum and is based on the work of Christine McBride in the book Transforming the Eternal Soul. No special pendulum skill is needed.

If you don't have a pendulum you need to purchase one from the internet or from a new age shop. A clear crystal pendulum is needed and allow yourself to be intuitively drawn to the one to buy.
The pendulum needs to be energetically cleaned before use because the crystal can pick up various unwanted energies. A simple way is to hold it in your hand and make the intent for energy from "Source" to energetically clean the crystal in your hand. Alternatively, you can hold the pendulum crystal under water from a tap for a minute while making the intent for the water to clean the pendulum.
Hold the pendulum and take a moment to connect with it as if reconnecting with an old friend who is ready, able and willing to help you. Ask to connect the pendulum to 'Source'.
For clearing make your intention clear such as "My intention is to loosen up, transmute and release whatever is causing the blockage or imbalance in ____ (the specified chakra), which may be corrected quickly and safely at this time."

There are seven energy chakras :

crown chakra - top of the head

third eye chakra - between your eyes

throat chakra - throat

heart chakra - heart

solar plexus - just above the belly button

sacral chakra - below the belly button

base chakra - bottom of the body

Hold the pendulum approximately two inches above each chakra and allow it to move freely. When it becomes still the work is complete.
If the pendulum does not remain on a chakra then a more focused and powerful process is to work with each of the energy layers of the chakra.

 There are four energy levels;

etheric layer - close to the body

mental layer - a few inches from the body

emotional layer - several inches from the body

spiritual layer - arms length from the body

Repeat step 4 and 5 for each layer.

Such as "My intention is to loosen up, transmute and release whatever is causing the blockage or imbalance in ____ (the specified chakra), on the ____ (specified level), which may be corrected quickly and safely at this time." 

You can also adjust the height at which you are holding the pendulum above the chakra so that it is in the specified level of the aura. Note that the distances from the body are very approximate.

This method should clear low vibrational thought-forms, discarnate entities and other energetic attachments such as your own stuck and contracted emotional energy. It is a natural and automatic process that unfolds as a consequence of the strong flow of energy created by the moving crystal pendulum. This rapidly flowing, high-vibrational energy may dislodge discarnate entities that are then naturally drawn to that dimension of light that resonates with their level of development. Alternatively, with regard to congested emotional energy and low vibrational thought-forms, the light energy raises their level of vibration higher and higher until they are transformed.

Between Lives - Past-Life Regression, Near-Death Experiences, and the Evolution of Consciousness .

Terminal lucidity happens when people who are in a coma or are experiencing Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other conditions where the brain is not working normally become completely lucid for hours or days just before they die. They have a full memory and know who they are talking to and can reminisce on past experiences. It has been reported in the medical literature over the past 250 years but has received little attention.

An example was reported by Michael Nahm a German biologist and parapsychologist in Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics and the second in the National Library of Medicine.

"An elderly woman who suffered from the Alzheimer’s disease for 15 years and was cared for by her daughter. The woman was unresponsive for years and showed no sign of recognizing her daughter or anybody else. However, a few minutes before she died, she started a normal conversation with her daughter, an experience for which the daughter was unprepared and which left her utterly confused."

"Anna Katharina Ehmer, was a 26-year-old woman with severe mental disabilities who lived in an institution for people with mental disorders, and who had allegedly never spoken a single word during her life. Yet, she was reported to have sung dying songs for a half hour before she died. The case was reported by the head of this institution and by its chief physician."

British neuropsychiatrist Peter Fenwick reported in the Journal of Palliative Care

"A woman in a nursing home with severe spinal fusion and was able to only look down to the floor for several years noticed one day with surprise that she was able to look out of her room window for the first time – and died soon after."

As amazing as these experiences are animals have appeared to show terminal lucidity too. A number of cases were collected by Rupert Sheldrake and colleagues published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration. One was about a cat and the other about a dog.

