Hypnosis feels like the natural state you pass through right before falling asleep, when you are neither fully awake nor fully asleep. Here is how I describe the brainwave states to my clients. Beta is your active, conscious waking state. Alpha is light meditation or light hypnosis. Theta is the deep trance where past lives are accessed, often accompanied by fluttering eyes. Delta is deep sleep or profound trance. Unlike sleep, where your conscious mind switches off, in hypnosis and meditation you remain fully aware of your surroundings. The difference between the two is direction. Meditation is about stillness, while hypnosis is active and goal oriented, with a conversation running the whole time.

It can happen, especially if you put down too many questions. A page to a page and a half is really the best limit. I do not give a number, but do not write in a tiny font to squeeze more in, because what happens with too many questions is the answers start repeating. The questions might be different, the answers start to repeat. Here is the thing though. I do not work by the clock, and I leave a pad at the end of my session. I had a Quantum Healing Hypnosis session recently where we talked longer than usual up front because she needed that, she was starting to get tired, and we did not get to her questions at all, so I invited her back for a follow up session at no charge to get to them. Typically we do get to the most important questions. Put yours in priority order with the important ones at the top. I will not always ask them in that order, because what I have learned over the years is that the big questions get a better answer once we have rapport going with spirit, with your higher self or your guide. So I might hold a big one back until that rapport is established, and if I skip your first few questions, I will come back to them.

Yes, fluttering eyelids are a very positive sign during a session. It looks similar to the rapid eye movement of dreaming sleep, and it is a natural physical indicator that your brain has shifted from the active, conscious Beta state into the deep Theta brainwave frequency. I watch for that flutter as valuable real time feedback. It tells me you have moved past your logical thoughts and entered the level of deep trance where the past life work happens. So if you notice it happening, let it. My clients often mention the flutter afterward, and I tell them it was the moment I knew we were in exactly the right place.

Recurring dreams of combat or fighting are often your subconscious trying to process unhealed past life trauma, or a parallel lifetime, while you sleep. Sometimes that spills over into intense physical sensations or waking up exhausted. In hypnosis we can go into those recurring dream scenes safely, locate their original source, understand what they are trying to tell you and find emotional closure. Once the subconscious has done that work, it tends to let go of the protective loop it has been running at night. Clients who came to me with dreams like this often tell me their sleep became peaceful again. Your dreams are trying to get your attention. A session gives them somewhere to be heard.

You do not need to deliver eloquent descriptions for this to go well. There is no right or wrong way to experience trance, and once the analytical mind steps aside, words come more easily than you expect. I keep my questions gentle and open, things like what do you notice and tell me more, and I let your impressions come out at their own pace. It is a collaboration rather than a performance. Quiet and anxious clients typically find they feel comfortable within a few minutes and share their journey just fine, and some of the richest sessions I have facilitated came from people who barely said a word in everyday life.

I prefer to clearly see your face and your chest rise so I can monitor your breathing and confirm you are in trance rather than drifting off to sleep. If the camera angle or the connection makes that hard, I have a reliable backup. I ask you to count backward from three to one out loud. That simple conversational check lets me hear the tone, pacing and emotional depth of your voice, and those tell me clearly that you are in a safe, deep state of hypnosis. It happens without interrupting your experience at all. Between the camera, the count and the ongoing conversation we keep through the whole session, I always have a good read on where you are.
