An Interview with Dolores Cannon    top

© by Stephanie Bell

Interview with Dolores Cannon is reprinted from an article written in 2011, originally for a magazine in the United Kingdom called "Therapy Magazine." Excerpt reprinted with author's permission. Editor's comments in square brackets, and some emphasis added.

Interviewer's Foreword:
I am very fortunate to have been regressed by Dolores and it is an experience I will never forget. She took me through a very interesting lifetime and then asked to speak with my subconscious mind. My subconscious began to speak about me in the third person, so although I was aware of what was being said, it was as though I was an observer of a conversation between Dolores and my subconscious.
    For 20 years prior to my regression, I had suffered with severe reflux, or heartburn, which had resulted in a constantly inflamed esophagus and was in constant pain requiring strong drugs to ease this pain. I was told there was no cure, except perhaps a risky operation, which may or may not work.
    My subconscious scanned my body to look for energy imbalances and identified my stomach area. Dolores asked what the cause of the pain was, and my subconscious replied that it was the difficult relationship I have with my Mother. "It" said that I have never felt good enough. [Dolores] asked what [would] help, and my subconscious replied that it was cutting the energetic chords between my Mother and myself. This lasted a few minutes, during which time Dolores waited patiently. She asked whether it was done yet, and my subconscious replied that it was. She asked it to scan the rest of my body for anything else, but I am otherwise healthy and there were no other issues.
    From that day, almost a year ago now, I have not experienced any pain whatsoever in my stomach neither have I needed to take any medication. – I can say from my own experience with Dolores' healing technique that it works, and I am very grateful. [Ed's: Q&A follows. . .]

Stephanie: Dolores, you've been practicing this your Quantum Healing Technique for many years now. How did you get started?

Dolores: It seems strange to me to look back over my work in regressive hypnosis therapy and see how, not only myself, but the entire field has evolved and changed. When I was thrown (ever so gently) into the field of reincarnation in 1968 it was all new and challenging. I had opened a door in my mind that would never again be closed. There were no books or instructions in those days to guide a therapist, so I [wrote] my own rules and developed my own technique. . . I now know that was for the better: No one was there to tell me about the 'only correct method' to do hypnosis and so on. [Nor was there] anyone telling me I couldn't experiment, [etc.[. . . [Those in this field didn't] question the methods they had been shown, or [been taught that] they could change the rules, develop their own way, [or] follow their own path. [Meanwhile], I felt I had been thrust into something new and exciting. I discovered time travel (!) – going to the past to being able to relive history as it was occurring. Because [I hadn't been hampered by what 'couldn't be done', I was able to challenge the abilities of the mind directly, and find out what was possible through hypnosis.

Stephanie: How does the Quantum Healing Technique work and what makes it different to other therapies?

Dolores: The Quantum healing Technique is a method I have developed over many years and most often has instant results. I take the client into a very deep state of hypnosis and we explore past lives together. I then ask the client's subconscious to talk to me and this is where the healing begins. The "Source of all Knowledge" or the "Higher Self" is used to facilitate instant healing and closure. It can scan the body, looking for anything which needs healing and will then heal the body instantly. It can also give [a] client advice to help solve problems in their lives because this part has the answers . . .    Top

OMP's Transformation Conference, 2012

Stephanie: Have you had any memorable cases?

Dolores: I have regressed thousands of people and most of those have experienced instant healing. I have had many cases of cancer being healed where the tumors are dissolved and absorbed. Heart problems instantly corrected: valves fixed, arteries cleaned out, etc. Diabetics no longer have to take shots of insulin. [In] many cases, surgery for back, knee and hip was avoided – as [they were able to] walk fine and free from pain after a session. . . We have found that every case of illness or disease has been created by the person [themselves], and during the session, we find the reason they have done this. When [the root cause] is discovered, the ailment disappears. This can only be done through the deepest form of trance.

Stephanie: Is there anything that can't be cured using your method?

