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.

Hypnosis feels like the natural state you pass through right before falling asleep, when you are neither fully awake nor fully asleep. Here is how I describe the brainwave states to my clients. Beta is your active, conscious waking state. Alpha is light meditation or light hypnosis. Theta is the deep trance where past lives are accessed, often accompanied by fluttering eyes. Delta is deep sleep or profound trance. Unlike sleep, where your conscious mind switches off, in hypnosis and meditation you remain fully aware of your surroundings. The difference between the two is direction. Meditation is about stillness, while hypnosis is active and goal oriented, with a conversation running the whole time.

Yes, in my experience a mother's intense emotions during pregnancy can leave a deep energetic imprint on the baby in the womb. One woman I worked with had carried an underlying anxiety her whole life and could never trace it to anything in her own story. When we revisited the womb in the hypnotic state, she found her mother in a state of constant fear and survival mode while pregnant, because her parents had recently fled the Holocaust. Once she could see that the fear belonged to her mother's history and not to her own modern body, she was able to separate the two and release it. Clients often tell me that kind of relief runs deep, because the anxiety finally has a source and a place to go.

No, your future is not set in stone. The way I understand it, you take part in a planning process before you are born. Your soul chooses your parents, your body and the main lessons you came here to learn, things like compassion or patience. What I have seen in sessions, though, is that this plan is a high level outline of major milestones rather than a minute by minute script. Once you are here, you have full free will. When you reach a crossroads in life, your choices decide which way you go, so what lies ahead is a set of probable outcomes rather than one fixed destiny. The plan gives you the big picture. How you walk it is up to you.

Intense, irrational likes and dislikes are very often carryovers from previous lives. An obsession with the Victorian era, a strong aversion to a particular culture, a refusal to watch anything medieval like Game of Thrones, these tend to have a story behind them. Your soul carries cellular memories of where you have lived and how you died. In my experience an obsession usually points to a comforting lifetime where you were happy and fulfilled, while a severe aversion typically marks a past life of real suffering in that region or era, imprisonment, trauma, or a hard death. A regression lets you go back and discover where the feeling comes from.

Connecting with your Higher Self is part of the Quantum Healing Hypnosis session, and it is one of the most natural parts of the work, typically from your very first one. To prepare, you write a list of the personal questions that matter most to you. Once you are in a deep hypnotic state, the Theta brainwave frequency, your logical, analytical thoughts step aside. Then I speak directly to your Higher Self and ask it to answer through your voice, or to deliver sudden, clear knowings. Clients often say something like "this just popped in my head," and that is exactly it. What you end up with is an open line of communication and clear spiritual guidance on the questions you brought. The video on the QHHT preparation page, under Sessions in the menu, goes deeper into this connection and is worth watching before your session.
