What people usually notice is a pattern that has no explanation in this life. A fear of water or heights with no event behind it. A relationship that feels like it started long before you met. A strong pull toward a place or an era you have never visited, or a strong dislike of one. A talent that came so easily you have to wonder where it came from. Chronic tightness somewhere in the body that no one has been able to account for. I am not going to hand you a list and tell you what your signs mean, because I don't tell you anything, I ask you things. What tends to happen in a session is you start connecting dots and realize some of what is going on with you now is a memory, but instead of a memory from this life, it is a memory from another life. And you can let go of those connections.

An analytical, left brain mind, which I see often in engineers and software developers, is no barrier to hypnosis. To quiet that logical chatter I use a simple visual exercise I call the Ball. You imagine holding a ball, toss it up, and allow it to change into something different. It sounds almost too simple, but what it does is shift you from trying to analyze what is happening into simply allowing impressions to flow from your subconscious. Once that shift happens, the critical mind steps out of the way and my analytical clients access deep memories and knowings just as easily as anyone else. And here is something else about analytical minds. Engineers and programmers are often very creative people, using both sides of the brain, because engineers design things. I worked for 12 years as a programmer, so I can say from personal experience that writing software takes a combination of logic and creativity, and that combination makes an excellent hypnosis subject.

It can happen, especially if you put down too many questions. A page to a page and a half is really the best limit. I do not give a number, but do not write in a tiny font to squeeze more in, because what happens with too many questions is the answers start repeating. The questions might be different, the answers start to repeat. Here is the thing though. I do not work by the clock, and I leave a pad at the end of my session. I had a Quantum Healing Hypnosis session recently where we talked longer than usual up front because she needed that, she was starting to get tired, and we did not get to her questions at all, so I invited her back for a follow up session at no charge to get to them. Typically we do get to the most important questions. Put yours in priority order with the important ones at the top. I will not always ask them in that order, because what I have learned over the years is that the big questions get a better answer once we have rapport going with spirit, with your higher self or your guide. So I might hold a big one back until that rapport is established, and if I skip your first few questions, I will come back to them.

Intuitive downloads can come from within, and in my experience they are often messages sent straight to you by your Higher Self or your spirit guides. The message is usually getting through just fine. What tends to get in the way is our own analytical doubt, that habit of second guessing what we receive instead of trusting it. In a Quantum Healing Hypnosis session you can ask your guides directly about your intuition, and better access to it is one of the commonly asked questions my clients bring. So at the end of your session I teach you self hypnosis techniques you can use at home. You learn to settle into a relaxed state, go to a special place we set up during the session, and connect there with your guidance. Many of my clients find that with a little practice they start to communicate and receive clear signs on their own, and they come to recognize the intuitive talents they already had.

The womb regression is an important transition step in your session. While you were developing in your mother's belly, your consciousness was highly sensitive and absorbed whatever she was feeling. If she went through fear, anxiety or panic during that time, you may have carried those emotions into adult life believing they were your own. In trance I guide you to look at the womb environment and notice what was actually going on. Clients are often surprised to realize that a heavy feeling they have had all their lives belonged to their mother. Once you see that clearly, you can hand it back and clear it from your energy, and many people describe a real sense of relief.

A stubborn emotional block, a professional anxiety or a relationship pattern in this life often traces back to what hypnotists call an initial sensitizing event, or to a self protective contract your soul made in a past life. I use a technique called regression to cause. It guides you back to the exact moment that block or belief locked into place. Once you examine and understand the original situation, your subconscious gets to see that the old protection has done its job and can be set down. What tends to happen is that the contract releases, the modern block loosens with it, and clients often tell me they finally feel able to move forward with confidence.