"My cat Cleo was dying, and I was sitting with her. She was nearly comatose, not moving, her eyes glazed over unseeing. Her legs were very cold. This state had been progressing upon her for days, and because of the coldness of her legs, I felt she might be very close. But I was just sitting there, mostly, not even really petting her. Suddenly she woke up. She put her paw upon my hand and gazed into my eyes with intensity. She was saying goodbye to me. That was perfectly clear. Within an hour, she had passed."      

"My pet was a six-year-old Chihuahua that developed a brain tumour. He was basically out of it, did not respond to my wife or me, and was having occasional convulsions. The night before, he was to be put down at the vet for a brief time, for about 30 minutes he was completely normal. He jumped up in my lap, wanted to play like everything was normal, then went to my wife and did the same thing. All of this happened in about a 30-minute time frame, and then he went back into “out of it and convulsing.” We told the vet about this, and he said he had never heard of this before and that the dog would not recover. Anyway, that did happen, and my wife and I believe he was saying goodbye."        

Vincent and Margret Gaddis in the book The Strange World of Animals and Pets reported a similar case.

"During the prime of its days, tomcat Pussy was taught by the couple who kept him to hold out a paw to shake hands. As Pussy grew older, he suffered from severe chronic dysentery and had to be put down. When the vet arrived, the cat dragged himself out of his basket, walked straight to its sorrowful keepers, and held out his paw to each of them in turn. He then crept back into his basket, buried his head in his paws, and awaited his fate."        

This seems to indicate similarities between the consciousness of humans and animals that consciousness exists outside the body and that the brain acts as a transmitter. But how would this explain the woman with spinal fusion able to move her head just before dying.       

A clue may come from our own observations during between lives regressions. This involves very deep hypnosis so the body is totally immobile and the client is guided through a past life death and into the soul memories of their consciousness. Speech often has a long delay in response to navigation questions. Yet at a point when the regression reaches a particular part of their soul memories the encounter often causes the clients arms to move in communicating information and to talk quickly. But this is not the person coming out of deep hypnosis because when the regression finishes it may take up to ten minutes for them to regain physical movement and their blood flow to increase following the deep trace. It seems that the high vibration of the client's soul consciousness can raise the vibrations of their physical body and transform it.

Could it be that a very high vibrational part of soul consciousness of those close to death provides the energy and drive for terminal lucidity? We have also found in our retreats when the consciousness of the participants is raised with very high vibrational energy for a week the most remarkable life changing events can happen including being more intuitive, heart-centred, and developing a deep inner knowing that can become part of everyday life.

Quantum physics describes the universe as nothing more than vibrating energy. And the human body and our emotions are just vibrating energy too, a little like water can be in the form or ice or water vapour. And around our body is an energy field called the aura that can be impacted by external energies. This can be fear or shame that is projected by social and mainstream media about important topics that are happening around the world such as wars, financial stability and health issues. Or hatred that projected between the divisions of different groups, such as political ones or those with different ideological views. 

One way of reducing this energy is to stop it. Perhaps an energy detox for two weeks can be planned by stopping all social and main feeds and instead walking in nature or doing hobbies that require being in the moment, such as painting, gardening or similar. And then starting very carefully allowing information into your energy field by focusing on the energy vibration of the information and how it makes you feel rather than the content and perhaps finding new sources of information with a different energy.  

One of the things you will notice when you walk in nature is just how peaceful it is and how uplifted you feel doing it. This is because you are in the pure consciousness of trees and countryside. This is in sharp contrast to the energy you will notice when in cities that are busy with people, or in a crowd or traveling on public transport or in busy offices. This because you are surrounded by the consciousness of others who have their own life issues lowering the vibrations of their consciousness. And this is what you fill feel. 

Those that practice energy protection will be less impacted but the pure clean energy of nature can be recreated for the home or workplace with the help of crystals. They have the property to act as a receiver and transmitter of vibrational energy if correctly selected and energised.  

You will need four small quartz clear crystal and a larger clear quartz crystal. They can be purchased on the internet or from any new age shop.  

