[00:17] That’s today on Woo Biz.
[00:20] Hello and welcome to another edition of Woo Biz. I’m your host, Andy Walker. This is the podcast where we help you be a more effective business leader, entrepreneur, creative and innovator.
[00:31] Things that we call woo tactics. And today I have a very special guest. His name is Simon Bowne and he is a hypnotherapist that does past life regressions.
[00:41] He’s also an author and a podcaster.
[00:44] Runs some of my favorite podcasts on the paranormal out there. One is on afterlife and the other One is on UFOs and abductions.
[00:52] Let’s get on with the interview.
[00:55] Today we’re joined by Simon Bown, a clinical hypnotherapist, past life regression therapist and entrepreneur in the world of podcasting. Simon’s produced over, I think it’s 900 episodes across shows like the Alien UFO podcast and our Paranormal Afterlife,
[01:11] amassing more than 6 million downloads, probably more by now, and even topping the UK Apple podcast Spirituality chart.
[01:19] He’s also the author of Verified Near Death Experiences, Proof of an Afterlife, where he presents extraordinary accounts backed by real evidence.
[01:27] Simon’s ability to blend professional practice with storytelling has built a global audience, showing how passion, credibility and consistency can scale into a thriving platform.
[01:37] Please welcome Simon Barne. Well, hello, Simon.
[01:40] Simon B: Hi. It’s great to be here. It’s nice to talk to you again.
[01:43] Andy W: Yeah, it really is. It really is. So a few years ago, people should know that I listened to Simon’s podcasts and he was a big inspiration in me starting Woo Biz.
[01:50] I mean, you’ve been podcasting now for four or five years now, right, Simon?
[01:54] Simon B: Oh, it’s 2018, I think I started.
[01:56] Andy W: Oh my goodness. Wow. You’re coming up to maybe almost a decade coming, you know, you know, a couple of years or so. That’s brilliant. You explore topics around the afterlife. So you do psychic mediums, you do regressions, you do people who’ve had near death experiences and that kind of thing,
[02:09] but really it’s all anchored in your training as a hypnotherapist.
[02:13] Simon B: Yeah, it’s a thing where I used to go to the College of Psychic Studies in London in the 80s.
[02:20] And it wasn’t that I was a student there, but you could go and the students could practice on you. You pay a Little bit of money.
[02:27] There would be learning mediumship and channeling and taking people through past life regression.
[02:33] And so I would go every couple of weeks. For me, it was like an investigation to see what would happen.
[02:38] And I was taken through a past life regression about that time and it was really quite impactful.
[02:45] And then over time I did another one and another one and I thought,
[02:49] this is something I want to take people through.
[02:51] So eventually I got a diploma in clinical hypnotherapy and I got a certificate in past life regression therapy.
[03:00] And I’ve been doing hundreds of sessions since then.
[03:03] Done so many of them. I do them all online on Zoom, and it works really well. I was always also listening to lots of podcasts,
[03:11] which was all about paranormal stuff,
[03:14] which is,
[03:16] you know, like you were saying,
[03:18] near death experiences and mediums and also UFOs.
[03:22] And I was interested in the kind of verification side of it, the evidence.
[03:29] So it’s not religious and based on faith. It’s more. If somebody says they have a near death experience and they saw something while they were out of body that later is confirmed,
[03:39] then that’s evidence that they were out of their body.
[03:42] Especially if they’re hooked up to devices that show they had a flatline brain and their heart wasn’t beating at the time.
[03:51] So that was what the basis of the podcast is. Looking for evidence of an afterlife.
[03:56] Andy W: Have you had any surprises along the way? Is this exploration what you expected or has it become more complicated? Often when you investigate something,
[04:05] you end up asking more questions than when you had when you started. So I’m wondering, you know, where did you get to now? It’s been seven or seven years or so doing this work.
[04:13] Simon B: Yeah, well, I’ve been reading books on this subject for decades.
[04:18] Early 70s,
[04:21] let’s see, I would go to the local public library and get these books out showing my age now. But in the 80s, more and more of this stuff showed up about near death experiences.
[04:29] And then 90s, there seemed to be a flood of books about alien abduction and UFOs.
[04:35] So I had all this knowledge that I built up over the decades and I decided I wanted to do a podcast.
[04:41] And so I just started doing it. And I was very lucky that right from the beginning I’d invite people to be a guest and they just say yes.
