As Mr. Scheinberg has evolved spiritually, he has chosen to devote more time and energy to professional development that is directly associated with what one may call “the life force”. This research has included a wide range of training involving mystical and energy practices that relate to life, love, karma, and overall mind-body health. These experiences include ancient and modern forms of meditation, prayer, hypnotism, chakra clearing, psychic development, angel communication, mediumship, remote viewing, and alternative healing modalities (Reiki and Reconnective healing). One of his most important retreat experiences to enhance his clinical repertoire of skills came in the form of training and certification in hypnosis for past life regression from the Dr. Brian Weiss Institute.
