Keep your list to one page, a page and a half at most, and group the questions by category such as physical health, relationships and life purpose. The question list is at the heart of the method Dolores Cannon developed. The most important thing is how you phrase them. Ask How and What questions rather than Why questions, because why questions do not provide you with the answer you are really looking for from your Higher Self. What do I need to do to improve my career gets a practical, actionable answer. Focusing your questions on action and resolution is what draws out the deep, useful answers my clients come away with. The commonly asked questions on the QHHT preparation page, under Sessions in the menu, give you an idea of what you can ask. They are examples only, and your list should be about you and your situation.

Yes, it is a very safe and supportive process, particularly when working with a well-trained, qualified, and experienced past life therapist. Your subconscious mind is always protecting you and will only bring forward memories or information that you are ready to handle and process. I have been doing this work since 2003 and have guided thousands of clients safely through their spiritual journeys. You are in control at all times and can open your eyes and end the session whenever you choose.

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.

Those fast flashes are what some of my clients call fleeting images, so I use that term as well, and I can slow them down. Some of my clients are not especially visual, so a past life memory arrives as a quick scene that appears and vanishes, almost like a slide show. When that happens I use specific hypnotic suggestions that ask your subconscious to let the images settle and hold still long enough to look at. I also shift your attention away from your inner vision and toward what you feel in your body and your emotions, because those channels tend to be steadier. What typically happens is the scene stabilizes, and once it holds we can gather rich, detailed information from it just as we would from a vivid picture.

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.

Wanting reassurance that you are on the right path is one of the most common reasons people book a session with me. In my experience, the setbacks, the confusion and the stretches of feeling lost are often part of the plan your soul made before you were born, placed there to teach you specific lessons. In a Quantum Healing Hypnosis session you connect with your Higher Self or your spirit guides, and they help you understand the spiritual purpose behind those obstacles. They rarely hand you a simple prediction. What they tend to offer instead is clear validation that you are exactly where you need to be to learn the lessons you chose, which many people find far more useful than a forecast.
