Recently, a woman booked a session with me to resolve creative and intuitive blocks, frustrated by the lack of success in her work and meditation for direction and wisdom. She's a writer working on a book and, at times, feels the idea or right edit for a better story can almost be seen or tasted. You know that feeling people express as being, "Right there!" "At the tip of my tongue!" or "At the tip of my fingers, ready to write"? Success to her means sharing her ideas with the world and attaining the levels of reach of her wildest dreams.
During the conversation with her subconscious during her session, I learned that our creativity comes from our subconscious. We are inspired by our experiences from past lives and where we come from—whether you call it Gaia, Heaven, or, as I have discovered, the most common name used on the other side: "Satori," meaning "Presence in full enlightenment." We remember our experiences, including the otherworldly, and become inspired to write stories about them. We dream and have visions of different fictional creatures like dragons, and when I inquired about dragons, these powerful, beautiful creatures reflected our being. We see those intended reflections and feel inspired. When we say we need to "get in the zone" or "tap into our creative juices," we specifically mean our subconscious—even when we haven’t quite connected to the truth that the subconscious is what's being tapped.
Past-life regression hypnosis is used to heal all forms of trauma, allowing for deep emotional release, personal transformation, and a healthier life. This process helps to unblock suppressed energy, including intuitive gifts and creativity, restoring a sense of clarity and inner alignment. My client went through two past lives to see the patterns that made sense of her blockers, including fears, suppressed emotions she was afraid to feel, and insecurities and confidence issues keeping her from stepping out in the public eye to share her art. Her session transformed her life and opened her up to the success she had been manifesting. It was after she accessed information from her past lives and entered the healing phase—where we spoke directly to the subconscious—that we asked about the origins of creativity and how to tap into that resource for creative flow.
I have been exploring manifestation lately. Many people come to me seeking understanding on how to achieve their dreams, whether that means supporting themselves through their dream business or gaining success in content creation, writing, or art in all its forms. They talk about manifesting, yet they find themselves in a place of frustration—feeling unseen, uncared for, or even questioning whether they have guides at all. Like they were forgotten in their assignments. Fear is the block. The missing link is operating as if it has already happened. In the human experience, we default to operating out of fear.
Take me, for example. My manifestation for success was to break out of the matrix of stressful day jobs in Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) and Big Tech. I am a former analyst who was severely burned out and traumatized by gig culture as a neurodivergent person—full disclosure, Level 2 Autistic and ADHD. On the autistic side, I need consistency, and with both autism and ADHD, I need work in areas of deep interest. I loved GIS because I am hyper-interested in maps. I was a mapmaker. I worked for Apple Maps, Google Maps, and did environmental mapping and analysis for FEMA. I pounced out of bed every day because I was helping people, and that’s where my heart is in my work—helping people. Even in my Apple and Google Maps positions, I worked on projects like COVID mapping and mapping underrepresented areas to ensure resources could reach them efficiently. My first career job at Apple Maps started the same week the United States went into its first COVID lockdown. Not only was I fortunate to have remote work to support my wife and me, but I was also part of a solution for COVID and disaster relief.
What burned me out was low wages, layoffs, and the instability of gig culture (contract work). As a neurodivergent person, every time I had to uproot any part of my life, I was deeply stressed and often traumatized. During my six years in temporary contract work, I was healing myself with EMDR and talk therapy (2.5 years) and hypnotherapy (5-PATH and 7-PATH) for childhood and religious trauma. I was inspired to become a hypnotherapist during my own 5-PATH hypnosis. In my final session, I was taken through a subconscious echo to discover what I was drawn to do at this time, and the answer was clear: train in hypnotherapy.
I delayed for a couple of years because of financial fears. But last summer (2024), two TikTok viewers came forward with messages from Spirit. They didn’t know the specifics, but I did. As soon as my highly intuitive self heard their words, the vision exploded. I had been learning about Dolores Cannon and her Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT). I didn't feel drawn to the techniques used on me but to train in her method. That day, there was a massive sale, making the Level 1 course financially accessible. In shock, I shared my experience on TikTok LIVE, and my viewers chanted, “Stop thinking! Just do it! Apply for the course. Don’t wait any longer.” So, I did. And my life changed forever.
I was working my final GIS job on a FEMA contract while training and building Ethereal Connections as a medium. Eventually, I had to face my last nightmare—the test that would teach me how to manifest and fully trust my intuition. I lost my last day job. Depression sank in. Financial fear overwhelmed me. I saw myself as a failure—not just as a professional who loved GIS but as a wife providing for her family. I screamed into pillows, vented, and finally said, "No more." I would rather work in any other industry than continue in tech or GIS, where layoffs and instability are constant.
I cried out to my guides, "What do I do now?" Their response: "Trust that your needs will be met. Pour into your business full-time." My wife and I agreed that I would job hunt while also growing Ethereal Connections. But every promising GIS contract fell through. My frustration and fear deepened. Then, Spirit asked, "If your business were overwhelming with success, would you still feel the need to job hunt?" The answer was no. I realized I was still operating out of fear.
I did a hypnosis session to see what was blocking me. My subconscious revealed that fear itself was my block. If success had just been handed to me, I wouldn’t have learned to trust my intuition. I wouldn’t have grown. I let go of fear. And my business exploded. Within two weeks, my TikTok following doubled. My videos and lives gained major visibility. I began booking sessions consistently. My wife and I discussed retirement, health insurance, and stability—things I never thought I’d achieve through my business alone. Every time business slows down, Spirit reminds me: "Are you slipping into fear again? Let go. Surrender. Trust." The only thing that makes your manifestations "pipe dreams" is the fear that blocks it from becoming reality.
Hypnosis allows us to find and remove the blocks preventing us from achieving our goals, dreams, and aspirations. It heals trauma, unblocks intuitive gifts, and, most importantly, helps us release fear. The missing link in manifestation isn’t just belief—it’s surrender. It’s trust.
Make a list of your goals, questions, heartaches, and worries. Then, book a hypnotherapy session. Healing and success are yours for the taking.
