Other Lives, Other Realms: Journeys of Transformation
Reader Reviews
A very intriguing, well written read.
I found "Other Lives, Other Realms: Journeys Of Transformation" to be a very informative, satisfying and well rounded read on an intriguing subject. In a concise, uncomplicated manner, Karen Joy manages to keep such a intricate and sometimes complex subject (especially to newer believers such as myself) of past lives and past life regression compact and sensible (if spiritual matters can at all be referred to as such). I found it all easy to grasp, with a well ordered flow to it, from offering an introduction to what hypnosis is, to why people wish to regress and how it helps them to understand and answer questions pertaining to their current lives, further assisting them in making the most of their journey. Importantly, Karen also deals with the fear of death, and gives a bigger picture of what's going on, what it all means, and why we shouldn't freak out. Overall, a intelligent, non-threatening insight into a subject that newcomers and even perhaps healthy skeptics will enjoy.
A very interesting, informative and well written book
I'm a pragmatic person, having had to live a life based on facts, so this is an unusual subject for me. However because the author so eloquently illustrates her subject citing facts from both a multitude of individuals but interspersed with personal experience lends credence to her narrative. A very interesting, informative and well written book.
Nourishment for the soul!
I highly recommend this book written by Karen Joy. Other Lives, Other Realms- Journeys of transformation is a wonderful book. It is filled with wisdom and nourishment for the soul. Karen has a profound knowledge in psychology and hypnotherapy. She shares her in depth experience from taking many clients to Past life and Life between Lives hypnotherapy for soul regression based on the work of Dr. Michael Newton.

Wonderful book!
Very interesting, beautiful and wonderful book. I highly recommend it! Karen Joy explain difficult subjects in the most lovingly way.I am really looking forward to her next book on this fascinating subject.
Out of this world!
Karen Joy offers a most compelling review of her sacred Life Between Lives work. She not only is a gifted practitioner, but also a talented writer as she relates the soul histories that she has helped to reveal. A must-read for anyone interested in the work of The Newton Institute!
An easy read that left me wanting more experiences
I really enjoyed this book. I read it in about one day. I like the examples used and the way Karen delves into the life between lives as well as past lives. I wanted to and about more examples of other past life regressions and life between lives regressions.So it probably left me wanting more, and left me wanting to experience a regression for myself.
Insightful!
After reading all the Michael Newton books starting with Journey of Souls I came across Karen Joy though her co-authored Newton Foundation book: Little Book of Life between Lifes. Karen writes well and shares the experiences of some of her patients covering a range of topics. If you are interested to know about pre-birth planning and whether what happens to us down here is meant to be then read this book!
Good book on the subject.
A few years ago I did read the books of Michael Newton (Destiny of Souls and Journey of Souls) and was enthralled by them (i.e., I give them five stars). I wanted to . I then did read Memories of the Afterlife, but it was much less enthralling. It was accounts of persons regressed to the LBL by therapists trained at Newton institute. It added little information to Newton's two books. Then I found this book by Karen Joy, and wanted to also read it, because of the subject. I will say it's a good book (and well written), more interesting than Memories of the Afterlife, but for those who have already read Newton's books, it brings little new information, except maybe in the "Big Picture" chapter. I think that if you have read books on reincarnation, but not those of M. Newton yet, you could read this one first, before getting to DoS and JoS.
If you enjoyed "Journey of Souls" (by Dr Michael Newton), you'll love this!
It's been said that "we are spiritual beings having a human experience" -- but what exactly does this mean? In Karen Joy's book, "Other Lives, Other Realms: Journeys of Transformation", an incredible possibility emerges... One that describes, in intimate detail, how we are indeed spiritual beings having a "human" experience. An experience that, believe it or not, was conceived and agreed to before we were born into this lifetime! Furthermore, compelling evidence is presented indicating that our current lifetime is just one of MANY lifetimes that our spirit/soul has chosen to experience. Through case study after case study, Karen takes us on a fantastic and captivating journey into the world of "past lives" and "life-between-lives" experiences. Reading this book is truly transformational. I could not help but be moved to tears by some of the stories, which contain a surprising degree of consistency -- despite being told through more than fifty individual hypnotic regressions (involving a variety of people from different walks of life). Of particular interest are how concepts such as struggle and suffering in their various forms may be intentional, when viewed from the larger perspective of multiple lifetimes. Indeed, with an open mind to the possibility of past lives, we can apply new meaning to challenges involving our health, relationships, finances and other areas of life. It becomes apparent there is an underlying intention, or purpose, that goes beyond what we are able to understand with our normal level of conscious awareness. This thought-provoking book is an excellent example of "truth being stranger than fiction". It is compelling reading, and has altered my belief system in ways I personally have found empowering. I feel a new level of compassion and understanding towards others and whatever they may be dealing with. It has reduced my fear of death, and increased my trust that my life is unfolding according to the purpose I chose for this lifetime. Do I recommend this book? Absolutely!! Whether you read it simply feeling curious about past lives, or with a passionate interest towards this subject, this book is a pleasure to read and each case study helps build an amazing picture of how our lives are interconnected. It's also a great foundation if you are considering having your own past life regression. By the end of the book, you will have more certainty whether or not this is something you wish to experience.
Very wonderful book
This book is a comprehensive view of past life and between life regressions as experienced by a wide variety of patients. It is heartwarming, encouraging and possibly life-changing.
