In a QHHT regression session, a young man delved into the past life of a solitary man living in the frontier days, nestled in the rugged mountains. Despite his considerable wealth, he led a modest existence, keeping to himself, which stirred jealousy among the townsfolk. One fateful evening, as he sat by the fire engrossed in a book, he heard unsettling noises outside his cabin. Investigating, he was ambushed by two assailants who swiftly bound and gagged him before sealing him in a barrel. With a brutal shove, they sent him tumbling down the mountainside to his demise. During the session, as the subject recounted this harrowing ordeal, he suddenly ripped off his microphone and rushed out of the room, overcome by nausea. His return revealed a scene of distress, with vomit staining the floor and his clothes soaked from the ordeal. The session came to an abrupt halt, but its impact was profound. About a month later, the subject made a remarkable discovery: the regression session had somehow healed his lifelong struggle with motion sickness by taking him to its origination. His Higher Self had revealed the root cause, offering closure and liberation from this ailment forever. Truly a testament to the transformative power of QHHT. In love and truth, Lori Lines

I recently encountered a unique QHHT client experience that offers important insights into personal growth and strength. This client envisioned herself as a tree, but with a new perspective than the last client who experienced herself as a city tree. Here’s her story and the powerful lessons it holds: A Tree in a Lush Landscape: She saw herself rooted in a vibrant, natural environment, far from the city’s hustle. Her roots reached deep into the earth, while her branches stretched high into the sky. She felt solid and grounded, part of a hive mind with other trees, communicating and thriving together. A Supportive Presence: She delighted in the life she supported—humans, animals, and insects alike. Her branches provided shelter, her leaves offered love, and her presence nurtured an entire ecosystem. She loved being a source of joy and stability. Facing the Elements: Despite her strength, she noticed she lacked protection from the elements, mirroring her feelings in her current life. Spring was her favorite season, symbolizing new growth and endless possibilities. The Unexpected End: One day, she was being chopped down. Surprisingly, she didn’t feel pain. Instinctively, she withdrew her energy into her roots. While the physical end saddened her for the ecosystem’s sake, she learned a vital lesson. Key Takeaways: Stillness and Endurance: She rediscovered the importance of stillness and resilience. Enduring life’s elements is part of the journey. Inner Strength: Physical changes are inevitable, but true strength lies in the spirit, which remains unshaken. Creating Joy: Her purpose was to be, to create life and joy around her. This profound experience teaches us that stability and strength come from within. Embrace your inner tree—endure, support, and thrive in your unique ecosystem.

During a QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique) session, a woman came seeking answers and healing for her chronic habit of lip-biting. This habit, which had persisted for years, especially intensified under stress, and she felt it was tied to something deeper within her subconscious. As she settled into a relaxed state and the session began, her higher self (HS) gently guided her into a vision from her past. She found herself as a young child, about seven years old, standing in a dimly lit living room. In this vision, she watched in silence as her mother, who suffered from severe mental illness, erupted in a fit of rage. Her mother’s eyes were wild, and her voice, though loud and chaotic, seemed distant and muted, as if the young girl’s mind had instinctively dampened the traumatic sounds to protect her. The source of her mother’s fury was her little brother, only three years old at the time, the mother was doing something to the little brother, traumatizing him. The woman, in her childlike state, wanted desperately to intervene, to protect her brother, but she was paralyzed with fear. She felt the weight of her own helplessness and the overwhelming pressure to keep quiet. She bit her lip hard, feeling the pain, as if it was a way to anchor herself, to contain her fear and sorrow without letting any sound escape. It was in that moment, unable to speak or act, that her habit of lip-biting began, a silent witness to her trauma. Back in the present, as her higher self continued to show her this pivotal moment, understanding and clarity began to emerge. The woman saw that her chronic lip-biting was a manifestation of her unspoken pain and the suppressed need to express her emotions. Her higher self explained that this habit had been her way of coping, a physical response to the deep emotional turmoil she had buried for so long. With this new understanding, her higher self began the healing process. The woman was guided to imagine herself enveloping her younger self and her little brother in a warm, protective light. She visualized telling her younger self that it was okay to feel afraid, that it was okay to want to speak out, and that she was safe now. The light grew brighter, enveloping the room and washing away the shadows of that painful memory. Her higher self then gave her specific suggestions on how to maintain this healing. Meditation was emphasized as a vital tool. She was instructed to meditate daily, focusing on grounding herself and reconnecting with her inner child, offering her younger self love and reassurance. She was also encouraged to explore and express her emotions through journaling or creative outlets, allowing herself to voice the words she had once held back. Additionally, her higher self reminded her of the importance of self-awareness. By knowing and understanding her triggers, she could better manage her stress and prevent the urge to bite her lip. Mindful breathing techniques and practicing mindfulness in her daily activities would help her stay present and reduce anxiety. As the session concluded, the woman felt a profound sense of release and peace. She understood now that her chronic habit was not just a physical tic but a signpost pointing to a deeper wound that had finally been acknowledged and begun to heal. She left the session with a renewed sense of hope and a toolkit of practices to support her ongoing journey of healing and self-discovery. In love and truth, Lori Lines By Lori Lines
In a QHHT session, a woman recounted her past life as a venerable oak tree, which had witnessed the evolution of its surroundings. Originally nestled in a lush landscape alongside numerous companions, it eventually found itself amid a bustling urban center. The tree took immense pride in its majestic appearance, with sprawling branches and extensive roots resembling long limbs. It possessed a profound awareness of the appreciation it garnered from those it served. Over possibly centuries, the tree basked in the admiration it received, reveling in its shade, beauty, and the gratitude of others. It derived deep satisfaction from simply existing, soaking up sunlight, and relishing the nourishment of rain. Through a form of telepathic energy exchange, it shared its wisdom and memories with people and animals alike, enriching their lives. As the cityscape around it continued to evolve with towering structures and an influx of inhabitants, the tree found solace in the twinkling lights of urban nights and the myriad experiences it encountered. However, with time, it sensed the onset of decay, experiencing discomfort as its once vibrant branches turned grey and its life force waned. Upon its eventual passing, the tree's soul transitioned, discovering a newfound sense of contentment in providing solace even in death. It found joy in offering space for contemplation and leisure, embracing its role as the last sentinel of a bygone era. Satisfied with fulfilling its purpose of bringing happiness and tranquility, the tree found peace in its final repose, symbolizing the enduring cycle of life and the beauty of fulfilling one's destiny. I love past lives such as these. Brings in what's really important in life. Trees FEEL. In love and truth, Lori Lines By Lori Lines
A QHHT client, known for her ethereal landscapes, she often paints scenes that feel hauntingly familiar, as if drawn from the depths of her soul. Despite her success, she felt a persistent void, a sense of something unfinished or undiscovered within her. She decided to explore the unconventional path, QHHT, hoping to unearth the root of her restlessness. During hypnosis, she found herself drifting back through time. Colors and shapes swirled in her mind until she saw a vivid image of herself standing in the midst of a breathtaking landscape—a scene she had painted numerous times but never fully recognized. She was in a vast meadow surrounded by towering mountains, with a crystal-clear river flowing nearby. The sky was a kaleidoscope of pinks, oranges, and purples as the sun set behind the peaks. She realized she was not merely looking at this scene; she was part of it. In this past life, she was a young woman named Aveline, a gifted painter living in the Renaissance period. Aveline had been commissioned to create a series of landscapes for a noble family. Each brushstroke was infused with her love for nature and her yearning for freedom, reflecting her inner world onto the canvas. As she delved deeper, she uncovered Aveline’s story. Aveline lived a life constrained by societal expectations and familial duties, but through her art, she expressed a boundless spirit and a longing for adventure. Her paintings were her escape, a way to capture the beauty and freedom she craved but could not attain in her daily life. She watched as Aveline painted her final masterpiece—a landscape filled with vibrant colors and serene beauty. It was the same scene my client had recreated in her own work, over and over. Aveline’s last moments were spent adding delicate details to the painting, each stroke a farewell to her dreams and passions, unfulfilled in her physical life but immortalized on the canvas. When my client awoke from the regression, she was overwhelmed with a profound sense of connection and clarity. She understood that the persistent void she felt was a legacy from Aveline’s unfulfilled desires. The familiar landscapes she painted were not mere products of her imagination, but echoes of Aveline’s dreamscape. My client realized that her purpose was to honor Aveline’s spirit by living a life of authenticity and freedom, breaking free from her own self-imposed limitations. She began to travel, seeking out new landscapes and experiences, infusing her art with the vibrant energy of her adventures. Each painting became a tribute to Aveline, a celebration of their shared love for beauty and exploration. Through this journey, she learned that her art was not just a creative expression but a bridge between her past and present selves. By embracing her true desires and living fully, she healed the lingering wounds of both her own soul and Aveline’s, finding peace and fulfillment in every brushstroke.

In Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT), there is a common misconception that achieving profound results requires entering a catatonic state, detached from consciousness. This misunderstanding often stems from the belief that one must eliminate the ego. However, the key lies not in eradicating the ego but in gently quieting the constant chatter of the thinking mind, allowing the dreamy, intuitive side to take center stage during meditation or hypnosis. Understanding the Ego Our ego is not an enemy but a vital part of our cognitive functioning. The cerebral thinking part of us analyzes, questions, and interrupts. Instead of attempting to eliminate it, the goal is to encourage the thinking mind to gracefully step back, creating space for a more intuitive, dreamy side to emerge. Remaining Conscious One of the prevalent fears associated with QHHT sessions is the apprehension of losing consciousness. Releasing the ego does not equate to losing awareness; instead, it involves temporarily setting aside the cerebral thinking part of the mind. Many individuals undergoing QHHT sessions are still awake and conscious, yet they have successfully muted the intrusive thoughts that often hinder the exploration of more profound, etheric, or "psychic" perceptions. Building Trust in the Process Those who struggle to trust themselves may find it challenging to fully embrace the QHHT process. Trust is integral to the success of these sessions, and often, the lack of trust is rooted in fear of losing consciousness or skepticism about the process itself. It's important to recognize that releasing the ego is not synonymous with losing control; it is about creating a conducive environment for exploration and self-discovery. Practical Steps: Meditation as a Gateway Meditation is recommended to start the process of quieting the mind. Meditation is a valuable tool for training the mind, allowing you to gradually become comfortable shifting the focus away from analytical thinking. Regular meditation sessions can help you familiarize yourself with the sensation of letting go of the thinking mind, which can be helpful during QHHT sessions. Patience and Grace in the Journey Embarking on the QHHT journey requires patience and self-compassion. It's not an overnight transformation for most, and that's perfectly normal. Give yourself the grace to progress at your own pace and understand that each step toward quieting the mind is a significant achievement. The more you practice, the more attuned you become to accessing the dreamy side, where profound insights and perceptions can manifest. Final Thoughts... QHHT should not be an exercise in forcefully silencing the ego but creating a harmonious coexistence between the thinking mind and the dreamy side. By understanding that the ego is not an obstacle but a part of the intricate weave of consciousness, you can approach QHHT sessions with confidence, Trust, and a sense of curiosity. Through regular practice, patience, and self-compassion, you can unlock the transformative potential within your subconscious mind. In love and truth, Lori Lines By Lori Lines
In this year to come What shall mark the defining sum? What change awaits, to rearrange, All notions held, our selves to exchange? In moments of quiet solitude, When we're alone, our thoughts pursued, Do we search for truths well-known, Or question anew, to claim our own? (By their fruit, the trees we discern, In every lesson, there's wisdom to learn.) Do we construct labyrinths, seeking to be lost, In self-exile, wandering paths that exhaust? I wonder, as we explore vacant rooms, Softening eyes and voice, within you it looms, Drawing deeper, still, in introspection's hold. Remember, you sought this, the Hour of Unmasking, Inviting the paradoxical, and surreal tasking. Now, in quiet stillness, cease the constant striving, As your spirit seeks understanding, and thriving. Have you contemplated disparities so long, That sameness appears foreign, all feels wrong? Have you battled so hard, so tireless, so tight, That even your freedom now seems a fight? I applaud those who find their rightful place, Yet in creating their home, they may misplace, The ability to soar, to chart their own flight, Trapped in another's vision, day and night. Instead of New Year's Resolutions, mere delusions, Let's pause and reflect, a welcome interlude. Before projecting further into the vast unknown, Consider the past's shadow, and seeds sown. Inaction plays a role in life's grand scheme, Balancing action and inaction, it would seem. It's the eternal dance of life and death's embrace, The harmony of love and fear, in each space. You reflect upon the self, but look beyond as well, To hidden truths, beneath the surface you dwell, Veiled by a thin layer, concealing the core, A coating obscuring what's at the core's core. I gaze deep within a muddied well's abyss, The tomb of memories, where perceptions miss, Daily, we construe and misconstrue once more, In every possible way, we misconstrue, that's for sure. Behind these walls, the solitary guest, A prisoner of purgatory, in soul's quest, Healing the wounds from a lifetime's fall, In this secluded chamber, we confront them all. The year departed so quickly, it seems, Our acquaintance fleeting, a fleeting dream. Is time swift, or is it I who slow the pace, Resisting the rush, finding my own space? Nietzsche's camel, weary from bearing the load, Speaks to his soul, on life's arduous road: "Awake, stir! I've played the camel's part, Carrying the weight of worlds, with a heavy heart. Now, I must shed what once used to be, And with the worn-out camel, I shall see, Part of me must die, and so I'm reborn anew, Beauty is a bird, breaking from its shell, it's true." This unfolding vastness knows no end, Yet, each year's calendar, we apprehend. With little deviation, it seems to persist, While everything else transforms, persists, and exists. In the ordinary, the sublime is concealed, Revealing its secrets, once hidden, now revealed. Someday, people shall see and comprehend, The profound essence that lies beyond the bend. Inaction plays its part in life's grand design, Balancing action, inaction, a rhythm so fine. The equilibrium of all that exists, Love and fear coexist, as life persists. As we reflect on self and broader schemes, In this boundless unfolding, where reality teems, We pause to perceive, to savor the view, Of all that was, and all that will be, anew. And when it comes to a Joyous New Year, of course, Still, the prior year lingers, unwinding its force. Is any year truly finished or ever won? A fresh year, another chapter, another run. ***You are my inspiration. Thank you all, with much love and gratitude.*** Lori Lines © Lori Lines, 2023 By Lori Lines Your spouse asks you to join them for a show, but you decline, explaining that you must catch up on work. They go anyway, and you lash out because you feel abandoned. Still, you did tell them you were too busy. Your boss asks you to stay late and give her feedback on a project she's been working on, you have a prior engagement, but you blow it off because you feel elated to be "chosen" and acknowledged despite this being an unpaid infringement on your private time. You promise your friend you will come over and help her prepare for a party. You get absorbed in a Wordle puzzle at the last minute, ignoring her call when she phones to see where you are. You realize that you don't feel up to it but feel too anxious to let your friend know. What do all these examples have in common? They could all be indicative of a need for inner child healing! What is Inner Child Healing? Also known as inner child work, it is any healing practice that addresses needs that weren't met or wounds that were created when we were children. While inner child wounds are prevalent among victims of trauma and neglect, we all have an inner child who may not have been loved, guided, or even reprimanded in the way they needed during development. Inner child healing creates space for the child locked within the subconscious mind to speak their truth, needs, and feelings, drowning out the echoes of those who criticized, rejected, and labeled them. When we allow our inner child a choice and a voice, we self-actualize through integrating the shadow and light or the subconscious and conscious. The principal goals of inner child work are to acknowledge their wounds, recognize the maladaptive beliefs and coping strategies they use to navigate the world, and heal by hearing, protecting, honoring, and reparenting the inner child. Signs Your Inner Child is Wounded There are many "symptoms" of an inner child needing healing. They can be as seemingly insignificant as repeatedly playing hooky from work during a deadline or as glaring as multiple DUIs! The following are some of the most common cries for help from the inner child. Codependence Vs. Alienation – A tendency to adopt the belief that "I can't live without you" is just as indicative of wounding as "I don't need anyone." Healthy adults value their independence yet, allow themselves to ask for help when needed. Reactivity – When any inconvenience results in an emotional breakdown or disruptive acting out, this is the "adult" manifestation of a temper tantrum. We are intended for thoughtful and intuitive responses to life, not impulsive and impetuous reactions. Self-Destruction – When we think of destructive behaviors, we often things of gambling, alcohol and drug abuse, compulsive shopping, and infidelity. However, self-destructive coping also includes workaholism, restrictive dieting, overly people-pleasing, and serial monogamy. Toxic Attachment Patterns – Whether in platonic or romantic relationships, those with an inner child wound tend to struggle with unhealthy attachment patterns. This can include avoiding conflict, emotional expression, or meaningful conversation. This often goes hand in hand with anxious attachment, involving the pathological need to please others. There may be a tendency to dismiss their needs for those of others or vice versa. This is often associated with being a gas lighter or a reoccurring pattern of being gaslighted. Benefits of Inner Child Healing We are often taught the "adult" thing to do when suffering is to suck it up. This leads to a tendency to reject our inner child and look disdainfully upon the part of ourselves that is wounded and bereft. This contributes to a fractured sense of self, leading to self-loathing, inauthenticity, developmental and spiritual stagnation, emotional detachment, alienation from others, humanity, and Spirit. Embracing the inner child teaches us there is no shame in the shadows of our wounds, thoughts, and emotions. By accepting the self fully, we can integrate the shadow and light, self-actualize, and ascend – we are no longer fractured. We are whole! Inner child work enriches our lives on many levels, elevating our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, nourishing our relationships, fostering success in our careers, and contributing to an overall sense of fulfillment and joy. We are catalysts of generational and communal healing when we heal our partnerships and families through inner child work. Moreover, if every child was swaddled in love and had a heart overflowing with empowerment, we could heal the world, creating a wave of awakening and enlightenment! Methods of Inner Child Healing The best way to create space for the inner child is to quiet the left brain and activate the right. The left brain is a locust of logic, reasoning, and conditioning. The left brain is the source of life's "shoulds and shouldn'ts" and is heavily restricted by the limitations of the 3D and societal mores. Alternatively, the right brain is a flowing source of emotions, intuition, creativity, instinctual