How It Works
How Does QHHT Work?
Explore Your Subconscious Mind. Discover New Perspectives. Connect With Yourself on a Deeper Level.
The Technique
Developed by Dolores Cannon.
Have you ever wondered why certain patterns keep repeating in your life? Why some fears seem to have no obvious explanation? Or why you feel drawn to certain people, places, or experiences?
Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) offers a unique opportunity to explore these questions through a deeply relaxed, hypnotic state.
Developed by Dolores Cannon, QHHT is a form of hypnosis that combines subconscious exploration with experiences often described as past life regression.
During a session, you’re gently guided into a relaxed state where you may experience vivid imagery, memories, emotions, or symbolic scenes. Some people interpret these experiences as glimpses into past lives, while others see them as expressions of the imagination or subconscious mind.
There is no right or wrong experience. Each session is personal, and what emerges is unique to you.
Step by Step
Your QHHT Session: Step by Step.
We Begin With a Conversation.
Every QHHT session starts with getting to know you.
We’ll talk about your life, your experiences, the challenges you’re facing, and what you’d like to explore.
You might be seeking clarity about a relationship, trying to understand a recurring emotional pattern, or simply curious about past lives and consciousness.
You’re also encouraged to bring a list of questions you’d like to explore during the session.
This conversation helps me understand your intentions and creates a comfortable, trusting environment before we begin.
Entering a Deeply Relaxed State.
Once you’re comfortable, I’ll guide you through a gentle hypnosis process.
Using relaxation techniques and verbal guidance, you’ll gradually enter a state of focused attention and deep relaxation.
You don’t need any previous experience with meditation or hypnosis.
You won’t be unconscious or under someone else’s control. Hypnosis is a collaborative process, and you can communicate or ask to stop at any time.
Exploring Past Lives & Subconscious Experiences.
This is often the part of QHHT that people find most fascinating.
While in hypnosis, you may begin to experience scenes, images, emotions, or narratives that feel as though they belong to another time or place.
Some people describe experiencing an entirely different lifetime. Others encounter symbolic experiences, familiar memories, or impressions that are difficult to put into words.
You may find yourself exploring themes connected to:
- Relationships and emotional attachments
- Recurring patterns or fears
- Feelings of being stuck
- Personal identity and life direction
- Spiritual questions and a sense of purpose
- Experiences that carry personal meaning
I’ll gently guide you through the experience, asking questions and helping you describe what comes to mind.
You don’t need to force anything or try to imagine a particular story. Simply remain open to whatever arises.
Connecting With the Subconscious.
In QHHT, this stage is traditionally described as connecting with the Higher Self or Subconscious.
Within the QHHT framework, this is understood as a source of inner wisdom, insight, and understanding.
During this part of the session, I’ll introduce the questions you’ve prepared and invite you to explore any thoughts, impressions, or responses that emerge.
Questions might include:
- Why do I keep repeating the same relationship patterns?
- What’s holding me back from making a change?
- Why do certain situations trigger such strong emotions?
- What do I need to understand about this stage of my life?
- How can I feel more confident and at peace with myself?
- What direction feels most meaningful to me?
Some people experience this stage as a meaningful inner dialogue, while others find that it brings new perspectives or unexpected reflections.
The Higher Self is a spiritual concept within QHHT, rather than a scientifically established separate consciousness.
Returning & Reflecting on Your Experience.
At the end of the hypnosis, I’ll gently guide you back to your usual state of awareness.
We’ll take time to discuss what you experienced, what stood out, and any insights you’d like to explore further.
Some people leave feeling deeply relaxed. Others feel curious, emotional, inspired, or simply thoughtful.
There is no expectation that you must experience something extraordinary.
The purpose is to give yourself the time and space to explore, reflect, and connect with your inner world.
What to Expect
What Does QHHT Feel Like?
One of the most common questions I hear is: What will I actually feel during hypnosis?
For many people, hypnosis feels similar to being deeply absorbed in a daydream or entering that peaceful state just before falling asleep.
You may feel physically relaxed while your attention becomes focused on your inner experience.
Some people see vivid images. Others notice emotions, sensations, thoughts, or stories unfolding.
And some people experience very little imagery at all.
Every person responds differently to hypnosis, and no particular experience can be guaranteed.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions.
Still wondering something? I’d be happy to talk it through with you before you book.
Will I lose control during hypnosis?+
No. Hypnosis doesn’t mean surrendering control of your mind or actions. You remain an active participant in the experience and can communicate or stop the session whenever you wish.
Do I have to believe in past lives for QHHT to work?+
Not at all. You can approach the experience with curiosity rather than a particular spiritual belief. Some people interpret their experiences spiritually, while others view them as symbolic or imaginative. Both approaches can provide opportunities for personal reflection.
What if I can’t be hypnotized?+
People respond to hypnosis differently. You don’t need to have any special ability, but the depth and nature of the experience vary from person to person. I’ll guide you through the process at a comfortable pace, without pressure to achieve a particular result.
Will I remember my session?+
Many people remember much or all of their hypnosis experience, although recall varies. Some moments may feel especially vivid, while others may be less clear.
How long does a QHHT session last?+
QHHT sessions are typically longer than conventional hypnotherapy appointments because they include an in-depth conversation, hypnosis, and time for reflection afterward. It’s generally recommended to set aside several uninterrupted hours.
Can QHHT help with physical or emotional conditions?+
Some people pursue QHHT as a complementary practice for relaxation, self-exploration, or spiritual reflection. However, QHHT has not been scientifically established as a treatment for physical illness or mental health conditions and should never replace medical care, psychotherapy, or prescribed treatment.
