Finding Purpose is the latest book by Life Between Lives (LBL) facilitators from the Michael Newton Institute, continuing Dr. Michael Newton’s work, first introduced in Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls. Over decades, LBL facilitators worldwide have guided thousands of people into heightened states of consciousness, helping them access memories of their eternal souls and rediscover their purpose for coming to Earth. I’m honored to be a contributing author to this groundbreaking work, sharing insights from Life Between Lives regression that explore the afterlife in profound ways.

This new release captures recent, transformative stories from real client sessions. Themes such as healing and spiritual alignment are explored in depth, providing readers with an intimate look at the soul’s journey beyond this life. One powerful aspect frequently encountered in these sessions is the healing energy clients receive from their guides. This energy can remove energetic blocks, restore vitality, and align individuals with higher frequencies—a phenomenon I like to call “divine, celestial Reiki.”

My story, titled “Healing Music From Home,” chronicles a client’s journey in which her guides sent healing energy that helped her release layers of heaviness, ultimately freeing her to connect more deeply with her life purpose. Here’s an excerpt from Finding Purpose:


Claire was experiencing a life transition when she came to see me for an LBL. She had been married previously and was in the midst of a separation from her current husband. Retired at age 59 from a career of working therapeutically with children and parents as a family counselor. Claire had previously experienced two past life regressions with me. She had prepared a list of questions for her LBL including a curiosity about the feeling of needing to rush from one thing to the next that she’d been experiencing her entire life.  Claire was hoping to find peace with her decision to separate with her husband and receive insight around any soul agreements they had. She also wished to know what was most important for her to focus her energy on at this stage of her life.

After a hypnotic induction and exploration of a recent past life, Claire reached a higher state of consciousness and began experiencing the spirit realm—the place where souls go between lifetimes.

She began travelling with her guide, Andi, towards a light and she reported that she needed to stop periodically and acclimatize to the new levels that she was traveling through. As they moved along her guide encouraged not to hurry, to take her time. When asked what more she can learn about her feeling of the need to hurry in the current life, her guide responded, “the feeling of rushing is from the past life as Amar and is linked to life and death, rescue and protect. In the current life she is excited and filled with anticipation about her life purpose and the importance of it sometimes feels like life and death. In her current life she is a facilitator to help make things easier for those that need help and protection but the lesson in this life is the opposite of that past life and she is meant to “go slow, build trust with people and not to approach it as a battle.”  There was an imprint connected to urgency in the stomach area and with the help of her spirit guide sending energy to that area, she was able to release it.

Next, she met with a council of 6 beings that appeared as an etheric muted white colour and 1 more prominent purple being. We were able to ask many questions that Claire had prepared. The following are a couple of the important questions that she wished to have answered.

Therapist: Claire is curious about what is most important for her to focus on. She’s involved with many things in her current life, indigenous people, justice, and there’s interest in writing a book. Please ask the council what is most important to focus upon in the current life.

Client: The answer I’m getting is that it’s not any particular action. It’s how I am in the action. I can do any of those things and it would be fine, but it’s how I’m doing those things that matters. They are telling me, “Integrity, impeccability with your speech, listening to your heart and your mind, and most important waiting for divine right timing which you cannot see from where you are. Impatience doesn’t help. It’s not life and death. Everything that’s meant to happen will happen.”

Therapist:  Is there anything else you sense is important? Please ask the council to tell you.

Client: Well, one thing they’re saying, is that I have medicine songs and when I sing certain songs, they’re actually medicine songs. 

Therapist: Please tell me more, do these medicine songs benefit you or someone else?

Client: I like it and nature really likes it when I sing. 

Therapist: And how do you feel about what you’ve been told? 

Client: It really makes sense. it feels right. It strengthens me ….. and they’re happy that I’m getting more in touch with my joy. They are telling me, “One of your gifts is to bring joy. So you need to do that, and people respond when you do that. It’s been shut down for a while and it’s coming back.” They’re really honouring that playfulness is such a potent energy. They are saying “less trying, more being. Just be yourself and you’ll be where you need to be. You’ll be doing what you need to do.”

Client: They are also reassuring me,” You’ll get the support you need, you’ll get the information you need to get, you’ll get the resources you need to do it, but you don’t have to try so hard.. or worry. You don’t have to worry so much” …. and now they are showing me that there’s a layer of my being that’s conditioned that I don’t need anymore. 

Therapist: I see, would it be appropriate to release this layer right now?

Client: Yes. There’s a couple of little angels that are coming to me, wait, they’re kind of checking my head. They take out the bits that are contaminated.  It’s their specialty!  

Therapist: And how does that feel? 

Client: It feels nice. They have these little satchels that they’re putting all the contaminated thoughts into and they’re going to take it all away to its next highest evolution, whatever those unhelpful programming thoughts are.

Therapist: And how are you feeling now? 

Client: I feel so good. My head feels really clear. 

After answering  the other important questions that Claire had about her life and leaving The Council her  guide took her to a bench and put his hands on her head, eyes, heart, and feet, telling her, “It’s much gentler here and we don’t like rush into things. It’s a lot to leave the body and acclimatize here and I can help with this.” She reported that it helped her to attune to how much love there is in that place so different from earth that is dense.