[04:50] And so that, that’s like this investigation side of it, but it was also an idea of monetizing there as well. So I was able to set up what the Patreon,
[05:01] where people subscribe and they get bonus content and also I put advertising in the episodes to advertise myself as a hypnotherapist.
[05:10] And also now I’m advertising my book as well.
[05:13] And so it’s like these three different things are income streams that I’m trying to build and it seems to be working okay. I mean, I’m making a living at it.
[05:23] I’m not doing a nine to five.
[05:25] Andy W: That’s very good. Yeah. So, so is this rooted somewhere, like in a deeper childhood, longing for like discovering mysteries of, of consciousness? Like did you have any paranormal experience as a child or is this just something.
[05:38] This was an interest that developed as you, as you became an adult?
[05:43] Simon B: Yeah, I don’t know, it’s weird. I mean, I did have little experiences when I was a kid, but nothing major.
[05:49] But I have had other experiences as I got into being adult with the UFO sightings,
[05:55] like very close up sightings and also psychic flashes that come to me and coincidences and very vivid dreams.
[06:05] So it’s like I’m a, like we’re on a spiritual path and we all get these things at some point.
[06:12] And every time you get something, it’s like taking you another step along your path.
[06:17] So almost like the universe has given you a kick up the pants and saying, hey, pay attention.
[06:22] You know, when you see a UFO like I did,
[06:25] and it’s just 200ft away,
[06:28] it’s 25ft off the ground,
[06:30] it’s the size of a large house. It doesn’t move an inch the whole time, doesn’t make any sound.
[06:35] That, that’s quite an impact. It wasn’t just a little light in the sky. I saw this craft with all these lights all over it.
[06:42] Andy W: Wow, that’s amazing. I like, in my exploration, you know, I’ve had really weird synchronicities.
[06:48] I had a strange experience doing a vision quest in Sedona, Arizona. You know, I have a sense that I can connect with my dead father in law and have some mediumistic capabilities.
[07:01] And as I’ve been developing, exploring these things,
[07:03] you know,
[07:04] it’s made me go, there is more here out there. There’s more for me not only as a human being, but as a, you know, as a. Because I’m an entrepreneur as well.
[07:12] But I’ve never had something as extraordinary as an up close UFO sighting. So that must have been profoundly moving for you. Was this in recent memory or was this a long time ago when that happened?
[07:23] And, and did that make you ask more questions or did it scare you a little bit? I, it probably would have terrified me.
[07:31] Simon B: No it wasn’t that scary. It was about 1993, and it was one o’ clock on a Monday morning. I’d been gigging with my band and just heading home.
[07:42] And it was on the side of a motorway. You know, we drive on the left here.
[07:48] I saw this big bright light on the left in the distance.
[07:52] And it was in this field that I know, it’s an empty field, there’s nothing there. And I thought, that’s weird.
[07:56] And I checked my mirrors and there were no other cars on this stretch of motorway at this point.
[08:02] So I could slow right down to like five miles an hour and just look up at it as I slowly went past and leaning forwards over the steering wheel. And it was, it was very interesting.
[08:13] It was weird that since I have such an interest in UFOs, I didn’t stop and pay more attention. I just sped up and went home. But that’s something we see in UFOs and weirdness, that it’s almost like the UFO was there because it wanted to be seen.
[08:31] It wanted me to see it.
[08:33] Andy W: Sure.
[08:33] Simon B: Because it was moving another step on the path. When I’d seen it, that was enough. And they were saying, pushing me to go, so to speak.
[08:41] Andy W: We’re done with you now, Simon. You can go home.
[08:44] Simon B: Yeah.
[08:45] Yeah. Because I,
[08:46] I, I’ve talked to a woman on my podcast. She saw a ufo and she was a photographer, and she’s sitting in her car, she’s stationary,
[08:53] and she leaned back to pick up this really nice camera off her backseat. And then she just stopped and then brought her hand back again. And I said, why didn’t you take the picture?
[09:03] She says, I don’t know.
[09:05] It’s just like the thought of doing it just disappeared.
[09:08] It seemed like there was some kind of telepathic control from the aliens. Yeah. Am I sounding too crazy now?
[09:15] Andy W: No, no, no. But this is, this is what I’ve kind of been like, once upon a time, I was thinking, okay, there’s the UFOs. Okay, I’ll read about that. And then there’s Bigfoot, and then there’s ghosts and there’s.
[09:26] But. And then, you know, we talk about things like the afterlife, and I go, what is the connection here? But they all seem to be like, how high? Strangeness.
