Dolores Cannon - Icon Profile | Alexandria
Dolores Cannon (1931-2014) was an American hypnotherapist, author, and self-styled past-life regressionist who pioneered a unique form of hypnosis therapy called Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT). Initially working as a traditional hypnotherapist in the 1960s, Cannon's practice evolved dramatically after she discovered what she claimed was a method to access past lives and universal knowledge through deep-state hypnosis.
The roots of Cannon's work can be traced to 1968 when she first studied hypnosis with her husband Johnny Cannon. What began as conventional hypnotherapy sessions for smoking cessation and weight loss transformed into something more profound after a serendipitous session where a client spontaneously began recalling what appeared to be past-life memories. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of Cannon's four-decade journey into what she termed "lost knowledge" and "universal wisdom."
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Cannon developed and refined her QHHT methodology, documenting thousands of cases in which subjects reportedly accessed past lives, parallel dimensions, and what she described as the "Subconscious" or "Source" of all knowledge. Her work gained significant attention with the publication of "Five Lives Remembered" (1980), followed by numerous other books including the influential "Convoluted Universe" series. While her methods and findings were met with skepticism from traditional medical and scientific communities, Cannon's work resonated with those interested in metaphysical healing and consciousness exploration.
Cannon's legacy continues to influence alternative healing and consciousness research communities worldwide. Her QHHT technique is now practiced by thousands of certified practitioners across the globe, while her seventeen books have been translated into numerous languages. Though controversial in conventional academic circles, her work has contributed to ongoing discussions about consciousness, quantum physics, and the nature of reality. Modern practitioners and researchers in the fields of consciousness studies and integrative medicine occasionally reference her work when exploring the boundaries between conventional therapy and alternative healing modalities, leaving an enduring question: Could there be more to human consciousness than our current scientific paradigms suggest?
