Megan Kearney (00:01):
Hello, and welcome to the route to rise
seeds for spiritual awakeningpodcast. Today, as our guests,
we have Joanna Rue. Joanna is aQHHT practitioner with a
background in fields, such asnursing, counseling, psychology,
teaching and facilitation, andvarious energy healing and
(00:21):
intuitive practices. As a QHHTpractitioner, Joanna provides
people with a sense of safetyand comfort so that they can
access their higher selves andbecome their own healers.
Welcome, Joanna.
Joanna Roux (00:34):
Thanks, Meg.
Megan Kearney (00:35):
So happy to have you here.
Joanna Roux (00:38):
I'm so happy to be here.
Megan Kearney (00:41):
Great. So to get started, can you introduce us to
what QHHT is and explain how itworks?
Joanna Roux (00:50):
Sure. So QHHT was developed by Dolores Cannon
beginning in, like, the 19sixties when no one else knew
about. When people were doinghypnosis for things like smoking
cessation and weight loss and,she she was working with her
husband and suddenly a past lifecame through in one of their
sessions. He didn't wantanything to do with it and she
(01:10):
she took it and ran with it. Andthen she spent 40 years
developing her technique down towhere back at back in those
days, it would take over an hourfor people to induce someone
into a hypnotic state and shedeveloped the form that induces
somebody in a few minutes.
So it very much evolved as shewent through it. And now, it's
(01:33):
used very much for issues inpeople's lives. It's used for
physical, mental, emotional,spiritual kinds of things. And
it's a form of hypnosis thatworks with the natural states of
consciousness that we move intoand out of throughout the day.
So, it's meant for personaldevelopment so that you can work
with those blockages, and thepractitioner in a QHHT session
(01:56):
is a facilitator, is guiding theprocess to help the person feel
safe and comfortable, to work tounderstand the questions that
they bring to the session, andhelping the person to connect
with the higher part ofthemselves and that's referred
to either as the higher self,the soul, the subconscious,
whatever the person wants tocall it, but the part of you
(02:17):
that has the bigger picture,knows everything that's ever
gone on in your life and livesand can answer some of the
questions that you bring aboutthe roots of what's happening in
your life, how to adjust that,that sort of thing.
So, it's a pretty deep kind ofthing or and can get deeper and
(02:39):
deeper.
Megan Kearney (02:41):
Definitely. Yeah. And, you know, I had just heard
about QHHT probably 2 monthsago, which is how I met you. And
we had that, you know,serendipitous meeting. So what
first inspired you to become aQHHT practitioner?
How did you find it and how howhas it helped you on your
(03:03):
spiritual path?
Joanna Roux (03:04):
Well, so the spiritual path has been a long
and winding and kinda crazytrip. From the long picture,
years years years ago, when noone ever talked about this kind
of thing, I watched someone do apast life regression on late,
late night TV and I wasfascinated by it. It stuck in my
mind but it didn't really takeit anywhere. But in the past
(03:25):
couple of years, I have watchedsomeone named Alba Weinman, who
does hypnosis sessions onYouTube. And I, again, was
absolutely caught up in that andamazed by it.
And then how I got to start tostudy it was that I listened to
a podcast called Next Level Souland on that was a woman, Suzanne
(03:48):
Spooner, who is one of the topQHHT practitioners and studied
with Dolores Cannon. And shetalked more about it, she talked
about what she did, she has abunch of sessions on YouTube to
watch that are really amazing.And so I looked at Elba
Weinman's description under herYouTube things and she had
(04:08):
studied QHHT but she doesn'tpractice it now, although there
are parts of it that show up init. She studied a bunch of
different things and developedher own technique. Suzanne
Spooner had the full on QHHT,you know, experience and a way
to get, you know, to contactthe, to get to their website and
(04:29):
to learn about what they had tooffer for classes and so I
jumped on that and the rest ishistory.
So it's been, it's just beenamazing. So that's how it
started, spiritual evolution,like I said, that's been a long
strange trip. So that'ssomething I've been interested
in for a long time. My motherused to give me she'd read them
and then we'd share reading, youknow, we'd pass books back and
(04:52):
forth when I was an earlyteenager. I was fascinated by
all this stuff but kind ofscared of it.
And then, but at the same time,I also did things like I spent
my last $45 just as I was aboutto go to college. I was away by
parents' way. At that point, myfamily had been down in Florida
for a little while. So I spentthe last money that I had to
learn how to do TranscendentalMeditation. So that happened a
(05:14):
long, long time ago.
And I've also had all theseother bizarre, otherworldly
things happen over the course ofmy life. Some wonderful, some,
some that I prompted, some thatweren't prompted like out of
body experiences. I learned howto do that consciously at one
point. And in the mid ninetieswhen this was all flourishing,
like there were new agebookstores everywhere, learned
(05:35):
how to read tarot cards andtaught classes in it and that
kind of thing. And I take, Ilove to learn new things so I'm
taking classes still all thetime.
Mediumship channeling, differentkinds of energy healing
techniques, reading books. Ibelong to a spiritualist church
for about a year and a half andthey had a lot of classes, so
you name it, I'll throw it. If Ithink it's gonna get me
(05:56):
somewhere spiritually going tohelp me and and if it kinda
calls to me. So then, also inthe early thousands I lost
several family members includingmy daughter. So that moved
things in a sort of a differentkind of direction and also kind
of amped them up.
But it's still going on. I'mgoing to Peru relatively soon to
do some hypnosis training andalso to visit sacred sites in
(06:19):
Machu Picchu and things likethat. Wow. So yeah. So it keeps
on go keeps on it's the giftthat keeps on giving.
Megan Kearney (06:26):
That's amazing. And it sounds like you kind of
always had the spiritualconnection, these spiritual
practices that you were doing.You mentioned the tarot, you
mentioned the books, the peoplethat you were listening to, but
you also have a background inthe healthcare industry and
mental health counseling aswell. So how would you say that
(06:48):
has played into yourunderstanding of QHHT and maybe
your understanding of the mind,body, spirit connection?
Joanna Roux (06:57):
Well, right now, being where I am with the QHHT,
that and and again, the healthcare piece is only part of my
work history and I stopped beinga nurse a long time ago. But all
the things, the different weirdthings that I've followed and
been interested in and learnedhave helped me and I can see
where they got me to where I amwith QHHT. So for example,
(07:21):
having been a nurse, I'm verycomfortable with, you know, one
to one situations and peoplethat are in distress or ill
health. And I know anatomy andphysiology really well, so
that's if you have thatvocabulary, then spirit can work
with you, you know, your higherself and the client's higher
self can work with you so thatyou understand. They know you
(07:42):
understand the terms and you canuse the right terms and you can,
you know, that helps.
Also, I did at a differentpoint, I did counseling
psychology as well. I studied atgraduate level. And I, at one
point, I did bereavementcounseling with a visiting nurse
association. And, so I have noproblem talking to people about
anything, talking with them andlistening about anything that
(08:05):
happened. So it's kind of like,if you can be there when they're
grieving or about to grieve astheir loved one is dying, you
can pretty much talk aboutanything.
So that doesn't I feel forpeople that are going through
those kinds of and I've beenthrough things myself in my
life, so I feel for people thatare going through those kinds of
things. So I have anappreciation of what can help,
(08:27):
what might help, what mightharm, you know, that sort of
thing. So, as far as the healthcare system, I became
disenchanted with that a longtime ago, the traditional
medical system. And, then Ileft, I mean, I left that as a
nurse, but then I came backquite a few years later and
worked as a trainer and aconsultant in a hospital system
(08:49):
and saw behind the scenes whatwas going on at the top levels
and all that stuff and I becameeven more disenchanted.
Enchanted.
And then especially when myfamily members were ill, several
went through, you know, chemoand surgeries and radiation and
all those kinds of things andI'm the nurse in the family so I
was around to watch that happen.It was even worse. That was one
piece of it so and I think thathelped prod me to get into some
(09:13):
other kinds of things. So backeven in the nineties, again,
where new age things were all onevery corner, I took a bunch of
different classes. 1 was BarbaraBrennan's healing, energy
healing stuff was popular at thetime.
I went to New Mexico and learnedabout that. I learned something
called clarity therapy that wasa year long program that was
kind of like Reiki or a littlebit like Reiki but it was light
(09:34):
touch involved, you know, andthat was really interesting. I
went to a wellness expo and Iwas just trying different stuff.
I had some loose money to spend.I just wanted to try different
things.
And in the middle of anexposition center in Boston, I
laid down on I have a hard timesleeping in my own quiet house.
(09:55):
I went out cold during thissession that as they were doing
the healing, demo on me in thistrade center with thousands of
people milling around. If Icould do that, I thought there's
something to this thing andthat's why I studied it. So, you
know, that was part of it. Ialso read this book way back
when called Vibrational Healingand it was written by an MD who
(10:18):
talked about some of thedifferent things like
acupuncture and all those thingsthat had been around for a long
time but used medical tools totest and see what was happening
like they put on acupunctureneedles, they put things that
measured the current that wascoming from the acupuncture
points and stuff like that.
So, it was very convincing to methat book. But then other
things, you know, differentkinds of healing, not just
(10:39):
physical healing, the mediumshipand channeling kinds of things
that I've studied. I've seenamazing healing experiences for
me, about my family members, andalso for the people that I when
I was the medium or I was thesitter. So I was the medium,
I've seen what's happened toother people that I read for. I
mean, an example of that was mybrother and I didn't get along
(11:00):
very well when we were when hewas alive.
And in at this one point in justin a class and a little exercise
we were doing, this woman whodidn't even seem like she
particularly wanted to be therepicked up on him and said some
things that were just the way hewould say it. And also, she
said, at one point said, comeon, Joe. Nobody outside of my
(11:23):
family or the people I grew upwith calls me Joe ever. And this
woman didn't know me from a holein the wall. So it sounded like
him.