[09:34] So,
[09:35] so you’re a guy who explores the afterlife with your, with your expertise as a hypnotherapist, yet you’ve had a UFO sighting up close and an interest in all this. Do you think there’s a connection in all of this consciousness stuff?
[09:51] If I can call it that. Like,
[09:52] what’s the connection? Why does Simon, a hypnotherapist exploring the afterlife,
[09:57] have a, an up close UFO sighting? Like, is, is there a connection or is it, do you think it’s just coincidence?
[10:02] Simon B: No, I think there is a connection.
[10:04] I get the impression there’s, there’s people who know just as much as I do and I’m, I’m a bit of an expert.
[10:11] I know enough to know that I don’t know enough, if you see what I mean.
[10:16] Andy W: Yeah.
[10:16] Simon B: And it does seem to be that they’re interdimensional or maybe interdimensional is not the right word. Or they come from another reality or they come from another universe and that they don’t travel through the stars like Star Trek.
[10:31] And because it’s interdimensional, it’s got something to do with consciousness.
[10:35] It links up with the, the afterlife in a way because that’s got something to do with consciousness.
[10:41] There are people who claim to have been abducted by aliens and they complain to them, you can’t do this to me. You’ve got no right. And the aliens say, but you agreed to this before you were born.
[10:54] This is, you agreed to incarnate as a human and that we would do this.
[10:59] So there’s a weird connection there with reincarnation.
[11:02] Andy W: Right. Because there seems to be also like a soul agreements. Right. So I mean, if you go into, you know, you sort of tend to talk to a lot of these accounts that you’ve sort of been studying and people have been relating to you.
[11:14] They have guides and they have people that they talk to and they have soul agreements.
[11:21] But that sounds to me like,
[11:23] wait a second, aliens are also talking about soul agreements. Huh. That is that, that does start to dovetail kind of in a strange way. The question is, why?
[11:33] Do you have any sense?
[11:35] Simon B: Yeah, I get a sense of something like that happening.
[11:39] I put an episode out recently of somebody called Frankie,
[11:43] that’s not their real name.
[11:45] And they had a past life memory of being a life on another planet.
[11:51] Andy W: I see.
[11:52] Simon B: And they were on their deathbed and they said their planet was visited by these two aliens.
[11:58] And she said, we were well aware of the aliens, that they were alive on other planets, but it was very rare that they come and visit us.
[12:07] And they were doing this kind of going round visiting people. And they came to her in that past life, on her deathbed and say, we wanted to know if you would volunteer for this mission where you would incarnate on Earth as a human to help us with what we’re doing there.
[12:24] So they seem very aware of it. But I’ve heard the ETs refer to humans as containers or vessels.
[12:31] So it’s like vessels for the soul or something.
[12:36] Andy W: I’ve had that distinct feeling myself,
[12:39] like when you start to realize, okay, consciousness is energy and if, if I am all energy, like when I’m connecting with things like spirit guides and that sort of thing, or even my father in law who’s passed.
[12:48] Right, there’s this distinct sense of an energy there and then there’s my energy.
[12:52] And then when you kind of reflect on it, you go, well, this is just a neat robot that I’m sitting in and I’m happy to be renting it for 80 years until the next thing.
[13:01] Does that relate for you?
[13:03] Simon B: Yeah, it’s almost like your, your spacesuit for when you come to visit Earth.
[13:08] Andy W: That’s right.
[13:09] Yeah, exactly.
[13:11] So let’s pivot real quick here. So, because I’m curious, you’ve gone through some amazing experiences.
[13:16] You’ve interviewed the who’s who of the afterlife, the psychics,
[13:21] a lot of these alien and UFO experts and that sort of thing.
[13:25] So, you know, the point of woo biz, this show is really to find out the connection between the woo and biz. So has any of this,
[13:33] these experiences or these, these connections that you’ve made helped you,
[13:38] do you think, or guided you in what you’re doing now? You’re an entrepreneur now obviously you’re a podcasting, a broadcast entrepreneur.
[13:45] So how has, has these experiences helped you in your business?
[13:50] Simon B: I suppose there’s a thing of being ready to put yourself forward and to,
[13:55] to do things.
[13:57] I did a session recently with a woman and she wanted to know why she had this certain relationship with finance in this life.
[14:04] She was like, why can’t I do these things I need to do?
[14:08] She’s a medium and she wants to earn money doing that. But she says she’s got this fear of moving forward.