 First, the crystals will need to be energetically cleared. A simple way is under running water for a few minutes after making the intent for the water to clean the crystals. One way to word it is 'With higher permission, I would like the water to energetically clear these crystals'.
Then hold the larger crystal in your hand and charge it to either the sun or moon with intent. 'With higher permission,I would like to charge this crystal with the energy of the sun' (or moon, whichever is in your highest good). 
 Then hold the smaller and larger crystals together in one hand to energetically connected them. 'With higher permission I would like to be energetically connect these crystals together'.
 Then place the larger crystal in the centre of the room or house or your work place, and place the other 4 crystals around the edge of the room or house. They will be permanently energetically connected and will create an energy area enclosed by the perimeter crystals. No further work is needed after this.  

But just raising the energy around us is just a part of the change needed for a more positive life. The other part is to look within and change our life style, emotions and thoughts to allow us to fully live in a more fulfilling way and move towards a New Earth and New Consciousness.

Dr. David Hawkins in his book Power vs Force – The Hidden Determinants of Human Behaviour conducted a study where he measured the energy fields of consciousness with seventeen different emotions. The three emotions that recorded the lowest numbers were shame, guilt and despair. Surprising fear was the fifth lowest. The emotions that recorded the highest numbers were enlightenment, peace, joy and love.

So threatening negotiation stances, shaming ideologies and guilt-ridden narratives have a big effect in lowing our vibration and controlling us to conform into someone else's agenda. 

As humans we are social creatures. So, to fit into social constructs we tend to create social standards for ourselves and for society. We build our identity around these standards. Then we are either judged or tend to judge others based on those social standards. Most will hold on tightly to these standards because when those standards threatened our standing in society (or reputation), way of life, as well as our identity is threatened. These days, even our income can be threatened.

To break away we may face harsh judgements by members of our family, social group and close-knit society in general. it may feel we will lose everything – our reputation, money, home and friends. 

It takes absolute courage for a person to let go of everything that they are used to and has made them comfortable. It takes true empowerment to stand up against the pressures of societies’ threats, judgements and punishments and follow one’s heart.  

However, the rewards in doing this are immeasurable. New people will quickly come into our life. They will her accepted you for who you are without prejudice or judgement from their own standards. This is a path to enlightenment and living in our authentic essence, as opposed to trying into the mould and standards that others impose on us. It leads to peace with the new group of people we are happy spending time with who mostly share our values and beliefs.

To reach something new, first there is a break-down.

I had a client who had ten years of her self-worth being meticulously stripped from her by a husband through emotional and mental abuse for him to exert complete control over her. She took the brave step of moving out and filing for divorce. Before she made the decision, she was very nervous and did not know what to expect. She was scared of the unknown yet was not happy with the known. Also, the cultural views of her extended family was to stay in the relationship. Yet she found the inner strength, faced the situation, and followed her heart. After doing this she said, “I feel peace. I can never go back to him.” 

The divorce was proving to be stressful, but she persevered with it. This is part of the break down too. Every break down is painful, stressful, frightening and one doubts oneself as familiar, comforting structures crash around. It takes courage and resilience to hold onto a new vision and proceed through the breakdown. The guiding light that we can all hold onto in a situation like this is hope. Where there is peace, joy, calm, and if one perseveres illumination.

During the breakdown process, we get to see what it is we resonate with. We get to see what makes our hearts expand and what makes our heart contract. This could be situations, relationships, people, ideologies, belief systems and social conditioning. We then take a little time to grieve over the letting go of what does not resonate, and move towards what does resonance with us.

So, we need to hold our resonance and move towards the consciousness we love without faltering and not give into threats, fear, shaming or guilt that comes with following our hearts.

From both a global and personal perspective we are going through this breakdown now. So, now is the time for us to decide what consciousness we want to be in? Do we wish to continue the old narrative and hang on to the old belief systems embracing a life style of guilt, shame, despair and fear? Or do we wish to move forward towards a consciousness of illumination, enlightenment, peace, joy, and love?