It hit on things that were partof our experience and it was
very healing. So that kind ofstuff. And then I used to go to
acupuncture, you know, and sawthat. That was the only thing
that helped me when I worked ina really toxic environment, I
(11:44):
was stressed out all the time.So when my daughter was going
through cancer treatment and hadchemo and radiation and
surgeries and all that kind ofstuff, one of the things she
said to me, she and I would goto acupuncture together and she
said the acupuncturist was theonly person in that whole realm
of people that were caring forher, quote unquote, that made
her feel cared for, theacupuncturist.
(12:05):
So, and you know, we are spiritand everything is energy and our
body is electromagnetic That'swhy MRIs and CAT Scans and those
kinds of things work. So, once Ithought about that and also the
the things that have been aroundfor years that our minds, our
behaviors, our thought patterns,they all influence whether
energy gets blocked or flowsfreely and and the repetitive
(12:28):
behaviors that cause theblockages eventually create
disease. That thought's beenaround for a long, long time and
been pretty well, you know,accepted kind of into the day to
day existence of people theseday. You know, people don't
think it's an oddball ideaanymore as much. So I've seen
what can happen with that.
And then of course my, you know,then having my own QHHT sessions
(12:51):
from other practitioners andthen offering what I see as a
facilitator is just phenomenaland astounding every single
time.
Megan Kearney (13:00):
That's awesome. It it sounds like you along with
your scientific background andknowledge, you've also had sort
of reaffirming things happen toyou, like you mentioned, the
medium speaking to you as yourbrother. I think that's really
important, and not everybody hasthat or is open to receiving
(13:23):
sort of those experiences. Sofor someone who might be
unfamiliar with QHHT, maybe alittle skeptical, what would you
say for them to prepare for asession? What can they expect in
a session, and how can they kindof open their minds to maybe
letting their higher selfconnect with them?
Joanna Roux (13:43):
Yeah. A lot a lot of the higher self piece
connecting, you know, people aresometimes afraid because they
don't know what that is ormeans, But it's really just you.
You know, it's not some, I don'tknow, ghost or something. You
know, I don't know what peoplethink it is. It's not something
that's trying to control you.
It's guiding you from a kind ofa higher perspective of your
(14:04):
life and it's, it's got yourbest interests in mind, you
know. So that's one thing. Butagain, so people who need a lot
of control, and that's usuallybased in fear of something. One
of the ways things can happen inQHHC so that's easier to work
with is, it starts in the verybeginning. It starts even before
a session.
(14:25):
So, a lot of times, I like totalk to people who wanna have a
session ahead of time, so theycan ask any questions they want,
so they can have a chance tohear, you know, what I have to
say about it. They can get toknow me a little bit or at
least, like, kinda feel a vibefrom me to see whether they
really wanna do it or not. Andand I try to help them
understand the things that theymight be afraid of why that may,
(14:47):
you know, that most likely won'thappen in the session. So the
QHHT is really an individualsession. You're in a deeper
trance state and from that stateyou can, in a particular
session, you can go through atime where we talk about the
(15:07):
person's life and hear from youwhat's your life story, who are
the people in it, what are thepatterns you've seen?
What are the repeating themesthat have come up in your life?
We're finding out what you wantto get out of the session. What
are the questions that you camewith? So that I understand what
they are when when we get to thepoint where the person's in
trance and I can kinda make surethat those questions get
(15:29):
addressed, hopefully. It's it'sa natural state that you're in.
The trance state that you gointo isn't anything super weird
because we're into it twice aday at least. So, in the trance
state, it's the state thatyou're in when you first wake up
in the morning and when you'refalling asleep at night. That in
between state where you're notquite awake and you're not quite
(15:52):
asleep. That's all it is. Andwhen you're in that state, when
you're in hypnosis and you cantell me what it was like for you
too as well for your session.
But for me, when I have QHHTsessions, I feel relaxed, kind
of like a guided meditation. Ifyou've ever experienced a guided
meditation, to me, I thoughtthat was very similar to what
that was like. You're relaxedbut a little detached. You know,
(16:15):
you're aware. People used to, inthe early days of QHHT, they'd
be they'd go out cold.
And when when practitioners haveasked the higher selves about
that or their clients, they sayit's because back in those days
no one knew what past lives wereand no one knew what this kind
of thing was and they wouldn'thave believed the results unless
they went deeper and theylistened to the recording that's
(16:37):
made in the sessions, played itback and heard this stuff coming
out of their own mouths, youknow? So I think that helped
people understand and feelbetter about it. And I've
mentioned past lives a couple oftimes and that's part of it's
not necessarily past lives thesedays, that's part of the
experience that you look at. Youdon't have to experience pain or
(16:58):
anything like that, you can sitand kind of report on it, you
can see it and report on it, youcan there are suggestions within
being in the trance that you cansay, you can just watch this
like a movie, just tell mewhat's happening kind of thing.
And using those past lives andagain, it sometimes it turns out
to be memories from this life orit turns out to be other
experiences, which sometimespeople go between lives,
(17:18):
sometimes they go off planetshall we say.
You know, there are all kinds ofunusual things but it's most
often a past life or, in myexperience or a memory from
earlier in this life that hassome bearing on why you're here
and what's going on in your liferight now. A lot of times it
seems to me most often thechildhood things are positive
(17:40):
memories, you know? But evendifficult, I mean, we had people
with very difficult situationsin their lives and still they've
gone through it, feeling, youknow, feeling fine about they're
not disturbed. And there's a lotwithin the whole session with
the while the person's intrance, to make sure that they
walk away from that. Puttingthat experience where it
(18:02):
belongs, you know, and nothaving it bother them after
they've finished with thesession.
So you're just working with thatclient once they get deep enough
and relaxed enough to youconnect then with their higher
self. And to me, that's that'sthem just bringing through or
channeling, if you wanna call itthat, what the part of them that
(18:22):
knows better. You know how theytalk about when people are under
anesthesia, they don't rememberwhat I mean they they're aware
of what's said but they don'tnecessarily remember it. It's
all of those things, everythingthat's ever happened to you or
been sat around you or you'vethought or whatever it all sort
of can be accessed. So, peopleare becoming more aware of that
right now.
And the recording, I think, isimportant too because that I
(18:45):
think that helps people feel Ithink a lot of times people are
concerned that someone else isgoing to control them, But
that's not the case at all. It'sjust, like, in my role, it's
just as a facilitator to ask theright questions, to help guide
through this process that getsthem to that deep state, and to
kind of with the higher self, alot of times it's just a lot of
(19:06):
times they'll answer in veryshort closed ended way, you
know, she knows this, you know,and then it's up to me to kind
of prompt and say, okay. Howwould you explain this a little
bit better? She'll know. Can youtell me a little bit about what
she has to look what she shouldbe looking for?
That kind of thing. Anythingelse about, you know, explaining
(19:27):
to to the someone who is alittle concerned that you wanna
know about?
Megan Kearney (19:33):
No. I I think that definitely makes sense, and
I can kind of echo what you'resaying about how it's very
meditative, very much guided.When I listen back to my own
recording, there's nosuggestions that you're putting
into my subconscious. It's justmore of a guided imagery
meditation, like you're saying.And in my experience, I did have
(19:57):
a childhood memory that wasalmost rewritten to be positive
so that I could have a positiverelation to a certain time in my
childhood.
So that was very profound. Ithink, you know, I am somebody
who also struggles a little bit,to let go of control, to really
drop in. So that's why yousuggested to do the past life
(20:22):
regression group session beforewe did our 1 on 1. So would you
mind talking a little bit abouthow the group session differs
from an individual session andhow that might help somebody
sort of ease into their 1 on 1session?
Joanna Roux (20:38):
Sure. So the group session is these are great and
it really does make adifference. A lot of the
practitioners have found thatI've seen on the forum that QHHT
has that they say anyone who'sgone to a group regression
session has a much easier timein an individual session, you
know, is able to go more deeply,is able to relax more, that kind
of thing. So in the groupsession, it's a lighter state of
(20:59):
trance because you're not inthis intensive one on one
situation with another person.You're there with as many people
as you can fit in the room as Itold you.
You know, we had the one thatyou went to and you go through a
series of exercises. One's aboutvisualization. Actually, there
are a couple aboutvisualization. There's one about
a past life. And then there aresome other variations of that
(21:20):
you can do if there's time.
It's not exactly the same as,QHHT because in QHHT, among
other things, you're having aconstant back and forth. You're
having a conversation the entiretime, even while you're in
trance. So to tell me whatyou're seeing, to tell me what's
going on. In the groupregression, what we do is you
you have the exercise, you havethe experience, you're guided
(21:43):
through that, and then when thatpart of the exercise is done, we
take out a notebook and jot downwhat you went through before
anybody starts speaking.Everybody just jots down their
experiences.
Then we share with the group,whoever wants to share, it's not
mandatory, but, what happened.And I think the great thing
about that is people get to say,oh, I'm not the only one that
(22:04):
thought I was making it up.
Megan Kearney (22:07):
Everybody in our group, progression, thought they
were making it up.
Joanna Roux (22:11):
Yep. And then you realize that that's, you know,
the part of your mind thatyou're using with this is the
part of your mind that'simaginative. It is your
imagination, kind of, but that'sthat doesn't mean that you're
it's not valid. You're pullingthrough things that have a
reason. And I think with yours,didn't you have the same person,
like, the same you went into thesame past life as you did in the
(22:34):
group session in your individualsession, but it took a different
turn toward the end.
You know, it wasn't exactly whatit seemed like.
Megan Kearney (22:43):
That's right. Yeah. It was sort of a snippet
in the group session. And thenin my individual session, I was
able to go more deeply into itand kind of see it through, see
through the threads to see whatthe message was for my current
self. And I had a thought it'sescaping me, but, but I
(23:04):
definitely think the group, thegroup session was worth it.
It was helpful to kind of knowwhat to expect and have that
practice of going in anddropping into that hypnotic
state. And it was fun too tohave Yeah. To hear other
people's, you know, past livesand kinda see what they were
experiencing as well. So it wasvery interesting.
