Having trouble entering a past life is rare, and I have several backup plans ready if it happens. If you are blocked or struggling to regress, I set the past life work aside and move the session into another hypnosis process such as Parts Therapy or Gestalt Therapy, and those approaches tend to bring up rich material of their own. I can also use alternative entry techniques like travel in your imagination, the infinite pool or the sphere of possibilities to establish a direct connection with your spirit guides or your Higher Self. Either way you still receive a full, deeply healing session. In my experience the session goes where it needs to go, and a different doorway often turns out to be the right one for you.

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.

Parts Therapy and Gestalt Therapy are hypnotherapy techniques I use to settle internal conflicts while you are in hypnosis. They come into play when different parts of your subconscious are pulling in different directions, say one part of you that badly wants to succeed in business and another part that holds you back out of fear. Instead of fighting those feelings, I guide the parts to speak to each other, voice their concerns and negotiate an agreement they can both live with. Clients often tell me the tug of war eases once each part has been heard. The aim is to integrate your mind so you can move forward with more self trust and less second guessing.

After a session, you may feel deeply relaxed, peaceful, and perhaps a bit tired. It is common to experience a shift in perspective and a greater sense of clarity about your life. The insights gained during the regression often continue to unfold over the following days and weeks. I always recommend taking some quiet time for reflection after our work together, allowing the profound wisdom of your soul to fully integrate.

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.

What I have seen in sessions is that gratitude is one of the foundations of emotional and physical healing, and gratitude for yourself matters most. During sessions, guides often point out that a client is generous with love and gratitude toward everyone else while holding it back from themselves, and that leaves a person feeling empty and without purpose. When you actively cultivate gratitude for your own soul, your body and the resilience that got you this far, you line up with the frequency of unconditional love. In my experience that shift lets emotional blocks loosen, and clients often tell me their body feels different too, calmer and more at ease. Start with yourself. The rest tends to follow.
