Pete Smith is a trail blazer in the field of human consciousness. He founded the Institute for Quantum Consciousness to embrace the synchronicities between some of the core principles of Quantum Physics and expanded states of awareness. His last book “Quantum Consciousness – Journey through other realms” documents the philosophies, methodologies and case studies behind the Quantum Consciousness Experience, an out of body journey that embraces Alternate Realities, Parallel Lives and Interdimensional Consciousness.
Pete was president of the Michael Newton Institute (MNI) for ten years and has trained many of the practitioners around the world. In 2013 he was awarded the Peggy Newton Award, MNI’s highest accolade, for outstanding service to the organisation. He continues to serve on the MNI Advisory Council. He is a contributing author to Memories of the Afterlife, The Little Book of LBL and Wisdom of Souls and is a much sought after speaker in the field of consciousness beyond the body.
He previously created the Hypnoenergetics® modality, blending Hypnotherapy, Energy and Consciousness into a series of therapeutic techniques that have been life changing for many. He trained a network of therapists across Australia and New Zealand and his first book “Hypnoenergetics – The Four Dimensions” has reached audiences around the world. 
 He created the ‘Here comes the light – 2028’ discussion groups and the ‘Transcendence Adventure’, a self-paced program using meditative practices and channelled artwork by Peleven, designed to transcend mental health challenges.  He travels widely to champion the evolution of consciousness for humanity. Back home in Australia he balances his time between his own practice, mentoring the team that teaches the Institute's work, speaking engagements and writes periodically for a number of publications.