knowing, imagination, and higher vision. The following modalities are trusted tools for inner child healing. Art Therapy – By activating the right brain, creative arts and art therapy under the guidance of a trained practitioner provides the inner child a chance to play, create, and express themselves. Hypnosis – Bypassing the conscious mind and accessing unconscious resources, hypnosis can create space for the inner child to convey their trauma and wounds while also giving them access to healing. Journaling – Inner child journal prompts to build a rapport with the inner child, strengthening and honoring their voice. It is an excellent way to begin the healing journey by creating a safe space without shame or guilt. Meditation & Mindfulness – Quieting the mental chatter, self-criticisms, and internalized judgments of the left brain, these practices soothe the nervous system and create a peaceful, broad expanse for the inner child to explore and express. QHHT – Bypassing both the left brain and the ego-self, QHHT reactivates and strengthens the right brain while fostering a connection with the higher self. The higher self can then inform the healing processes by comforting and empowering the inner child, accessing repressed memories, and providing a safe space to explore "negative" or shameful emotions. Final Thoughts… Your inner child is a seed. Though small and hidden, it is the foundation of growth for your entire being. Therefore, while your inner child's wounds may not be your fault, their healing is still in your hands…your life depends on it! In love and truth, Lori Lines By Lori Lines We’ve all come across a characterization of a hypnotist saying “you are getting sleepy” in an intonation somewhere between Dracula and cartoonish Sigmund Freud. As a clinically certified hypnotist, I help people overcome many issues, complaints, and bad habits in a safe, professional environment. I am not interested in making you cluck like a chicken or act like a creature from another planet! Of course, it is natural to have questions; it should be encouraged! So, let’s find answers by demystifying the 10 most common hypnosis myths! Hypnotists have special “powers” and use a pocket watch to put you in a trance. This is a fun one, but you’d be surprised how many people believe it! Hypnosis, like psychotherapy, should be performed by a certified practitioner. I don’t have magic powers; I have my training and years of expertise, powerful tools in their own right! Nor do I use a pocket watch; this is an archaic practice based on inducing hypnosis through eye fixation. Nowadays, we know you can simply close your eyes or lower your gaze. Hypnosis is against my religion because it is supernatural or involves black magic. There is a vast difference between stage “hypnosis” and hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy is based on years of scientific study and clinical practice. Much like the previous myth, the idea that there is something magical or otherworldly about hypnosis comes from the flamboyant performers that “hypnotize” audience members for others’ amusement. Hypnosis is a gimmick or parlor trick. Hypnotherapy is sometimes mistakenly lumped in with pseudo-medicine like phrenology; pardon the pun! However, hypnosis has been scientifically proven to ease and remedy many physical, mental, and emotional complaints such as chronic pain, IBS, depression, PTSD, phobias, and eating disorders. “I don’t know if I can be hypnotized; some people can’t.” Hypnosis generates natural brain waves that most people experience at least twice a day! These brain waves can occur when we are so immersed in a show or book that we forget the actors are acting, when we are driving or riding the bus and we “zone out” missing our stop or exit, or when we are engrossed in daydreams. As you see, everyone can enter at least light hypnosis. The deeper, clinical state of hypnosis is attainable for most, though it may require a skilled hypnotist who has several approaches to experiment with to find what is right for you. If you can hear the hypnotist, you are not hypnotized. As we just touched upon, hypnosis is different for everyone. People respond to different techniques and have different experiences. Some people may hear the practitioner’s voice throughout the session, while others may let their minds drift during hypnosis. Neither is more indicative of the efficacy of the hypnotherapy or hypnotherapist. When you are hypnotized, you are under the hypnotist’s total control. This is another misconception rooted in stage “hypnosis,” when people do embarrassing things that you couldn’t imagine them doing otherwise. When you are under hypnosis, you are still in complete control. No hypnotist could make you do something against your will because you are not totally unconscious; you just have greater access to unconscious thoughts and processes. Hypnosis can cause you to make embarrassing or private disclosures. While under hypnosis, because part of your conscious mind is still active, you still have voluntary control over what you say or do. If you make a sensitive disclosure, it is likely part of your healing journey and done intentionally for your greater good, even if on an unconscious level. Still, would you be ashamed to disclose something personal to a doctor or counselor? A certified hypnotherapist will give you the same level of discretion and consideration. You can get trapped in a hypnotic trance. How many times have you taken a nap and not been able to wake up? Despite everyone loving a good midday snooze, you were still able to rouse yourself. Even though hypnosis is not a sleep state, the example illustrates how to enter and exit brain states throughout the day. Hypnosis is simply another brain state that we can shift into or out of at will. Even if the hypnotist falls asleep during your session, I guarantee you I won’t; you can still exit hypnosis by opening your eyes and reorienting yourself to the room around you. Hypnosis is the same as sleeping, mindfulness, or relaxation. No, actually, none of the above. Studies have shown that brain waves recorded on an EEG are quite active during hypnosis, too active for the participant to be asleep. Furthermore, because hypnosis can be entered while we are physically active, during exercise, for example, while not ideal, of course, it is not a brain state exclusive to relaxation. Finally, mindfulness practice is the non-judgmental, non-involved observation of thoughts, while hypnosis often requires us to deeply explore, engage, or challenge our thoughts. Hypnosis is done in one session. While hypnosis is a relatively quick and highly effective healing modality, you should plan for anywhere from 1 to 6 or more sessions, depending on your specific needs. Another form of hypnosis I provide, Quantum Healing Hypnosis, can create transformational healing in just one session, depending on your goals. Don’t deny your sovereign power to choose healing, happiness, and wholeness! Contact me for a consultation to discuss the best approach for you. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. “Ask lots of questions. Don’t give away your power to anyone. Make up your own mind and discover your own truth.”
Lori Lines By Lori Lines Hopefully, you have taken some time to reflect on your connection to and embodiment of your higher self and role as sovereign creator. Often, when we first accept this position of power, we focus on what future experiences we wish to manifest, reflect on the present and how to improve current circumstances, and sometimes in our more introspective moments, we question how things could have been different had we assumed the authority of creator sooner. The past, present, and future of this lifetime are too minute to illustrate the vast nature of your power as a divine being. The higher aspect of who you are, your soul, has designed infinite lifetimes, some of which you are living concurrent to this one! With boundless wisdom, you chose what people, opportunities, challenges, blessings, and lessons you would encounter over your lifetimes to manifest your greatest good and highest purpose, enlightenment. Although free will can’t be disregarded, your higher self’s plans play a huge role in who you are, the life you lead, and your journey of personal development. “Even the bad things?” you might ask. “Bad” things happen for several reasons, a pre-orchestrated decision made by the higher aspect of your being to further your growth, your contemporaneous free will, or the consequence of your experiences and actions over lifetimes. Let’s use chronic migraines as an example. Your higher self may have decided migraines would guide you towards meditation, teaching you the value of mindfulness, inner stillness, and balance. They could result from the free will you exercised to stay up late and drink espresso shots throughout the day to stay up. Karmically, you could have experienced a head wound during a fight with a lover and must now heal the deep-seated emotional wound it caused in order to trust again. In this way, your sovereignty as divine creator is exponential, to the nth power! From this perspective, one can never be a victim of their circumstances. Let’s use another example…If you keep attracting partners who lie and cheat, this could be a path you choose in your highest state to learn self-respect and self-preservation, an unfortunate use of freewill to choose partners without discernment, or karmically it can be a pattern you will repeat until you decide to heal the wound of being abandoned in a past life. Meaning, any way you frame it, your circumstances are a result of your choices. Fortunately, you have the divine authority to change both your inner and external experience whenever and however you choose. Of course, this can sometimes be easier said than done. When the root cause of your undesired circumstance is unconscious or inaccessibly linked to past or parallel lives, it can be hard to identify, acknowledge, and release the blockages that impair your influence as a creator. This is where Quantum Healing Hypnosis can help. QHHT can reconnect you to the higher aspect of yourself, where your soul’s memories are stored. But, more than that, your higher self is also connected to the collective unconscious. By accessing all wisdom that has ever been and ever will be, your higher consciousness provides insight regarding your chosen life path, karma, challenges, wounds, and healing. Yet, before you can genuinely benefit from a QHHT session, you must accept the fundamental truth that despite any perceived distance or separation, you are your higher self! A QHHT facilitator is just that. They are meant to facilitate the connection. With hypnosis, one can clear the noise of limiting beliefs, temporal restraints, and conditioned “logic” to promote profound, discernable messages from your highest consciousness. It is not up to the practitioner to tell you what is "wrong" with you, that is your sovereign duty and privilege. Through QHHT and the alignment it promotes with your higher self, you can reclaim your divinity and creator power, learning to heal yourself, provide for your own needs, and fulfill your higher purpose. As long as you are willing to cast off the shackles of victimhood, stop waiting to be “healed,” don the mantle of creator and victor as your divine birthright, and heal yourself! In the next installment, we will discuss the systemic dis-ease of laziness and irresponsibility, how it is sustained on a societal level, and breaking free of the self-imposed imprisonment. In love and truth, Lori Lines By Lori Lines They say, when we dream of a home, all that transpires is a reflection of how we view our own inner experience. Moving ahead with this perspective, let’s