Ricardo Mones’ journey from engineering to spiritual regression therapy is a testament to the power of personal transformation. Inspired by the works of pioneers like Dolores Cannon, Brian Weiss, and Michael Newton, he dedicated himself to guiding others through past life and Life Between Lives regression. In this interview for Mystic Mag, Ricardo shares his path to becoming a therapist, the profound impact of spiritual awakening, and how regression therapy helps people reconnect with their soul’s purpose.
What led you to transition from being an engineer to becoming a spiritual regression therapist?
My spiritual awakening was a gradual journey. It started when I realized that working on my inner world made it easier to resolve challenges in my life. Then, I came across the works of regressionists like Dolores Cannon and Brian Weiss. Their books resonated deeply with me, and my awakening continued to unfold. One pivotal moment came when I discovered Journey of Souls by Dr. Michael Newton. As I read it, I felt an undeniable inner calling, urging me to become a therapist.
It took several years of preparation before I was ready to pursue this path. I first earned my certification in spiritual regression from the Past Life Regression Academy in the UK, and a year later, I became certified in Life Between Lives therapy through the Michael Newton Institute. For a while, I balanced my career as an engineer with my therapy work. However, in 2020, I made the decision to fully dedicate myself to being a therapist and left my engineering career behind.
How has your spiritual awakening influenced the way you approach your work as a regression therapist?
On one hand, doing this work requires having previously worked on oneself to resolve various internal issues. On the other hand, if someone is not spiritually awake, they cannot truly understand or trust the processes that our clients will experience. As therapists, we must continuously progress in our own awakening so that we can help others more effectively. This is achieved not only through spiritual awakening, but also by staying updated on the evolving practices within therapy over time.
Can you share a memorable experience where one of your clients underwent a significant transformation during a “Life Between Lives” regression?
There is a beautiful story that led to a complete transformation. The Michael Newton Institute recently published a book containing 26 real-life stories of clients who underwent Life Between Lives sessions. My story was selected and featured in this book. The client in my story is a 55-year-old woman, a mother of three. She had a very difficult childhood. Due to her strong personality, she has poor relationships with those close to her, feeling that they are holding her back in her development. During the session, she wanted to understand the desires and purpose of her soul to focus on her mission in this life.
During the session, she displayed a high level of sensitivity and receptivity, which allowed her to easily enter the Spiritual Realm. She was amazed when she perceived herself as a bright light sending rays from her center. After some time enjoying her energy, the souls of her primary soul group came to greet her. They acknowledged that she had been struggling in her physical life but reassured her that they were there to support her and embraced her. She said, “With this embrace, my light is even stronger,” and also expressed, “I thought I was alone, but now I see I’ve never been alone.” She then conversed with the souls of some of the people she had suffered most with during her life. She realized that much of the drama in her life had been planned, and she understood why certain things had happened. The drama faded, replaced by clarity and an understanding of the difficult relationships she had experienced.
Her spiritual guide then appeared, and they began a long but significant conversation. Together, they reviewed her current life, and her guide helped her remember that the plan of her soul was specifically to overcome the challenges she was facing. Life had made her tough, both with herself and with others, which had cost her a marriage to a weak man and many conflicts with other people. Her guide reminded her that she had planned to become a strong woman, and through this strength, she would later learn to balance it with a new feminine sensitivity.
She could be internally strong to face her challenges but with a gentleness that would allow her to connect more harmoniously with those around her. Her guide helped her understand that she was in the difficult part of her plan, but now, with this remembrance, she would gain clarity on what she had planned and could align herself fully to improve her relationships and move forward with people, rather than against them. Her guide also reminded her that the spiritual awakening she was experiencing would complement her inner strength, enabling her to help others who may be going through similar difficulties. She had lived through these experiences herself, but soon she would be able to assist others in navigating them more smoothly.
By the end of the session, Mina had renewed her understanding of her eternal soul and its intention to evolve and progress. She had also gained a new perspective on her current life and difficult relationships. There was no longer any drama, only clarity and understanding of what had transpired in her life. Finally, she felt a deep renewal as she realized there was an inner part of herself that had guided her to become who she is today—a being made up of body, mind, and soul. Mina was not only completely renewed but reborn, as she now understood herself better, grasped her internal conflicts, and saw her life mission from a perspective that would also help others. Isn’t it amazing that someone can experience all of this through just one Life Between Lives session? I never tire of expressing my gratitude to the infinite energy, my spiritual and human guides, and Dr. Michael Newton for bringing this experience into my life. And finally I can say every session is very similar in the benefits that brings to the client.
What do you believe are the key benefits of connecting with spiritual guides and beings of light during regression therapy?
There are many benefits. For me, the most important one is that when you remember the plan of your soul for this incarnation, you can align your physical life with that soul’s plan. This creates a deep sense of motivation and enthusiasm for what you are doing in life. Drama fades away, the person stops being a victim, and they become fully responsible for their own experience. Another benefit is that, after the session, the channel of communication with the client’s spiritual guides opens much more. From that point on, the person can keep their intuition more open, feeling more supported and accompanied in their physical life. This brings them a renewed energy and a deeper focus on their current life.
For those considering becoming regression therapists, what advice would you give about following this path and its impact on their personal growth?
This is a beautiful work. Helping others improve their current lives from a completely spiritual perspective is truly a blessing. The most important thing for those of us who do this, is recognizing that we are a spirit in a physical body, here to experience and evolve spiritually. Understanding this is what is called spiritual awakening, and what we do in our work is assist people in their spiritual awakening. This not only benefits the individual but also the planet and the entire human or spiritual evolution.
Those of us who practice this, see ourselves as ambassadors of the spirit or the spiritual realm. We help people remember what truly matters, and through this, they can improve their current physical life, which in turn leads to the advancement of their soul’s development. There is no price for this work.
