Keep your list to one page, a page and a half at most, and group the questions by category such as physical health, relationships and life purpose. The question list is at the heart of the method Dolores Cannon developed. The most important thing is how you phrase them. Ask How and What questions rather than Why questions, because why questions do not provide you with the answer you are really looking for from your Higher Self. What do I need to do to improve my career gets a practical, actionable answer. Focusing your questions on action and resolution is what draws out the deep, useful answers my clients come away with. The commonly asked questions on the QHHT preparation page, under Sessions in the menu, give you an idea of what you can ask. They are examples only, and your list should be about you and your situation.

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.

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. I wrote more about the most common patterns in Five Signs Your Soul Has Been Reincarnated on my blog.

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.

Wanting reassurance that you are on the right path is one of the most common reasons people book a session with me. In my experience, the setbacks, the confusion and the stretches of feeling lost are often part of the plan your soul made before you were born, placed there to teach you specific lessons. In a Quantum Healing Hypnosis session you connect with your Higher Self or your spirit guides, and they help you understand the spiritual purpose behind those obstacles. They rarely hand you a simple prediction. What they tend to offer instead is clear validation that you are exactly where you need to be to learn the lessons you chose, which many people find far more useful than a forecast.

Repetitive conflicts or intense struggles with your partner are often structured on a soul level to trigger necessary growth. Before birth your souls agreed to incarnate together to help each other resolve old karmic patterns or learn lessons such as compassion or boundaries. In the hypnotic state you can trace the conflict pattern back to its original past life cause. Realizing that the ancient struggle belongs to a previous incarnation helps your subconscious release the current relational trigger, and what tends to happen is that the same old argument loses its charge. My clients often report more harmony and peace at home afterward, not because their partner changed but because the pattern underneath the fight has been seen and set down.