explore the blueprints! The lower self is much like an unfinished basement. We store things like fear, anger, heartache, all our emotional childhood experiences. This lower aspect of self is highly reactionary and defensive, acting as a victimized, entitled, dependent, controlling, or otherwise maladaptive foundation for our behavior. We are accountable for renovating our energetic basement during this lifetime, clearing out baggage, and inviting in the light. The main floor of the house represents the ego-self. It is the part of us that people encounter. We decorate it and keep it presentation ready. Why? Because we don’t want to be judged for having the poor taste or being untidy. The ego is built upon and empowered by judgment. The primary ego needs are meeting external and internal expectations and being deemed “more” than others; more attractive, intelligent, successful, compassionate, or “spiritual.” Lastly, envision a refuge at the top of the house, but no ordinary attic. This is a sky loft with a beautiful skylight, filling it with illumination and a fresh breeze that always stirs, keeping the air pure and clean. It is a retreat you don’t get to visit as often as you like because you are busy keeping up appearances on the main floor. When you do visit, you are replenished and renewed. Now ask yourself, even if this loft is the most blissful yet least accessed part of your home, is it any less a part of the structure? The idea highlighted here is that the higher self, while expansive, pure, harmonious, and possessing profundity beyond description, is still a part of you. Commingling, for better or worse, with the lower self and ego. One of our primary undertakings this lifetime is to minimize the influence of the lower self, denying it control of the ego, designating power instead to the higher self, and teaching the ego to surrender to it. When this does not happen, the defensive, wounded lower self and the critical ego can lead us to assume the mantle of victimhood and helplessness. You see, the lower self assumes the role of defending the ego from being rewounded. Fearful, the lower self tells the ego that threats are around every corner. Being humiliated, taken advantage of, or hurt is not a potentiality it is a certainty. Thus, the ego throws its hands up in the air, too afraid to take responsibility for its inevitable demise. Going through life hopeless, helpless, and apathetic. There are also societal forces that take advantage of these listless souls. They are being ushered into the ignorant masses, who are too disinterested to call out the systemic façades and powerless to effectuate any real change. The matrix is thereby upheld by unconscious victims and those who fear accountability. These people are still imprisoned by the dank, dark basement of the lower self. When we awaken to the truth that we can at once be the lower self, ego, and higher self, we can no longer remain ignorant to the facts about our society and our divine sovereignty. We must assume responsibility for reparenting the lower self, forfeiting egoic power, and accepting the omnipotence of the higher self, breaking free of systemic fallacies. The seemingly trite adage, “with great power, comes great responsibility,” takes on weighty significance when you begin to recognize your role as a creator! Although the lower self, ego, and higher self comprise one being, victim and creator cannot! You cannot simultaneously create the personhood, experience, and outcomes you desire and remain a victim to them. Unfortunately, some people are afraid to surrender the mantle of victimhood because they fear the accountability of creator is too much to bear. They are more comfortable viewing themselves as “other” to the higher self because the divine authority to protect, guide, heal, and manifest becomes their own. The truth is while being a creator is a weighty undertaking, victimhood is more than a burden. It is a form of death, smothering life force and entombing your infinite potential. We can all benefit from looking at divine sovereignty as coming with a price that is far outweighed by its worth. Ultimately, it may be time to revamp the adage and instead declare, “with great responsibility, comes great power!” In the next part of this series, we will be discussing the infinite nature of our creator power as multidimensional beings… In love and truth, Lori Lines By Lori Lines Free will is a divine gift that endows each and every one of us with our own inner divinity. While a great endowment, the freedom to choose means every day we must choose between conscious and unconscious acts, positive vibrations and negative, right and wrong. Inevitably, some people will choose unconscious or willfully hurtful behavior, leaving you feeling hurt, betrayed, angered, or disappointed. Since free will is their divine birthright, you can do nothing to change them or their hurtful actions. Don’t be mistaken! This does not mean you have no power and are left with no recourse. You have the same birthright of choice. Whether these painful circumstances were pre-destined, to help you learn and grow, or they are weaponized use of someone else’s free will, you get to decide whether you will build a staircase to ascension on them or let them drag you down like an anchor in a sea of emotions. Though not the easiest path, the most constructive is to choose to cast off the mantle of victimhood and don the armor of victory. However, understand when you remain the victim, you are just as responsible for your path as choosing to be a victor. The hurt, helplessness, disempowerment of people who refuse to take responsibility for their own healing is their burden to carry. While it may seem like an injustice, there comes the point when the person who wounded them is no longer held accountable for the impact on the injured person’s life path. The Road to Healing If you choose to take back your power, bravo! Although it may be challenging spiritual work, you are more than capable of realigning yourself with your path and purpose. Keeping in mind that healing looks different for everyone, the following guide may help shape your journey of empowerment. The first step in your healing journey is to accept that the other person may never acknowledge they’ve done anything wrong. Accepting that painful truth is essential because it gives you back your power. If you can’t rely on them to right the wrongs, you will seek your own resolution. In the “light and love” society we live in, there tends to be a lot of spiritual and emotional bypassing. You must give yourself permission to feel all your feelings, including anger. It is only by facing your hurt that you will be able to release it- you can’t clean out the basement without unpacking it first! Once you have explored your pain, there is no need to linger there. Focus on the present. That is where your healing takes place, after all. You may want to come up with a healing affirmation to reorient you to your present and purpose, such as “I am present, I am powerful, I am progressing” or any other easy-to-remember positive declarations. Above all, be gentle with yourself! Perhaps you will find release in journaling, discussing (not dumping!) the events with a trusted friend or counselor, or seeking therapies like QHHT to dive deeper into the wisdom underlying your pain. Treat yourself like a dear friend, showing yourself compassion because we are all works in progress. Remember, “you can be a work in progress and a masterpiece simultaneously!” In love and truth, Lori Lines By Lori Lines As children, we are told we are athletic, or intelligent, rambunctious, or precocious. We are also taught what beliefs are good and what beliefs are bad, what careers are admirable, and which aren't, who to trust, and who we can't. Ultimately, we are taught what labels to apply to ourselves, our lifestyle choices, principles, and others'. As we mature, we adopt these beliefs as our own. These perceptions are often reinforced in subtle yet constant ways depending on what media we subject ourselves to and the people we surround ourselves with. In some ways, labels serve us, helping us to process things quickly, navigating life with greater expediency. Yet, in many more ways, labels perpetuate the limiting beliefs that negatively impede our potential, growth, understanding, and most importantly, our ascension. The concept of conscious creation suggests that our external experience is dictated by our internal experience, particularly our thoughts. Many people walk the world unconsciously, not knowing how they perceive the world is not as it is but as they have been conditioned to see it. For example, if we have been indoctrinated into believing that the world is frightening, we manifest a terroristic human experience. If we have been conditioned to view ourselves as vulnerable and helpless, we will perceive ourselves as victims and attract experiences in which we are victimized. Makes the adage, "what you think, you create" even more poignant, doesn't it? Don't mistake this wisdom for admonishment. We are not to blame for our unconscious beliefs. From birth, we are conditioned by parents, teachers, peers, and the media. This programming we are subjected to is unconscious because it is such a universal experience. The unconscious nature means these limiting beliefs quickly become "just the way things are," a deeply ingrained part of who we are. Whether they serve us or not, are true or false, they go unnoticed and therefore unchecked. Supported by automatic cognitive processes, the best way to rid ourselves of deleterious beliefs is to stop the mind's unconscious, ceaseless chatter. Even if this break in idle thoughts is momentary, when we can practice presence, we can observe our thoughts. By attending to our thoughts, we reawaken to the realization that we are not our thoughts, just as we are not our bodies or our emotions. You see, what makes you unique, what invigorates your eternal essence is your soul, and what gives this life significance is your soul's progression. By acknowledging this otherness from our thoughts, we have already begun the process of changing them. By simply being more mindful, we develop the ability to perceive the beliefs that align with us and our higher purpose and those that do not. When we interrupt the automatic thoughts fed by conditioned beliefs, we experience a glimpse of the world as it is, beyond the veil, outside of the matrix. With time, these brief moments of clarity become more expansive until you view life as it is in totality as opposed to what you've been programmed to believe it is. How Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique Can Help Given the precept of conscious creation, each individual must hold themselves accountable, not for having conditioned beliefs but for freeing themselves from them. Because whether we choose to remain imprisoned by our limiting beliefs or not, we are each responsible for the outcome of our individual life paths and the choices we make along the way. Ultimately, taking the road of freedom, enlightenment, and ascension is a choice. Once you have made that choice, QHHT can facilitate a deep dive into your subconscious, exploring depths that would otherwise be inaccessible. This is done by bypassing the nattering of the "conscious" mind. With the assistance of your higher self, which has an omniscient understanding of who you are and who you are meant to be, a practitioner connects you to your subconscious, enabling you to confront your conditioning and social programming. A parable tells of a baby elephant tethered to a stake and chain that he is too small to break free of. Over his juvenile years, he tries to break free to no avail. In adulthood, he is strong enough