[14:15] And in the session she found herself in these two past lives of how they see how they relate to money and how you could see what was happening in those lives is affecting her in this life.
[14:26] So when you, I’ve seen this sort of thing before and you see that there’s no reason to fear just getting out there and doing it.
[14:36] That’s one of the things I learned. It’s like I said, when I started the podcast, I just started emailing these well known people in the field saying, will you come on my podcast?
[14:45] I’ve had two downloads. My whole life,
[14:47] but they still agreed to it and they did it. And I also think there’s a thing where you won’t get anywhere in life if you’re not prepared to make a fool of yourself.
[14:58] Sometimes, you know, you try something and you might fail and you might look stupid,
[15:02] but at least you tried.
[15:04] And also, that’s a lesson you learn there, what went wrong. And you can use that information to help you go forwards in other ways. It’s all part of the experience of building stuff up, isn’t it?
[15:15] Andy W: Yeah, absolutely.
[15:16] Do you think that sort of your.
[15:18] Maybe your heightened awareness and some of the skills you’ve developed have helped you be increasingly creative,
[15:26] or do you feel guided at all by any of this stuff?
[15:29] Simon B: Yeah, it’s interesting.
[15:30] I think there is a creative side to me because I’ve written a book and I’ve produced podcasts, and I’ve been a musician since 1980.
[15:37] And I think that there may be a talent there in one direction,
[15:41] perhaps something to do with asking questions and the technical side of a podcast.
[15:47] But I do think I don’t have a talent when it comes to marketing.
[15:51] And I think, you know this. Like, when I learned to play bass, I remember being with somebody and they said, how did you work out to do that? And I was like, well, you just do it.
[15:59] I didn’t have to work it out.
[16:01] And I think that would be marketing with me. I’d have to say to the people, how do you do it? How did you think that up? And for them, it’s their talent.
[16:08] They’re just natural. They go, well, it’s obvious. You have to do this with Facebook and do that on Instagram, and then you can build it up and you’ve got to make it sound this way.
[16:17] And it’s beyond me.
[16:19] Andy W: So do you think there’s any kind of great plan here about, like, do you think you got pushed into this through an inspiration, or do you think you just decided to do it one day, like just the perfect storm of ideas and the right moment?
[16:29] Or do you. Do you feel there’s any sorts of sense of a push, a divine push, or any plan like that, do you think?
[16:38] Simon B: I think what I’d say is it’s.
[16:40] It’s part of the life plan that I put together before I was born,
[16:43] or that I didn’t put together, my soul did,
[16:46] and that I’ve been on an apprenticeship to get to this point my whole life,
[16:50] to get to this point now where I’m doing what is my mission.
[16:55] And being a musician,
[16:57] I Learned how to use recording software.
[17:00] And that was almost like that was my apprenticeship on the buildup to podcasting so that I’d know how to do that.
[17:07] And 10, 12 years ago, I wrote a science fiction novel.
[17:11] I self published that on Amazon. So that taught me how to do that. For now, I can just do that with my verified Near Death experiences book.
[17:19] Andy W: Yeah.
[17:19] Simon B: And it’s like I said earlier, there’s all these baby steps on your spiritual path.
[17:23] I think maybe some of those were leading me to this point to be a communicator,
[17:29] to get this information out there.
[17:32] Andy W: Yeah, yeah.
[17:33] Simon B: It’s just a guess.
[17:34] Andy W: Well, it. It’s a good, logical guess, I think, you know,
[17:39] in terms of being a communicator, then when you’ve done your regressions in the past, has there been any themes around being a better communicating or any failure to communicate that resulted, say, in a past life death or.
[17:52] Or has that come through? Like, what have you got through your own regressions as it pertains to what you do now or business in general?
[18:00] Simon B: Well, there. There was a client recently who had to speak in front of people as part of their job,
[18:07] whether it was a big audience or it was going into an office and presenting to a number of people.
[18:13] And they said they had a real problem with it. They got really nervous. So much anxiety.
[18:19] She said that it felt like her head would blow up like a balloon and that she’d almost be in another world while she was talking to people.
[18:26] And she says, why is it like, why? There’s no reason I should feel like this.
[18:30] And we went to a past life that was a few hundred years ago in France where she was a woman.
[18:37] And I can’t remember if she was Catholic or Protestant, but it was. It was almost like being she was in the wrong part of France and she was speaking up with this religion like she was Catholic and everybody around was Protestant.