It is not about what is right or wrong. It is a soul choice.

If we decide to move to the new, we have to hold onto that vision, accept there will be a shaking period until there is a breakthrough and we can move into the New Consciousness.

We are all in this together.

The loss of a loved one has always been a time of grief for those left behind. When death has been gradual, and those around know that death approaches, it allows the conscious mind a period of adjustment that often helps reduce the intensity of the grieving period. This article will look at what happens to the soul of the departed person from a spiritual perspective.

More and more people are aware of past life regression. When clients are taken to a deeper level of hypnosis what appears to be soul memories between lives come to conscious awareness. Called Life Between Lives regression, and is based on the pioneering work of the psychologist Joel Whitton, Dr. Michael Newton and contributions I have made. Over 10,000 ordinary people from many cultures around the world have experienced similar events in the afterlife through life between lives regressions, including the moment of death and the time right after, a past life review, meeting wise spirits of light, and planning the next life.

“The soul has to have physicality in order to experience emotions and deepen its wisdom”

To really understand a spiritual perspective, we have to think of ourselves as energy beings. In the spirit realms the soul is in a place of unconditional love and doesn’t have the opportunity to experience anything different. Having physicality gives it an opportunity to experience emotions and deepen its wisdom. A metaphor can be used to explain what happens: It is as if the incarnating soul is one of the old fashioned divers with a brass helmet and an air pipe connecting to the mother ship. The diver is lowered into a spot on the seabed to explore and although the dive is pre-planned, the diver has free will in exploring the seabed. The air pipe is like our intuition connecting our earthly presence with our higher self. When the experience is finished the diver returns and brings back the knowledge and experiences to the mother ship. So at some point after the past life the incarnating soul energy re-joins its higher self and brings back the learning from the life.

“Sometimes departing souls are drawn to the grief of loved ones and even try and communicate to them”

Immediately after a past life death most clients report floating out of their physical body and usually express a sudden sense of lightness and freedom, and sometimes the death scene is observed for a while with an air of detachment. 

A life between lives excerpt to illustrate this is from a client I’ll call Ben Cook who found himself in a past life of a First World War British soldier dressed in kaki and waiting in a trench. It was a cold damp morning and he could hear gunfire and bombs going off all around him.  At exactly 7 o’clock a voice shouted, ‘fix bayonets’. He could see grim faces around him as he found himself climbing up a ladder out of the trench and advancing. Suddenly he felt a pain in the chest (The therapists questions are in italics):

I feel as though I’m lifting.

Are you able to look down and see the body?

God, it’s in a mess. 

Just describe what you can see.

It’s just lying in the mud, where it was hit.

Are there any other bodies around you?

Oh yes. Oh yes. Just a massacre. 

Do you feel drawn to stay or do you move on?

Oh, I can’t move on yet. I’m just taking in all this carnage. It’s terrible. What purpose? The pain’s stopped though. Thank goodness. No pain. No pain! 

What other things are happening?

Just stillness and quiet, and it’s a pleasant feeling really. I can see little dots of light.

Do you move towards these lights?

A little bit, and I know I can’t stop here. I just want to watch what they do with the body. It’s put on a stretcher. Somebody’s fiddling around with it and they take it away. There is a big trench, and they are throwing us all in. Half a dozen of us, and they just bury us. It’s the end, isn’t it? That’s it.

Are you able to leave now?

Um … I just see little lights in the distance.

What’s happening to you now?

I’m just getting energised. It’s like someone plugging me into the electricity. Plugging me into some energy. It’s a nice feeling and I don’t want to leave … A rest they call it, but this can’t be rest. It’s lovely!

Have they taken away any energy?

It’s like some dirty energy’s gone. I feel lovely now. 

The purpose of Ben’s healing was to remove the negative emotions from his traumatic death so his soul energy can return to its normal vibration. Sometimes departing souls are drawn to the grief of loved ones and even try and communicate to them. This is why it’s helpful for those left behind to encourage the departing soul to leave so they can receive healing and the release of any dense emotional energy they may be carrying. 

