Yes, they can. Ongoing stomach tightness, nausea, reflux or digestive trouble that nothing seems to account for is frequently a carryover from the way a previous life ended. Any kind of stomach issue in a past life, especially one that takes your life, can follow you into your current life as a kind of phantom trigger, the body bracing against something that is long over. In the session we look at that event in the hypnotic state and separate the old injury from the body you have now. Clients often tell me the symptoms ease once that separation is made, and many describe their body finally settling down. It is one of the more common things I see in sessions.

Michael Newton wrote Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls, the books that introduced Life Between Lives hypnotherapy to the world, and the institute that carries his name still trains and certifies LBL practitioners today. Life Between Lives is the name he gave to deep hypnotic work centered on the period between incarnations, what your soul does after one life and before the next. I found out in 2007 that he was coming out of retirement to teach, and I made sure to be there. I traveled to Chicago that year to train with him, and that training is when I decided to specialize in spiritual hypnotherapy. I later served as a teaching assistant for LBL training, spent time with Michael at the Newton Institute strategy meeting at San Damiano in 2011, and returned there for LBL teacher training in 2014. The full story is in the Teachers and Influences section of my blog.

The honest answer is that this work has limits, and it is better you know them up front. It is not always a visual experience, and some people with very analytical minds need a little extra help getting out of their head. Things can come up that happened in a past life that are uncomfortable, and if you do not deal with them during the experience, it is possible that they may linger, which is why it is best to have somebody working with you instead of going it alone with a recording. The problem with a recording is you cannot interact with it. Preparation matters too. I have rescheduled a session rather than rush someone through it unprepared. What I can tell you is that you are in control at all times, and your guides are not going to let you go to something you cannot handle.

No, I do not read from a script. There is a term, Scripnosis, for a hypnotherapist reading a generic pre written script word for word to a client. I avoid that approach because a canned script cannot respond to your unique personal issues and what your subconscious needs in the moment. My sessions are interactive and client centered. I listen closely to your words while you are in trance and create custom suggestions in real time based on what you say. That is also how I teach my students to work. The result is a session built around you, shaped by your own language and your own experience rather than a page of text written for someone else.

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.

Feeling stuck or disjointed during a time like this usually means your old identity is shifting and you are starting to perceive reality beyond the physical, and the ground moves under you for a while. In a Quantum Healing Hypnosis session we connect with your Higher Self or your spirit guides and ask directly. What comes back are clear, actionable downloads that explain why these transitional obstacles are showing up and what your purpose is as you move forward. Once you understand what the shift is doing, my clients typically find the anxiety eases, the old energies are easier to release, and they can step into a more integrated version of themselves rather than sitting in the in between.
