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.

It can, and it is a valid thing to explore. Dealing with generational or ancestral trauma is not something I always bring up, but it is something you can bring up in your questions, and we can tap into those insights, even if you do not know whether there is something there or not. The main thing we are working with in every session is how the past life impacts your life today, how the events, the situations, the choices and the decisions made in a past life impact the current life. If that happens to involve generational or ancestral trauma, it is possible it could come up during the past life part of the session, but chances are this will be more of a question in a Quantum Healing Hypnosis session, or maybe a Life Between Lives. Sometimes a client even discovers they were their own relative in an earlier generation, and there is a separate answer about that on this site.

That question comes up quite often in discovery calls, and my answer is that the validation comes from you, not from me. When the information comes up, it enters your imagination so you can put it into words, so it can seem like you are making it up. If it feels like you are making it up, here is what you do, keep making it up. Don't fight it. After you open your eyes, I will ask you, do you think you made that up, and we will have a conversation about it. I talk about this in the preparation video as well. Here is something else. What about dreams? Do you just make up your dreams, or where do those come from? When you experience something in a past life and there is a change that goes on in your life today, that is the icing on the cake. And if it is not real, I call it more metaphor. There is still something there for you to learn.

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.

This is one of the most powerful questions I have added to my list of commonly asked questions, and the answers rarely focus on material success, wealth or professional status. When clients pose it to their Higher Self or guides during the question and answer segment, the guidance typically directs them to look back from the end of their physical lifetime and evaluate their soul level progress. Seen from there, the most significant achievements are typically revealed to be your spiritual growth, learning to practice unconditional self love and the deep, loving connections you shared with others. Clients tell me this answer reorganizes their priorities more than almost anything else that comes up in a session. The full list of commonly asked questions is on the QHHT preparation page, under Sessions in the menu.

They hold a high bar, and you formally apply rather than simply signing up. They look for at least 200 hours of formal hypnosis and regression training, hypnotherapy and past life regression training completed through an approved instructor, and real experience in the chair. That last one is the part people underestimate. They want one to two years of active practice and at least 40 documented past life regression sessions with your own clients before you enroll. My courses are approved to satisfy those prerequisites, and I will be honest with you about where you are on that road whenever you want to talk it through.
