Inquiry during Intensity

If you listen to astrological or energetics podcasts, there is a common thread right now of intensity and rebirth. The news feeds have plenty to share on this as well. Indeed, we are in the Fire Horse year, stampeding ahead with fire in our wake. We are figuratively and literally burning this year.


I feel the intensity every day too, and have to up my self care routines. These look like baths or foot soaks, sitting on grass for a moment, budgeting news time, indulging in classical music.


It's the catalytic change we're living through, quick shifts we aren't ready for in our nervous systems, collapse of the old that first must surface. This year it is all happening at once. So anticipate moments of overwhelm, retreat, burnout. These will hopefully be counter-balanced by the clarity of what you want and see changing, within or with community. The energy is there some days to take action, to vocalize, or complete something. It will be unique to everyone. But it is important to stay grounded.



Inquiry Can be Gentle

I am seeing this theme in the inquiries for quantum healing hypnosis (QHHT) sessions this Summer. Recently I had a session booked by a client who feels inspired, not necessarily in crisis. An unnamed itch is under their skin, they don't fit in their life as comfortably.

It's subtle, not loud. We can work with that!


These more open-ended lines of questioning can be amazing. They are spacious, curious, surprising.


Here is how I normally approach spaciousness in a session in my Asheville office. The interview portion will first explore the sensations and broad themes to see what they want to be called, how we can inquire to best match their energy. In the hypnosis portion, we are giving more creative license to the Subconscious. I'll navigate it accordingly for the client's best interest. And we will always learn the relevance to your life now. This we will discuss for clarity after the hypnosis and before you leave my Asheville office.


Inquiry Doesn't Need a Crisis

If inquiry can be this gentle, it can also be timely. You don't have to wait for anything to fall apart first. Quantum Healing Hypnosis (QHHT) can be a grand, life changing experience. Most people will only have one session, and may try to save it for a big moment. But please don't wait for the "perfect" moment of crisis. Don't wait for your world to fall apart. It's really not necessary.

Yes, these sessions are amazing support and comfort. But these deep hypnosis sessions are also a way to stay ahead of discomfort. Our daily choices shape the outcome of the next moment. Our Subconscious gives us the exact experience and information that will serve you at this time. You may get the pep talk you need to navigate with more grace.


My call to action would be to journal on the intensity for a few minutes.

What is a form of grounding that is easy and works for you?

What shifted quickly for you, perhaps unexpectedly this last week?

What is one question you would ask your Subconscious if having coffee or tea together?


If sitting with these questions surfaces more than you can hold alone, know that QHHT isn't the only form available with me. I'm beginning to offer coaching rooted in the Sacred Depths training I completed this year — a way of working together in the ongoing, unfolding sense, rather than the single deep session QHHT offers. More on that is coming soon. For now, consider this an early door left open for you to inquire


If you want to sit with these themes further, these are the voices I return to regularly:
