You can, and I teach you how at the end of your session. Your guides are listening and sending messages all the time. The main thing in the way is the analytical mind asking whether the guidance is real. So before I bring you out of trance I teach you a self hypnosis anchoring technique you keep for life. When you practice it for a few minutes each day, the critical chatter quiets, you settle into a relaxed state, and you become able to receive and trust intuitive signs or direct answers from your guides. Many of my clients find this daily practice becomes the part of the session they use most, because it gives them an open line of communication that does not depend on having me there.

Yes, have your normal morning coffee or tea. If you drink caffeine every day, skipping it can give you a headache that makes it harder to relax, which is the opposite of what we want. Just keep it to a cup or two rather than the whole pot so you do not arrive jittery. A light meal beforehand is fine too. The one thing I ask is to go easy on water and other liquids right before we begin, so you are not needing restroom breaks while you are in trance.

It is possible. The problem is once you get in there, you tend to bring yourself out. I tried going to the spirit world on my own using a process called Ultra Height, which I learned from Gerald Kein, and when I got there it felt like my head was sticking up out of a rabbit hole, looking around at all this white. Then I thought, what do I do now, and the moment I started to think, I brought myself out. That is the challenge of navigating on your own. Figuring out what to do next pulls you out of the state. So rather than sitting down, closing your eyes and trying to go to a past life by yourself, I would suggest a recorded session or a group past life session. A recording is the least expensive, a group costs less than a one on one, and a group has a live energy that a recording does not have. I feed off of the people in the group just like they feed off of me. What makes the one on one session the most effective is the interaction, and that is what helps you bring more information out. Some people try a group or a recording first and use that to decide about a one on one, and in my experience the people who get the most out of a group are the ones who have already experienced a one on one session.

You can still have a good session with me. Over twenty years and well over three thousand sessions, I have found that going into hypnosis comes down to how the session is run. I customize every session in real time using my clinical hypnotherapy background, and I have multiple backup inductions ready if the first one does not settle you. I also use interactive dialogue to quiet an overactive mind, since a busy mind is the most common reason people feel they did not go under. Clients who told me they had failed before often tell me afterward that this time it simply happened. Come with an open mind and let me handle the rest.

Repeating the same difficult situation, whether it is a relationship pattern, an emotional block or trouble standing in your own power, is often a sign of a soul lesson that is still open. If your soul ran into that challenge in a past life and never fully understood or resolved it, the lesson comes around again in this one. In the hypnotic state we trace the pattern back to where it started in a previous lifetime. Once your subconscious recognizes the lesson underneath the pattern, something shifts. Clients often tell me that understanding the original source is what finally lets them resolve it and step out of the cycle instead of living it one more time.

Soul agreements, sometimes called soul contracts, are plans your soul made in the spirit world before you were born. Some of them are positive collaborations, and some are challenging arrangements you agreed to for a reason. One example I see often is a soul recruiting a close friend from its own soul group to play a difficult role in this life, maybe acting mean or standing in as an antagonist, specifically so you can learn something vital like forgiveness. During the past life review in your session I help you spot these agreements, and in a Quantum Healing Hypnosis session you can ask your higher self about them directly. Then you get to decide what to do with them. You can keep an agreement, change it, or actively cancel one that no longer serves you.