Prior to incarnation, the soul itself has determined the many different issues that it wishes to experience. Some of these selected experiences may prove so traumatic to the physical body that they cause energetic blockages within it. Until they are released that energy block is like a magnet. For example the issues associated with an energy block that says, ‘I am unworthy’ and not resolved in one lifetime will go though into the next. Any experience that triggers, ‘I am unworthy’, builds on the original energy block until it gets bigger and bigger. It is like a magnet, attracting all of the, ‘I am unworthy’ sensations, until its been released. Sometimes the energy block becomes too much for the physical form to hold and the person gives up on life.      

“Suicide is apparently one of the worst situations we can face in the spirit realms yet our spirit guide is still loving and caring and anxious to help, but the issues will have to be faced again”

The way suicide is viewed from the spiritual world comes from a life between lives transcript of a client I’ll call Liam Thompson. He reports immediately on leaving his body after his suicide that he meets his spirit guide who is, ‘shaking his head’. His concern seems even more justified when he realises that this is part of a repeating pattern that has continued into his current life (The therapists questions are in italics):

I need to go and discuss what’s happened. 

Do you know who you’re going to meet?

My spirit guide. He’s standing with his arms crossed, shaking his head. I’m like the little pupil and he’s the teacher. He’s got a long beard and a long white gown. He’s full of love and warmth, but at the same time he’s strict. He’s been my guide for a number of lives now.

Does he talk to you telepathically?

Yes. Well, it’s more than telepathy, it’s feelings as well, it’s everything. I can see inside his mind and he can see inside mine, except he can keep certain things from me. I’m still learning how to do that.

Tell me what happens.

He’s asking me why I always take the easy way out. I have a problem with facing problems.

What do you say?

I’m sick of doing these really hard lives.

Is he giving you any advice?

He tells me I need to stop thinking about things so much. I need to just learn to live, instead of being so introverted. I need to experience the world around me, rather than just experiencing the world within me. I’m my own worst enemy. Whatever I feel inside me, I project onto the world around. Most situations aren’t as bad as they seem, but I seem to make them harder.

Does your guide say anything else to you at this point?

He knows I need to have a rest for a bit…. and he’s projecting love as well.

This account is hardly a serious judgment from on high. Despite his frankness, the spirit guide is still loving and caring and also anxious to help. Planning the next life requires great care to avoid an unhelpful pattern of suicides. One of the strategies involves planning the next life to have a loving family and be close to nature so that the wonderful life experience teaches the positive value of life. The issues will have to be faced again, but can involve a number of lives that grow in difficulty. Sometimes a spirit guide may reincarnate in close proximity as a relative or close friend to provide support. One client discovered during her life between lives regression that the spiritual information she received from the regression had been pre-planned. It was to give her a spiritual perspective following the death of her husband and to help break a pattern of two previous suicides following the loss of loved one. 

Life between lives soul memory testimony is consistent from thousands of people. The strength lies in that it comes from ordinary men and women from all the cultures of the world. It lets us know that each life has a purpose and death rather than be something to be feared it is simply a step on a journey of deepening our wisdom. 

Life between lives is explored in more depth in Exploring the Eternal Soul by Andy and in our new book Between Lives.

Earth is being bombarded by very high vibrations and is shifting its consciousness. And because people’s consciousness is part of the Earth, we need to shift to be in resonance.

A lot of things are being brought to the surface that had been previously hidden. They are being brought to the forefront of our awareness so that we can see exactly what’s been happening and can make our own decision whether we want to continue to stay in the old consciousness or move to the new.

We can see the evidence around us. From the growing corruption of politicians, the greed of global multinationals and the continuous creation of conflicts for the benefit of the military arms producers.

In the cities mass shooting and violence are increasing. The old consciousness is coming to an end and those that wish to hold onto to it will find it just gets harder, and harder.

