Yes, soul family shows up in sessions all the time. We travel and incarnate with a soul group over many lifetimes so we can work through lessons together. The people closest to you today, a partner, a sibling, a parent, a close friend, were very often with you in earlier lives, though their bodies, genders and cultures may have been entirely different. During the review in a Past Life Regression or a Life Between Lives session, I help you connect the patterns, recognizing who your present day companions were in those past scenes and what shared agreements or karmic lessons you are working out together now. My clients often tell me this is what makes a difficult relationship finally make sense.

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.

Some people worry that being hypnotized leaves you open for something negative to come in. That is a religious view of hypnosis in general, the idea that when you are hypnotized evil spirits can move in and become a part of you. Here is my experience. I have never had that happen in a session. That is not what happens, and I do not know of anybody who has ever seen it. What I have had is people who bring something like that in with them, and if I discover it, and usually I do, I can help them release it. You are not going to leave with something you did not bring in, and you are not going to pick something up as a result of the session. I also wrap you in protective light at the start, your own light from your heart, and your guides are not going to let you go to something you cannot handle.

You can still have a good session with me. Over twenty years and well over three thousand sessions, I have found that going into hypnosis comes down to how the session is run. I customize every session in real time using my clinical hypnotherapy background, and I have multiple backup inductions ready if the first one does not settle you. I also use interactive dialogue to quiet an overactive mind, since a busy mind is the most common reason people feel they did not go under. Clients who told me they had failed before often tell me afterward that this time it simply happened. Come with an open mind and let me handle the rest.

I cannot answer that specifically for you, because everyone is different. That deep, hard to explain feeling of not belonging is something I hear from spiritually sensitive people, and I am careful not to hand you an explanation before your session. I would rather you discover where the feeling comes from than have me paint a picture in advance, because whatever you find needs to be yours. What I can say is that people who bring this feeling to a session tend to find something that makes sense of it, and once they do, the isolation starts to ease. Bring it with you as one of your questions, and we will let your own experience answer it.

After a session, you may feel deeply relaxed, peaceful, and perhaps a bit tired. It is common to experience a shift in perspective and a greater sense of clarity about your life. The insights gained during the regression often continue to unfold over the following days and weeks. I always recommend taking some quiet time for reflection after our work together, allowing the profound wisdom of your soul to fully integrate.
