Many healing practitioners have found themselves misunderstood, sometimes facing accusations of gaslighting those who have experienced trauma or victimization. The claim is that by offering a spiritual perspective that encourages individuals to see their experiences as part of a greater soul journey, practitioners are invalidating the pain and suffering of those who have been hurt. However, this interpretation does not capture the deeper essence of what QHHT seeks to provide, nor does it reflect the profound compassion that most practitioners feel for those who have been victimized.

Compassion for the Wounded

QHHT practitioners understand and deeply respect the pain that people go through when they’ve experienced trauma, whether it be abuse, betrayal, or hardship. These experiences can be life-altering, and in no way does QHHT diminish the reality of the suffering involved. Compassion is at the heart of the QHHT process; practitioners hold space for the emotions and experiences of their clients, allowing them to express and process the hurt they’ve endured. Far from denying these feelings, the approach encourages acknowledgment, healing, and ultimately, understanding.

The accusations of gaslighting stem from a misunderstanding of the QHHT practice. Gaslighting is a form of manipulation that causes someone to question their reality. QHHT, however, aims to help individuals access the wisdom of their Higher Self, where a more expanded understanding of life’s challenges can be explored. This spiritual perspective doesn’t deny the hardship but seeks to illuminate the larger purpose behind it.

The Wisdom of the Higher Self

In QHHT sessions, practitioners often facilitate communication with a client’s Higher Self—a deeper, wiser aspect of their consciousness that holds the answers to life’s questions. Through this connection, individuals are able to gain insight into their experiences from a soul level. For those who have been victimized, this can be a transformative process, offering a new way of looking at their pain.

In many cases, the Higher Self will reveal that while the individual has experienced trauma, they are not defined by it. They are not helpless victims but rather powerful souls who are learning and growing through these challenging experiences. The Higher Self often encourages the person to explore what the soul is trying to learn through these events, whether it be resilience, forgiveness, self-love, or strength. This perspective empowers the individual, offering them a path to transcend their 'victimhood' and step into their own spiritual mastery.

Shifting from Victimhood to Empowerment

This shift in perspective—from seeing oneself as a victim to understanding the soul’s growth—is not intended to invalidate anyone’s experience. Rather, it offers a way out of the pain and suffering that can feel endless when we are trapped in the narrative of what may have been the catalyst for their suffering. The Higher Self, in its infinite wisdom, understands that every experience carries the potential for profound growth and healing, even if that growth is difficult to see from our human perspective.

Practitioners of QHHT are not telling people that their suffering is imagined or insignificant. Instead, they are inviting them to explore the possibility that their soul may have chosen certain experiences for the purpose of learning and evolution. This doesn’t mean the individual “deserved” the pain they went through, but rather that there is an opportunity to extract deeper meaning from those events. This is a powerful form of healing, as it moves people from feeling powerless to understanding the greater role they play in their soul’s journey.

Misunderstanding or Spiritual Insight?

The misunderstanding comes from a place of confusion between spiritual empowerment and psychological invalidation. While gaslighting manipulates people into doubting their truth, QHHT seeks to help individuals see beyond the limitations of their conscious mind, inviting them into a deeper spiritual truth. The process isn’t about dismissing the pain but rather giving the person a higher vantage point from which to understand it.

QHHT practitioners have had intimate conversations with the Higher Selves of many individuals, including those who have been victimized. What often emerges is a message of empowerment and love—a reminder that the soul is capable of incredible growth through life’s challenges. This doesn’t deny the difficulty of those experiences but reframes them as opportunities for transformation. The Higher Self, in its infinite compassion and wisdom, always seeks to help the individual understand their power and their ability to heal.

Conclusion

It is important to clarify that QHHT practitioners are not gaslighting victims. They are offering a spiritual perspective that seeks to empower individuals by helping them understand their life experiences from a soul level. Compassion is at the core of the work, and practitioners hold deep respect for the pain that people have endured. Through connection with the Higher Self, individuals can begin to see their experiences in a new light, one that honors their growth and evolution while acknowledging the reality of their suffering.

In this way, QHHT serves not to blame, but to heal—to help individuals reclaim their power, transform their pain, and move forward with a deeper understanding of their soul’s journey, when they are ready to do so..