to break free but no longer attempts it as he has been conditioned to believe escape is futile. In this way, a QHHT practitioner can help liberate you from a prison you never knew existed, helping you find a way of BEING that you always hoped did. It is time to break free! In love and truth, Lori Lines By Lori Lines If only we treated our spiritual, emotional, and mental bodies as well as our physical bodies. When most people sprain an ankle or pull a muscle, they immediately tend to it. Why do we do that? Because we know if we don’t, the injury can seriously impact our ability to function. Emotional, mental, and spiritual wounds are much the same. When we don’t tend to these wounds, they can become aggravated – like an old injury, at seemingly random moments in our lives.... A simple disagreement with a co-worker, a perceived rejection from a partner or friend, emotions like sadness or fear elicited by a movie or a social media post. How do these triggers come to be? During dangerous, painful, ego or life-threatening experiences, the body and mind go into survival mode, shutting down certain physiological and mental states like digestion and memory while heightening others like the circulatory system and sensory awareness. Keep in mind, this doesn’t have to be as extreme as a fatal car wreck. This can be as seemingly commonplace such as a breakup or parental reprimand. When we neglect to address these traumas and painful experiences, the mind and body remain in a state of readiness, as though we are at perpetual risk of being wounded again. Due to this heightened state of awareness, experiences that are in any way similar – even to a small degree, can trigger the same feelings of fear, hurt, anger, guilt and shame that the initial event caused. Identifying Triggers & Their Root Causes The initial step of healing the wounds is to identify the triggers. Of course, each persons’ life experience is different, so everyone’s triggers are not the same. Although, there tend to be two pervasive categories of triggers, internal and external. Internal triggers involve flashbacks, memories, intense emotions, and even physical cues like muscular tension, fatigue, or heightened physicality brought on by exercise, for instance. External triggers involve environmental cues such as the people involved in the actual event or people reminiscent of them and related sights, sounds, scents, or circumstances. An essential aspect of healing is to define your specific triggers and the associated behaviors. Don’t judge; just observe. Ask yourself, what happens when you feel triggered? What are your reactions? When you can articulate what the problem is, try and discern when these behaviors started. If you have someone you trust, you can ask them when they noticed you started displaying these behaviors. Be ready to dig a bit deeper to uncover the root causes of your triggers. What are the specific circumstances that lead to these unhealthy responses? Who is usually around? What environment do they occur in? What negative beliefs do they elicit? Are there any associated flashbacks? How QHHT Can Help Sometimes with mindfulness, time, and determination, we can get a clearer picture of the root causes of our triggers. However, when the wounds are repressed, painful, or beyond our understanding, we can reach an impasse in our healing. This is when a Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique practitioner can help. Whether your wounds originated this lifetime or a previous life, QHHT allows you to explore all that has ever been imprinted on your subconscious, your essence that endures eternally. All memories and experiences that would be too difficult to recall in your conscious state can be safely explored during a session with the permission of your Higher Self. QHHT is a profoundly transformative practice, achieving healing at the deepest depths of your root trauma. Facilitated by your Higher Self and a skilled practitioner, you can gain greater awareness regarding past trauma and the physical, mental, and emotional ways it currently manifests in your life. You can also gain invaluable understanding of the wisdom extending from your suffering, whether pre-destined and chosen by your Higher Self or an unfortunate result of free will. Choosing Healing Instead of Blame One caveat of Quantum Healing is that we can only receive healing if there is an authentic desire to be healed. To foster this sincere intention, we must first take responsibility for our behavior and our growth. We must consciously accept that while the person or circumstances that wounded us may be unjust, we are solely accountable for achieving our higher purpose and the outcome of our life path. Personal power is the exercise of free will. You can reclaim your power by choosing healing, love, and forgiveness. In love and truth, Lori Lines By Lori Lines
What an organ the brain is! All its wrinkles and folds, nuances and enigmas, powers and abilities, working in perfect alignment and synergy…until it doesn't! The brain can be separated into different lobes, functions, and systems. The primary distinction is that of the right and left brain. Sometimes referred to as brains, these two hemispheres are meant to work together, making up for what the other lacks. The left brain is responsible for logic, analytical thought, scientific and mathematical reasoning, and processing what we have been taught to believe is factual evidence. The right brain processes holistic perceptions, creativity, imagination, art, music, and insightful reasoning. When the two hemispheres are balanced, together they give us a grounded perspective in which we can function in our day to day lives yet aspire, envision, and manifest a more fulfilling, high vibrational future. Unfortunately, some people are out of balance, listening solely to their left brain. This can be referred to as literalism. Defined as "adherence to a meaning in an exact sense, or an exact representation or portrayal without idealization or inference." In simple terms, understanding and judging everything at "evidence or face value,"…but is it really evidential face value? From an early age, based on our culture, society, and family values, we are all taught what to attend to, who to trust, how to perceive information, what is "fundamentally" true, and what is "fundamentally false." This is called social conditioning. Social conditioning is how we have been taught to function and think, somewhat like a default state for an electronic device. When we rely solely on the left brain, or literalist perceptions, we limit ourselves, our consciousness, and our opportunities. We give our power away to social, religious, political constructs and people, we've idealized and over identified with, to determine what we see and how we see it. In this way, literalism is taking everything at face value or basing our perceptions on factual evidence. Instead, it conforms to what we have been socialized to believe is accurate, proven, and apparent. Spoiler Alert: Knowledge, grounded in literalism, always comes to a stop. There's nowhere else to go to expand on ideas to grow! Repressing our natural tendency to question, to think beyond what appears to be physically present, and to grow as the spiritual beings that we are, stifles our true expression. In my opinion, this has been the crux of a trickle down effect and why our generation suffers from systemic depression and that people, collectively, are suffering the Dark Night of the Soul. All that we perceive and experience is transient, except for the experiences that change our soul. The soul or spirit is the entity that exists and bridges us from one life to the next. It never dies. We explore the universal consciousness through our soul, commune with the higher consciousness, and reach the higher dimensions. Locked within the soul is a template of our life path, all that came before and will come after. Alignment with this map or template is how we self-actualize, awaken, and achieve enlightenment through connection to the universe and Spiritual consciousness. When we rely too heavily on the left brain's literalism, we tie ourselves too tightly to the physical realm's perceptions, experiences, and fleeting events. We lose touch with our higher selves, the universal unconscious, and the realm of the soul. Quickly we can become locked into the functioning of the day to day, observing the rules and regulations we have been conditioned to. A divide grows between who we are and who we are meant to be. We are not meant to follow, but to do the soul's work, honoring the template we come to this world with and the higher purpose we are destined to achieve. As the division between who we are portraying and who we are meant to be, grows, life becomes challenging. We can lose our way, lose our sense of purpose, and life can lose all meaning. When we lose our "why," by habitually conforming to what we think we KNOW, we also lose our how and when. There has never been a time where it is crucial for individuals to begin their self-actualizing, integrative process by whatever means is necessary than now. Trusting the left brain too much can lead to not trusting ourselves at all! Our intuition and inner knowing repeatedly takes a backseat to what we have been conditioned to believe is right, even if it goes against what we want or what we feel. Like any other relationship, when we lose our own trust, it is difficult to regain it. This state of feeling conflicted towards the answers "out there" and having the answers within withheld can render us powerless. This powerlessness can lead to depression, anxiety, and general apathy towards the very life we are living. If you have experienced this or are experiencing it, you understand how difficult a cycle it can be to break. Yet, nothing can change within your spirit or in your outer world until you do the spiritual work it takes to amplify and hear your inner truth again. By bypassing social conditioning and the left brain's reasoning, the Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique can access the part of yourself that can hear and feel your inner knowing again. QHHT can help you reconnect with answers that you have lost along the way regarding your everyday life and your spiritual calling. QHHT accesses the higher self and the collective unconscious through your spirit, your everlasting nature, and eternal awareness, rendering the confines of social conditioning and literalism powerless. In turn, returning your mental, spiritual and emotional balance and restoring your power! I have spoken to many of you who are afraid of the QHHT process, those of you who know, on a deeper level, that you've clung to your literalism for far too long and believe you would not be successful at this practice. My answer to this is my Mindfulness Meditation and Awareness Series of coaching sessions that can help prepare you for a QHHT session. Practicing mindfulness to strengthen awareness naturally opens up the mind to balance and trust in your inner knowing rather than just accepting evidential proof, "out there" that may or may not be true. When you can once again perceive the bigger picture, you will start to realize how "small" your physical existence truly is. Through connection to your higher self and your countless lifetimes, you can once again appreciate how infinite your options and opportunities are. You can begin to realize yourself and your exponential gifts and visualize unlimited new ways of living, and it takes trusting yourself to do so. In love and truth, Lori Lines By Lori Lines The late great Dolores Cannon used to ask her ailing clients, "are you willing to give up what is making you sick?" She would ask this question in the wake of a QHHT® hypnosis