Spiritual Awakening 101 Guide
Hello everyone, Welcome to our spiritual spotlight series. Today I am joined by Stephen Taule. He is a clinical and spiritual hypnotherapist and he is based in Scotland. He specializes in past life regression and I am so happy you're here today, Stephen.
Speaker 2:Hi Rachel, how are you doing?
Speaker 1:I'm doing okay, so let me just ask you this. So your expertise as a clinical and spiritual hypnotherapist is intriguing. Can you share a bit about how you found your path to specialize in past life regression?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was completely curiosity. I mean I was when I was a kid, I think even at 13, I must have saw. I saw hypnosis done on a. I think it was just a pretend thing, but it was a British wrestling and I think it was garbage, it was just all acting stuff. But I remember seeing it and going, wow, how did they do that? And then I guess about later, when I went to college, first book, I went away to look to find out how to do hypnosis. So in terms of the past life regression, again, I was as a kid. I was just really curious on everything to do with anything ghosts, aliens, unexplained stuff, phenomena. So I was just fascinated and I must have read about past life regression. And my first ever subject was my six year old brother. When he was well, I was about 17, about 30 or 30 years ago I did the past life regression on him and it brought up all this weird stuff, really cool stuff. So that was me kind of interested from now, that is so interesting.
Speaker 1:So, hypnotherapy, let me ask you this first did you, because, if you were introduced to this as a young age, did you find that you had like weird phenomenon experiences or moments where you were connected to divine and didn't know what that was?
Speaker 2:Not to the start, no, and even my work now I still see myself as a facilitator rather than the experiencer. So I mean I've had the sessions by myself, but at the early age it was just I was just fascinated with everything unexplainable. And I mean I even remember as a kid wondering why there was pyramids in Egypt and pyramids, and so I'm asking myself these questions when I was a kid. None of this makes sense, and so I was just a fast, I was just curious little boy.
Speaker 1:I like that. I like that. I'm somebody who's I've had to do a lot of studying and a lot of training to be able to kind of do my spiritual craft. So it's like it's. I like that. You're like no, I was curious and this is what I did. So with hypnotherapy, it's a fascinating tool for exploring the depths of the mind. How do you blend the clinical and spiritual aspects in your practice?
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was a. Well, I used to be an accountant. Believe it or not, I've been a musician as well. But when I sort of went full time with this, that was a big question. I asked myself how, if I'm doing to start with, to give you a background that was when I like I say it was all past life stuff that I did to start with. But I was really curious about how some people struggle a little bit with it. So I thought, well, maybe if I study more clinical and the therapy and have the hypnosis itself, I'll maybe learn a lot more. So that's what took me into the clinical and so it was really only to improve my skills.
Speaker 2:But then I've seen how, how brilliant it can be for helping people with all kinds of mindset stuff, limitations and phobias and fears and you name it anything. That's all you struggle with. This is this is working with a mind to help improve. So when I saw that I could do that, I got to this point where I was thinking, okay, how do I go out and do this as well as doing the past life regression and the between life stuff, which is the most spiritual part of it? And because, if someone's looking for to maybe over a few of spiders or something or a few of flying, some kind of thing like that they're going to. They're going to come find me and say what's all this about past life progression? Let's leave this guy. So that was.
Speaker 2:I was stuck there thinking how do I do this? But I realized to what everything is spiritual and helping people to overcome their mind. And that's who I am and that's what I do. I do, I work from a clinical perspective a lot of the time, but I also do all the past life and I don't really see a big difference in it Now. It's just that I guess when I work, I can work a bit more with a wider scope, encapsulating the spiritual element of it, and sometimes that spiritual element even comes into the most sort of people that you wouldn't even think.
Speaker 2:I mean, I've had some really high professional people that probably don't have any interest in spirituality. But here's some part of this this person within the session speaking saying what it needs to be done to help that person, and you're doing it. So to me it doesn't need to people indeed, I think it's all one and it's just the case of being who I am and doing what I do and helping people, no matter At the end of the day someone's trying to understand something or someone's trying to sort of go over some kind of forward. I don't think they care too much, as long as they get the results. So that's where I just see it now is it's all one thing really, and it's just about me being myself and doing what I do.
