Regression to Cause is a foundational hypnotherapy technique for finding the initial sensitizing event, the very first moment behind a current block, fear or unwanted habit. It builds a bridge backward in time and follows the feeling to where it began, and that can be earlier in this life or in a past life. The details of the event are not the important part. Discovering the emotion is. Once we are standing at the origin we resolve it there, and in past life work that origin is often the lifetime where the whole pattern started. Finding the true source is what makes the release hold.

You can still have a full, rich session seeing only black or grey, because you do not need to see anything like a movie. Some of my clients see vivid pictures. Many more experience the past life through impressions, feelings, sounds, or a deep sense of knowing, which is especially common for regular meditators. If you hit a wall where everything is dark, I have ways around it. One of the simplest is asking you to tell me what shoes are on your feet, even if you have to make it up. What typically happens is that the small detail opens the door and the memories start flowing on their own.

A past life imprint is a detailed spiritual memory of an Earth lifetime that does not actually belong to your own soul's history. In my experience, some people are Starseeds or new souls who have never incarnated on Earth before. Because they lack the human experience needed to adapt to Earth's heavy physical density, their spirit guides may give them an imprint of another soul's life to serve as a supportive baseline, a bit like a starter map for living here. In hypnosis I can help you tell the difference between your actual past lives and these helpful imprints. Both carry value. Knowing which is which simply gives you a clearer picture of your own soul's journey.

Difficult family relationships often go back to a plan your soul made before you were born. Our souls arrange family connections ahead of time, and they often set up challenging scenarios on purpose so we can learn something crucial like forgiveness, boundaries or self worth. A soul that needs to learn forgiveness, for example, may ask a close member of its own soul group to play the antagonist or the mean one in this life. That is a big favor to ask, and it is usually done out of love. When you recognize these pre birth agreements for yourself in a past life regression or QHHT session, many people find they can look at a hard relationship with compassion instead of anger.

Forgiveness in this work means taking your own power back, and it has nothing to do with saying what someone did was acceptable. Refusing to forgive is like drinking a glass of poison and waiting for the other person to die. It only harms you. Forgiveness of self can create powerful healing as well. Forgiving another person, or yourself, while you are in a deep hypnotic state is a different experience from trying to do it with your everyday mind, because the analytical mind is out of the way. What my clients typically report is that trapped emotions like anger and hate finally have somewhere to go, and what replaces them feels like peace and compassion. In my experience that release is one of the most healing things that happens in a session. I never tell somebody they have to forgive. I give you the opportunity, and if you feel it, if you mean it, if it is authentic, then we find a way to express it in the session, while you are in hypnosis, not to their face. If you just say it because I told you to and you do not mean it, it does not mean a thing.

Normal daily medication has not stopped my clients from going into hypnosis. Hypnosis is a natural brainwave state your mind already visits every day, and people arrive at sessions on all kinds of prescriptions and still go deep. You keep taking whatever you are prescribed exactly as you normally do. On the rare occasion that a session is interrupted or does not get going the way we want, my policy is simply to stop and reschedule another session at no extra charge, so there is nothing to lose by giving it a try. If you have any concern about your particular situation, bring it up on the discovery call and we can talk it through together.