session. While this question may seem harsh to some, it's simplicity gives rise to our own empowerment as more of us awaken to our responsibility tending to our thoughts, actions and emotions that block us and make our lives...well..."sick." The majority of the people in the world are living mechanical lives based on social conditionings and false beliefs instilled in us since childhood and beyond. Our inharmonious thoughts and feelings, our desires and our compulsive behaviors create major blocks which densify our bodies and lower our vibrational frequency so that we become vulnerable to the negativity (or our created negative energy) around us. Consequently, individuals attract situations and people of similar energies based on the cosmic principle of "like attracts like." Mental blocks are nothing but dark energies stagnated in our consciousness over long periods of time. These blocks can unconsciously be held within parts of our bodies, too. When we cling to our negativity and appropriate our woes and sadness, we unwittingly trap them into our subconscious being, where they gradually crystallize into mental, physical and emotional blocks that affect us adversely at all levels. These blocks obstruct the divine flow of energy into our being and can shift us out of alignment with our Source, so that all our thoughts and emotions are tainted with pessimism. Our conscious-awareness is a sentry that guards our thoughts and feelings from straying away from the Source Light of Love and Peace. When some outside situation provokes us to anger, fear, hatred and the like, we must be aware of our emotions and our inner dialogue that expresses those emotions. It's important for us to be in control of our emotions before they overwhelm us. How to take control? Take a pause, watch your negative emotions as a passive spectator. Acknowledge each emotion that comes up, with: I am feeling "anger"...or I am feeling "fear" and so on. Observe your emotions without allowing them to ruffle your feelings. Your quiet vigilance prevents the discordant emotions to take possession of your heart, mind, even your body, and keeps them under control. Do not be tempted to resist and analyze them or reason with them, but simply be with them until they subdue and dissolve into stillness. With the power of presence we can get rid ourselves of mental/emotional blocks and choose to lead a wholesome life, free from the compulsions of our negative thoughts. It's helpful to challenge our fears that pose as obstructions to our success and well-being, and dare to break free from our comfort zone for a more enterprising life. Know that fears are illusory by nature, and appear real only as long as we give it our energy to dominate over us. Fears enfeeble the mind and cripple the spirit. Similarly, it helps to be conscious of our mental activity at any given time. It is typical of the mind to drift off to its shady haunts of dismal memories, bringing with it the dark remnants of pain and sorrow which cloud our present moment of sunshine and happiness and steep us into our own misery. Your conscious-awareness repels untoward thought, allowing only those which are in keeping with our health and well-being. When you catch yourself drifting down the bleak memory-lane, stop your thoughts right dead in their tracks and immediately replace it with that which uplifts your spirit and evokes joy in your heart. If the thought hangs on, I affirm, "I nullify this thought so that it does not enter into my subjective mind." It is helpful to engage in constructive activities that are instrumental in increasing mental cheerfulness and better concentration. Life is not meant to be taken so seriously. If we learn to laugh in the face of our trials and tribulations, we can understand that hardships are merely the lessons of life that we need to go through for our own spiritual progress. These are transient - here, one minute and gone the next. If we refuse to internalize other people's aggressive behavior towards us, we rise to the understanding it is nothing personal - it is just their way of releasing their inner turmoil and pent-up frustrations. So, go ahead and dare to laugh when ordeals compel you to cry; dare to love and forgive your enemies when they provoke you to anger and hatred; dare to be resilient when the blows of life bear down on you so that you are able to bounce back good and strong once they are through with you; dare to remain anchored in the Light of Peace when fears threaten to close in on you and jeopardize your happiness. Shadows and sunshine are a part of one's spiritual journey. You have to allow yourself to move on and enjoy the ride. Keep moving onward and upward, and look forward to new changes that bring with them surprises and opportunities. Cast burdens onto your Higher Power and live free like a child who is filled with hope and wonderment. Find joys in the simple things in life. A happy heart is a healthy heart. Afflictions and maladies can cease to exist in a body that resonates with true peace and joy. Though easier said than done, practicing presence and vigilance over our hearts and minds requires persistent effort and a sense of responsibility on our parts. It is a pre-requisite in order to gain mastery over self and to live by the power of our souls so that we become a source of attraction for Universal Peace, Abundance, Health, and Prosperity.

Projection is the subconscious act of transferring your own unwanted traits, emotions, and behaviors on to someone else. Projective identification, sometimes referred to as projection as well, is the subconscious act of taking feelings from one interpersonal, connection, situation, or relationship and place it on to an unrelated one. Finally, externalization is when we blame others for our circumstances and problems, falsely assuming a victim mentality. It can all seem a little confusing to someone who isn't familiar with these terms, so here are a few examples. An example of projection is feeling bad about not giving your all at work. Subconsciously you feel guilty that you've been disinterested and unfocused at work. Instead of assuming responsibility for not giving your all, you lash out at a blameless co-worker for being lazy and inconsiderate for not doing their fair share. You took your negative feelings and placed them on your co-worker. An example of projective identification is having left a relationship where you were undervalued and felt unheard, and you go to a skilled therapist and counselor. You get frustrated with the therapist because they never hear you and often treat you with a lack of respect, unconsciously painting them with the same brush as your ex. An example of externalization would be poor money management and thoughtless spending having you in a financial crunch. Instead of assuming responsibility for your carelessness, you blame your innocent partner for always suggesting expensive activities. Now that you know what these terms are, you may ask why we do them. They are coping mechanisms to help us deal with uncomfortable and unwelcome emotional and mental experiences. The above are examples of maladaptive coping. There are different reasons why we engage in these particular maladaptive coping techniques. They can be a means to avoid shame and damage to the ego-self. Some people are trying to prevent fearful or unpredictable outcomes. For others, it is merely a consequence of trying to block these unwanted thoughts, feelings, or behaviors out of their mind. By deciding not to think about them, our quirky brains focus on them even more. We have all engaged in this type of coping at some point in our lives, they are unconscious mechanisms after all, but a chronic or contentious tendency towards projection and blame can be very damaging to others, our relationships, and our spiritual path. As I'm sure you can imagine, when someone is projected upon or blamed when they are not guilty of the perceived offense, it can damage their self-esteem and self-worth, if they choose to take it on. Over time, when someone is met with a constant barrage of projection, it can build a toxic shame within them. This toxicity can spill over into all areas of life. This is why it is essential to consider and shape our interactions, our reactions with empathy and compassion. The truth is, the avoidance of negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors thwart our own healing and spiritual growth. We cannot walk in the light if we don't first acknowledge and accept the dark or shadow components of our past and who we are. If we project that which is undesirable in us onto others, we never get the chance to open it to the light and to correct ourselves. By projecting and blaming, we damage our sense of empowerment, our strength, and our self-worth. We assume the role of victim and, by doing so, we cease striving to surmount our challenges and our traumas so that we can move forward in our lives in a healthy way. Finally, the path to enlightenment is one of love, love of the self and love of others. When we project and blame, it is a victimization and a rejection of who we really are, there is no room for self-love in this chronic pattern of denying our truth. Also, as mentioned, by casting unwarranted guilt on others, we can do damage to their spirit, which wrongfully impacts their path and their ability to fulfill their purpose, love cannot be sustained in this circumstance, either. Psychological projection, projective identity, and blame all stem from judgments. Judgements of ourselves that are manifested as judgments projected onto others. The first step in breaking the toxic pattern of maladaptive projective coping is to release judgment. The ego-self is sustained by judgments, when you can observe your thoughts, your feelings, and your behaviors with awareness, and without judgment, you are on the path to negative ego-death and enlightenment. It is exciting to see a trend in my QHHT practice that many of my clients are beginning to recognize, and to take responsibility for, their own role when they are projecting their own wounds into situations and relationships. As the article states, we all do this from time-to-time, but when it becomes a habit of deflecting the underlying issues, projection can take a very dysfunctional turn. This trend is showing me that the collective is allowing these underlying wounds to float up to the surface so that we can finally have the opportunity to deal with these shadow parts of ourselves in order to finally make the changes needed and put them to rest. In love and truth, Lori Lines By Lori Lines The Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique can be implemented to help heal the spirit, mind, and body. The practice of QHHT® merges hypnosis, past life regression, and the higher self to connect the participant to higher consciousness. Access to higher consciousness is achieved at the deepest level of hypnosis possible. Once the participant is in a hypnotic trance, the practitioner guides them to the root source of dis-ease, illness, and healing wisdom. The healing messages are sent from the higher self but can reference past, present, or even parallel lives. Many people have reported a powerful quantum shift in just one session, leading to greater happiness, health, and holistic wellbeing. Sounds miraculous, and in many ways, it is, however, the question seems to arise time and again, “is QHHT safe?” This level of consciousness is achieved at least twice a day, upon waking and before falling asleep. Though, for some, this level of trance is achieved several times a day, when someone is engrossed in a book, movie, video game, or even during computer tasks at work. It is a phase that feels like derealization, you can hear everything that is going on