What will Living in the New Consciousness be Like

It is about people understanding that we are divine and that we can actually do quite a lot with the Earth and with the energies of the Earth that we haven’t been able to tap into for such a long time.

It is quite hard to say what every body's life is going to be like in the New Consciousness because we are still thinking from the perspective of the old one. It’s almost like a baby being born, you have to be born first before you start to grow and develop.

We’ve been conditioned by the old consciousness, in our education, what friends say, the jobs we have had and what the media says. Part of the shift is letting go of all of this which is really hard to do, like giving birth. It can be a little painful but once the birth is finished, we can start to grow and nourish.

Perhaps a few examples from our Pioneering New Consciousness training workshops will help because we have access to the energies of the New Consciousness and it will give you an idea of how things can be different. In the workshop we play with the New Consciousness energies and embrace them.

Some students may use energies for healing diseases or illness energetically, which are all fundamentally energy problems. If you raise the vibration of the area affected in the right way it speeds up the body’s ability to heal naturally.

A dramatic example of this was during one of the workshops with a student who had a prostate problem. For a number of years whenever he went to the toilet, he had incredible pain passing water. There was a point in the workshop when students worked in pairs using the New Consciousness energies to resolve a physical problem. He asked his colleague to work on his prostate and half an hour later he went to the toilet and was pain free. The session took 2-3 minutes and was a remarkable demonstration how powerful these energies are.

One student from a different country was single when she came to the workshop. Because she was in the high vibration in the workshop everything within her shifted. Afterwards she went off on a weekend retreat, fell in love with a soul mate, got married and now has a family. She credits the shift of her energies from the New Consciousness for this big change in her life. 

Another example of using the New Conscious energies is a student who is also an artist and is now putting energies into an artwork. Each picture for a particular client with the right energy for them so when they look at the picture, they feel the energy.

Another student manufactures leather notebooks and is doing a similar thing with them. Authors have put the energy into the words of the books as they write to reach people that way. A singer can use singing as a way of passing the high vibrations in songs. People have their own unique skills and different ways of using these energies.

Working with the New Consciousness is different than Reiki when the sender is a passive recipient of the Reiki energies that are coming through them to the client. With New Consciousness energies we are the ones who find out what the person needs intuitively and then use the appropriate energy to help them. We are the active ones and this is again part of moving into the New Consciousness.

It’s also about embracing what’s real and breaking away from the illusions of the old consciousness. For example, with the way we consume things maybe we do not need latest fashion as much as we think. It’s focusing on the things that are real.

 Our ego is our natural sense of self that places us in the centre of our own universe. Blindly following our ego is an easy trap to fall into. We become a prisoner, unaware of our self-induced captivity and how it separates us from harmonious relationships with others.

Recognising Ego

The first step to winning the battle against our ego is to recognizing ego driven thoughts and actions that we are often unaware of. It can be brought to our attention by feedback from those that have our welfare at heart or life events.

Here are some signs that you have an ego problem:

You are a poor listener. You are slow to hear, and quick to speak.
You get defensive when someone gives you feedback. This can take the form of over rationalising a situation. The tendency is to “forget” evidence and information which does not support your thinking and to “remember” evidence and information which does.
You want others to do things for you, but you hesitate to do things for others.
You do not try to understand or empathize with people who disagree with you. When you argue, your goal isn’t to understand and connect with people. Your goal is to prove you are right.
You mistakenly think that your opinion is the same as it being true.
When in a disagreement with another person you like to have the last say.
You would rather hear things you agree with, rather than hear things that challenge you.
Your first instinct is to criticize; your last instinct is to encourage.
You see life through a narrow lens, and everything fits in it. You are blind to things outside this lens.

 Starting to Master Ego

Controlling our ego doesn’t mean weakness or meekness. It means being humble about our strengths and honest about our weaknesses. It means letting people know our vulnerabilities and recognizing we are not always right. It means respectfully considering the perspectives and interests of others. It means seeking feedback and using it to get better. It means serving and supporting others, not just yourself.