[18:51] And it built up to this point where she was killed.
[18:54] And she said that what they did, this is a bit gruesome, but they laid her on her back and pushed a sword down through her throat.
[19:02] Andy W: Awful.
[19:03] Simon B: So in that life, speaking in front of people got her killed.
[19:08] And also it’s kind of symbolic that it was the throat where you speak from that was injured in that past life.
[19:16] Yeah. And she felt a tremendous sense of relief. And she said, I can see it now, how.
[19:22] How I felt in that past life. The fear when they captured me and they were going to kill me.
[19:28] That’s so similar to the fear I have in this life.
[19:32] And all I’m going is into an office boardroom with 20 people and presenting something.
[19:37] Andy W: Right. But there’s a consequence for her to speak up. Right? There was a consequence in that life.
[19:43] And so you can totally see how that would be held over. And let’s face it, public speaking in general, most people is like on their worst thing to do list.
[19:50] Right? Like, nobody really wants to do that.
[19:53] Interesting. What about money or failure, things like that? Do you see any common business themes come up when they do relate to some of your clients? And what, what kind of themes are you seeing?
[20:05] Simon B: Yeah, there’s, there’s people who have, want to find out about their relationship with finance,
[20:11] about how they have this fear of money or a fear of losing money or a fear of making money.
[20:19] I see a past life where maybe they were a slave and they never made any money and they saw all these riches around them and there was a feeling there of kind of,
[20:33] I don’t deserve to have the money, I’m just a slave.
[20:37] So they feel in this life, I don’t deserve to have the money.
[20:40] I don’t deserve to have my business being successful. And that will definitely hold you back.
[20:45] So seeing that in a past life can give you insights and understanding about how you’re feeling in this life.
[20:52] Andy W: So let’s take, let’s just talk about the process then because I think a lot of people, you know, who are listening to this are going, well, that sounds interesting. But what I have to do.
[20:59] Is it scary to be hypnotized?
[21:02] Why don’t you take us through sort of typically, what if somebody signed up with you and said, listen, I want to do a past life regression and I want to,
[21:08] you know, I see some opportunities here for myself.
[21:11] What, what’s your process? Can you take us through kind of the step by step of what people can expect?
[21:15] Simon B: Yeah, well, first of all, there’s a free 20 minute call that we can do and you can go into my calendar on my website and book it. And so we can talk about what you want to achieve in a past life regression.
[21:28] And it’s really useful because I can find out if they’ve done hypnosis before and what their viewpoint is.
[21:34] And then when we get to the session,
[21:38] I take them through the hypnotic induction, which is all about relaxation and visualization.
[21:44] And it’s a very relaxing state when you are hypnotized.
[21:49] You’re still perfectly aware of your surroundings. You feel like you could stop anytime you want and you remember it all. It’s, it’s just like when you’re falling asleep and you’re in bed and you’re really comfortable and you’re just about to go to sleep, this deep sense of relaxation.
[22:05] And for some reason,
[22:07] when we get into that state, we can bypass the conscious, so to speak, and get to the subconscious or the superconscious.
[22:15] And there’s a channel there to get to these other memories from these other lives.
[22:21] And one of the things about it is you have these spirit guides, and they know all of your past lives.
[22:27] So when we’re going into it, we ask for their assistance. And we may say to them,
[22:32] okay, can you take us to the past life? That is the origin point of my issue with money or the issue with my relationship with finances.
[22:41] And so we can go targeting the past life.
[22:45] And first of all, we enter the past life and I just do basic questions to find out who you are and where you are.
[22:52] And then we start moving it forwards. People can get a lot of emotions coming through.
[22:58] All sorts of knowledge comes through, and you get all these visualizations,
[23:02] and it can be very powerful.
[23:04] And these past life scenes tend to come to a natural end.
[23:08] Some of them, you may recognize somebody as,
[23:12] hey, that. That person, my brother in that past life is now my son in this life. That kind of thing.
[23:19] And I might say to you, okay, we’re gonna move to another event.
[23:22] I’ll count you down from 5 to 0.
[23:25] When I get to 0, you’ll move to a significant event in that life, an event that is the cause of your current life’s issues.
[23:32] So we can go hunting down trying to find these things. And I’ve got techniques to release negative energy,
[23:38] break the bond with the past life.
[23:41] But then towards the end of the session,
[23:43] we might see the death of the past life, we might not, but I move the person into the afterlife.