around you, but it has a vague surreal quality, like a vivid daydream. You are aware and in control in this state. Yet, the typical distraction and limitations of the fully conscious mind are removed, enabling the subconscious to be accessed and healed. So QHHT can be as safe as daydreaming, falling asleep, or getting lost in a good movie. As with all your daily activities, the higher self will watch over as you and your trusted practitioner to explore your higher consciousness. Your subconscious will never present something that you are ill-prepared for, unable to cope with, or will not benefit you. It is safe to say that when practiced as intended, the biggest risk QHHT therapy poses is a nap, which isn’t that bad at all! The Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique was meant to be practiced one on one, practitioner and client. Dolores Cannon, the founder of QHHT®, believed that the profound transformative nature of the practice is compromised when experienced from behind a screen. Technology is not infallible. Whether it is a weak internet connection or an untimely update, there are variables that a practitioner cannot control while their client is in this vulnerable hypnotic state. You are conscious, yet some people may encounter, drowsiness, dizziness, headache or disorientation when under hypnosis or upon being roused. Being roused from your trance is a vital issue; if any problems arise, you will be glad to have a skilled QHHT® practitioner who is present, not behind a screen. Level 3 practitioners are the highest-ranking of expertise, having undergone intensive one on one instruction, and multiple reviews and assessments. An actual, level 3 Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique practitioner is guaranteed to administer the technique in its purest form, as the founder, Dolores Cannon, intended it to be. This technique has been tried and tested, with miraculous results for over 20 years. An authentic level 3 practitioner does not deviate at all from the established method, keeping the safety and benefit of the client a priority. Be forewarned. There are former QHHT practitioners that use the title of certified practitioner misleadingly. These practitioners practice hypnosis and past life regression, using QHHT techniques, but also include other modalities and may allow remote sessions. As such, these modalities have no assurance of safety or efficacy and are not endorsed by QHHT® Official. As with any healing modality, safety can only be ensured when working with trained, experienced practitioners who follow established protocols and utilize proven techniques. So, is the Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique safe? With an authentic level 3 practitioner, it is as safe as taking an afternoon nap, though much more beneficial! If you choose a practitioner level 1 or level 2, just be sure to ask them if they practice solely in the way Dolores Cannon intended, if you are interested in an authentic QHHT session. Beyond safety, when you find the right practitioner that you feel a good connection with, you will have a profound and meaningful healing experience, empowered by your mutual intention and energy towards your healing, and highest benefit. Performed in a safe and intimate space, watched over and imbued with the presence of the loving energy of your higher self and guided by a wise and compassionate practitioner, you cannot go wrong. In love and truth, Lori Lines By Lori Lines This question comes up with clients all the time, especially after a session when the experience was so helpful or when the Higher-self explains that the person is not ready to address everything on their agenda but a few items. When approaching QHHT for the first time, one may be hesitant about what they may expect from the session. Some arrive curious and reticent about possible issues which can derive from this modality. Also, some need time to adjust to the energy of a QHHT session through the interview as well as to experience something that's, more than likely, foreign to them. People who approach QHHT often have problems which can concern both health and personal life, or they would simply like to know more about their past or where they fit into the cosmic scheme of the Universe. Whatever reason one brings to the interest in this technique, a QHHT session can bring more benefits than one can imagine. However, questions can arise as well as doubts. The Higher-self (or Subconscious) is unpredictable and we never know how many new scenarios will be brought to light; always for further transcendence and healing, for the highest good of the client. What is very interesting, is that all information from the Higher-self doesn't necessarily come at once but gradually through each session. I suspect this is because the Higher-self, since it knows the truth as well as everything about us, knows how much information to bring forth based on the readiness of an individual's ability to receive the profundity of the information. Many times a client will experience the HS telling them they are not yet ready for certain information and letting go of an old wound or problem needs to occur first. Past personalities, unexplained fears and phobias, unconscious blessings and more...all these aspects are deeply investigated during the course of a QHHT session, yet sometimes need time to emerge as the client evolves in their own time. Many often want to try a QHHT session just for curiosity, hoping to solve anxiety, phobias or lack of self-worth with only one session. However, some change their minds, especially once these issues are resolved, and ask for follow-up sessions as their journey in their lives continue and new questions and concerns emerge as they move forward in their lives. Sometimes, the HS will recommend a follow-up session for a later time, especially when there's a big issue of focus in the first session that needs to be addressed and other issues fade into the background for a later date. As a QHHT Practitioner, I always intend the HS to lead. Therefore, the HS makes the decision whether another follow-up session is appropriate for the client. The choice is always in the client's hands. In love and truth, Lori Lines #qhht #qhhtofficial By Lori Lines I would like to share with you a short version of a QHHT session with a client recently: Without going into details, to protect her privacy, this lovely and very articulate woman had suffered numerous physical abuses during childhood. She was born with very natural intuitive, artistic and musical gifts. Her father was a very prominent figure in the 60's and 70's who, when she expressed her light, her creativity and sought his approval, would do everything he could to diminish her expression to the point of physical abuse. Because of this, she stopped expressing her talents and became a woman who gave too much to prove her worth to others. Over time she had very clear patterns of specific physical symptoms as well as boundary issues in all relationships. During her QHHT session she literally experienced and made a very profound connection between her father's abuse, her physical symptoms and her boundary issues. Somehow, the abuse from her father was "way back there" somewhere in the rearview mirror, mired in a small amount of denial. She loved her father very much. Her physical symptoms were an emotional manifestation to keep the abuse from happening (which would give her temporary reprieve from his abuse) but the symptoms continued into adulthood until she made this connection as to the origins of the symptoms in her QHHT session. Through the loving direction and unfoldment of visions, provided by her higher-self, from her past in this lifetime, as well as past lives, she was able to realize the truth of the severity of the abuse from her father, how it was affecting her life now, and to truly forgive and let him go. This empowered her to take more control of her life. When she left, she said she felt so much lighter. Her aura appeared very bright and shiny after her session and she knew this QHHT session was Divinely guided because she was ready to face reality, at this juncture in her life, and to take the steps to make necessary changes so that she could bring back her art, her voice, and her music. She could not stop smiling! Another happy client. I feel so blessed to be a part of waking people up, one client at a time. In love and truth, Lori Lines By Lori Lines Today I had the pleasure of doing a QHHT session with a gentleman who flew in from out-of-state to see me. I just wanted to share that this man was able to come to a profound understanding as to why he was so afraid of his own success. He stated he was unable to pinpoint where the origin, in this life, he could have such a self-confidence issue. After losing one job after another through no fault of his own, as well as several failed attempts at his own businesses, he was able to drill down to the past life cause of where this fear began. Long story short, after experiencing a past life where he and his family were evacuated and burned out of his thriving farming business by a new ruler in his region, that later took over his land, he and his once happy and thriving family were forced out, financially devastated and had to resort to roaming the countryside, nearly starving as he took small jobs here and there. When asked what he was thinking and feeling in the moments before he died, all he could do was cry. He then said, "I'm a failure, I've disappointed my family, I can never recover." During his session, he was able to make the connection between the limited thoughts he adopted upon his death from that lifetime and his fear of success in this lifetime. He realized he was afraid to succeed because he was afraid it would all be taken away from him again, if he even tried. After his session, when he was leaving, he said he had not felt this light in years. He said he felt as if he had a new lease on life and he could already sense his confidence coming back. He was eager to get back home and tell his wife what he experienced as he was sure he was no longer going to take that energy into his new job opportunities nor his new business he is currently creating. I live for these moments and hope to have the opportunity to share more in the future. Waking up, one person at a time... In love and truth, Lori By Lori Lines I've been practicing Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique for a while now. Recently, I was invited by Julia Cannon to join the Level 3 Practitioner class held in Eureka Springs this month. An honor, to say the least. And I must say that this class, for me, was so rich and so intense! Why? Because I received in-depth, 1:1 coaching and training that has brought my awareness to the absolute significance as to why my client sessions must be performed just as Dolores Cannon performed her sessions. It was as if a lightbulb came on and I finally got it! Training in this technique is like training in the gym. You learn the exercises and their value and you continue practicing, honing and building your stamina and strength until you master it. And the bonus is, in this case, you get to do it in a loving environment that builds confidence. One of the many values I received working with Julia, (who is the late great Delores Cannon's daughter and who worked alongside Delores) is her way of channeling this massive body of work that, I want to call sacred and pure, like no one else on this earth can do. Having a QHHT session myself, I now truly understand the profound healing that is possible on so many levels of existence and I cannot imagine how or why anyone would not work with someone who conducts their sessions any other way than the pure and efficient