Dolores: I have found that [virtually anything] can be cured if the person is willing to release it. The only exceptions I have found are [those a] person is experiencing for karmic reasons. In those cases, [they] are only able to get some relief, but at least the person finds and understands the cause.

Stephanie: Where can people go if they wish to have a Quantum Healing Session?

Dolores: I travel around the world teaching my method to students who are then qualified to practice on clients themselves. No-one else can teach my method. If you wish to have a healing session, please visit my website www.dolorescannon.com and search under Students for a Therapist in your area.

Safety skills for children should start at an early age. . .
”When My Legs Want to Run“    top

Article reprinted with author's permission.

”I have never let my schooling interfere with my education“– Mark Twain

Have you ever intuitively known something your conscious mind wasn't aware of?
    It's like getting from A to Z without stopping at all the letters in between (de Becker, 2000). 1 It's knowing something but you don't know how it is you know it. Sometimes we listen to this knowing-ness and sometimes don't. Either way our intuition is educated no matter what the result.
    Sensing that Something Could be Harmful It is my joy to teach young children how to keep themselves safe – not only from predators, but in everyday situations. In discussing with them how we know when we are in danger, one of my kindergartners said, "When my legs want to run is how I know I am in danger." Such a simple answer from a child! who finds it easy to be in the body and paying attention. . .
    Emphasized in our talk was the funny feeling they may get in the company of an untrustworthy adult. It's okay to trust that feeling. Another day we discussed what to do if we get that feeling, with several options:

<> It's okay to yell at the adult.

<> It is okay to hit an adult if they feel they are in danger.

<> If anyone ever tries to take hold of them, it is okay to resist, pull away. . .

One little girl cried as she said, "But we don't have permission!"

Do your children know that they have your permissions to keep themselves safe (de Becker, 2000)? 1 Have you practiced scenarios with your children so that they know what to do? Do you allow your children to interact with strangers? When you do, you are educating your children's intuition. The cognitive mind and the subconscious mind are learning to recognize safe and friendly people's behavior in body language, personal space, eye contact, along with the rhythm of the conversation and the ease with which it all flows. When your children come into contact with an abnormal stranger, intuition, through the subconscious mind, alerts your children's bodies and suddenly their "legs want to run." Let's make sure they have our permission to run!

Developing Safety Skills
Children must become fluent in safety skills. Defiance is one of the most important skills for safety. The Terrible Two's phase is cause for celebration. Your child is exercising his bravery bone and . . . if s/he can resist you, s/he can resist an [threatening] stranger. Often hard to parent, these children grown up with healthy boundaries intact. If your child always obeys you and never tests your limits, your child may be unskilled in resisting a predator (de Becker, 2000) 1.
    Do your children know what to do if they get lost? If they become lost, they have to go to a stranger. Do your children know whom to pick? If you have taught your children the adage, "Never speak to a stranger" then they are unprepared to approach a stranger to ask for help. Without the proper safety skills, your child is at risk of being chosen by a predator. Your child should go to a woman for help. The statistics prove that almost all predators are men.
    Do your children know what to do if they get lost in the woods? Do they know to stay put until help arrives? Do they know how and where to build a shelter to protect them from the elements? Memorize this order and impart it to your children: Build a shelter, then a fire. Find water. Then find food. Never break that order (Brown, 1995) . 2

Yoga, a Way to Develop the Intuition
Yoga is the experience of being at one with the body. Inside of yoga, children get to experience the peace of being in the body and content with 'what is' – inside of the safe environment of home. With practice, this peace transfers to other experiences and communities in which they live. . . [By] giving them the tools to internalize and integrate what they already know [about themselves], children learn to trust themselves – and their growing intuition.
    Ask yourselves these questions and enjoy how your brain is changing with this new learning (Doidge, 2007). 3 How do you model intuition for your children? Where in your body does your intuition reside? [How does it manifest?} Is it goose bumps, a gut feeling, a smell? Keep a journal to note your own intuition and intuitive feelings. Watch the pattern of knowing that unfolds.