Joanna Roux (23:25):
That's one of the things I like about it because
it's it is fun, and it's you cansee that it's not scary.
Megan Kearney (23:30):
Mhmm.
Joanna Roux (23:31):
So that's that's the biggest thing. Like I said,
it's a lighter state state oftrance. I did one very small
group session with my sister andher daughter and what my sister
liked about it was that I wasn'twe weren't talking back and
forth all the time because shecould really sink into the the
experience. So that was that'sanother thing. That's more like
the guided meditation.
Megan Kearney (23:53):
Yes. Definitely. And I did like in the group
session how we would sort of gothrough a prompt, and then
everybody had their journal tokind of write down what they had
seen. And like you said, it wasjust very low pressure. It was a
little more difficult to getinto your head with that one of
thinking you're making it up,because you're just writing it
down.
You don't have to share it, likeyou said. And I did wanna
(24:17):
mention one thing you said abouthow people think that they're
making it up because it'simagination and that's the part
of the mind you're using, butthere's also a school of thought
that, that believes that ourconnection to our higher self to
spirit, to source, whatever youwanna call it, is our
creativity. And when we're inthat creative flow is when we're
(24:38):
actually connected with oursource. So
Joanna Roux (24:40):
Right. That's when you can be more open. That's the
thing. It's kind of has elementsof the same energy, basically.
It's all we're all energy.
It's all energy. And yet, that'swhen you're able to open up to
that. And I think that's wheresometimes people get concerned,
you know, and that's what kindof gets in the way a little bit
of them being able to open up.That's why a lot of what goes on
(25:04):
in a session is built into thesession. The time we spend
talking ahead of time, the thetype of the way I would use my
voice, the, the environmentthat, you know, like the little
room that I have that I do itin, that kind of thing, to try
to help make sure people feelsafe and relaxed.
And the other thing that thatstrikes me because this is this
(25:24):
is what happened when I have,had acupuncture early on. I
think there's a thing aboutdoing something for the first
time where you're hyper alert.Not and I like the first time I
had acupuncture, I really wantedit. I wasn't scared at all. I
really wanted to do it.
But what I I could find my mindI'm someone who has a hard time
shutting my mind off too. What Iand it was in my house, on my
(25:47):
massage table with someone Iknow and love. It I found myself
going, what's gonna happen next?You know, like, I'm doing that
the whole time. And then thesecond time this person did it
did a session for me, I went outbefore he finished putting the
needles in.
You know, because I knew what itwas like. So that's what I feel
the benefit too of a groupsession is, is that you get a
chance to taste the pieces of itand there are a lot of pieces in
(26:10):
that group session that aremimicked or or used outright in
a QHHT session. But thedifference is that one is a deep
state where you're interactingback and forth with the
facilitator and the client, andthat you're it's 1 on 1. And
also, there's the whole higherself part that you go into more
(26:30):
much much more depth with. Andthe group sessions are also
shorter, even though I think wewent on for about 3 hours maybe,
you know, but it seems like itwent by fast.
Megan Kearney (26:40):
It didn't feel long, but it I think it was it
ended up being 3 hours. So likelike you said, it's fun to do it
with your friends. It's a goodexperience, and and it did set
set me up. And my other friendwho did a session with you, it
set her up as well to kind ofdrop in more deeply. So on the
topic of the QHHT individualsessions, you mentioned before
(27:01):
that, people come withquestions, and they're kind of
looking for certain things.
Would you say there's a commontheme of reasons people seek out
QHHT? What kind of things arethey usually hoping to address,
and have you witnessed anyprofound transformations from
the questions that people bring?
Joanna Roux (27:23):
So, yeah, that's a big those are long questions.
Megan Kearney (27:26):
Yes.
Joanna Roux (27:26):
Multiple complex questions. So the reasons people
seek out QHHC are all the humanthings. You know, at first, you
know, physical issues, diseases,chronic pain, things like that
that they've been working with,results after effects of, you
know, botched surgeries or wearand tear from age or all kinds
(27:46):
of things like that. Longstanding emotional situations
like grief or shame or guilt ordepression, and patterns they'd
like to break. You know, why doI always do this?
Why can't I stop judging people?You know, that kind of thing.
Relationship questions. How canI help support my child the best
way possible? Or why do I alwaysfeel like, you know, this person
(28:08):
and I hit it off right away whenwe knew each other.
We felt like we'd known eachother forever. That sort of past
life kind of prompt. Andspiritual development. So,
what's my purpose in life? Howcan I connect more solidly with
my higher self?
You know, those kinds of things.Broad spectrum, but everybody is
(28:29):
different. Every session isdifferent. There's a process
underlying it, you know,underlying what I'm doing. There
are certain steps, ways to makethis happen.
But I don't think I've ever hadany session that went exactly
the way it was supposed to.Because things come up, things
take different turns, peoplecome into a different place in
(28:52):
their past life than it wasexpected, you know, they come in
between lives or something likethat and you work with that.
But, you know, you individualizeit, everyone's unique, you
individualize it, help them feelsafe and comfortable like I
mentioned, you listen carefullyto what they have to tell you
about themselves and whatthey're trying to achieve. It
really helps to be very curiousabout what's happening to them
(29:14):
as the session goes along.Asking a lot of open ended
questions to have them offermore.
Give you essay type answersinstead of yes or no. And also
having to kind of be fast onyour feet with figuring out
where to take things whensomething happens that you
didn't expect, which is severaltimes in every session. So, you
know, it's being able to justkind of go with what's happening
(29:36):
in the session.
Megan Kearney (29:37):
Awesome.
Joanna Roux (29:37):
Does that feel like it answers your question?
Megan Kearney (29:39):
Definitely. Yeah. It does.
Joanna Roux (29:41):
Oh, you mentioned the the transfer may or the
amazing things that happen.
Megan Kearney (29:45):
Yeah. Either for you or clients you've worked
with. What what have you seenand what what kinda stands out
to you?
Joanna Roux (29:52):
Yeah. Well, there are, there's several different
instances of people havingphysical pain that they've had
for years, and when they sit upfrom the session, they say it's
gone and it stays gone. Youknow, one person, I think I did
a session for in March, sat upand said, oh, I've had this back
lower back pain. And I it was onher list, but somehow we didn't
(30:14):
really talk about it. And andshe said, that's weird.
I've had back lower back painfor a long time, and now it's
gone. And I've checked in withher frequently since this was 9
months ago. Wow. And part ofwhat people can help with with
that is sometimes if you've hadexperienced something like that
for a long time, you think andand this client had a way of
(30:36):
approaching it that I thoughtwas really good. She said, when
she first set up, she said, Istill kind of feel the echo of
it, as if it's going to happen.
And And then we talked aboutthat and I kept checking in on
her and she said, I finally havetold myself, oh, I used to have
that but I don't have itanymore. And so any time that
she felt that, what she calledan echo, that's what she said to
(30:59):
herself to help it continue togo on that way. I've also been
kind of astounded when there areissues that come up on the body
scan that the client didn'tbring up, but they might have
known existed. And they go, oh,yeah. I've had that for, you
know, this long time, and itgets fixed.
Or when they can feel what'shappening. They can feel what's
being done, like someone thathad an issue with one of her
(31:20):
legs and the higher self saidit's out of alignment. And they
aligned it during the session,and then she said I can feel
them doing that. And then toldme, I don't know, a couple of
weeks later, it's great. My legis fine.
Wow. You know? And it had beenan issue for a long time. And
(31:41):
then, some of the kind of jawdropping ones have to do with
the, what I think of as ecstaticexperiences that people have
either in the between life statebecause we didn't talk about
that, but every life, every pastlife that you work with or, and
that's not saying it the rightway, but when you go into the
(32:01):
past life part, you take theperson through, as you know,
through the last day of theirlife and into the other side,
after the life. And that's wherea lot of the amazing stuff
happens because I've had peoplewho, when they get on the other
side, they said, Oh, it's sothey always say, I always say,
What is, what is, you know, theguides that have been with you
in your life, what do they sayto you?
(32:21):
And they always say, Welcomeback. And they and so they'd
say, It feels so welcoming. It'sjust love, and it's so
forgiving, and it's not aboutpunishment, and you're just
having these experiences in lifeto learn from. And one person
said, I'm not afraid of deathanymore. Because of that, that
one little sort of like maybe 5minute piece of the session,
(32:46):
among other things, but that washuge, I think.
And then, I've had a client whoembodied what was in this past
life scenario, and it was hardfor me to tell whether the
person the way it came acrosswas as if the person in that
past life died and was in spiritnow, but they weren't. An angel
(33:08):
came along and let this personembody the angel's body and feel
what it felt like to be anangel. And that was just
astounding, you know, havingthat to arc back to if you're
feeling down or things weren'tgoing your way or something. You
(33:28):
get to feel that.
Megan Kearney (33:29):
That's so true. And there's definitely a lot of
spiritual teachings about howbeing able to connect with a
feeling of your manifestation orsomething that, that you want in
your life is so important. Andif you haven't had that feeling,
you won't be able to connectwith it. So you mentioned the
woman who could feel her legaligning, you know, having that
(33:54):
feeling of alignment toreference back to, or having
that feeling of coming home toyour soul at the end of a life
and being welcomed and loved.Like you said, just being able
to reference that in your dailylife can help you sort of walk
through life in a more peaceful,joyful way.
And I really liked what youshared as well about the woman
(34:16):
who had the back pain and howshe mentioned it was an echo.
And then she just decided totell herself, I used to have
that, but I don't anymore.
Joanna Roux (34:26):
Right.
Megan Kearney (34:26):
And it's sort of like, we get so used to being in
a certain state. And then whenwe're not in that state anymore,
we almost don't know what to do.But I think the mindset shift
that she had was a superprofound and important for
sustaining that healing, likeyou said.
Joanna Roux (34:44):
Yeah. And another one, this last example was
pretty striking to me. And,person has had asthma for 30
years, over 30 years, and hasbeen on inhalers, steroid
inhalers, and that kind ofthing. And when the higher self
did a body scan, they said, itwas sensing that this I'm always
(35:06):
asking what's the origin ofthat, and we were sensing this
was from a drowning. And as wefollow that back, we very often
follow it back to the where thatfirst began.
