DEHRADUN, 13 Apr:
Seeking cures for problems like migraines, stress, low self-esteem, money issues, dysfunctional relationship, poor destiny and bad health, 33 participants attended a Spiritual Therapy Workshop in the city today. It was conducted by Dr Kondaveti Newton and his wife, Dr Laxmi Newton -- Hyderabad based Past Life Regression Therapists.
According to Anil Sinha, an IIT Kanpur alumnus and a Software/ Management Consultant, who organised the workshop at a hotel here, the duo were ‘world renowned Regression Therapists’. “After bidding adieu to their medical career, they started Life Research Academy in Hyderabad in 2000 to heal patients through the Past Life Regression Method,” he said.
Many names
According to Sinha, who also attended the Newtons’ workshop in Hyderabad in 2007, Past Life Regression Method ‘is known as Para-Psychology, Meta-physical Therapy or Regression Therapy’.
‘Benefits’
Recalling his own experiences, Sinha said that the Past Life Regression Method ‘gives one a chance to understand life and helps to balance one’s life in a better way leading to spiritual growth’.
Speaking to Garhwal Post, Chaitali Sinha, a student of St Joseph’s, who was the youngest participant at the workshop, said, “I attended the workshop not to seek solutions, but to explore spirituality.”Anjana, another participant, who was attending the workshop for the second time said that ‘this time the workshop helped me to identify my problem’.
According to Anil Sinha, the workshop was also attended by participants from half-a-dozen states of North India. “This was the third workshop by the Newton couple in Doon,” he said, adding that they conducted two more workshops in 2008.
Is it a Science?
Though acknowledging that the Medical Council of India (MCI) does not officially recognise Regression Therapists, it ‘is still a science’, it was claimed.“In order to understand the science behind spirituality, a lot of research is being done in the west. Those who have doubts about it should read Brian Weiss’ ‘Many Lives, Many Masters’ and ‘The Intention Experiment’ by Lynne McTaggart,” Sinha said.
In his defence, he said that many US researchers were trying to find a connection between spirituality and science. “There definitely is a connection because modern scientists researching in quantum physics have discovered many sub-atomic particles deviating from the principles of physics.”He also blamed Indians’ contempt for anything that is not western.
“Anything new in science has always faced opposition. Earlier, westerners used to call Indian traditions superstitious, but now they have embraced Osho, Yoga and meditation techniques,” he said, pointing out that, sooner or later, ‘it would also get its desired recognition’.

Reliving is relieving: Newtons
According to Dr Laxmi Newton, who along with her husband, Dr Kondaveti Newton, has been practicing Past Life Regression Therapy in Hyderabad (both are medical graduates of Kurnool Medical College, AP) since 2000, their ‘method’ helps pinpoint the root causes of problems.
“For instance, if an adult has a problem of low confidence/ low self-esteem, to find the ‘root cause’, the Regression Method would be suitable,” she said.“In many people, problems of stress, migraine, low self-esteem, dysfunctional relationships, etc., may have their origin in childhood or previous births,” she explained, pointing out that a child often criticised by parents as good for nothing, etc., would eventually grow up with low self-esteem.
Citing the recent case of a patient, she said that the victim ‘showed symptoms of asthma, i.e., breathlessness. “He also had hydrophobia (fear of water),” she said, disclosing that through Regression Method, later, they discovered that he ‘had died due to drowning in his past life’.“Through hypnosis, once you make them relive the same pains/ agony and help them relieve those suppressed emotions, the problem is solved,” she claimed, acknowledging that all medical problems do not have such solutions.
