📖 Overview
Dolores Cannon (1931-2014) was an American hypnotherapist and author who wrote extensively about metaphysical subjects, past-life regression, and quantum healing. She developed her own hypnosis technique called Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) and authored 17 books based on information gathered during her hypnotherapy sessions.
After beginning her career in hypnotherapy in 1968, Cannon specialized in recovering what she claimed were lost knowledge and past life memories through working with subjects in a self-developed form of deep trance. Her books cover topics including extraterrestrial contact, life after death, hidden history, and the origins of human civilization.
Her most widely known works include "The Convoluted Universe" series, "Between Death and Life," and "The Three Waves of Volunteers and the New Earth." She conducted workshops internationally to teach her QHHT method to practitioners and spoke at various metaphysical conferences throughout her career.
Cannon's work, while controversial in mainstream academic circles, influenced the modern New Age movement and alternative spirituality communities. Her techniques continue to be practiced by certified QHHT practitioners worldwide through the organization she founded.