A Meditation for the New Age
space
© by Benjamin Creme

Excerpt reprinted with publisher's implied permission The following article is an edited version of a talk given by Benjamin Creme for a Transmission Meditation workshop at Cecil Sharp House, London, Jan. 26, 2008. Edited for clarity and/or brevity. Originally titled, "Transmission: A Meditation for the New Age." Editor's emphasis or comments in square brackets.    top

The question may have arisen in your mind as to why people meditate at all. Why meditation? What is so good, so interesting, so effective that millions of people all over the world, in vastly increasing numbers, are taking up or continuing meditation? Why do they do it?

From the point of view of those in charge of our evolutionary advancement on Earth, the reason is that meditation is the means, par excellence, of bringing the individual into contact with his or her soul. That is why we meditate. Whatever else we are looking for, whatever a particular meditation might give one, the fundamental reason for doing meditation at all is to come into contact with our soul.
    Though that first session's attendance was a bit on the light side, as the conference went on, attendance went up pretty nicely! A special treat for me was being able to corner Jeffrey Smith for a brief interview on some areas about which I hoped he would be able to comment (see below).
    . . . In the Age of Aquarius fast approaching, Transmission Meditation will be found to be a scientific path for all disciples and aspirants to discipleship, to evolve to become a perfected Master. . . . There will be a tremendous speeding up of evolution because many Masters will be living among us and Their tremendous spiritual energy will be poured out into the world.
    Whether we know it or not, that is really why we do Transmission Meditation. [It] is a perfect scientific meditation created by the Masters and given to us at this time because it is only now that there are enough aspirants to discipleship, disciples, and initiates in the world, to practice Transmission Meditation on a large scale. We do Transmission Meditation to serve the Plan of evolution. . .

The Science of Transmission Meditation
Transmission Meditation is the combination of two yogas: Karma Yoga, the Yoga of Service, and Laya Yoga, the Yoga of the Chakra energies, [two] very powerful yogas. In combination . . . they fulfil all the possible needs at this time for the requirement of meditation and service.
    Transmission Meditation is based on the science of triangles, a science known to the Masters. The Triangles movement was founded by the Masters and given to the world through Alice A. Bailey. . .
    Each of us can [channel] a certain amount of energy, but more energy can safely be placed through three people as a triangle, than through the same three people as individuals. Three, therefore, is the basic lowest number of a Transmission Meditation group. Any number higher than that makes the group more powerful. The Masters are the Custodians of the energies and They seek to distribute them in the best, most efficient way, without losing power. They have brought into being Transmission Meditation to do this. In a triangle, the Masters energetically join three people together to make the triangle, and so every ounce of energy put through the chakras of these three people is magnetised by the fact of being a triangle.
    . . . Every added person makes possible a terrific leap in the number of triangles because everybody is linked energetically to everybody else. The science is colossal and because it is in the hands of the Masters it is totally efficient, nothing is lost – if the Transmission is correctly done. . .
    [Yet], Transmission Meditation is only for people who are serious and responsible, who want to serve and who are sufficiently disinterested [from the ego's point of view], but interested in service, in doing some good for the world, so that they want to give up some time to do Transmission Meditation. A little goes a very long way because it is in the hands of the Masters. . . . The science is so effective, purposeful, pure, that you cannot help but be effective and you cannot help being changed as you do it because these energies are pumped through your chakras, i.e., the force centres up the spine. As these tremendously potent spiritual energies go through the chakras, they galvanise this activity and so you make very fast evolution.
    Again, you do not do it for that purpose, but you cannot help it. You become more and more evolved very quickly. . . It is your soul always telling you, "Do this to aid the world." And the more you do, the more evolved you become, and the more you want to do, and so on. In one year of correct, sustained Transmission Meditation, you can make the same kind of evolutionary progress as in 10, 15, maybe 20 years of ordinary meditation, just by sitting apparently doing nothing!