The fight against self-centred ego is not a trivial battle, but understanding our thoughts and actions that come from our ego and determination to change are two important steps. And once mastered be vigilant as it can try and creep back.

Traditional views are that the brain creates consciousness. But more information is emerging that challenge this view.

 In July 2007, a 44-year-old French man went to a hospital complaining of a mild weakness in his left leg. When doctors learned that the man had a spinal shunt removed when he was 14, they performed numerous scans of his head. What they discovered was a huge fluid-filled chamber occupying most of the space in his skull, leaving little more than a thin sheet of actual brain tissue. It was a case of hydrocephalus, literally—water on the brain. Dr. Lionel Feuillet of Hôpital de la Timone in Marseille was quoted as saying, “The images were most unusual ... the brain was virtually absent.” The patient was a married father of two children and worked as a civil servant apparently leading a normal life, despite having a cranium filled with spinal fluid and very little brain tissue.

 This was reported in Reuters Science News entitled, “Tiny brain no obstacle to French civil servant.” An analysis of more than 600 cases of children with hydrocephalus by John Lorber, a British neurologist, found that of the 60 cases where fluid took up 95 percent of the skull, around 30 had above average IQs. One college student with a 1 mm thick brain who had a 126 IQ, placing him in the top 5 percent of the higher end of the population. While initially disbelieved, Lorber’s observations have since been independently confirmed by clinicians in France and Brazil.

 These cases of people without brains challenge the conventional teachings that brain structure is the basis for generating consciousness. Another area of transplants is doing the same.

“When he hugged me I could feel my son,” recounted Jerry’s mother. “He was there.”

When Jerry was 16 months old, he tragically drowned. His heart was transplanted into Carter, a 7-month-old boy with congenital heart disease. Years later, when Jerry’s mother, a physician and self-proclaimed “natural born sceptic,” met Carter, she was struck by similarities to her son. “Carter is 6 years old,” she observed, “but he was talking Jerry’s baby talk and playing with my nose just like Jerry did.”

Carter’s mother also witnessed extraordinary behaviours in her son after the heart transplant. “I saw Carter go to her,” she reported, referring to Jerry’s mother. “He never does that. He is very, very shy, but he went to her just like he used to run to me when he was a baby. When he whispered ‘It’s okay, Mama,’ I broke down. He called her mother.”

Even more astonishing was Carter’s reaction to Jerry’s father. “When we went to church together, Carter had never met Jerry’s father,” she explained. “We came late, and Jerry’s dad was sitting with a group of people in the middle of the congregation. Carter let go of my hand and ran right to that man. He climbed on his lap, hugged him, and said ‘Daddy.’ We were flabbergasted. How could he have known him? Why did he call him dad?”

Paul Pearsall, a clinical neuropsychologist at the University of Hawaii, and Gary Schwartz and Linda Russek, from the departments of psychology and medicine at the University of Arizona, Tucson, first documented Jerry and Carter’s cases. Research in their study was based on more than 74 organ transplantation cases, including 23 heart transplants, brought to Pearsall’s attention over a 10 year span. He found that organ recipients sometimes adopt traits of the donors, including preferences, emotions, personality characteristics, memories, and even aspects of identity. Pearsall’s study design was thorough, incorporating interviews with the transplant recipients, their social circles, and close contacts of the donor

In 2020, due to Covid, I had a near death experience. Once the shock of the experience had worn off, and I had fully healed, I was intrigued by what had happened to me during my experience, and how similar it was with the early part of a Life Between Lives Regression I had experienced previously, and guided many clients through. I was also struck by how my Consciousness expanded during my Near Death Experience.  

I shared my thoughts with Andy Tomlinson, and so we collaborated together to see if my experience and observation was a one off, or if it was common between those who have the same experiences.  This led to a three year study of Consciousness using a multidisciplinary approach to determine whether Consciousness exists outside the physical body. What happens with Consciousness when not in a physical body?  