When was the first person thisfirst time this person
experienced this? And she couldsee herself and feel herself
underwater. Although again, itdidn't disturb her. She could
watch it as a movie basically,but she could give me the
(35:27):
details. And she had her handsbound behind her and she was
underwater.
Someone had drowned her. And sothen her Higher Self healed that
back in that life. She saw it aslike a capsule of darkness, is
the way she was telling me aboutit, her Higher Self was telling
me about it, and sent it lightand it changed from dark to
(35:50):
light and it came all the way upthis kind of thread they usually
call it back to her body and itcame up her side and up across
her lungs. And she said, I feltlike that's the first time I've
taken a deep breath, full, youknow, kind of clean breath in
ages. And, you know, and thenthe higher self had advice about
(36:14):
the inhalers and about naturalthings that could be done to
help not need to rely on them asmuch.
That was in, I believe it was inSeptember, so that's 3 months
ago. I think she's only used herinhalers maybe a few times 2 or
3 times because of somethingprovoked, like she was at a an
(36:35):
outdoor barbecue or somethingand the smoke got to her. So
that she needed it a couple ofdays after that. But in those 3
months, she's hardly used thoseat all and she's been using
these other natural teas and youknow, inhaled steam and things
like that. And it has and shehas something that she can check
her pulse her pulse ox pulseoximeter.
(36:55):
She can check her oxygen everymorning. And it's been better
than it was when even she was onthe medication. That
Megan Kearney (37:03):
is that's so amazing. I mean and and you had
mentioned before that thishigher self, it's not outside of
us. It's not this entity. You'renot suggesting anything to
people who are going throughQHHT. It's all within them.
The healing that they'reaccessing, that they're
providing for themselves, it'sall within.
Joanna Roux (37:25):
That's what I like most about it. Because, you
know, like, I read tarot cardsat at one point or I've done
other kinds of energy healingand it's like people are coming
to you for this and they thinkthat somehow you've got the
power to heal them. But it'snot, it's them. Even with some
of the energy healing things, Istill wasn't doing it, but
you're putting your hands onthem and stuff, so they think
(37:47):
you're creating this. But withthis, it's not only very clear
that they're doing thisthemselves, that it's coming
from their Higher Self, but theycan hear it on the recording.
It's in their voice. You know?And that has its own frequency
that can help with the healing.
Megan Kearney (38:05):
Exactly.
Joanna Roux (38:05):
Very cool.
Megan Kearney (38:07):
And and it's continuous. You know? My higher
self recommended for me tolisten to my recording once a
week and maybe someone else'swanted them to listen to it more
or less, but, you know, everytime you listen back to it, you
hear something different and itcan unlock something inside to
kind of continue to fillfacilitate that healing. So
(38:29):
very, very interesting. And Iwant to ask you about your own
experience with QHHT as aparticipant, as somebody who
who's
Joanna Roux (38:42):
A client.
Megan Kearney (38:43):
Yeah. Yes. As a client. Yes. So can you tell me
a little bit about how yourexperience with QHHT has maybe
strengthened your connectionwith your higher self and kind
of helped you along your journeyas well.
Joanna Roux (38:59):
Mhmm. You know, in recent years, because of a lot
of the things that I've done, Ifeel like I have a pretty strong
connection with my higher self,but it's not like it's sitting
there going, hey, do this, doyou know, like, once in a while,
I can tell when it's not oroften enough I can tell when
it's not me and I have a lot ofways to kind of get around that.
But, what I came away from withthe 2 experience because
(39:21):
practitioners share sessionswith one another. That's the
other thing we didn't say isthat QHHT session ordinarily is
meant to be 1 and done unlesssomething happens like as if
something in your life happensthat's significant that you
might need to revisit. It'ssomething basically it's meant
(39:41):
to get at whatever needs to betaken care of at that time.
So with the 2 sessions that I'vehad, one of them, I wasn't sure.
You know, I I had done plenty ofsessions with other people and I
thought, am I really gonna beable to go under? Because I know
the script. I know how it'ssupposed to go. You know, all of
that.
One of the things that happensis as long as you keep talking
(40:01):
in the session, you start itstarts to reveal more
information. And the thing thatI mainly walked away from that
one with is that this absolutelywas something that I need to
believe. Not that I wouldn'thave, but because there's no way
I could have made it up. I'm nota good storyteller or story
maker upper. I couldn't even dothat in school when you were
(40:24):
asked to do it.
But, it it was something thattook place in ancient Egypt and
it was kind of outside the realmof what I ordinarily think about
or am interested in or that kindof thing. So it was pretty
astonishing. I let my sisterlisten to the recording and she
said, every once in a while youjust keep going, that's weird.
(40:49):
So I was kind of, it was allunfolding in front of me as I
went along, but I was definitelyaware through the whole thing,
but removed. So I knew I wasthere were times, I'm trying to
think in one of the sessions,there were times when I knew
that I had this big smile on myface, so I knew my face was
smiling.
(41:09):
That's about the way I wasfeeling, not like I was smiling.
I knew my face was smiling, youknow, so I was a little bit
removed from that. And, that waskind of one of those interesting
ecstatic experiences. So the onein ancient ancient Egypt was,
again, very much developed in away that I never would have
foreseen, never would have beenable to make up. So that was a
(41:31):
great indicator for me.
This this is really dosomething, you know? So then the
other the other life that Ivisited, I was or that I, you
know, took part in. I wassomeone who lived in a very
primitive African junglevillage. And it became clear
toward the end of it that thepeople in my community, we'd get
(41:54):
together once a year and wewould use plant medicine to talk
with the spirits on the otherside. And, the men did one
thing, took one kind of thing,the women took other kind of
thing because they had differentresponsibilities within the
community.
And, I was a male. And what youdid is every year, we'd go to
this and we'd go we'd basicallyvisit the other world. What we
call what I ended up saying outof my mouth that the
(42:17):
practitioner repeated back, andI didn't think about it when I
was saying it was I kept callingit true world. And so the thing
is when the reason I bring thatup is because we're so
accustomed to doing this everysingle year once we hit a
certain age that when it wastime for me to die, I was the
one who decided where and whenand not how I died really, but
(42:37):
there was a ceremony and it wasconsidered a cause for
celebration. You chose the timeyou were dying.
You didn't kill yourself. Iwent, there was a ceremony where
I was the the women that weredoing herbal concoctions and
stuff gave me something and putpoultices on me or something and
then the elders gave me ablessing. And then I got up,
walked out of this hut, found aplace in the jungle, dug a
(43:01):
pretty shallow thing that wasabout the size of my body and my
head was up a little bit,covered myself with leaves and
then sank down into the ground.My soul sank down into the earth
and I could feel this wholething. And then like went, took
almost like a U-turn and wentstraight up into the sky.
And it was just, that's when mymouth was smiling. Like the
(43:23):
whole thing was just like, oh.And then the, so there were two
things about that. So then thatvery easily took me into the
healing part of the wholesession because it really I was
so relaxed and so involved inthis part of it. And it felt so
(43:45):
good that, you know, that justmade it very easy for me to go
into the Higher Self part.
Well, the other thing was, forsome reason all my life this is
going to sound so weird, and Ialways thought it was so weird,
but I still felt it I've alwaysbeen drawn to wanting to lie
down on the ground and Iespecially like the idea of
lying on like freshly tilledsoil because I did a lot of
(44:07):
gardening and all I wanted todo, but I live on a main street,
people walk by and think I'mdead in my garden. I always
wanted to just, like, lie downin that freshly tilled earth and
just kinda sink into it torelax. And sometimes I used to
use that thought to relaxmyself. And that, I went, wow.
(44:27):
You know, like, she didn't knowthat.
I didn't think about it until ithappened. You know? So Wow.
Pretty amazing.
Megan Kearney (44:36):
Yes. It's just those little synchronicities
that, like you said, you weren'tactively thinking about it, but
you can tie it back toexperiences had, which is
Joanna Roux (44:48):
Yep.
Megan Kearney (44:48):
It's so cool. It's probably one of my favorite
things about spirituality isjust looking at the threads that
bring you to where you are. Oneother question for you about
sessions in general. Aside froma past life regression, you had
mentioned before you were a QHHTpractitioner, you had been into
(45:10):
energy healing, kind ofspiritual realm of things. Would
you say that plays a factor inhow easily someone is able to
open up during the QHHT sessionor experience some of these
profound things that some ofyour clients had happened to
them?
Or do you think that that mindbody connection spiritual
(45:34):
connection is not totallynecessary?
Joanna Roux (45:39):
Helps. I don't think it's absolutely necessary.
I think, you know, it depends onhow able the person is to relax
and kind of let go of thesurroundings. And, obviously, I
have a part in that in trying tomake that set the circumstances
so that that can happen. But Ihave found that people who have
I've usually asked people, haveyou ever done a guided
(45:59):
meditation?
Have you ever meditated? Do youknow what that feels like? But
I've had people actually,recently, I had a situation
where the woman said, well and Iknow she's been into spiritual
stuff for a while, but she said,I've tried to meditate, but I'm
not really that good at it. Idon't do it that often, and I'm
you know, I don't really do itthat easily. She had an amazing
session.
You know, she had several in thesame session of those kind of
(46:22):
ecstatic experiences. You know?So it's usually the people that
have some difficulty. Again,like I said, usually need a good
amount of control. And I thinkthat being able to do something
like the group sessions helpstake some of that away, that not
knowing what it's gonna be like.
Like I said, no matter how muchI've been enthusiastic about
(46:44):
doing something, if it's thefirst time, I'm always gonna gum
kinda get my eyes up and go,what's happened next? You know,
more of a curiosity.
Megan Kearney (46:51):
That makes a lot of sense. So looking ahead, what
excites you most about thefuture of QHHT and spiritual
healing? And how do you seepeople using this to rise to
their fullest potential?