How to begin a Transmission Meditation
At the beginning of the meditation the group sounds aloud the Great Invocation which invokes the energies from the Masters [cont next col.]    top
purple space

The Great Invocation

From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
  Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
  May Christ return to Earth.

From the center where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men
 – The purpose which the Masters
  know and serve.

From the center which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out.
  And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.

Then all you have to do is to keep your attention at the ajna centre between the eyebrows – not in the middle of the forehead, but between the eyebrows. If you can keep your attention there, you are in the meditation from beginning to end. In the beginning your attention is sure to drop, I can promise you, probably to the solar plexus, where most people keep their attention. Hence the astral polarization of the vast majority of humanity. Your attention should be at the ajna centre. So how do you do this? Consciously place your attention between the eyebrows, at the ajna centre for as long as you can.
    If you become aware that your attention has dropped and you no longer feel the vibration at the ajna centre, think (not say) the mantram "OM." As soon as you do this, your attention will automatically return to the ajna centre.
    So we start [the meditation] by saying inwardly OM and the attention is immediately raised to the ajna centre, and when it drops we think OM again. You use the OM to hold the attention until it drops and then you think it again.

A Transmission Meditation Group
The easiest way to do Transmission Meditation is to join an already existing group. If you want to join a group but do not know where they are, you can write to us at Share International and we will inform you of the nearest group to your address. Alternatively, you can form a group; if you can get two other people to join you in doing Transmission Meditation you have the basic group of three. Every other person enlarges the scope of the group, of course. The more you have, the more triangles are created, the more powerful the group is, and the more spiritual energy can be transmitted through the group. But even three, the basic group, can have distributed through it, in this extraordinary science, more energy than you could ever do individually. . . Whatever other service you do, you could not do better than do even a little Transmission Meditation, it is so potent. Also, it does not work against any other spiritual practice, it is not exclusive. Any other meditation you do currently will be enhanced by doing Transmission Meditation. Of course, you do not do them at the same time.

”Some Restrictions May Apply“
Transmission Meditation is so potent that there are restrictions on certain people. For instance, somebody who has a heart condition is usually recommended not to do Transmission Meditation – it is too powerful and could be unhelpful to them. Also people who have a known history of mental or emotional illness are warned that Transmission Meditation might not be for them – again, because it . . . could undo the treatment they may be going through, or have had done, for the illness.
    The other restriction is in age: No child under the age of 12 should be allowed to do Transmission Meditation, or even be in the room in which it is being conducted. The chakras, the force centres, of a child under 12 are not yet sufficiently finalised, [as they are] still growing, and this could be harmful for the child. ~ Even children above 12 should be restricted in the time spent in Transmission Meditation.
    [However], if you are in reasonable health there are no restrictions. If you are pregnant and the doctor is happy with your condition and you have no bad experiences, it is perfectly possible to do Transmission Meditation up to the ninth month – but only if you are in good health.
    That is Transmission Meditation – easy to do, but there are these restrictions [that] should not be ignored. I know fanatics who do it six or seven times a week. I suggest something more balanced, like ideally about three times a week or at least twice a week. Once a week is acceptable, but twice is better, and three times is better still. . . . In the beginning, though, people should not overdo it, i.e., going for 10 hours at a stretch. [Gradually], increase the time spent in Transmission Meditation, starting with an hour and work up by a quarter of an hour or so, to two to three hours. .

Summary. Transmission Meditation is designed by the Masters and given to humanity for a given purpose, and it should be [practiced in the way described above]. If you do it, you should do it the way the Masters have designed it – [but] there are always some people who think they know better than the Masters and see instructions as an infringement of their free will. Since this practice is a gift, if you are not going to do it the right way, the best thing is not to do it at all, otherwise you could make a mess of your chakras, and make yourself ill.
    During Transmission Meditation do not despair if your attention keeps dropping from the ajna centre. It is like learning to ride a bicycle, you fall off, and fall off, and suddenly you are on your way, you can do it. You practise and you can learn to hold your attention. Transmission Meditation takes a long time to talk about, in its full sense, but time passes quickly when you are actually doing it. You come to the end, and you say, "Have we been sitting here all that time?"

