EXCLUSIVE Jennifer Aniston's new man shares bizarre 'past life' revelation after being hypnotized on Maury
Jennifer Aniston 's new beau isn't just a hypnotherapist and spiritual healer, he also believes he was a Native American in a past life - something he discovered on national TV, Daily Mail can reveal. The Friends star, 56, recently confirmed her romance with hunky wellness guru Jim Curtis, after the couple were spotted canoodling on a yacht during a romantic getaway in Spain last week. The pair, who were reported to be longtime friends, are said to have bonded over their shared interest in spirituality and hypnosis - and dogs. Now, insiders have revealed that Curtis, 49, is an influential figure in the alternative wellness world, which began with his dramatic spiritual awakening in front of a live audience 30 years ago. 'Jim is a big proponent of past life regression and its healing potential,' a source told Daily Mail. 'He was invited on the Maury Povich show to do a past life regression with Dr. Brian Weiss, who is one of the pioneers of using past life regression as a therapy technique. 'That's when he discovered he was a Native American in a past life.' Curtis spoke about the bizarre experience during a recent appearance on Emily Fletcher's podcast, ' Why Isn't Everyone Doing This? ' in June. 'I was regressed into a past life, I don't know, maybe a year ago. The first time I was regressed into a past life was with Dr. Brian Weiss...,' he told the host. 'I became a student of his too and we went on the Maury Povich show and all these talk shows for it. Recalling the experience, he said: 'Yeah he hypnotized me, regressed me, and then [we] came and talked about it on national television.' 'I realized I was a Native American Indian. He took me back to the point of my death and I was killed. I was shot.' Curtis went on to explain that the encounter came about when he was only 20 years old, after he began dating a production assistant in New York who asked if he was interested in participating in the show. 'She's like, "you know, [Maury] is having this guy, Dr. Brian Weiss on [the show] and he needs people to hypnotize and regress into a past life, are you up for that?" And I'm like, "absolutely, I am!' he told Fletcher. Today, Curtis is billed as a transformational coach, master hypnotherapist, and author. Besides his work as a spiritual healer, he's also a big dog lover, another trait he shares with Aniston. 'Jim is probably one of the biggest animal lovers I know,' the source added. 'He's all about rescue dogs and that's what really sealed the deal with Jennifer. Their love for dogs. His dog Odie is pretty much with him 24/7. 'Let's face it, Jennifer hit the jackpot with Jim. What's not to like about him? He's a cool guy and down to earth. 'He's really well liked in the healing community. He's not a poser or arrogant like so many wannabes out there.' Daily Mail earlier this week revealed the lovebirds have been friends for several years but had kept it all very undercover away from curious eyes. 'All of their early dates were at her home in Los Angeles,' a source dished. That home is the actress's Bel Air mansion that she purchased in 2012 with ex-husband Justin Theroux for $21million. Aniston's interest in spirituality and wellness can be seen throughout her home, where she has an outdoor 'zen' area with a bubbling water pot and spiritual temple structure. She has also adorned the inside of her home with Buddha statues and other spiritual figures. Curtis is known to regularly posts inspirational quotes and 'manifestations' on social media. He is also the the author of, Shift: Quantum Manifestation Guide: A Workbook for Coding a New Consciousness and The Stimulati Experience: 9 Skills for Getting Past Pain, Setbacks, and Trauma to Ignite Health and Happiness. Jennifer - who has been following Jim on Instagram for the past few years - revealed in May that she was reading Shift: Quantum Manifestation Guide. And earlier, speaking to Travel and Leisure magazine, she admitted that she had been hypnotized to overcome her 'extreme fear of flying'. 'He is very spiritual and she loves to ask him questions about fate and karma. They bounce ideas off each other,' one source. Jennifer - who was previously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 until 2005, and then Theroux from 2011 until 2017 - sparked romance rumors after she was spotted with the life coach on vacation in Mallorca, Spain, during Fourth of July weekend.