Joanna Roux (47:07):
Well, one of the things that excites me about it
is that I feel like every timesomeone experiences some sort of
healing, that it has rippleeffects throughout the universe
basically. But especially hereon earth, you know, I think it
it lets things go that arelimiting and it opens you up to
spirit more. It lets you thebest part of yourself come
(47:28):
through more fully. And, thewhat I one of the things other
things I like about now youknow, doing it now is that so
many more people know aboutthese kinds of things. You know,
when I first started looking atthis stuff, it was really
fringe, really fringe.
Megan Kearney (47:45):
It was woo woo as they call it.
Joanna Roux (47:46):
Yeah. Oh, absolutely. I'm I'm always I'm
like, okay, what woo woo thingyou're up to now, Joanna? But
the and that's okay. I'm owningthat.
I think more and more people areopen to it. There's so much. I
think the internet has played,you know, for better or not
better or worse. The internethas its ups and downs is what
I'm saying. But it has played asignificant role in people just
(48:08):
having access to this kind ofinformation and hearing other
people talk about it and havingtheir own experiences.
Now even through all, there's somany things like guided
meditation on YouTube, you know?So that alone gets like the
podcast that I was talking aboutthat I watch sometimes. I just
looked checked it last nightbecause I knew I was gonna be
(48:28):
talking to you today. Has948,000 subscribers. Wow.
And so that doesn't mean sosubscribers don't equal viewers.
You get many more viewers. Soyou've got probably millions of
people that are listening aboutthings like near death
experiences, channeling, allthat kind of stuff. So I think
(48:50):
we're in an environment and atime that's ripe for all of
this. People to heal themselves,live better lives, the more, you
know, the more you do that, evenif it doesn't and I know it
energetically has ripple effectsthroughout the cosmos.
But if you're happier andhealthier, so are the people
around you, so are the peopleyou run into on the street, you
(49:13):
know, all of that. So I thinkthat's really and the whole idea
of fullest potential is alwaysthat's always been a thing with
me. Like, how can I meet myfullest potential? But also how
can being able to help otherpeople go that deeply? It's just
astonishing to me, you know, andit's really satisfying.
(49:33):
You know, and again, I'm just,I'm kind of honored to do it.
Not kind of, I am honored to doit. Just to, and to watch these
things happen. You know, towatch the person while they're
in this state and what ishappening and how it happens and
everything is, is prettyprofound for me.
Megan Kearney (49:51):
Definitely. Well, thank you so much for all of the
work that you're doing to helppeople connect with their inner
selves and their inner wisdom.For listeners that would like to
book a session with you or learnmore about QHHT, what's the best
place for them to connect withyou?
Joanna Roux (50:09):
So my I have a website pretty much ready for
prime. I'm having to tweak itall the time, But, it's
joannaroux.com. Sojoannaroux.com. And also the
qhhtofficial.com website. If youjust type in a search, you know,
(50:30):
in a browser, QHHT, it'll comeup immediately.
That's a really good place forlearning more about what the
people who developed it and havecharge of it have to say about
it. And there's also on, on theQHHT official site, there's a
find a practitioner listing ofall the QHHT practitioners. And
(50:51):
there are thousands. I mean,there are people from all over
the world. So you can findsomebody in your area.
You know, I'm in Rhode Island,so that's the southern New
England area.
Megan Kearney (51:02):
Awesome. Well, thank you so much for your time
today.
Joanna Roux (51:06):
Thanks so much for having me.
Hello, and welcome to the route to rise
seeds for spiritual awakeningpodcast. Today, as our guests,
we have Joanna Rue. Joanna is aQHHT practitioner with a
background in fields, such asnursing, counseling, psychology,
teaching and facilitation, andvarious energy healing and
(00:21):
intuitive practices. As a QHHTpractitioner, Joanna provides
people with a sense of safetyand comfort so that they can
access their higher selves andbecome their own healers.
Welcome, Joanna.
Joanna Roux (00:34):
Thanks, Meg.
Megan Kearney (00:35):
So happy to have you here.
Joanna Roux (00:38):
I'm so happy to be here.
Megan Kearney (00:41):
Great. So to get started, can you introduce us to
what QHHT is and explain how itworks?
Joanna Roux (00:50):
Sure. So QHHT was developed by Dolores Cannon
beginning in, like, the 19sixties when no one else knew
about. When people were doinghypnosis for things like smoking
cessation and weight loss and,she she was working with her
husband and suddenly a past lifecame through in one of their
sessions. He didn't wantanything to do with it and she
(01:10):
she took it and ran with it. Andthen she spent 40 years
developing her technique down towhere back at back in those
days, it would take over an hourfor people to induce someone
into a hypnotic state and shedeveloped the form that induces
somebody in a few minutes.
So it very much evolved as shewent through it. And now, it's
(01:33):
used very much for issues inpeople's lives. It's used for
physical, mental, emotional,spiritual kinds of things. And
it's a form of hypnosis thatworks with the natural states of
consciousness that we move intoand out of throughout the day.
So, it's meant for personaldevelopment so that you can work
with those blockages, and thepractitioner in a QHHT session
(01:56):
is a facilitator, is guiding theprocess to help the person feel
safe and comfortable, to work tounderstand the questions that
they bring to the session, andhelping the person to connect
with the higher part ofthemselves and that's referred
to either as the higher self,the soul, the subconscious,
whatever the person wants tocall it, but the part of you
(02:17):
that has the bigger picture,knows everything that's ever
gone on in your life and livesand can answer some of the
questions that you bring aboutthe roots of what's happening in
your life, how to adjust that,that sort of thing.
So, it's a pretty deep kind ofthing or and can get deeper and
(02:39):
deeper.
Megan Kearney (02:41):
Definitely. Yeah. And, you know, I had just heard
about QHHT probably 2 monthsago, which is how I met you. And
we had that, you know,serendipitous meeting. So what
first inspired you to become aQHHT practitioner?
How did you find it and how howhas it helped you on your
(03:03):
spiritual path?
Joanna Roux (03:04):
Well, so the spiritual path has been a long
and winding and kinda crazytrip. From the long picture,
years years years ago, when noone ever talked about this kind
of thing, I watched someone do apast life regression on late,
late night TV and I wasfascinated by it. It stuck in my
mind but it didn't really takeit anywhere. But in the past
(03:25):
couple of years, I have watchedsomeone named Alba Weinman, who
does hypnosis sessions onYouTube. And I, again, was
absolutely caught up in that andamazed by it.
And then how I got to start tostudy it was that I listened to
a podcast called Next Level Souland on that was a woman, Suzanne
(03:48):
Spooner, who is one of the topQHHT practitioners and studied
with Dolores Cannon. And shetalked more about it, she talked
about what she did, she has abunch of sessions on YouTube to
watch that are really amazing.And so I looked at Elba
Weinman's description under herYouTube things and she had
(04:08):
studied QHHT but she doesn'tpractice it now, although there
are parts of it that show up init. She studied a bunch of
different things and developedher own technique. Suzanne
Spooner had the full on QHHT,you know, experience and a way
to get, you know, to contactthe, to get to their website and
(04:29):
to learn about what they had tooffer for classes and so I
jumped on that and the rest ishistory.
So it's been, it's just beenamazing. So that's how it
started, spiritual evolution,like I said, that's been a long
strange trip. So that'ssomething I've been interested
in for a long time. My motherused to give me she'd read them
and then we'd share reading, youknow, we'd pass books back and
(04:52):
forth when I was an earlyteenager. I was fascinated by
all this stuff but kind ofscared of it.
And then, but at the same time,I also did things like I spent
my last $45 just as I was aboutto go to college. I was away by
parents' way. At that point, myfamily had been down in Florida
for a little while. So I spentthe last money that I had to
learn how to do TranscendentalMeditation. So that happened a
(05:14):
long, long time ago.
And I've also had all theseother bizarre, otherworldly
things happen over the course ofmy life. Some wonderful, some,
some that I prompted, some thatweren't prompted like out of
body experiences. I learned howto do that consciously at one
point. And in the mid ninetieswhen this was all flourishing,
like there were new agebookstores everywhere, learned
(05:35):
how to read tarot cards andtaught classes in it and that
kind of thing. And I take, Ilove to learn new things so I'm
taking classes still all thetime.
Mediumship channeling, differentkinds of energy healing
techniques, reading books. Ibelong to a spiritualist church
for about a year and a half andthey had a lot of classes, so
you name it, I'll throw it. If Ithink it's gonna get me
(05:56):
somewhere spiritually going tohelp me and and if it kinda
calls to me. So then, also inthe early thousands I lost
several family members includingmy daughter. So that moved
things in a sort of a differentkind of direction and also kind
of amped them up.
But it's still going on. I'mgoing to Peru relatively soon to
do some hypnosis training andalso to visit sacred sites in
(06:19):
Machu Picchu and things likethat. Wow. So yeah. So it keeps
on go keeps on it's the giftthat keeps on giving.
Megan Kearney (06:26):
That's amazing. And it sounds like you kind of
always had the spiritualconnection, these spiritual
practices that you were doing.You mentioned the tarot, you
mentioned the books, the peoplethat you were listening to, but
you also have a background inthe healthcare industry and
mental health counseling aswell. So how would you say that
(06:48):
has played into yourunderstanding of QHHT and maybe
your understanding of the mind,body, spirit connection?
Joanna Roux (06:57):
Well, right now, being where I am with the QHHT,
that and and again, the healthcare piece is only part of my
work history and I stopped beinga nurse a long time ago. But all
the things, the different weirdthings that I've followed and
been interested in and learnedhave helped me and I can see
where they got me to where I amwith QHHT. So for example,
(07:21):
having been a nurse, I'm verycomfortable with, you know, one
to one situations and peoplethat are in distress or ill
health. And I know anatomy andphysiology really well, so
that's if you have thatvocabulary, then spirit can work
with you, you know, your higherself and the client's higher
self can work with you so thatyou understand. They know you
(07:42):
understand the terms and you canuse the right terms and you can,
you know, that helps.