[23:49] And it’s at that point we hope to encounter the spirit guide.
[23:53] We can ask them all sorts of questions about their past lives and their current life and ask them for advice on how to go forwards in life.
[24:01] We might say, also,
[24:03] if you look at your life right now, what’s most important that you should focus on?
[24:08] I might also ask them, what is your purpose in this life? Are you on the right path?
[24:12] What did you agree to before you were born?
[24:15] And I gotta say, the spirit guides are not always there.
[24:19] It’s not something I control.
[24:21] I say 90% of the time they show up.
[24:24] But then that would bring us to the end of the session, and it lasts about an hour.
[24:29] Andy W: That was my experience with you. Yeah, I mean, you took me through two lives.
[24:33] One was a young lighthouse keeper’s son or stepson actually,
[24:38] called Jack. And he killed himself.
[24:41] Threw himself off a cliff, actually. Interestingly enough, I saw these giant white cliffs that. And I thought during the regression, I think I said, I think I’m in the Netherlands.
[24:53] But years.
[24:54] A couple years later, I saw a documentary on the south coast of England. The Jurassic coast is I guess what they call it. And that was like. That was a match.
[25:04] So obviously there was some connection there. You know, young Jack and. And my mother in that life was also the mother of one of my mother’s friends, longtime lifetime friends.
[25:14] So it was just.
[25:15] What you just said was exactly my experience.
[25:18] It’s amazing. It’s amazing.
[25:21] And then we ended up going and talking to my council, and that’s when I met my. My primary spirit guide, Philomena, for the first time. I didn’t have a name for her at the time, but that led me to that exploration.
[25:31] So just fascinating. Like.
[25:33] And. And would you say that similarly this happens with every regression? Or. Or can they manifest in different ways or. Or.
[25:41] Or structured different ways? Or is that pretty much the pattern you see?
[25:45] Simon B: That’s pretty much the pattern. Different things do happen.
[25:49] Rarely I do get. People who go to past lives on other planets did a session today where the spirit guide showed up straight away and they stood with them the whole session through every past life and discussed the past life with them while they were seeing it.
[26:05] That doesn’t happen very often.
[26:07] Andy W: Like a co viewer.
[26:09] Simon B: Yeah. And occasionally I talk to people when they’re with their spirit guide and suddenly their voice changes when they’re hypnotized.
[26:17] They can be taught very softly because they’re so relaxed.
[26:21] Then suddenly the voice is very strong and they talk about themselves in the third person. Like it’s the spirit guide that’s speaking and not the client.
[26:29] So that. That’s always interesting as well.
[26:31] Andy W: That’s fascinating. Yeah. Yeah. Like a different personality comes through.
[26:35] Simon B: Yeah.
[26:36] Andy W: And would that be the personality of their former selves in the previous life, or would that be like a character in what they were seeing?
[26:43] Simon B: Yeah, that would be the spirit guide.
[26:45] Andy W: Or the spirit guide would speak through them. I see. Wow. It all comes together. Right. Like, you’re right. Like this is a tangled web that all seems to come to the same similar nexuses.
[26:53] Like in the sense that spirit guides and councils and afterlife and aliens and the past and the future. I mean, also to you. You can do future regressions too? No.
[27:02] Can you go to future Lives as well.
[27:04] Simon B: Yeah, I’ve, I’ve heard people do it.
[27:07] And I was talking to a guy before I recorded with him. He’s got much more experience than me with past life regression. I said it’d be interesting, maybe get 20 people,
[27:17] take them all forward 100 years and say, well, what’s happening?
[27:22] He said, yeah, people have tried that. It doesn’t really work out. Everybody says something different is happening a hundred years from now. So maybe it’s all, it’s all potentials and there’s, it’s not set right.
[27:35] Andy W: Right. Yeah, well, they do say, right. I mean, if we’re on this particular frequency.
[27:39] You know, they talk about things like when, when timelines bend and things like that. You know, they suggest perhaps, you know, sort of a,
[27:47] the deja vu’s and things like that, or timeline switching and things like that. So it does suggest that perhaps the current timeline is a potential for something and it can switch.
[27:56] And so it would make sense that they wouldn’t necessarily always have the same path. The future isn’t necessarily tangible.
[28:04] And as human beings we, we operate on a, like a concept of time. But time doesn’t exist in the afterlife. Is that your experience?
[28:12] Simon B: Yeah, that’s how I see it. It’s like a soul puts a small percentage of itself into each life because for that soul time doesn’t exist.
