Destiny of Souls is a book by Michael Newton (9 December 1931 – 22 September 2016), published in 2000. Newton was a hypnotherapist who developed his own age regression technique.[citation needed] The Michael Newton Institute for Life Between Lives Hypnotherapy is a ‘non-profit’ organization formed in 2002. The Institute was set up to train qualified hypnotherapists to continue Newton's work on past lives and spiritual realms. [1]
Summary
[edit]In his second book, and through what he calls research into the afterlife, Newton claims to have documented the results of his clinical work in spiritual hypnotherapy. These are presented in a form of case studies and Newton asserts that they uncover the hidden aspects of the spirit world.[2][3]
Reception
[edit]Publishers Weekly in their review said that this book was "a rich volume, chock-full of interviews and fascinating first-person narratives, this book is nonetheless not for the uninitiated; Newton sometimes fails to explain his terminology, so readers who do not know much about "lives between lives" may feel lost. More informed readers, however, will find this a feast, and Newton a charming host."[3] Destiny of Souls won the Independent Publisher Book Award in 2001 in the New Age category,[4] one of 49 categories of this annual award.