Also, I did at a differentpoint, I did counseling
psychology as well. I studied atgraduate level. And I, at one
point, I did bereavementcounseling with a visiting nurse
association. And, so I have noproblem talking to people about
anything, talking with them andlistening about anything that
(08:05):
happened. So it's kind of like,if you can be there when they're
grieving or about to grieve astheir loved one is dying, you
can pretty much talk aboutanything.
So that doesn't I feel forpeople that are going through
those kinds of and I've beenthrough things myself in my
life, so I feel for people thatare going through those kinds of
things. So I have anappreciation of what can help,
(08:27):
what might help, what mightharm, you know, that sort of
thing. So, as far as the healthcare system, I became
disenchanted with that a longtime ago, the traditional
medical system. And, then Ileft, I mean, I left that as a
nurse, but then I came backquite a few years later and
worked as a trainer and aconsultant in a hospital system
(08:49):
and saw behind the scenes whatwas going on at the top levels
and all that stuff and I becameeven more disenchanted.
Enchanted.
And then especially when myfamily members were ill, several
went through, you know, chemoand surgeries and radiation and
all those kinds of things andI'm the nurse in the family so I
was around to watch that happen.It was even worse. That was one
piece of it so and I think thathelped prod me to get into some
(09:13):
other kinds of things. So backeven in the nineties, again,
where new age things were all onevery corner, I took a bunch of
different classes. 1 was BarbaraBrennan's healing, energy
healing stuff was popular at thetime.
I went to New Mexico and learnedabout that. I learned something
called clarity therapy that wasa year long program that was
kind of like Reiki or a littlebit like Reiki but it was light
(09:34):
touch involved, you know, andthat was really interesting. I
went to a wellness expo and Iwas just trying different stuff.
I had some loose money to spend.I just wanted to try different
things.
And in the middle of anexposition center in Boston, I
laid down on I have a hard timesleeping in my own quiet house.
(09:55):
I went out cold during thissession that as they were doing
the healing, demo on me in thistrade center with thousands of
people milling around. If Icould do that, I thought there's
something to this thing andthat's why I studied it. So, you
know, that was part of it. Ialso read this book way back
when called Vibrational Healingand it was written by an MD who
(10:18):
talked about some of thedifferent things like
acupuncture and all those thingsthat had been around for a long
time but used medical tools totest and see what was happening
like they put on acupunctureneedles, they put things that
measured the current that wascoming from the acupuncture
points and stuff like that.
So, it was very convincing to methat book. But then other
things, you know, differentkinds of healing, not just
(10:39):
physical healing, the mediumshipand channeling kinds of things
that I've studied. I've seenamazing healing experiences for
me, about my family members, andalso for the people that I when
I was the medium or I was thesitter. So I was the medium,
I've seen what's happened toother people that I read for. I
mean, an example of that was mybrother and I didn't get along
(11:00):
very well when we were when hewas alive.
And in at this one point in justin a class and a little exercise
we were doing, this woman whodidn't even seem like she
particularly wanted to be therepicked up on him and said some
things that were just the way hewould say it. And also, she
said, at one point said, comeon, Joe. Nobody outside of my
(11:23):
family or the people I grew upwith calls me Joe ever. And this
woman didn't know me from a holein the wall. So it sounded like
him.
It hit on things that were partof our experience and it was
very healing. So that kind ofstuff. And then I used to go to
acupuncture, you know, and sawthat. That was the only thing
that helped me when I worked ina really toxic environment, I
(11:44):
was stressed out all the time.So when my daughter was going
through cancer treatment and hadchemo and radiation and
surgeries and all that kind ofstuff, one of the things she
said to me, she and I would goto acupuncture together and she
said the acupuncturist was theonly person in that whole realm
of people that were caring forher, quote unquote, that made
her feel cared for, theacupuncturist.
(12:05):
So, and you know, we are spiritand everything is energy and our
body is electromagnetic That'swhy MRIs and CAT Scans and those
kinds of things work. So, once Ithought about that and also the
the things that have been aroundfor years that our minds, our
behaviors, our thought patterns,they all influence whether
energy gets blocked or flowsfreely and and the repetitive
(12:28):
behaviors that cause theblockages eventually create
disease. That thought's beenaround for a long, long time and
been pretty well, you know,accepted kind of into the day to
day existence of people theseday. You know, people don't
think it's an oddball ideaanymore as much. So I've seen
what can happen with that.
And then of course my, you know,then having my own QHHT sessions
(12:51):
from other practitioners andthen offering what I see as a
facilitator is just phenomenaland astounding every single
time.
Megan Kearney (13:00):
That's awesome. It it sounds like you along with
your scientific background andknowledge, you've also had sort
of reaffirming things happen toyou, like you mentioned, the
medium speaking to you as yourbrother. I think that's really
important, and not everybody hasthat or is open to receiving
(13:23):
sort of those experiences. Sofor someone who might be
unfamiliar with QHHT, maybe alittle skeptical, what would you
say for them to prepare for asession? What can they expect in
a session, and how can they kindof open their minds to maybe
letting their higher selfconnect with them?
Joanna Roux (13:43):
Yeah. A lot a lot of the higher self piece
connecting, you know, people aresometimes afraid because they
don't know what that is ormeans, But it's really just you.
You know, it's not some, I don'tknow, ghost or something. You
know, I don't know what peoplethink it is. It's not something
that's trying to control you.
It's guiding you from a kind ofa higher perspective of your
(14:04):
life and it's, it's got yourbest interests in mind, you
know. So that's one thing. Butagain, so people who need a lot
of control, and that's usuallybased in fear of something. One
of the ways things can happen inQHHC so that's easier to work
with is, it starts in the verybeginning. It starts even before
a session.
(14:25):
So, a lot of times, I like totalk to people who wanna have a
session ahead of time, so theycan ask any questions they want,
so they can have a chance tohear, you know, what I have to
say about it. They can get toknow me a little bit or at
least, like, kinda feel a vibefrom me to see whether they
really wanna do it or not. Andand I try to help them
understand the things that theymight be afraid of why that may,
(14:47):
you know, that most likely won'thappen in the session. So the
QHHT is really an individualsession. You're in a deeper
trance state and from that stateyou can, in a particular
session, you can go through atime where we talk about the
(15:07):
person's life and hear from youwhat's your life story, who are
the people in it, what are thepatterns you've seen?
What are the repeating themesthat have come up in your life?
We're finding out what you wantto get out of the session. What
are the questions that you camewith? So that I understand what
they are when when we get to thepoint where the person's in
trance and I can kinda make surethat those questions get
(15:29):
addressed, hopefully. It's it'sa natural state that you're in.
The trance state that you gointo isn't anything super weird
because we're into it twice aday at least. So, in the trance
state, it's the state thatyou're in when you first wake up
in the morning and when you'refalling asleep at night. That in
between state where you're notquite awake and you're not quite
(15:52):
asleep. That's all it is. Andwhen you're in that state, when
you're in hypnosis and you cantell me what it was like for you
too as well for your session.
But for me, when I have QHHTsessions, I feel relaxed, kind
of like a guided meditation. Ifyou've ever experienced a guided
meditation, to me, I thoughtthat was very similar to what
that was like. You're relaxedbut a little detached. You know,
(16:15):
you're aware. People used to, inthe early days of QHHT, they'd
be they'd go out cold.
And when when practitioners haveasked the higher selves about
that or their clients, they sayit's because back in those days
no one knew what past lives wereand no one knew what this kind
of thing was and they wouldn'thave believed the results unless
they went deeper and theylistened to the recording that's
(16:37):
made in the sessions, played itback and heard this stuff coming
out of their own mouths, youknow? So I think that helped
people understand and feelbetter about it. And I've
mentioned past lives a couple oftimes and that's part of it's
not necessarily past lives thesedays, that's part of the
experience that you look at. Youdon't have to experience pain or
(16:58):
anything like that, you can sitand kind of report on it, you
can see it and report on it, youcan there are suggestions within
being in the trance that you cansay, you can just watch this
like a movie, just tell mewhat's happening kind of thing.
And using those past lives andagain, it sometimes it turns out
to be memories from this life orit turns out to be other
experiences, which sometimespeople go between lives,
(17:18):
sometimes they go off planetshall we say.
You know, there are all kinds ofunusual things but it's most
often a past life or, in myexperience or a memory from
earlier in this life that hassome bearing on why you're here
and what's going on in your liferight now. A lot of times it
seems to me most often thechildhood things are positive
(17:40):
memories, you know? But evendifficult, I mean, we had people
with very difficult situationsin their lives and still they've
gone through it, feeling, youknow, feeling fine about they're
not disturbed. And there's a lotwithin the whole session with
the while the person's intrance, to make sure that they
walk away from that. Puttingthat experience where it
(18:02):
belongs, you know, and nothaving it bother them after
they've finished with thesession.
So you're just working with thatclient once they get deep enough
and relaxed enough to youconnect then with their higher
self. And to me, that's that'sthem just bringing through or
channeling, if you wanna call itthat, what the part of them that
(18:22):
knows better. You know how theytalk about when people are under
anesthesia, they don't rememberwhat I mean they they're aware
of what's said but they don'tnecessarily remember it. It's
all of those things, everythingthat's ever happened to you or
been sat around you or you'vethought or whatever it all sort
of can be accessed. So, peopleare becoming more aware of that
right now.
And the recording, I think, isimportant too because that I
(18:45):
think that helps people feel Ithink a lot of times people are
concerned that someone else isgoing to control them, But
that's not the case at all. It'sjust, like, in my role, it's
just as a facilitator to ask theright questions, to help guide
through this process that getsthem to that deep state, and to
kind of with the higher self, alot of times it's just a lot of
(19:06):
times they'll answer in veryshort closed ended way, you
know, she knows this, you know,and then it's up to me to kind
of prompt and say, okay. Howwould you explain this a little
bit better? She'll know. Can youtell me a little bit about what
she has to look what she shouldbe looking for?
