Dolores Cannon QHHT: Her Life, Her Work and an Interview

Quick answer: Dolores Cannon QHHT refers to the Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique, a hypnosis method developed by Dolores Cannon (1931 to 2014), an American hypnotherapist and author who spent decades researching past life regression. She founded Ozark Mountain Publishing and wrote 19 books. The interview below introduces her ideas about consciousness in her own words.

Who was Dolores Cannon?

Dolores Cannon was born on April 15, 1931, in St. Louis, Missouri. She trained herself as a hypnotherapist and began working with hypnosis in 1968. From 1979 she focused on past life regression, and for the rest of her career she worked with clients and gathered the information that came through their sessions.

She passed away on October 18, 2014, at the age of 83. Her daughter, Julia Cannon, continues to teach her method.

What is Dolores Cannon’s QHHT?

QHHT stands for Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique. It’s a hypnosis method Dolores developed over her years of practice. In her approach, a practitioner guides a client into a deep state of hypnosis to explore past lives and to ask questions of a part of consciousness she called the subconscious.

Her method is one of several approaches to regression. Every practitioner brings their own training and style, and readers who are curious about any method can research it and choose what feels right for them.

What did Dolores Cannon write?

Dolores wrote 19 books about her research. Among the best known are:

• Five Lives Remembered
• Jesus and the Essenes
• Between Death and Life
• The Convoluted Universe series
• The Three Waves of Volunteers and the New Earth

In 1992 she founded Ozark Mountain Publishing to bring her work and that of other authors to readers. Her books have been translated into more than 20 languages.

What does this interview cover?

The video above is the first part of a six-part interview, titled “Awakening to Current Shifts in Consciousness.” It was recorded and shared by a third party. In it, Dolores talks about her research and her view of how consciousness is changing.

Watching it is a chance to hear her speak directly about the ideas she spent decades exploring. As with any interview, take what resonates with you and leave what doesn’t.

Why does her work still matter to seekers?

For many people, Dolores Cannon’s books were their first introduction to past life regression. She wrote about ordinary people discovering lives in other times and places, and her work invited readers to see consciousness as something larger than one lifetime.

That curiosity is often where a personal journey begins. People read a book or watch an interview, and a question takes hold: “Have I lived before? What might I discover?”

How does QHHT compare with Mira Kelley’s past life regression?

Both are guided experiences that use a relaxed, focused state to explore other lifetimes. QHHT, as publicly described, uses deep hypnosis and a question period with what Dolores called the subconscious.

In my sessions, clients explore past lives and also future lives, and they receive guidance from their Higher Self. We look at how those experiences relate to present relationships, patterns and choices, so the insights can be applied in daily life. Each approach has its own structure, and you can choose the one that suits your goals.

How is past life regression practiced today?

Past life regression has grown into a field with many teachers and styles. Some sessions focus on detailed memories of other lives. Others emphasize insight, emotional understanding and connection with a higher, wiser perspective.

In my own work, I guide clients to explore past and future lives and to receive guidance from their Higher Self. The focus is on understanding: why certain patterns repeat, what a relationship is here to teach, and how to bring that wisdom into daily life. If you’d like to understand the basics first, What Is Past Life Regression explains what a session involves.

How can you explore your own past lives?

If an interview like this has sparked your curiosity, here are some ways to begin:

1. Notice your attractions. Which places, eras or cultures have always fascinated you?
2. Pay attention to recurring themes. Patterns in your life may point to lessons that span lifetimes.
3. Keep a journal. Record dreams, impressions and moments of déjà vu. The Past Life Regression Journal can help you capture them.
4. Read and reflect. My book, Beyond Past Lives, shares what my clients and I have learned through regression.
5. Experience a session. A guided regression lets you explore your own memories with support.

What questions can you bring to an interview like this?

When you watch a recorded conversation with a researcher, it helps to listen with your own questions in mind. You might ask:

• Which ideas feel familiar, as if I already knew them?
• Which ideas spark resistance, and what might that resistance be showing me?
• What would I want to ask if I could join the conversation?
• How could I explore this question through my own experience?

Writing down your answers turns watching into a personal inquiry. You may find that the most valuable part of the interview is the curiosity it awakens in you.

What can you take from her story?

Dolores Cannon’s path shows how far curiosity can carry a person. She began with a question about hypnosis and spent the rest of her life following where it led. Whatever method you’re drawn to, that same willingness to ask and to listen can open the door to your own discoveries.