Speaker 1:I like that you actually work with clients that have phobias. I don't see where I am. A lot of people that work with phobias, so have you ever had a client maybe you can share like a transformational story where they had a phobia and now they're able to kind of, they overcome, came in?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean it's, I can explain how it happens. But and again, phobias can come from anywhere, but can be past life as well. It can even be current life. But I think I mentioned spiders is what I do sometimes and I remember one time coming to see me and she was absolutely terrified of spiders. So we have pieces for it and she's terrified of spiders to the point where it was so bad that she was in the house herself and she saw a spider. She would be in hysterics, screaming, hard to leave, run out the house and she would be panic attacks, phone and her dad to come away over to go and get rid of the spider or she can't get back into the house. So it was so extreme. But at the end of the other one session with her and I've got a garage outside, so I do I do most of my sessions online these days but this one was actually came to see me and took her out to the garage. I've got this bit that will work inside the spider webs everywhere and there's this big spider sitting on the spider web and she's standing looking at it and I say how do you feel? And she says this is someone who had been absolutely terrified and screaming before she said I don't think I want to touch it. I said I don't think I want to touch it either. I said but there you go.
Speaker 2:So it's just trying to change in the mind. That's what that is doing, is the mind is irrationally creating some response because some part of you believes that it's something that can be generational, where perhaps your parents or something, or your mother or father is maybe screamed at a spiral when you've been a kid and you then take on this belief, this unconscious belief, that that equals to something dangerous or something. No, no idea why, but unconscious level you call this fear. So that's what you're doing. You're trying to focus in hypnosis is focused, is focusing the mind to these parts of the mind that are in conflict with the other parts that are thinking why am I, the logical part of the mind that, why am I so terrified of this tiny little thing that, logically, you know that it's nothing to be scared of, but you know you're just part of your mind that is holding a belief and holding a behavior and a reaction. So it's just a case of letting the mind help itself by bringing these conflicts together and resolve the beliefs and so and so.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's just one example of yeah, that's a perfect example, though, like and I like how you say it like they have it in their mind that they know that it's kind of irrational, but they still have this fear of this thing, that it's little and small, like that's.
Speaker 2:that's a good way to put that, yeah there's lots of ways that some people look at it from the right and left brain, of logical via emotional, and the way that I work is it's a dentist, recognizing that there's a part of you that holds that belief, but there's another part of you that holds a different belief and it's and it's almost okay. Let's bring forward this part of you, that I speak to it, let's talk to it, let's look at what. How does it look to you? How does it appear to you? Is that feeling is a, and then you work with that to change it, because it's obviously stuck in an old belief system or a limited belief system, and that doesn't need to just be phobias.
Speaker 2:That can be anything that could be a. That could be somebody that's failing in business because they don't believe in themselves or limit beliefs about themselves. It could be somebody who is getting anxiety, that is social anxiety that can go among people. It can be really. It's just it's working with the mind to bring about better and better ways for it to work and to improve your life.
Speaker 1:So I have a question and this is I don't know how you this isn't part of my questions, but now I'm thinking of this. So I work in a very high stress job. I run a doctor's office and we frequently encounter people who are very angry and very upset and it can be very like emotionally taxing and very, very stressful. Would there be a role for maybe you know, hypnotherapy that can help you to not have those trigger reactions and maybe be in a more of a space of OK, this is OK and I'll be OK, and being calm?
Speaker 2:So is this the person being angry or the person has to manage the angry people?
Speaker 1:So the person like I saw I'm thinking of me. The person has to manage that anger, because where we are, people are very angry and it's a very like, it's a volatile environment and you try to look from a space of OK, we don't know what they're going through and we try to hold them in compassion, but it's getting to where you have compassion fatigue.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so that again, this is an interesting that there can be so many. So I guess it's to look at yourself.
Speaker 2:Yeah why is it that you allow these people to affect you and so many in those ways? So so it's like in, I Guess if they're really angry, then is it some part of you and I'm guessing right? This is the cool thing about having a therapy is you don't, I don't need to even know, you don't need to identify because you know and wait that they deep levels of the part view that are reacting to these right. So as a part of you that is Worried about people pleasing part, maybe. That is that suddenly someone's been angry and you're not pleasing that person, so you're suddenly feeling this emotional drain because you're worrying about this these people been angry about with you. That's that's one possibility that could be creating that fatigue. That so it's.