Help Along the Way (May/Jun 2012)
Spiritual Melancholy    top
© by Janis Yakopovic

Article excerpt reprinted with author's permission. Editor's comments, etc, in square brackets.


Dear Readers,
    In the Mar/Apr 2012 issue of Pathfinder ,I wrote about the "newbies" who were just beginning to open up to the New Golden Light, and the future that 2012 brings. For this issue, I want to address those of us who have walked this Path for 30 to 40 years, or more, and the obstacles that we are encountering in this time.
    Many of us who have been on a Spiritual Path for most of our lives have experienced much different outcomes than we expected. This in itself is upsetting to many who thought that by this time that our lives would be different, or we did not expect more testing or obstacles to refine our frequencies that we worked so hard to obtain. I think we all expected to come together in a circle of light, holding hands in Peace and Harmony, and watching the circle expand as more and more people on Earth became AWARE and therefore expanded the circle of the New Age that we were in. What we have found, however, is much different.

1. Spiritual Melancholy I personally know of NO ONE who has not experienced this symptom. It is a feeling of contracting into an inward journey rather than expanding outward to embrace more of the New Age that we expected. The spiritual growth never stopped, but it feels like your Soul is going 2000 mph, and your body is only going 35 mph. This has brought unexpected insights and answers to questions that we have had, but some of them are different than what we expected. Some of these answers have made us question previous beliefs that we have held for many years, and made us realize that the "path" that the New Age/Future had mapped out for us was/is quite different that we expected. We were not wrong . . . there was just [more of the] frequency [bandwidth] we could not see. These unexpectded feelings have led many a great Teacher and Healer to seek refuge inside, living . . . like hermits . . . seeking silence and refuge. For those that are going through this now, it will pass, eventually, and as a butterfly emerges from a cocoon, so will you too. But cocooning in a metamorphosis of Spirit is a part of this change, and some people find it so removed from their everyday lives that sadness or depression can sneak . . . into the emotional body. It is a deep questioning that [many] did not expect.    top

Janis Yakopovic, vibrational healer

2. A Shift in Goals Many people walking a path for 30-40 years expected to be on the same path they were on when they started out – [only] bigger and brighter and filled with Light.
    What some are finding now is that [an] old path is ending, and a new one is taking its place. . . . We stare puzzling and uncomprehending down this new road, saying to ourselves "where did I go wrong," and "you want me to turn right now?" . . . Know, though, that in this time our "paths" are being chosen by the frequencies that we have developed – their depth and Light, unlike anything that we have experienced before.
    So instead of feeling like we are already home, in a safe place when we have walked . . . all our lives, we find we are entering a world where sometimes nothing is really known to us. So we question ourselves, falling into Spiritual Melancholy, before we realize this new path is a Gift. We start our new journey. . . take that first step, and we are amazed at what we can see and understand now than we could before. It is a revelation to many of us, which we did not expect.

3. Go with the Flow We have not walked on [our] path this long to take a wrong turn. [Rather], our questions stem from a lack of UNDERSTANDING, not a lack of dedication to Spirit. So take that first step joyfully and know that this is where God brings the Flow to you. It is a journey that is bigger, better and brighter that what we expected. It is deeper inwardly and more expansive multi-dimensionally. We are exactly where we should be!

4. [TRY To] Be Happy At All Times Let this be your goal and mantra through this journey into the unknown. Happiness is the key to the next door. When in doubt or fear ask yourself, "What would make ME happy now"? Then do it! For it is the benefit of our journey, and it is JOY, NOT PAIN, that will take us [there]. <>
