Yes. I work with nicotine and behavioral habits regularly. In my experience the physical part of a nicotine habit passes within three to five days. The real hold is the program between your ears, the one that links the habit to specific anchors, like reaching for a vape the moment the phone rings. Hypnosis lets us step past the conscious mind and find the emotional trigger, or sometimes a past life contract, that has you reaching for it in the first place. When that original emotional seed is cleared, the craving tends to lose its grip, and I replace the old anchors with healthy ones before we finish. Many of my clients are surprised at how little effort it takes once the trigger is gone.

Well, I guess the session will be over pretty quick. Here is the thing. There are two times when people tend to fall asleep. One is at the beginning, while I am taking you into hypnosis, which typically runs 20 to 25 minutes. The other is at the end, when I am teaching you self hypnosis so you can put yourself to sleep and sleep through the night, and some people take me literally right then. I have learned how to tell, and how to wake people up, even online. I have you take a deep breath throughout the session to help you relax, and if I say take a deep breath and you do not take one, either you have zoned out or you have gone to sleep. And once we are visiting the childhood, the womb and the past life, we are having a conversation. If you are asleep, you are not going to talk to me. So it is not really a problem. Speaking of sleep, many people tell me that after their session they get the best night's sleep they have had in a long, long time.

Dolores Cannon developed the Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique, known as QHHT, over decades of guiding sessions. Her approach begins with a past life experience and then makes space for a deeper conversation with what she called The Subconscious, her term for a level of awareness beyond ordinary conscious thought. I began studying with her in July 2008 in Fayetteville, Arkansas, after three different people independently told me my work sounded like hers, and I kept returning to study with her for the next four years. I had already been doing hypnosis for five years before I took her first class. As I tell my students, I have taken what I learned and made it my own. The full story of my years with Dolores is in the Teachers and Influences section of my blog.

Yes. Positive talents and abilities from past lives, things like writing, teaching, music or healing, are carried forward in your soul's cellular memory. One client of mine had always been drawn to flying, and on his very first lesson he could handle the plane by instinct, because he had been a pilot in a previous life. When we access those lifetimes in trance, I ask your subconscious mind to bring those positive talents forward with you. What tends to happen is that abilities you have barely touched become easier to learn and to amplify, and clients often find themselves using them in their careers or creative work in ways they had not expected.

I feel that I connect with my own guides, as well as others in spirit, during sessions, and one way I do that is through my pendulum and sometimes muscle testing. I cannot say for sure where the answers come from. It may be my guides, your guides, the Masters of Light I have written about on the blog, or another guide who is a guide to one of your guides, but there is a connection, and the answers come. During an active session they let me quickly double check information, verify the exact identity of the spiritual guides or attachments present, and confirm that an energetic block, a negative contract or an earthbound soul attachment has fully cleared before we move forward. Think of it as a second line on the phone. The answers come through your voice first, and these tools give me a fast, reliable way to check them.

Normal daily medication has not stopped my clients from going into hypnosis. Hypnosis is a natural brainwave state your mind already visits every day, and people arrive at sessions on all kinds of prescriptions and still go deep. You keep taking whatever you are prescribed exactly as you normally do. On the rare occasion that a session is interrupted or does not get going the way we want, my policy is simply to stop and reschedule another session at no extra charge, so there is nothing to lose by giving it a try. If you have any concern about your particular situation, bring it up on the discovery call and we can talk it through together.