Speaker 2:It's been able to be confident in yourself and love yourself in some way. That that, no matter what other people say or doing. It's not always easy, because the vulgar stuff and to be in your own power and to be able to, and no matter what someone says or does, you can stand there and think, well, that's not my stuff, that's their stuff that's projecting on me and I won't take that stuff. So it's looking at the Our own limiting take, our limiting beliefs, our own parts of us that through probably life, through going up through that, are maybe playing themselves out in that situation.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's interesting. I'll be booking a session after this. So, being based in Scotland, land rich with history and mysticism, could you share any experiences or stories that highlight the profound impact of maybe some of your work has had on your clients, connecting them with their own ancestral realm and maybe with Scotland?
Speaker 2:Yeah, the funny thing is that most people that come With a hope that there was some life in Scotland seems to be always abroad. American people are Australian people and some things they do, and so I guess it's. I mean, it's this is the thing we can be, we can have. I suppose when it comes to past lives, we can have past lives anywhere. Yes, we don't need to be defined constantly to an area and but there are people that have experienced places within Scotland and Just as there's been Scottish people that have experienced place other, like different countries, and I mean Scotland is a Amazing country I love.
Speaker 2:I've lived here all my life. I actually have toured a bit. I actually have toured. I've been around quite a lot of places in the world, and that was in Japan one time and looking up at this gray, cloudy sky and thought this is, this is like Scotland. I've paid all this money to come all the way over here and this could be Scotland. I'm in and I've never actually toured my whole country and so next year, right around all the islands and the herds and the mountains, and it was one of my best holidays. It was just beautiful. So I'm probably going to digress off your question there.
Speaker 1:No, it's okay, I love it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's fine. So I think I mean, to me, scotland was something magical about Scotland. I don't know what it is. I see, if you actually look at the amount of people that have come out of Scotland, special people like John Logie Beard that invented the TV, there was. Who else has there been? There was Dunlop, the guy that invented the tyre. There was the radio as well. There was the guy that invented the radio can't remember, but there's a whole pile of like really creative and inventive people that you would be scared of when you actually look to see. There's a bit. We'll find it on the internet.
Speaker 2:If you look at famous inventors or something from Scotland, it's like the stuff that they made. What was it? So what's the thing related to electricity and things as well, but it's fascinating. So I think there's an energy in Scotland. There's something magical about this country that has a special energy and, like I said, if you head up, there's a place called Glen Co. It's just about two and a half hours from Glasgow and when you go up there, you drive in and it's just suddenly there's mountains on either side and as you're driving up, you're going through the Glen and you're just, you're going like this. Watch me, don't fly it. You're looking from side to side and it's just the scale of the mountains on either side and all the green, the really lush colour of green.
Speaker 2:And I was one time I went up the worst weekend ever lashing rain, gale-force winds and I thought what I booked a hotel up there somewhere and I thought what I waste my money. But I stopped at my favourite park, which was the Three Sisters. There was nobody there, but the atmosphere was electric. It was the winds and the wild rain. Waterfalls came off the mountains and I was just standing there and all I think in this is nature, the power of nature, and I just realised, no matter what the weather is, there's magic still in these places. So it's a cool country. I could talk to you all. I could probably do a podcast in Scotland and sit and talk to you all day about it, because it's a fascinating place.
Speaker 1:I mean, I will say that I know that I have a lot of people that really feel called to go to Scotland and I live in the States and it's interesting that they're like I have to go to Scotland, I have to go to Scotland, and it feels almost as if the country is calling them to come and visit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've had a lot of guesses in my mind. I think about what. I think there's some ties to ancient energies, of a lot. I'm a believer in that. There's been before our civilisations. It comes up through my work. Actually, you've heard of all these stories of Atlantis, la Muiria, all this stuff. So I'm a big believer that there's been ancient but civilised and probably advanced sort of cultures and like we were talking about. If you look at Aila Loose, for instance, there's the Calanee stones and these are a bit like Stonehenge but they're out in this tiny little island in the middle of nowhere. Again, they're like 6,000 years old and they're all aligned to stars and things like that and they're just thinking, well, why did they build them? Who built them?
