Yes, you can set a clear intention before we go into hypnosis to visit a specific period, place or culture. I will say that your soul, or Higher Self, ultimately chooses the past life that holds the most important lesson for your growth right now, and that may or may not match what your logical mind is curious about. Even so, a strong intention set during our pre talk acts like a compass. In my experience it often guides your subconscious straight to the lifetime you have been drawn to. So bring the request. We will state it clearly and then let your Higher Self lead.

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.

Yes, it is extremely common. Our souls incarnate across genders, nationalities, cultures and social classes to experience a rich, well rounded spectrum of lessons. In the hypnotic state people regularly discover lifetimes lived as the other gender. Experiencing these varied lives lets your subconscious mind draw on the wisdom of many perspectives. It also explains a lot of the unexplainable attractions people bring to me, that pull toward a specific culture, a style of jewelry, ancient pottery or a particular historical era. My clients often find the life they visit lines up with something they have loved for no reason they could name.

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.

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.

I cannot answer that specifically for you, because everyone is different, and that lifelong feeling of not fitting in is more common than you might think. It is one of the things people bring to a session as a question. I do not tell you where it comes from ahead of time, and I do not paint a picture during the session either. I ask you what you notice and let your own experience do the explaining. What I will say is that when someone finds the source of that feeling for themselves, the grief tends to lift, and settling into life here gets easier. The discovering is what helps, and it works best when every bit of it is yours.