[28:24] So it’s experiencing all of the lives in the same moment.
[28:28] They’re not one after another.
[28:31] So the soul couldn’t put a hundred percent of itself into each of us because then it can go to these other lives. But there’s also this idea of the multiverse and lots of other earths.
[28:42] And I did an episode about people in comas having near death experiences.
[28:48] And the guy was saying that some people have coma,
[28:52] and they might have a coma for seven days and they come out and they’ve lived years in another life on another earth.
[28:59] And they say that that was just as real as this life. It wasn’t a dream or hallucination.
[29:05] And there was a guy, he said he had 22 years on another Earth and he did a tour of duty fighting in the army in a country in Southeast Asia that doesn’t exist on this Earth.
[29:18] And he said there was slight little differences, like the McDonald’s signs were different colors.
[29:25] And when he came back he thought this was the dream.
[29:30] And there were a number of people that this guy talked to who’d had this kind of experience during the coma and that they were talked down to by their family and the doctors.
[29:41] You know, oh, it was just a dream, but for them, it was very real.
[29:46] Andy W: Fascinating.
[29:49] But we’re about to jump into a little exercise because I really want you to take us through a little sampling of some of this. Perhaps,
[29:55] uh, before we go there, maybe you can take two minutes.
[29:58] Cause you obviously have studied psycho, sorry, hypnotherapy,
[30:02] you know, and. And been certified in it. So you must know a little bit about the science behind how it works. And obviously, we’re blending here, like past lives.
[30:11] W. Which is esoteric in. In many ways. And yet hypnotherapy is a verifiable, scientific and recognized tool. So is there a scientific basis to some of this, even though it might step into something that’s maybe a little less understood, like the afterlife?
[30:26] Simon B: Well, they do know that when you’re hypnotized, your brain waves go into the same state as when you’re in a particular type of sleep.
[30:35] But how it actually works,
[30:37] I don’t know if anybody really knows.
[30:40] Something happens deep inside, in the subconscious.
[30:44] I used to help people stop smoking with hypnotherapy.
[30:47] And we’d do the session and we finish it, and they’d be in the room with me. They kind of get up. They didn’t feel any different.
[30:55] And then weeks or months later, they contact me and say I’d not had one cigarette since that session.
[31:01] Something had changed that they didn’t notice.
[31:04] And it wasn’t a thing. Where they wanted a cigarette and they had more willpower.
[31:08] The desire for a cigarette was completely removed.
[31:12] It just didn’t even occur to them to have a cigarette.
[31:15] One guy said he had a packet of 20 in his car,
[31:18] and he’d been driving around with them now for weeks and didn’t even think of taking one out. The thing, it changes you somehow, somewhere. You don’t notice it, but it does happen.
[31:29] Andy W: So let’s do some of this. What have you prepared for us where our listeners can maybe engage in this a little bit themselves? Or is there a little exercise you can share with us?
[31:40] Simon B: Yeah, it’s a thing about releasing energy, and it’s kind of for businessmen, and it’s to do with leadership.
[31:48] And I don’t know if you’d say self esteem or.
[31:53] Or confidence.
[31:54] It’s a hypnotic process.
[31:57] So maybe if people are in the right position, they could close their eyes and just follow it.
[32:02] Don’t do it if you’re driving or operating heavy machinery, as they say. All right, so just close your eyes now and just take a slow, steady breath in and Gently let it go again, breathing in deeply and then exhaling with a sense of release,
[32:20] letting your shoulders soften,
[32:23] your body settle,
[32:25] and your mind become clear.
[32:28] As you continue to breathe,
[32:31] imagine yourself standing at the edge of a great doorway.
[32:35] This doorway represents the threshold between the busy outer world and.
[32:40] And the deeper place within you,
[32:43] a timeless part of your mind.
[32:47] So now take yourself through the doorway with three steps.
[32:51] With each step forward, you release the weight of the day.
[32:56] Step one, release the tension in your body.
[33:00] Step two,
[33:02] release the endless stream of tasks.
[33:05] Step three,
[33:07] release the need to carry everything alone.
[33:11] As you arrive at the center of this inner space,
[33:15] you notice a sense of familiarity,
[33:19] as though you have been here before,
[33:22] perhaps in another time,
[33:24] another life,
[33:26] another role you have lived.
[33:29] Allow an image, a feeling, or simply a knowing to come to you. Now,
[33:36] perhaps you see yourself as a leader.