way, that empowers the client, just as Delores did. After all, why complicate things by trying to fix that which already works? In gratitude, Lori Lines By Lori Lines When I meet new people and they ask what I do, sometimes I have difficulty explaining to those who ask, when I am pressed for more information. The most challenging modality to explain that I use in my healing work is Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique also known as QHHT™. Therefore, with the permission of a fellow QHHT™ colleague, this is how it is explained: QHHT creates a framework of contact and interaction between the outer self (the conscious mind) and the inner self (the subconscious mind). This is made possible by your decision to tackle problems, life questions, and to open yourself up to the help and support of other levels of your consciousness. How this interaction takes place is very individual and different to each client. Here are some examples: Due to Dolores Cannon's books the most prominent form of interaction is the subconscious speaking through the hypnotized client. As this is the most direct way of relaying inner information, QHHT always aims at making this happen. Whether this form of interaction is possible during a session highly depends on the client. Its success is very probable for people who are able to immerse themselves completely in a guided process and are able to calm down the critical, analytical controlling part of their mind. This modality affords the client to let go and to allow their subconscious to express itself through the vocal chords for the time of their session. This feat must be accomplished by the client. The hypnotist can suggest it but it cannot be forced. (Based on our experience, about 70% of the clients allow this to happen.) In other cases, the clients inner-self may convey its wisdom through the client's senses - mostly visually, but not exclusively. Scenes from other lifetimes, from childhood, and symbolic visions are among the spectrum of possibilities that can be used to answer the client's questions. This is probable for people who allow themselves to be hypnotized and go into a trance, but their critical mind does not let go completely in order to step aside and leave the stage to the Subconscious. In trance, the inner eye is very receptive, especially if its abilities are naturally strong or well-trained. The same is valid for inner hearing and inner sensing. Sensory information can be experienced in addition to the verbal communication or just by itself. (Based on our experience, approximately 60% of clients receive visual or other sensory information.) In cases when the conscious mind is allowing neither verbal communication with the subconscious nor sensory information to come through, the session can work more as a kickstart for potentially big and positive change to manifest in the hours/days/weeks afterward. The intention of contact and cooperation is sufficient for giving permission to the subconscious to initiate the necessary energetic changes. Bit by bit, almost "magically", the challenges and problems that the client had brought into the session are overcome, even though no perceived information had been shared during the session. This experience can be made by people who don't find it easy to let go and to allow their critical, analytic, controlling part of the mind to temporarily recede and to relax. Interestingly enough, many people who would describe themselves that way end up having no problem at all with letting go and immersing themselves in the process. (Based on our experience, approximately 25% of clients experience kickstart sessions.) What is certain is that each soul has its own path and its own timing. What works for one is not appropriate for another and, therefore, different experiences are being made. All of them are beneficial. QHHT sessions are as individual as the people who experience them. Even we, as practitioners, cannot predict what the subconscious is going to reveal. Over the years, we have learned to trust the Subconscious. It knows what it's doing. When cooperating with the Subconscious, nothing can be forced or hurried. Whatever happens in a session is what is necessary and possible for each client. In our experience, the more relaxed and unbiased the client is, when going into a session, the more wonderful and fulfilling the experience will be. Believe, trust, allow. Everything is possible! Wishing many blessings and peace, Lori Lines By Lori Lines I find that many do not realize that their heart chakras are wounded, from past lives carried into now, and this wounding shows up mostly in our relationships. We see this wounding played out everywhere. It's in the movies, it's in those who desperately participate in internet dating & hookups, it's reflected in the masculine and the feminine behaviors of betrayal, fear, anger. It's displayed in that "WANT" for the perfect love that eludes so many. The implications of this sorrow and heartache seeps in and permeates all of us that comprise the mainstream of life and it emanates itself within humanity. It is this wounding that collectively causes discord, chaos, divisiveness and disruption in all aspects of our lives. And, here we are. Collectively, we have come down this road of pain and suffering. We are on this beautiful planet and this is how we've been behaving. And it has affected all of humanity and all our Mother Earth 's creatures. There is a shift and a change happening. Whether we are ready for this change remains to be seen. We are learning how to overcome obstacles and adversity in a non-violent way. Because, after all, how has this violence and divisiveness served us? It's time to bridge yourself to your own sovereignty and to heal the wounds of the heart. It's time to connect with and to love those with whom you have heart connection - whether it's physical connection or spiritual connection doesn't really matter. More importantly it's time to connect with your own heart by allowing yourself to fill up with your own self love and Divinity. In my work, I hear time and time again how love has been cast aside when darkness has come between the light of deep love. Love and hate (hate is really fear) are two sides of the same coin. Let us not attempt to repel the dark but to embrace it in a state of unconditional love. We will not lose love or fear! It's always there. Choose to step in to the courtship (within as well as without), free from interference and it shall be so. Feel your emotions and begin to disallow distractions from them. These emotions are real and concrete. They are clues to the depths of the wounding that has taken place. When you do this, you will begin to deeply understand who you really are as you stand still and firmly in place. Do not be frightened. You will begin to understand the heart of humanity and, in time, you will finally let go and flow along, in trust of her gentle wave, guiding you as you finally realize your Divine connection to everything. As you do you will transform, you will emanate a light for others - showing them the way to their own enlightenment. It is our birthright to be abundant, as human beings, but it must me a balanced abundance individually and collectively. When we balance within, we will have all the abundance we will ever desire including possessing the sight that pierces darkness in our newfound clarity of vision. We have incarnated onto earth at this time to powerfully and deeply transform. Many of us will hold the sacred keys to love and abundance as this collective transformation continues, allowing us to be the way-showers as we lead with our individual and collective light. No matter where you are in your transformation process, emanate your light from where you are. You will be helping, not only yourself, but those around you. I am shown many souls who are desperately seeking their destiny and as they search, they are tired and feeling hopeless as they've been rowing and drifting from here to there - trying to find the secure shore. Not understanding that what they are seeking is within them. I'm encouraged to see the light coming up over the horizon. Know that those feelings of fear, frustration and hopelessness are the dark just before the light is seen and felt. Have no doubt that those of you reading this are leading the way forward - onward and upward. Do not worry. This is the moment before change occurs. In the moments you are exhausted and you feel you just cannot go on, this will be the time of a new birth. And you will rise. Endeavor to be the change you wish to see and it will be so. If you are interested in understanding your sacred path and if you feel ready, I encourage you to experience a past life regression or a QHHT session with me. For an appointment, click HERE! Wishing you love, peace and blessings, Lori Lines By Lori Lines One of the issues that can come up in a QHHT session is that of the ego. In this type of healing work, it is the ego that needs to be neutralized so that illness and blocks to moving forward in one's life are to be removed by the client. Recently, I had a session with a woman whose ego was so pervasive, it resisted my hypnotic commands to allow she and I to have a conversation with the higher self. Having only done this work for a short period of time, I was surprised (and felt ill-equipped) when this happened as we QHHT Practitioners never really know what to expect in a session. Luckily, I am a channel and just prior to the session, I asked to channel higher wisdom and guidance from the beloved Dolores Cannon who coined QHH Technique that I learned in my practice. My initial reaction to this woman's ego was to attempt to banish it altogether while we were conversing with the higher self. However, this did not work. The woman's voice changed as she began yelling at me, "No! No! Do not send me away! I've been helping her have fun! She doesn't need to do that!" as it boasted, "I'm much stronger than her higher-self!" As she was yelling, her body was writhing on my table. I asked for higher guidance, and once accessed, it was impressed upon me to remember that love heals all and that I needed to take a different approach: I projected love to the ego for it to neutralize its presence so that the client could be allowed to let go of old habits and limiting beliefs for her healing to occur. As I reasoned with the ego, while sending it love and thanking it for protecting her for so many years, I explained that my client wanted to and was ready for delving deeper into herself to access her light, so that she could move forward in her life without expressing herself from her core wounds any longer. I explained to the ego that she was tired of living the way she was and she was not letting IT go, but she wanted to let go of her core wound that kept her from expressing her best self. We thanked the ego for protecting the wound, but that she did not want IT to identify with the wound any longer but to, perhaps, find a way to protect her in another way until she was ready to make another change at a later time. After calling in the Angels, projecting love to her ego, it finally receded so that we could access the higher self and have a loving and informative conversation about my client. It was explained to the client that she has the power to make free-will choices, how to practice relinquishing her ego when she was aware of its presence, so that she could make better choices that are outside of her usual self-destructive behavior. The client now reports feeling lighter and more clear about her responsibilities for the life she is choosing, she reports a deeper connection with her higher-self, and she reports she now has the courage to make choices that are better in living her best life now.