That kind of thing. Anythingelse about, you know, explaining
(19:27):
to to the someone who is alittle concerned that you wanna
know about?
Megan Kearney (19:33):
No. I I think that definitely makes sense, and
I can kind of echo what you'resaying about how it's very
meditative, very much guided.When I listen back to my own
recording, there's nosuggestions that you're putting
into my subconscious. It's justmore of a guided imagery
meditation, like you're saying.And in my experience, I did have
(19:57):
a childhood memory that wasalmost rewritten to be positive
so that I could have a positiverelation to a certain time in my
childhood.
So that was very profound. Ithink, you know, I am somebody
who also struggles a little bit,to let go of control, to really
drop in. So that's why yousuggested to do the past life
(20:22):
regression group session beforewe did our 1 on 1. So would you
mind talking a little bit abouthow the group session differs
from an individual session andhow that might help somebody
sort of ease into their 1 on 1session?
Joanna Roux (20:38):
Sure. So the group session is these are great and
it really does make adifference. A lot of the
practitioners have found thatI've seen on the forum that QHHT
has that they say anyone who'sgone to a group regression
session has a much easier timein an individual session, you
know, is able to go more deeply,is able to relax more, that kind
of thing. So in the groupsession, it's a lighter state of
(20:59):
trance because you're not inthis intensive one on one
situation with another person.You're there with as many people
as you can fit in the room as Itold you.
You know, we had the one thatyou went to and you go through a
series of exercises. One's aboutvisualization. Actually, there
are a couple aboutvisualization. There's one about
a past life. And then there aresome other variations of that
(21:20):
you can do if there's time.
It's not exactly the same as,QHHT because in QHHT, among
other things, you're having aconstant back and forth. You're
having a conversation the entiretime, even while you're in
trance. So to tell me whatyou're seeing, to tell me what's
going on. In the groupregression, what we do is you
you have the exercise, you havethe experience, you're guided
(21:43):
through that, and then when thatpart of the exercise is done, we
take out a notebook and jot downwhat you went through before
anybody starts speaking.Everybody just jots down their
experiences.
Then we share with the group,whoever wants to share, it's not
mandatory, but, what happened.And I think the great thing
about that is people get to say,oh, I'm not the only one that
(22:04):
thought I was making it up.
Megan Kearney (22:07):
Everybody in our group, progression, thought they
were making it up.
Joanna Roux (22:11):
Yep. And then you realize that that's, you know,
the part of your mind thatyou're using with this is the
part of your mind that'simaginative. It is your
imagination, kind of, but that'sthat doesn't mean that you're
it's not valid. You're pullingthrough things that have a
reason. And I think with yours,didn't you have the same person,
like, the same you went into thesame past life as you did in the
(22:34):
group session in your individualsession, but it took a different
turn toward the end.
You know, it wasn't exactly whatit seemed like.
Megan Kearney (22:43):
That's right. Yeah. It was sort of a snippet
in the group session. And thenin my individual session, I was
able to go more deeply into itand kind of see it through, see
through the threads to see whatthe message was for my current
self. And I had a thought it'sescaping me, but, but I
(23:04):
definitely think the group, thegroup session was worth it.
It was helpful to kind of knowwhat to expect and have that
practice of going in anddropping into that hypnotic
state. And it was fun too tohave Yeah. To hear other
people's, you know, past livesand kinda see what they were
experiencing as well. So it wasvery interesting.
Joanna Roux (23:25):
That's one of the things I like about it because
it's it is fun, and it's you cansee that it's not scary.
Megan Kearney (23:30):
Mhmm.
Joanna Roux (23:31):
So that's that's the biggest thing. Like I said,
it's a lighter state state oftrance. I did one very small
group session with my sister andher daughter and what my sister
liked about it was that I wasn'twe weren't talking back and
forth all the time because shecould really sink into the the
experience. So that was that'sanother thing. That's more like
the guided meditation.
Megan Kearney (23:53):
Yes. Definitely. And I did like in the group
session how we would sort of gothrough a prompt, and then
everybody had their journal tokind of write down what they had
seen. And like you said, it wasjust very low pressure. It was a
little more difficult to getinto your head with that one of
thinking you're making it up,because you're just writing it
down.
You don't have to share it, likeyou said. And I did wanna
(24:17):
mention one thing you said abouthow people think that they're
making it up because it'simagination and that's the part
of the mind you're using, butthere's also a school of thought
that, that believes that ourconnection to our higher self to
spirit, to source, whatever youwanna call it, is our
creativity. And when we're inthat creative flow is when we're
(24:38):
actually connected with oursource. So
Joanna Roux (24:40):
Right. That's when you can be more open. That's the
thing. It's kind of has elementsof the same energy, basically.
It's all we're all energy.
It's all energy. And yet, that'swhen you're able to open up to
that. And I think that's wheresometimes people get concerned,
you know, and that's what kindof gets in the way a little bit
of them being able to open up.That's why a lot of what goes on
(25:04):
in a session is built into thesession. The time we spend
talking ahead of time, the thetype of the way I would use my
voice, the, the environmentthat, you know, like the little
room that I have that I do itin, that kind of thing, to try
to help make sure people feelsafe and relaxed.
And the other thing that thatstrikes me because this is this
(25:24):
is what happened when I have,had acupuncture early on. I
think there's a thing aboutdoing something for the first
time where you're hyper alert.Not and I like the first time I
had acupuncture, I really wantedit. I wasn't scared at all. I
really wanted to do it.
But what I I could find my mindI'm someone who has a hard time
shutting my mind off too. What Iand it was in my house, on my
(25:47):
massage table with someone Iknow and love. It I found myself
going, what's gonna happen next?You know, like, I'm doing that
the whole time. And then thesecond time this person did it
did a session for me, I went outbefore he finished putting the
needles in.
You know, because I knew what itwas like. So that's what I feel
the benefit too of a groupsession is, is that you get a
chance to taste the pieces of itand there are a lot of pieces in
(26:10):
that group session that aremimicked or or used outright in
a QHHT session. But thedifference is that one is a deep
state where you're interactingback and forth with the
facilitator and the client, andthat you're it's 1 on 1. And
also, there's the whole higherself part that you go into more
(26:30):
much much more depth with. Andthe group sessions are also
shorter, even though I think wewent on for about 3 hours maybe,
you know, but it seems like itwent by fast.
Megan Kearney (26:40):
It didn't feel long, but it I think it was it
ended up being 3 hours. So likelike you said, it's fun to do it
with your friends. It's a goodexperience, and and it did set
set me up. And my other friendwho did a session with you, it
set her up as well to kind ofdrop in more deeply. So on the
topic of the QHHT individualsessions, you mentioned before
(27:01):
that, people come withquestions, and they're kind of
looking for certain things.
Would you say there's a commontheme of reasons people seek out
QHHT? What kind of things arethey usually hoping to address,
and have you witnessed anyprofound transformations from
the questions that people bring?
Joanna Roux (27:23):
So, yeah, that's a big those are long questions.
Megan Kearney (27:26):
Yes.
Joanna Roux (27:26):
Multiple complex questions. So the reasons people
seek out QHHC are all the humanthings. You know, at first, you
know, physical issues, diseases,chronic pain, things like that
that they've been working with,results after effects of, you
know, botched surgeries or wearand tear from age or all kinds
(27:46):
of things like that. Longstanding emotional situations
like grief or shame or guilt ordepression, and patterns they'd
like to break. You know, why doI always do this?
Why can't I stop judging people?You know, that kind of thing.
Relationship questions. How canI help support my child the best
way possible? Or why do I alwaysfeel like, you know, this person
(28:08):
and I hit it off right away whenwe knew each other.
We felt like we'd known eachother forever. That sort of past
life kind of prompt. Andspiritual development. So,
what's my purpose in life? Howcan I connect more solidly with
my higher self?
You know, those kinds of things.Broad spectrum, but everybody is
(28:29):
different. Every session isdifferent. There's a process
underlying it, you know,underlying what I'm doing. There
are certain steps, ways to makethis happen.
But I don't think I've ever hadany session that went exactly
the way it was supposed to.Because things come up, things
take different turns, peoplecome into a different place in
(28:52):
their past life than it wasexpected, you know, they come in
between lives or something likethat and you work with that.
But, you know, you individualizeit, everyone's unique, you
individualize it, help them feelsafe and comfortable like I
mentioned, you listen carefullyto what they have to tell you
about themselves and whatthey're trying to achieve. It
really helps to be very curiousabout what's happening to them
(29:14):
as the session goes along.Asking a lot of open ended
questions to have them offermore.
Give you essay type answersinstead of yes or no. And also
having to kind of be fast onyour feet with figuring out
where to take things whensomething happens that you
didn't expect, which is severaltimes in every session. So, you
know, it's being able to justkind of go with what's happening
(29:36):
in the session.
Megan Kearney (29:37):
Awesome.
Joanna Roux (29:37):
Does that feel like it answers your question?
Megan Kearney (29:39):
Definitely. Yeah. It does.
Joanna Roux (29:41):
Oh, you mentioned the the transfer may or the
amazing things that happen.
Megan Kearney (29:45):
Yeah. Either for you or clients you've worked
with. What what have you seenand what what kinda stands out
to you?
Joanna Roux (29:52):
Yeah. Well, there are, there's several different
instances of people havingphysical pain that they've had
for years, and when they sit upfrom the session, they say it's
gone and it stays gone. Youknow, one person, I think I did
a session for in March, sat upand said, oh, I've had this back
lower back pain. And I it was onher list, but somehow we didn't
(30:14):
really talk about it. And andshe said, that's weird.
I've had back lower back painfor a long time, and now it's
gone. And I've checked in withher frequently since this was 9
months ago. Wow. And part ofwhat people can help with with
that is sometimes if you've hadexperienced something like that
for a long time, you think andand this client had a way of
(30:36):
approaching it that I thoughtwas really good. She said, when
she first set up, she said, Istill kind of feel the echo of
it, as if it's going to happen.