​As most of you know, the Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT®) has garnered significant attention for its potential to unlock profound inner transformations. Many approach QHHT sessions with high hopes and expectations, often seeking immediate, miraculous healing. While QHHT is undeniably a powerful tool for self-discovery and healing, it's crucial to understand that it is not always a magic wand. Managing expectations is essential, as the shifts during QHHT sessions can be very subtle, occurring on multiple layers of existence, and vary significantly from person to person.

The Nature of QHHT Shifts

QHHT operates on the principle that the answers to our most profound questions and the solutions to our problems lie within us. The process involves accessing the subconscious mind through deep relaxation and guided visualization. One may experience many sensations, emotions, and insights during a session. Some may undergo dramatic, life-altering shifts, while others might experience barely imperceptible changes. It's essential to recognize that both experiences are valid, valuable, and deemed appropriate by the higher self.

Immediate vs. Gradual Healing

Expectations often revolve around the timeline of healing. Some anticipate immediate, spontaneous healing, while others hope for gradual improvement. The truth lies in the balance between these two scenarios. Immediate healing is indeed possible and has been reported in numerous QHHT sessions. However, it is equally common for healing to unfold gradually, revealing itself in layers and subtly influencing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors over time. We trust that your path is for your highest and best good.

The Unpredictability of Healing

One of the mysteries of QHHT lies in its unpredictability. Every individual is unique, and so is your healing journey. What works swiftly for one person might take time for another. There is no fixed formula for how QHHT will unfold for anyone. Embracing this uncertainty is imperative. Trust the process, acknowledge your experiences, and allow the healing energies and integration to work independently.

The Role of the Practitioner

In the QHHT journey, the practitioner plays a crucial role as a guide, guiding you through the delicate landscape of your subconscious mind. However, it's vital to understand that the practitioner is not the healer. The actual healing power resides within the individual seeking it. The practitioner acts as a facilitator, offering guidance and support, but the transformative energy is inherently within the person undergoing the session.

QHHT as a Self-Healing Modality

Comprehending QHHT as a self-healing methodology is crucial because it gives you the power to take charge of your healing journey. You can access your inner strength and resilience by recognizing that the healing energies reside within. This change in mindset frequently speeds up the healing process, enabling you to establish a deeper connection with your innate healing abilities.

Embracing the Journey


In QHHT, expectations must be held gently, like a fragile yet beautiful butterfly. Embrace the session as a journey into the depths of your consciousness, where healing unfolds naturally and authentically. Whether the shifts are dramatic or subtle, immediate or gradual, trust in the process and honor your unique experience. 

QHHT is not a one-size-fits-all solution but a personal odyssey toward self-discovery and healing. Everyone's journey is unique. By managing your expectations and understanding the profound yet subtle nature of QHHT, you open yourself to the limitless possibilities of your transformation, allowing healing to manifest in its own extraordinary way.

Courting disappointment

As I have deeply inquired about this subject and talked it over with those I hold in high esteem as well as my higher self, expectations can indeed set the stage for disappointment. Although it is rare in QHHT, it does bear mention and can be attributed to anything in life. We resist any other possible outcomes when we insist that things go a certain way. This resistance can lead to frustration and disillusionment when reality does not align with our expectations. Flexibility and openness to different outcomes can help mitigate this tendency toward disappointment.

Insisting on specific outcomes can prevent us from considering better alternatives. By fixating (a form of control) on one particular outcome, we may overlook opportunities or fail to adapt to changing circumstances that could lead to more favorable results. Being open to different possibilities allows us to embrace unexpected opportunities and potentially discover outcomes that surpass our initial expectations.

As a dear friend told me, "insistence IS resistance." 

All humans are learning to drop the expectations that stem from the ego mind and to go to the heart of openness that brings serenity. 

We all might want to go within and contemplate how our expectations court disappointment in our individual lives.  It certainly is a process to journey through.

​The fear of being alone can manifest in various forms, affecting individuals' mental and emotional well-being. Whether it's a reluctance to spend time in solitude or an overwhelming fear of isolation, this fear can have profound implications on one's quality of life and relationships. What are the underlying causes of this fear, and what are the solutions for overcoming it? 

