Heather Fritz Photography About the Author Douglas De Long is a spiritual/personal counselor, past-life therapist, and chakra master. He has studied and developed his own psychic abilities and spiritual growth for over twenty-five years. Born with the ability to see human auras, chakras, spirit guides, and angels, Douglas was always reading books about psychic and metaphysical subjects. But due to the nature of his stepfather’s profession, he and his family traveled for many years and his psychic abilities started to close up from lack of use. It wasn’t until after a near-death experience at the age of nineteen that he reawakened his childhood gifts. Through numerous life lessons and years of metaphysical studies, Douglas was able to enhance his abilities and create a unique course that he has been teaching for more than fifteen years. In the past quarter century, he has regressed close to 1,500 individuals and students. He has been guided to put his knowledge and channeled teachings into book form in order to help people open up and develop their innate abilities. Douglas De Long and his wife, Carol, reside in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where they own and operate the De Long Ancient Mystery School. For more information, please visit www.douglasdelong.com.

I have Fregressed more than a thousand individuals during that time. Through it all I have met many unique characters who have explored their respective past lives and blessed me with the opportunity to help each of them on their own spiritual journeys. My wife, Carol, and I founded the De Long Ancient Mystery School in Saskatoon, Canada, almost fifteen years ago. It was our intention then, as it still is now, to help others awaken their true psychic and spiritual potential within. We teach psychic development classes and ancient healing techniques, and provide spiritual counseling and energy healing for people in the area. Past-life therapy has always been one of the many services that is provided through our unique school. People have come from far and wide to take our classes and to explore their past lives through therapy. I have used my reputation as an international author to promote our school along with the services that we provide. We have traveled throughout Canada and the United States in order to reach and teach people seeking to explore their gifts and enhance their spirituality. Reincarnation has always been one of the most fascinating subjects that many of our students and clients show intense interest in. Exploring a previous lifetime is one of the most powerful tools that can be used by someone to understand their true self. Between radio and television interviews, book signings, article writing, and teaching classes, I have been able to work at what I love to do. I strongly believe
