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, I teach every client self hypnosis right before bringing them out of trance. I guide you to establish and anchor a special place, a beautiful, personalized inner sanctuary such as a garden, a beach or a mountain waterfall. Then I give you a simple countdown and breathing trigger that lets you return to that deeply relaxed state at home whenever you want. The practice trains your mind to quiet its logical, analytical thoughts, and that is what makes it easy to comfortably connect, communicate and receive clear intuitive guidance from your Higher Self and your spirit guides on your own. My clients often use it for years afterward as a way to keep the conversation going.

A Past Life Regression focuses on exploring a specific previous incarnation. A Life Between Lives session goes further. It does include a brief past life experience as a starting point, but the primary focus is on exploring the spirit world, where you have access to the full tapestry of your past lives, your soul group, your spirit guides, and a deeper understanding of your current life purpose. An LBL session is typically longer and works best when you have already experienced a Past Life Regression, as that foundation helps you reach the depth of trance the work requires.

Yes. Positive talents and abilities from past lives, things like writing, teaching, music or healing, are carried forward in your soul's cellular memory. One client of mine had always been drawn to flying, and on his very first lesson he could handle the plane by instinct, because he had been a pilot in a previous life. When we access those lifetimes in trance, I ask your subconscious mind to bring those positive talents forward with you. What tends to happen is that abilities you have barely touched become easier to learn and to amplify, and clients often find themselves using them in their careers or creative work in ways they had not expected.

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.

I feel that I connect with my own guides, as well as others in spirit, during sessions, and one way I do that is through my pendulum and sometimes muscle testing. I cannot say for sure where the answers come from. It may be my guides, your guides, the Masters of Light I have written about on the blog, or another guide who is a guide to one of your guides, but there is a connection, and the answers come. During an active session they let me quickly double check information, verify the exact identity of the spiritual guides or attachments present, and confirm that an energetic block, a negative contract or an earthbound soul attachment has fully cleared before we move forward. Think of it as a second line on the phone. The answers come through your voice first, and these tools give me a fast, reliable way to check them.