Understanding the Fear of Being Alone 

Attachment Issues: 
At the core of the fear of being alone often lie attachment issues rooted in childhood experiences. Those who experienced inconsistent caregiving or neglect may develop insecure attachment styles, leading to a deep-seated fear of abandonment or rejection. This fear can persist into adulthood, influencing relationships and behaviors.

Low Self-Esteem: 
Those with low self-esteem may rely heavily on external validation and social interactions to feel worthy or accepted. The prospect of being alone can trigger feelings of inadequacy or unworthiness, driving a constant need for companionship and reassurance from others.

Anxiety Disorders: 
Anxiety disorders are mental health conditions that can cause excessive and persistent feelings of fear, worry, and anxiety. These conditions can significantly interfere with an individual's daily life, affecting their performance at school or work, relationships, and overall well-being. It's essential to seek professional help if you suspect that you or someone you know may have an anxiety disorder. It can intensify fears of being alone. The thought of being by oneself may cause intense feelings of anxiety, causing an individual to avoid solitude or constantly seek distractions to ease their discomfort.

Past Trauma: 
Past experiences of loneliness, trauma, or abandonment can leave lasting emotional scars, making it challenging for someone to be comfortable with solitude. The prospect of being alone may evoke painful memories or feelings of vulnerability, prompting a fear of experiencing similar pain or isolation.

Cultural Influences: 
Societal pressures and cultural norms prioritizing social connections and validation can contribute to the fear of being alone. The pervasive belief that happiness and fulfillment are synonymous with social acceptance may fuel anxieties about solitude and isolation. 

Depression: 
Depression can distort perceptions of self-worth and amplify feelings of loneliness. Those struggling with depression may find it challenging to enjoy solitary activities or derive satisfaction from their own company, further reinforcing their fear of being alone. 

Overcoming the Fear of Being Alone 

Therapy: 
An excellent beginning to overcoming the fear of being alone could be therapy, particularly approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or attachment-based therapy. Spiritual counseling or coaching can also be excellent tools. These approaches can help one explore the root causes of their fear of being alone and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Through various therapies, individuals can challenge negative thought patterns, build self-esteem, and cultivate greater self-reliance. 

Self-Reflection: 
Engaging in reflective practices, such as journaling or meditation, can provide valuable insights into one's fears and insecurities. Exploring underlying emotions and triggers can help individuals better understand their fear of being alone, leading to healing and self-discovery.

Building Healthy Relationships: 
Fostering meaningful connections with others based on mutual respect and support can help alleviate fears of being alone. People can cultivate a feeling of belonging and community by taking part in group activities and forming strong bonds with compassionate and empathetic friends. This can also offer a sense of security that lessens their dependence on constant social engagement.

Developing Independence: 
Learning to enjoy solitude and engage in fulfilling activities alone can empower people to overcome their fear of being alone. Individuals can cultivate a strong sense of self-reliance and resilience by pursuing hobbies, interests, and self-care practices independently. 

Exploring Self-Understanding 

QHHT Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) is a holistic healing modality that combines hypnosis and past-life regression to explore the subconscious mind and facilitate deep self-understanding. During a QHHT session, one enters a state of deep relaxation that allows them to access memories and emotions beyond their conscious awareness.

In the realm of the fear of being alone, a QHHT session may help you uncover underlying traumas or unresolved issues contributing to your fear. By delving into past experiences or subconscious beliefs, you can gain clarity and perspective on the origins of your fear and begin the process of healing. 

Through QHHT, you can also access inner resources and strengths to overcome  fear of being alone. By connecting with your higher self or spiritual guidance, you can receive advice, suggestions and support to navigate your fears and embrace solitude as an opportunity for growth. 

In conclusion, the fear of being alone is a multifaceted issue influenced by various factors, including attachment patterns, self-esteem, and past experiences. By tackling these root causes and exploring holistic healing methods like QHHT, individuals can begin a journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment, ultimately achieving inner peace and fulfillment.

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.

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 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.

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 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.***

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!

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.

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.

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…

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!”

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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,

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,
