But I Wasn't Hypnotized!

By Christi Clemons Hoffman, Level 3 QHHT Practitioner

I received an email recently from a client saying that she felt she wasn't "hypnotized" in her session—that she could hear all the sounds in the building and outside the building and even hear me sipping water. She had tried to pop up a few times during the session, but I instructed her to close her eyes and lay back down. The client has just started the Level 1 class and wanted to have a session to experience QHHT for herself. She was disappointed, as her session did not match her expectation of hypnosis.

I replied that as practitioners we find that it truly doesn't matter how ‘deep’ someone is or feels that they are. Clients have profound sessions at whatever level they are comfortable with. In fact, I recently listened to Jesus and the Essenes, and in the introduction Dolores talks about this very thing. She also reiterated this in one of her recoded lectures.

Yes, you will hear everything that happens in your surroundings during a session. There is no way to turn off the sounds inside or outside the building and no way to turn off your ears! This is why there is a suggestion in the induction about any sounds that you hear fading and becoming part of the background. There are also suggestions we give during the session to disregard any noises. Most people understand and aren't bothered, but there are a handful who might be at first. Several months ago I had a client who had two sessions with Dolores herself. He said her office was a converted gas station near the highway and he could hear highway noises the whole time.

As the practitioner, we look for many signs of hypnosis in the client: changes in breath, relaxed muscles, changes in voice. The client who reached out had all those signs, plus emotion (which you cannot make up), time distortion, and Rapid Eye Movements--LOTS of them, and showing the white parts of her eyes. You cannot fake this. I've tried, just to see if it's possible!

We have so many preconceived notions of what hypnosis truly is or is supposed to be that it is difficult to understand what it really is, which is a naturally relaxed state. The client did try to fight it, but some people do—they even did with Dolores. The client who had two sessions with Dolores experienced this with her—literally. She told him, "We're not finished yet. Lay back down and close your eyes. You can do this.” He had great sessions with her.

When my client tried pop up during the session, her eyes were definitely altered, which I can't describe accurately except that I have seen that look in my daughter's eyes when she is sleepwalking and in other clients on occasion. It was clear she was not truly awake or fully conscious. After 8 years and more than 560 clients, I have only had three clients successfully fight me and refuse to relax and only three who did not remember anything, like Dolores' favorite subject, “Katie" (Jesus and the Essenes, A Soul Remembers Hiroshima). Everyone else is on a spectrum of awareness.

As practitioners, we also know that each session is unique to the client. A client will go to the depth of relaxation they feel comfortable with and have the experience their Subconscious (higher self) feels they need to have. The client in question received much healing and insight--and had several releases of pent up emotion with it.

In the QHHT practitioner’s forum there are hundreds of questions about the client "not feeling hypnotized" and twice as many answers about it. If you feel you are not “hypnotized” during your session with any practitioner, the best advice I can give is to listen to your recording. I think you will be amazed at what came out of you.

Getting my brain kicked in Eureka Springs

6/22/2016

Christi's update:

This past week has been intense! I just got back from Eureka Springs, AR, where I've been in Quantum Healing Hypnosis Training getting my "mind twisted like a pretzel," as Dolores Cannon would say! 

39 hopefuls were in class all day last Wed-Friday, studying at night, and all weekend we practiced our brains out. Literally. Some people didn't finish their practice sessions until 2 a.m.! Yesterday, during the last practice session, my little brain was just done, and I couldn't go under. OVERLOAD! Monday we came back together, shared notes, talked about what we did wrong and how to fix it, and took our certifying test.

QHHT work is beyond fascinating. During our practice session, I was regressed to a lifetime as a bookmaker Jew in Spain, widowed and devastated, running for my life because a neighbor told the Inquisition I was Jewish. It was a lesson in betrayal. 
My partners had lifetimes pondering the beauty of a dandelion and seeing an angel while dying on a battlefield; as a blue orb holding the light grid for our planet with all its might to banish darkness; blue energy--just energy; and a fairy who played with "grumpy" trees. Not what I expected at all! 

After being shown these lives, we visited with each subjects' Subconscious. That's where the real magic begins. We had lessons from the Subconscious about the true meaning of life: "Love! It's so simple, yet you don't realize it! Love, love, love, love love." About the necessity of FUN. About energy, about the dire need to anchor light in the coming earth changes. About meditation--"30 minutes, morning, night, morning, night, morning, night." Our bodies were scanned and repaired, and our lessons delivered so that we could actually learn them. 

What I like about this work is that you get to play detective. As someone reaches a past life, I get to figure out where, when, and who they are from the clues they give. It's not easy. I've always been a fan of social history--clothing, architecture, ornament, etc. I love it. Of course, I also really love being able to visit with the source of all knowledge. I really feel I'm in my element in this. 

I can't wait to start seeing clients. I have some scheduled already to be guinea pigs, and I can use more! The sessions typically last 5-6 hours and include a lengthy interview, so it is time-intensive for the client and for me. But the results are fascinating. 


These sessions will be done on a love offering basis and will be offered on the website when I've done 20 practice sessions. If you would like to schedule one, please visit the "contact" page.