We then wanted to explore how Consciousness evolves, especially now as we birthing the New Earth. How can we expand our own consciousness while in our physical bodies as we move into the future without going through something as traumatic as a Near Death Experience? So we’ve developed a simple and practical guide to help those who wish to expand their consciousness as we birth the New Consciousness.  

We compiled all our findings into a book that was picked up and published by Sacred Planet Books, an imprint of Inner Traditions. Today, we are so excited to present to you Between Lives – Past Lives Regression, Near Death Experiences and the Evolution of Consciousness, which is officially released today : 

While neuroscience reveals much about the brain, it has not determined the precise relationship between the brain and consciousness. The authors probe the depths of this relationship while offering practical ways to develop and raise one’s own consciousness.  

The authors examine evidence that supports the existence of consciousness independent of the brain, such as savant syndrome, lucid dreaming, telepathic communication in dreams, mediumship, and out-of-body experiences. The authors also consider case studies of near-death experiences—including Kumarasingham’s own—finding commonalities across such phenomena, particularly with between- lives memories gleaned through regression hypnosis. Readers will gain deeper awareness of the spiritual energy imbued within the physical world and learn how to transcend self-imposed limitations.  

This book gives exercises to clear stagnant emotional patterns, strengthen relationships, better manage energies, build effective boundaries, and transcend self-imposed limitations. Between Lives offers readers on the spiritual path a means to better understand the nature of their consciousness and more effectively embody and optimize their journey through lives.    

We hope you enjoy this book as much as these esteemed reviewers.

Vicki Umipeg was prematurely born at 22 weeks, weighing 3 pounds. Her optic nerve was damaged due to high oxygen in the incubator, resulting in complete blindness. She had no visual experiences, no awareness of light whatsoever. At the age of 22, she was thrown out of a car in Seattle, resulting in severe injuries—skull fractures, concussion, and injuries to her neck, back, and leg. While being rescued in the hospital, she found herself floating to the ceiling. As she had been blind all her life, she had never seen that ring or her body. Only in that near-death experience did she see her ring. 

Vicki was the research case study of Dr. Jeffrey Long, a practicing medical doctor in Kentucky. He has dedicated more than 25 years to studying near-death experiences. He has researched and reviewed more than 4,000 cases of near death expereinces and published them on his website, the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation.

Another case study is Joan who had a spinal anesthetic for surgery on her ankle. There were complications and her heart stopped. Joan describes her near-death experience:

I went from being in my body to being in a place of absolute love. I can only describe it like being in a swimming pool, but even my body was filled with this loving. I was one with this place, but also apart from it. I was still me, but I was far more than me. I was one with everything - and it was all good. I did hear beautiful music, but it wasn't like our music. The music itself was part of me, but I don't think I was singing. It was more like it was just part of me, and I was part of it, but it was much more than just me. I felt weightless and free - absolutely free. I was enfolded in this loving and was part of it too. There was not one single part of me or part of anything else that was not love. Individuals did not exist in the same way as we do here. I was still me, but I was also part of the loving. I knew things without hearing a single spoken word... I knew that all religions had it wrong. There is no way rules and judgment could flow from this place. Earthly religions made it complicated when it was very easy. There is only love, and all of us are part of it. There is no way that we cannot be loved. We ARE love. Time did not exist. I have always loved my family on earth, but I did not miss them. I did not think of them. I was more joyful than I ever have been. I felt utterly connected to everything and everyone. We are inter-connected as one. There is no such thing as 'death'. This experience has changed me.

And this is not uncommon. Medical doctor Pim van Lommel did a follow-up two and eight years later with his 344 near-death experience subjects in his research.  He revealed that the subjects’ behaviours and attitudes changed in a positive llike Jaons as a direct result of their near-death experience and that these changes increased with time.

But a life-threatening situation can be very traumatic. What if it is possible to move this New Consciousness state in a safe and gentle process. We believe that it is and have a new book Between Lives - Past-Life Regression, Near-Death Experiences, and the Evolution of Consciousness. Its full of self-help exercise to help readers on their journey to the New Consciousness.