[33:40] Perhaps it was in another age, on a ship,
[33:43] in a council,
[33:44] guiding a family,
[33:46] or even tending the land.
[33:49] Whatever arises is exactly right.
[33:54] Notice the strength you held in that role.
[33:57] Notice the wisdom,
[33:59] the clarity,
[34:01] the way you made decisions from a place of deep alignment.
[34:06] This is a strength you still carry within you today.
[34:11] Now imagine gathering that energy like golden light from that past life.
[34:18] Let it flow toward you,
[34:20] filling your body,
[34:22] your mind,
[34:23] your spirit,
[34:25] so that the leadership you embody today is strengthened by the wisdom of many lifetimes.
[34:33] And as that energy fills you,
[34:35] notice the heaviness,
[34:37] the stress,
[34:39] or any blocks beginning to dissolve as though they were simply shadows melting in the sunlight.
[34:47] Take a breath in,
[34:49] drawing in empowerment.
[34:52] Exhale,
[34:53] releasing any tension,
[34:55] any fear,
[34:57] any weight you no longer need as you bring yourself back into this moment.
[35:04] Carry with you that golden thread of energy,
[35:08] the wisdom of who you have been supporting, the leader you are now.
[35:14] Now one more deep breath in and out.
[35:19] And when you are ready, gently open your eyes.
[35:22] Feeling lighter,
[35:24] clearer and more resourced for the day ahead.
[35:30] Andy W: Oh, that’s good.
[35:32] That’s a quick, hot hit.
[35:35] I love that. That’s really good. Because that didn’t take very long at all. I went deep like that almost right away. And it’s interesting. I saw myself as a Hawaiian shaman with.
[35:47] With a headdress and standing on the edge of flowing lava.
[35:54] And it some was some sort of ceremony where I was like. I don’t know, I was with my people.
[35:59] It’s very powerful though.
[36:01] Kind of really cool.
[36:02] Simon B: Yeah, this. This is great. This. There’s all sorts of techniques like this you use in hypnosis, can be surprisingly powerful.
[36:10] Andy W: Just an incredible technology.
[36:13] Well, thank you for that. That was great.
[36:15] People have been commenting on all these exercises, so that would be one of the, I think my favorites already.
[36:21] Simon B: So.
[36:21] Andy W: Very good.
[36:22] All right, well let’s, we’re going to wrap up because we’re going to hop into the Woo Biz plus segment where members get some expended time here with Simon and me.
[36:31] So and we’re going to explore a little bit deeper about some of the things that Simon’s expert in, including hypnotherapy and ways that you can use it in your business.
[36:42] So we’re going to jump into that shortly. But before we do that, I’m going to say goodbye to our free free members and Simon, can you just give us a real quick way for people to get hold of you and maybe tell us a little bit about your book and your practice,
[36:53] the best ways to connect with you if they wanted to explore hypnotherapy and afterlife regression with you?
[37:00] Simon B: Yeah, my website is past lives hypnosis co.uk and and I have the our Paranormal Afterlife podcast and the Alien UFO podcast.
[37:11] And my book is called Verified Near Death Experiences.
[37:15] You can get it on Amazon, it’s on audiobook,
[37:18] paperback and on Kindle and you could probably get it in other places like Barnes and Noble as well.
[37:24] And if you wanted to discuss doing a past life regression, you can go into my calendar book, a free 20 minute consultation call.
[37:32] Andy W: Very good. That’s how I did it. And I think that that 20 minute free session that you get do before you do the regression itself is very valuable because it, it also sets you up for to powerfully get what you need out of, out of the regression itself when it’s scheduled a couple days later.
[37:45] So there you go. So if you’re interested in past life regressions, this is the man to go to.
[37:51] Easy. It’s all done on Zoom and his book. I was reading it, I was writing my Mower Tractor the other day, listening to Simon’s book, which is phenomenal. Like what evidence for the afterlife.
[38:04] Just incredible stuff. So good work on that. Simon, I’m hoping that you’re going to do another book at some point in the future because that one’s certainly a blockbuster already.
[38:11] Simon B: I am working on a book at the moment. It’s about alien abduction.
[38:15] Andy W: Well, there you go. That’s Simon Bowne. You can learn more about him and his websites and his books. They’ll be able. I’ll put links in the show notes [email protected] but for the time being,
[38:26] on behalf of Simon Bown, I’m Andy Walker and We’ll see you next time. Stay in the woo.
