Lol every time! Every single time! I’m met with a deer-in-the-headlights look or crickets hahaha. That “does not compute” type of energy lol. People get really lost on the word Quantum let alone the word Hypnosis. And I totally get it! That’s what I’m here for! So let’s get to it!
Quantum Hypnosis (QH) has its origins, and I will say, I am not versed in its complete history (Google is amazing, wink wink lol) …
A brilliant woman, ahead of her time, named Dolores Cannon pioneered the modality. From my understanding, she started experimenting with deeper states of consciousness in hypnosis with clients which became known as Past Life Regression. The name then evolved to Quantum Hypnosis Healing Technique (QHHT) as her practice evolved when PLR did not encompass the vastness of her clients’ subconscious experiences.
I was not trained directly under Dolores Cannon’s original teachings, but my teacher was trained in a branch called Beyond Quantum Healing (BQH). The only difference between QHHT and BQH is that QHHT is only done in person whereas BQH evolved to service folks through the online platform. My teacher then developed her own style and method from BQH combined with her training and experiences as a Life Coach.
Breaking It Dooown
So I’m going to explain the definition of Quantum Hypnosis in my own words, and in the way I understand it because that’s just how my brain works lol. And I often bring things back to the basics, by breaking them down into two separate words. (We have to thank my partner for his contribution to the way I explain this modality because I am the opposite of his logic, science, facts, seeing-is-believing type of character. Lol while I’m more of the adventure-seeking, curious, abstract, and mystical vibe!)
Quantum on its own means the most basic form. In science, this refers to the atom. Visualize your body to the smallest part, the atom.
Hypnosis is a state of trance also known as the theta brainwave state.
There are more active brainwave states when we are in our waking (Conscious) moments, called Gamma and Beta. This is where we experience worry, concentration, problem-solving, planning, anxiousness, sadness, fear, anger, limiting beliefs, your mom or dad’s voice telling you that you’re doing it wrong, that voice that says what you’re seeing doesn’t make sense, and the list goes on. This is the Critical Mind.
The theta brainwave state reached in hypnosis is that state of mind just right before we fall asleep, light sleep, or immediately after we wake up. Our brain waves move slower and we are in a state of deep relaxation.
I see it as layers. The deeper you go into the mind, the slower your brainwaves are, and you’ll then find yourself in the Subconscious state of mind. Tie it with the word Quantum, and we’re in the more “basic form” of our minds meaning the space of most clarity.
So what are we doing in this place anyway? Lol like why do I even want to go there?
Ok first, I know that folks, my past self included, are historically scared of what is deep inside their minds. I mean it’s warranted. Have you ever feared the dark? Have you ever feared not knowing what lies ahead? Have you ever feared the deep blue ocean not knowing if a shark is coming at you up ahead? (LOL hmm that one’s oddly specific …). Have you ever feared the unknown? That is a basic Primal Instinct.

Forgive yourself for being human. It’s totally normal lol. Also, the mind is where our fears live followed by, sometimes, a downward spiral of anxiety and fear thoughts ... yikes! lol … The brain is messed up like that sometimes. I would only recommend hypnosis if you truly felt ready.
Fears aside. When you are ready the time will come. Maybe some things need to be worked out in terms of mental health or whatever your unique situation may be. Trust that if you don’t feel ready, it’s probably true…
Secondly, folks have an overgeneralization of what hypnosis is like based on mainstream media and Hollywood. It’s like me, as a nurse, watching medical dramas. I HARD EYE ROLLL TO THE MOON lol. And my partner hard eye rolls back at me after I’ve said, “They’re doing it wrong,” for the 5th time in one hour hahaha.
YOU CAN’T HYPNOTIZE SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT WANT TO BE HYPNOTIZED. HARD FACTSSS. Free Will is a thing!
“But Christian, what about the hypnotists that pull random people from the audience?” Ok ok, I can see your point, and why you would think so. Show Hypnotists are trained entertainers. They are only going to pick someone from the audience who has their hands raised to volunteer. Someone eager to participate.
Lol now that we got that all sorted out …
Why would someone want to do this Quantum Hypnosis thing in the first place?
Knowing that we all have this Conscious dialogue (fears, limiting beliefs, etc.) QH can be a beautiful tool to get to the core of your truest-to-you answers. If we wanna get woo about it, which I’m all about, this is where we get connected to our souls in my opinion. In session, I address this version of ourselves as the “Higher Self.” The version of ourselves we are always growing into and learning to meet in our present selves. At the same time, we are met with very real human experiences that are often hard to navigate in the overthinking and indecision when we are in Gamma and Beta brainwave states. The mind realms of limiting beliefs.

There are also a multitude of modalities to choose from like meditation and automatic writing if you want to reach your soul answers. All of which I AM absolutely a huge fan of and often encourage my coaching clients to dive into. So don’t ever think that there isn’t another way to approach something or only one way to go about a thing.
I do say to my hypnosis clients, “I don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s always a surprise. Just keep an open mind with no expectations.” Let’s just say hey, if you’re drawn to it, if you have even just a tinge of curiosity, why not try it? You’ll never know until you try.
What do I even want to know from Quantum Hypnosis Session?
Intentions and Questions for sessions are truly unlimited.
My favorite go-to, which hasn’t steered me wrong yet, is what is going on with you as my client in the present moment? (something we figure out together in the Consultation). In my spiritual journey, I find that the answers are often right in front of my nose lol.
Here are a few examples of the many topics I’ve worked on with clients:
Love
Money
Emotions
Career
Past Lives
Relationships
Alternate Lifetimes
Inner Child/Childhood Memories
Spirit Guides
I hope that this helped dispel any myths or fears and provided some clarity. Feel free to leave a comment, a thought, or a question below or reach me in my DMs on IG @crispi_nachos!