Speaker 2:And I think at some point I mean even there's been. I know that even hundreds and probably hundreds and years ago there was a lot of monks that came and settled in Scotland and again, is it the energy that they're witnessing a little bit. That's a magical place. I think it's a cool country.
Speaker 1:I love that. I'm not biased, but Well, I mean, you bring up an interesting point about the energy, the energy of an environment, and if there are structures that were built, you know, 6,000 years ago, that are still intact, imagine all of that energy and all of those people and all of that experience is still carrying forward. I find that fascinating.
Speaker 2:Well, I've got this little idea. If you think about someone like thinking Jimi Hendrix or something, or John Lennon, or Van Gogh, bate Hoven, I think they were masterchannlers. I think what they've been doing they've been tapping into their creativity and when you look at them, they're not, they were never here, especially people like Jimi Hendrix. They're 27, I think, john Lennon 30 something, I think, or they'd be making it to 40, I can't remember. But they've all died young. But they've did what they had to come here to do. They've brought in beautiful music or beautiful art, beautiful paintings as well, but they've got the artists and I think what they're doing is they're tapping into a creativity, but they're tapping into, I guess, a source, a circuit. They're managed.
Speaker 2:I think what they're doing is they're bringing. I feel like they all, all these things, touch people. They make people happy, they make, so they're bringing, they're using their energy, their creativity to manifest something into being that brings joy and happiness to millions of people. And when we talked about all these famous people that have came out of Scotland, then again to me it's that Maybe that energy is maybe more accessible, maybe in some ways. So I think we're all, we can all access it, but maybe just for people it's, there's an energy here that makes it a little bit easier for people. I don't know, but that's fine. I've always thought things like that.
Speaker 1:That's amazing. So before I ask you the last question, if somebody's interested in booking a one-on-one session, what is the best place to reach you at?
Speaker 2:Probably my website, which is just wwwStevenTowellcom, and you can also find me on Instagram. So DM me on Instagram if you wanted to book a session as well, so they can find me there as well.
Speaker 1:And what's your Instagram handle?
Speaker 2:So Steven with a ph and TOWILILL underscore, so the little line that was underneath and at the therapy, so it seems to have a therapy. Yeah, I can't remember my Instagram, so, yeah, steventowell underscore at the therapy.
Speaker 1:So I guess my final question is that, for anyone that maybe is feeling like there's something missing and they're looking for Hmm I'm gonna say how I want to word this and they're maybe looking for a purpose or something, what is maybe some a piece of advice that you can give to them? So there, maybe they're going through a spiritual awakening, which I do feel. A lot of people right now are really turning towards the spiritual realm Because they're feeling lost and they're feeling lonely and isolated. What is maybe a piece of advice you can give to them?
Speaker 2:Yeah, the first thing at Popcent and I made this trust because you're being gated, you're being and, and if this path, if you've got a purpose, which I think you'll have, then you're being guided on this purpose. Here, the, the things that need to come in your life will appear and To test you to, to help you to grow. Okay, I mean that that's part of the session. I do, the between life session. A lot of people actually.
Speaker 1:That's you do life's between lives. Yeah oh Wait, no, no, we got to talk about that.
Speaker 2:I Can't, I'm sorry, yeah, so yeah, I mean that's what it's all about the life between life that comes from Dr Michael Newton stuff, but I call it between life's and because they've trained much it.
Speaker 2:So it's still the idea of connecting to gates, connecting to your Higher self, and to try and get that understanding and knowledge about who you are, what you are here for, what is Is it? Are you stuck in somewhere? Are you the blocks as the things need to be resolved, to try and kind of guide you on your way. So and but, like I said, the the biggest thing that comes out of a lot of those sessions is trust, because and it makes sense, it's if you come here as a soul to to go into learn through your life, and and it makes sense that it's, there's certain and we're sitting things put in front of you on your path that will, that will be there for you. Your lessons, basically your Opportunities to grow, will be put in front of you. You may dodge some of them, you may decide you don't feel conquered and skip it, or but there's, I think, with an alien set, what they're, which will Bring other opportunities to continue to allow you to, to follow your path.
Speaker 1:That is perfect. So, steven, I want to thank you so much for coming on the spiritual spotlight series. You are amazing and I look forward to talking to you again soon.
Speaker 2:No worries, it's been a pleasure. Thanks for having me. I.
