Dolores Cannon and the QHHT Method
The journey of a pioneer of regression hypnosis
Dolores Cannon was an American hypnotherapist, author, and pioneer of regression hypnosis who spent over 50 years researching human consciousness, reincarnation, past lives, and the profound potential of the human mind.
During her long practice, she developed a unique method known as the Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique® (QHHT®). This method allows a person to enter a very deep state of relaxation and connect with that part of themselves that Dolores called the Subconscious, Higher Self, or Oversoul.
Today, QHHT® is used by practitioners around the world as a gentle and profound tool for self-discovery, personal transformation, and understanding life’s connections.
How it all started
In 1968, Dolores Cannon and her husband Johnny were working with simple hypnosis to help people quit smoking or change their habits.
During one session, however, their client spontaneously began describing the life of another woman living in Chicago in the 1920s. Her voice, demeanor, and personality changed.
This experience marked the beginning of a lifelong exploration of past lives, consciousness, and the human soul.
At a time when past life regression was virtually nonexistent as a well-known concept, Dolores had no books or teachers to guide her. This allowed her to experiment freely and gradually create her own unique method.
QHHT Method
QHHT® is a method of deep hypnotic relaxation during which the client enters a very deep state of consciousness – similar to the moments just before falling asleep or waking up.
In this state, they can:
- experience memories from past lives,
- gain a deeper understanding of current situations,
- discover recurring patterns and connections,
- connect with their Subconscious,
- gain answers to personal questions, and sometimes experience deep emotional or energetic release.
Dolores believed that the Subconscious will only ever show what is important and beneficial to a person at that moment.
The Subconscious According to Dolores Cannon
Dolores used the term “Subconscious” differently from classical psychology.
She did not see it simply as a repository of memories, but as a higher intelligence – a part of ourselves that is constantly connected to Source, the soul and deeper knowledge.
According to her, this part:
- knows our entire life story,
- understands our emotions and relationships,
- understands the connections of past experiences, and can offer guidance, insight and support.
During a QHHT® session, a space is opened for communication with this deeper level of consciousness.
Past lives and deeper understanding
One of the cornerstones of QHHT® is past life regression.
Many people spontaneously experience situations from other times, cultures, or periods of their lives during a session. These experiences often bring:
- understanding of current relationships,
- clarification of
- recurring life themes,
- release of emotions,
or a deeper understanding of their own life path.
Dolores Cannon has recorded thousands of such experiences throughout her career, gradually building an extensive library of knowledge about consciousness, the soul, and human existence.

QHHT® and the present

“The answers we seek are often not found outside… but within ourselves.”
— Dolores Cannon
