Within two days, I came across three teachers—Mooji, Bashar, and Steve Rother—all touching on the essence of hypnosis: consciousness, belief, and the shaping of our inner reality.
None of them are hypnotists, yet each revealed something profoundly relevant to my work.
? Watch the clips and join the reflection: What if hypnosis is simply a conscious participation in what we’re already doing—all the time?
It was a rainy early summer day — the perfect weather for wandering through museums and art galleries while traveling. My choice that day was the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille.
As usual, I didn’t bother with museum maps, brochures or audio guides. In a building like this, I prefer to meander and let my feet decide. And so, moving from one hall to another, I suddenly stopped. In the corner of an adjacent room, my eyes caught a whimsical painting.
In a powerful session of past life regression, a client uncovers a 16th-century royal incarnation—and the lingering effects of a spell cast by a jealous aunt. Through deep hypnotherapy and energy work, including the use of a pink crystal ball and intuitive healing rituals, the energetic residue of the spell is finally dissolved. This story reveals how unresolved past life experiences can impact present-day emotions, relationships, and spiritual well-being—and how they can be transformed.
A new client came to me today. Let’s call him Gary. He spoke of the failure patterns in his personal and professional life—a long chain of disappointments, and the looming fear of more to come.
I asked him, “Why now? Why is this the right time to come to therapy, especially hypnotherapy?”
Gary admitted he hadn’t even considered therapy for those patterns and fears. But a recent conversation with a trusted friend—about how he couldn’t recall happy memories from childhood or teenage years—prompted his friend to suggest “hypnosis regression therapy.”
Gary trusts this friend deeply. “So,” he said, “I asked my secretary, ChatGPT, for suggestions. Your name came up as the number one recommendation.”
When I started my career as a hypnotherapist, I didn’t realize that doing past life regressions would be a huge part of my work. It somehow turned out that way, if you consider that I have written three books, all directly or indirectly about past lives, and I host past life workshops in the West End and Kitsilano Community Centres in Vancouver.
It was Cameron’s second session. He returned to the office reporting a “successful” experience with his new girlfriend. Cameron didn’t have many questions when he first contacted me. He simply made a Saturday morning appointment. Because it was a weekend,...
I sat in the semi-dark room quietly for a little longer, breathing. How many times when a client come for a structured past life regression, and the subconscious mind takes us on a symbolic journey? A few examples came to my mind. I knew when the clients trusted and went for it, at the end of the session, the symbols were all so easily decoded and the solutions to their current problems were revealed. When the clients insisted that they didn’t do it right, and insisted it had to be exactly the way that was portrayed in books like Brian Weiss’, they got more frustrated by their “incorporative” subconscious mind.
“Forget Me Not” is the name of a flower. I don’t know why it’s named into one so easy to remember yet almost poetic, but the moment you hear it, you won’t forget it. Of course, I heard the name in Chinese first: ????
Even though it’s an unforgettable name, I never knew what it looked like until 2005.
I was fresh and new in the country of Canada. I had a boyfriend who I had met back in China. He is a French. My early years of new immigrant life were spent between Canada and China, and France and Switzerland, where he had homes. On top of our mutual interest in travelling which had originally brought us together, in those early years of my new immigrant life when I was supposed to be physically more in Canada (1095 days out of 4 years in Canada to apply for citizenship), we met up in Burma, Vietnam, Nepal, Bhutan, Mexico, and Peru. You may wonder why I had bothered to immigrate to Canada when I was developing a stable relationship with a French person.
In this 36-minute podcast, Bethany Gettis and I spoke of food, New Year Resolutions, letting go of control, diets, parenting, and how memories work. At one point, I spoke of how our mind is like a mansion with many rooms, and memories are housed in each room (therefore memories are state-based). Just as I finished saying that, I got carried away by my analogy, and wandered into another room in the mansion of my mind. I had to ask Bethany, “Sorry, what was your question again?” to get back on track. We all get sidetracked by our minds, it is how memories work. I laughed at it when I was watching the Podcast video tonight.
As I approach the last month of being 55 years old, I have started to ponder many things.
When I was younger, I looked at old people. From my young heart, “oldness” was their identity. Like “young-ness” was my assumed identity. Like, they were born old. And I will be young forever. Yes, we all get old. I could say it back then too; however, I only knew it conceptually. I didn’t feel it, not like the way I could feel living in another country, away from my birth country, while I still lived in China.
We all live in the here-and-now and we all form ideas about what constitutes reality. Sometimes we confuse our ideas about reality with reality itself. What we think of as reality is based on our upbringing and learning from our experiences. As such, any ideas and opinions about reality can’t help but be subjective and judgmental.
Therefore, the eye reproduces; it does not see. The ear translates; it does not hear. When our ideas about reality are not in alignment with our desires, we think reality is bad and not one that we want to be in, instead of questioning our ideas about it.