I hypnotised MYSELF into a glow-up & quickly lost 2st without Ozempic – I just listened to tracks while sleeping
A STRESSED mum has shared how she hypnotised herself into shedding nearly two stone, getting over her paralysing fear of the dentist and finally finding love. Elle Kay suffered from severe pressure from her high-flying job managing millions of pounds as the head of service at work. 5 5 She had spent years battling her weight, as well as crippling anxiety over having her teeth fixed. Push came to shove when the now-41-year-old had a video call date with a man she fancied and felt self-conscious the entire time. To make matters worse, he unceremoniously ghosted her afterwards. This experience and a heart scare pushed Elle, from Ayrshire, Scotland, to try hypnotherapy. What started as an experiment soon turned into a full-blown obsession. "I used to be so self-conscious about my smile and my weight," Elle told What's The Jam. "When I smiled and talked, I would try and hide them so I didn't show the bottom as my teeth were stained and really crooked. I was conscious that the overlapping teeth pushed onto my bottom lip, making it even more obvious. "The date didn't even go ahead, we had a video call a few days before we were due to meet. "I was really conscious of my teeth the whole time, and I couldn't stop looking at myself on the camera, trying to find an angle that made me look better. "I thought I had been ghosted because of my teeth and my weight. 'No shortcuts exist' I'm an Irish teen who lost almost 60 pounds in 16 weeks following a routine that works wonders "I was also conscious of how chubby my face looked when I smiled, so I tried to keep my face straight as it was more flattering. [On dates], I always felt better if we were sitting at a table across from each other on dates, so I was hidden from the waist down. "I was unhappy in almost every area of my life and knew something had to change." Elle, who used to weigh 14.5st and was a size 18, found herself bingeing and stress eating every day. No matter how many apps or diets she tried, nothing seemed to work. She ended up in the hospital after being rushed in with a heart rate of 240bpm when a mental health nurse suggested hypnotherapy. She said: "I had a really stressful job, managing millions of pounds and hundreds of people. "Doctors discovered I had a heart condition called supraventricular tachycardia that was triggered by stress. I'm now on beta blockers, and I've been referred for a procedure on my heart. It's such a simple practice, you just put on headphones each day, and it really does make a difference." "This news, on top of my weight struggles and dental care issues, felt overwhelming. "While I was in the hospital, someone mentioned trying hypnotherapy to ease my mental health struggles, and I was just blown away. It sparked something inside me. "I ordered a few hypnotherapy books and started reading up on the theory behind it." Elle spent six months buried in books and recordings, studying the science of the mind and creating custom hypnotherapy tracks to rewire her thoughts. She said: "Before long, I'd signed up to study for a diploma. For six months, I threw myself into it, reading, doing assessments, diving into the material. "I could feel myself improving with each step. I even started recording hypnotherapy sessions for myself and listened back to them regularly." Elle began listening to self-made audio sessions every night, covering everything from emotional eating to her terrifying dental phobia. From there, the changes came thick and fast. With visualisation techniques, calming beats and subconscious affirmations, Elle reprogrammed her own mindset. She said, "Before going to the dentist, I'd listen to a relaxation audio the night before. That mental shift really helped me get through the appointments." According to Elle, a lot of the work focused on visualisation - imagining herself feeling confident and calm at the dentist. For weight loss she broke it down into different parts. "I'd repeat things like, 'It's powerful to stop eating before you're too full. I crave protein and healthy choices.' "Another part was about food preferences, I told myself I wanted light, healthy foods and that greasy foods made me feel bloated and uncomfortable. "It was all about shifting cravings, feeling full faster, choosing what actually makes your body feel good." After a £3,500 dental makeover and losing the weight she'd always wanted to get rid of, Elle can't stop smiling. She is now a qualified hypnotherapist and runs her own business. Elle said: "Hypnotherapy often gets a bad reputation, it's not something that's widely understood or used. "Even my own family were sceptical at first, but now they're genuinely shocked at how well it works. "It's such a simple practice, you just put on headphones each day, and it really does make a difference." Not only that, but Elle revealed she's now in a committed relationship with a woman, and they have plans to move in together. 5 5

‘No Tantra, no magic mushrooms': eHati founders deny un-Islamic practice claims
KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 — The founders of eHati International Sdn Bhd have denied allegations that their programmes promote teachings that deviate from Islamic principles. In a media statement, Diyana Tahir and Rahim Shukor said the accusations against them were based on viral social media posts that they claimed were misleading and unverified. They said several posts made by a Facebook account identified as Masyitah Ashari had triggered public criticism against eHati since July 2. 'We wish to clarify that we have never received any complaints from any participant regarding the content or implementation of our programmes,' the founders said. According to the statement, eHati denied claims that it incorporated elements from other religious rituals, such as Tantra, stating that its therapy modules were based on hypnotherapy, breathwork, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming. They said the modules were designed to support women in managing emotional and psychological challenges and did not conflict with Islamic teachings or social values. 'In or around November 2022, we attended a session with Jais to explain a programme we had conducted. After we gave a detailed explanation, Jais accepted it and informed us that the programme could continue,' the statement said. The founders added that they accepted Jais' advice to include a disclaimer to ensure participants clearly understood the programme's objectives. They further said that eHati's programmes do not undermine the role of marriage or the family institution and are intended to help women improve their relationships. The statement also addressed concerns about a drink promoted by the group, stating it was a blend of raw cocoa, honey, and natural spices, and did not contain any banned substances or 'magic mushrooms'. They urged the authorities to verify the accuracy of information from social media before issuing any statements or taking action.
