Brian Weiss is the psychiatrist who wrote Many Lives, Many Masters, and many people who contact me say that book is what first made them wonder whether the fears, relationships and unexplained patterns they carry might have a story that reaches beyond this lifetime. His other books include Only Love is Real, Messages from the Masters and Same Soul, Many Bodies. I took a class with him in Austin in 2005 through an Omega Institute program, right after I started learning hypnosis. It was a large group, around 150 people, and watching him guide a group process made the work real for me. It was no longer only something I had read about. If Many Lives, Many Masters is what brought you here, you are in good company. The full story is in the Teachers and Influences section of my blog.

Because your imagination is the delivery system. We normally take in information through our eyes and our ears, and this is not like that. The information comes through your inner senses, it enters your imagination, and you use your imagination to translate it into words so you can share it with me, so it can seem like you are making it up. Here is the difference between this and a dream, and a friend and fellow regressionist puts it perfectly. In a dream your conscious mind is asleep, so if purple pigs fly by carrying blue umbrellas, you do not question it, you just let the dream unfold. In hypnosis your conscious mind is in the background observing, and it may object that pigs are not purple and they do not fly, especially not with blue umbrellas. Yet when a dream ends and you look at the imagery, there is always meaning in it. So say the first thing that comes to mind, keep making it up, and save the analysis for after the session. We will talk about it once you open your eyes.

Yes, a private, quiet room where you will not be disturbed is essential. I tell my clients to plan for both two legged and four legged distractions. A family member walking in, a phone ringing or a dog whining at the door pulls you right out of the deep theta state, so arrange childcare, ask your partner to handle whatever comes up in the house, and turn your phone off. If home is simply too busy, some of my clients stay at a quiet friend's house, sit out in their vehicle, or book a hotel room for the day. Whatever it takes to give yourself a few uninterrupted hours is worth it, because that privacy is what lets you go all the way in.

Start with either a Past Life Regression or a Quantum Healing Hypnosis session. Those are the two entry points, and either one gives you a solid foundation before you go after the deepest soul memories in a Life Between Lives session. Think of that first regression as training for your mind. It learns to translate subconscious impressions comfortably, you get used to connecting with spirit, and you build a baseline of experience that makes the later, deeper exploration meaningful instead of overwhelming. QHHT is the most popular first session with my clients. I suggest Past Life Regression mainly for people who already know they are headed toward Life Between Lives. Both start the same journey of healing and raising your vibration, and we can sort out which fits you on a discovery call.

I cannot answer that specifically for you, because everyone is different. That deep, hard to explain feeling of not belonging is something I hear from spiritually sensitive people, and I am careful not to hand you an explanation before your session. I would rather you discover where the feeling comes from than have me paint a picture in advance, because whatever you find needs to be yours. What I can say is that people who bring this feeling to a session tend to find something that makes sense of it, and once they do, the isolation starts to ease. Bring it with you as one of your questions, and we will let your own experience answer it.

Yes. My scheduling software is set up to offer 10 AM or later as the standard starting time, but that is a baseline rather than a rule. If you are working around a tight schedule, a job constraint, or kids who need to be picked up in the afternoon, I can easily override it. Here is how to do it. Book the regular 10 AM slot on the calendar, then send me a quick email or text asking to move the start to 9 AM and I will shift it manually on my end. That way your date is held and the earlier start is confirmed with me directly.