And And then we talked aboutthat and I kept checking in on
her and she said, I finally havetold myself, oh, I used to have
that but I don't have itanymore. And so any time that
she felt that, what she calledan echo, that's what she said to
(30:59):
herself to help it continue togo on that way. I've also been
kind of astounded when there areissues that come up on the body
scan that the client didn'tbring up, but they might have
known existed. And they go, oh,yeah. I've had that for, you
know, this long time, and itgets fixed.
Or when they can feel what'shappening. They can feel what's
being done, like someone thathad an issue with one of her
(31:20):
legs and the higher self saidit's out of alignment. And they
aligned it during the session,and then she said I can feel
them doing that. And then toldme, I don't know, a couple of
weeks later, it's great. My legis fine.
Wow. You know? And it had beenan issue for a long time. And
(31:41):
then, some of the kind of jawdropping ones have to do with
the, what I think of as ecstaticexperiences that people have
either in the between life statebecause we didn't talk about
that, but every life, every pastlife that you work with or, and
that's not saying it the rightway, but when you go into the
(32:01):
past life part, you take theperson through, as you know,
through the last day of theirlife and into the other side,
after the life. And that's wherea lot of the amazing stuff
happens because I've had peoplewho, when they get on the other
side, they said, Oh, it's sothey always say, I always say,
What is, what is, you know, theguides that have been with you
in your life, what do they sayto you?
(32:21):
And they always say, Welcomeback. And they and so they'd
say, It feels so welcoming. It'sjust love, and it's so
forgiving, and it's not aboutpunishment, and you're just
having these experiences in lifeto learn from. And one person
said, I'm not afraid of deathanymore. Because of that, that
one little sort of like maybe 5minute piece of the session,
(32:46):
among other things, but that washuge, I think.
And then, I've had a client whoembodied what was in this past
life scenario, and it was hardfor me to tell whether the
person the way it came acrosswas as if the person in that
past life died and was in spiritnow, but they weren't. An angel
(33:08):
came along and let this personembody the angel's body and feel
what it felt like to be anangel. And that was just
astounding, you know, havingthat to arc back to if you're
feeling down or things weren'tgoing your way or something. You
(33:28):
get to feel that.
Megan Kearney (33:29):
That's so true. And there's definitely a lot of
spiritual teachings about howbeing able to connect with a
feeling of your manifestation orsomething that, that you want in
your life is so important. Andif you haven't had that feeling,
you won't be able to connectwith it. So you mentioned the
woman who could feel her legaligning, you know, having that
(33:54):
feeling of alignment toreference back to, or having
that feeling of coming home toyour soul at the end of a life
and being welcomed and loved.Like you said, just being able
to reference that in your dailylife can help you sort of walk
through life in a more peaceful,joyful way.
And I really liked what youshared as well about the woman
(34:16):
who had the back pain and howshe mentioned it was an echo.
And then she just decided totell herself, I used to have
that, but I don't anymore.
Joanna Roux (34:26):
Right.
Megan Kearney (34:26):
And it's sort of like, we get so used to being in
a certain state. And then whenwe're not in that state anymore,
we almost don't know what to do.But I think the mindset shift
that she had was a superprofound and important for
sustaining that healing, likeyou said.
Joanna Roux (34:44):
Yeah. And another one, this last example was
pretty striking to me. And,person has had asthma for 30
years, over 30 years, and hasbeen on inhalers, steroid
inhalers, and that kind ofthing. And when the higher self
did a body scan, they said, itwas sensing that this I'm always
(35:06):
asking what's the origin ofthat, and we were sensing this
was from a drowning. And as wefollow that back, we very often
follow it back to the where thatfirst began.
When was the first person thisfirst time this person
experienced this? And she couldsee herself and feel herself
underwater. Although again, itdidn't disturb her. She could
watch it as a movie basically,but she could give me the
(35:27):
details. And she had her handsbound behind her and she was
underwater.
Someone had drowned her. And sothen her Higher Self healed that
back in that life. She saw it aslike a capsule of darkness, is
the way she was telling me aboutit, her Higher Self was telling
me about it, and sent it lightand it changed from dark to
(35:50):
light and it came all the way upthis kind of thread they usually
call it back to her body and itcame up her side and up across
her lungs. And she said, I feltlike that's the first time I've
taken a deep breath, full, youknow, kind of clean breath in
ages. And, you know, and thenthe higher self had advice about
(36:14):
the inhalers and about naturalthings that could be done to
help not need to rely on them asmuch.
That was in, I believe it was inSeptember, so that's 3 months
ago. I think she's only used herinhalers maybe a few times 2 or
3 times because of somethingprovoked, like she was at a an
(36:35):
outdoor barbecue or somethingand the smoke got to her. So
that she needed it a couple ofdays after that. But in those 3
months, she's hardly used thoseat all and she's been using
these other natural teas and youknow, inhaled steam and things
like that. And it has and shehas something that she can check
her pulse her pulse ox pulseoximeter.
(36:55):
She can check her oxygen everymorning. And it's been better
than it was when even she was onthe medication. That
Megan Kearney (37:03):
is that's so amazing. I mean and and you had
mentioned before that thishigher self, it's not outside of
us. It's not this entity. You'renot suggesting anything to
people who are going throughQHHT. It's all within them.
The healing that they'reaccessing, that they're
providing for themselves, it'sall within.
Joanna Roux (37:25):
That's what I like most about it. Because, you
know, like, I read tarot cardsat at one point or I've done
other kinds of energy healingand it's like people are coming
to you for this and they thinkthat somehow you've got the
power to heal them. But it'snot, it's them. Even with some
of the energy healing things, Istill wasn't doing it, but
you're putting your hands onthem and stuff, so they think
(37:47):
you're creating this. But withthis, it's not only very clear
that they're doing thisthemselves, that it's coming
from their Higher Self, but theycan hear it on the recording.
It's in their voice. You know?And that has its own frequency
that can help with the healing.
Megan Kearney (38:05):
Exactly.
Joanna Roux (38:05):
Very cool.
Megan Kearney (38:07):
And and it's continuous. You know? My higher
self recommended for me tolisten to my recording once a
week and maybe someone else'swanted them to listen to it more
or less, but, you know, everytime you listen back to it, you
hear something different and itcan unlock something inside to
kind of continue to fillfacilitate that healing. So
(38:29):
very, very interesting. And Iwant to ask you about your own
experience with QHHT as aparticipant, as somebody who
who's
Joanna Roux (38:42):
A client.
Megan Kearney (38:43):
Yeah. Yes. As a client. Yes. So can you tell me
a little bit about how yourexperience with QHHT has maybe
strengthened your connectionwith your higher self and kind
of helped you along your journeyas well.
Joanna Roux (38:59):
Mhmm. You know, in recent years, because of a lot
of the things that I've done, Ifeel like I have a pretty strong
connection with my higher self,but it's not like it's sitting
there going, hey, do this, doyou know, like, once in a while,
I can tell when it's not oroften enough I can tell when
it's not me and I have a lot ofways to kind of get around that.
But, what I came away from withthe 2 experience because
(39:21):
practitioners share sessionswith one another. That's the
other thing we didn't say isthat QHHT session ordinarily is
meant to be 1 and done unlesssomething happens like as if
something in your life happensthat's significant that you
might need to revisit. It'ssomething basically it's meant
(39:41):
to get at whatever needs to betaken care of at that time.
So with the 2 sessions that I'vehad, one of them, I wasn't sure.
You know, I I had done plenty ofsessions with other people and I
thought, am I really gonna beable to go under? Because I know
the script. I know how it'ssupposed to go. You know, all of
that.
One of the things that happensis as long as you keep talking
(40:01):
in the session, you start itstarts to reveal more
information. And the thing thatI mainly walked away from that
one with is that this absolutelywas something that I need to
believe. Not that I wouldn'thave, but because there's no way
I could have made it up. I'm nota good storyteller or story
maker upper. I couldn't even dothat in school when you were
(40:24):
asked to do it.
But, it it was something thattook place in ancient Egypt and
it was kind of outside the realmof what I ordinarily think about
or am interested in or that kindof thing. So it was pretty
astonishing. I let my sisterlisten to the recording and she
said, every once in a while youjust keep going, that's weird.
(40:49):
So I was kind of, it was allunfolding in front of me as I
went along, but I was definitelyaware through the whole thing,
but removed. So I knew I wasthere were times, I'm trying to
think in one of the sessions,there were times when I knew
that I had this big smile on myface, so I knew my face was
smiling.
(41:09):
That's about the way I wasfeeling, not like I was smiling.
I knew my face was smiling, youknow, so I was a little bit
removed from that. And, that waskind of one of those interesting
ecstatic experiences. So the onein ancient ancient Egypt was,
again, very much developed in away that I never would have
foreseen, never would have beenable to make up. So that was a
(41:31):
great indicator for me.
This this is really dosomething, you know? So then the
other the other life that Ivisited, I was or that I, you
know, took part in. I wassomeone who lived in a very
primitive African junglevillage. And it became clear
toward the end of it that thepeople in my community, we'd get
(41:54):
together once a year and wewould use plant medicine to talk
with the spirits on the otherside. And, the men did one
thing, took one kind of thing,the women took other kind of
thing because they had differentresponsibilities within the
community.
And, I was a male. And what youdid is every year, we'd go to
this and we'd go we'd basicallyvisit the other world. What we
call what I ended up saying outof my mouth that the
(42:17):
practitioner repeated back, andI didn't think about it when I
was saying it was I kept callingit true world. And so the thing
is when the reason I bring thatup is because we're so
accustomed to doing this everysingle year once we hit a
certain age that when it wastime for me to die, I was the
one who decided where and whenand not how I died really, but
(42:37):
there was a ceremony and it wasconsidered a cause for
celebration. You chose the timeyou were dying.
You didn't kill yourself. Iwent, there was a ceremony where
I was the the women that weredoing herbal concoctions and
stuff gave me something and putpoultices on me or something and
then the elders gave me ablessing. And then I got up,
walked out of this hut, found aplace in the jungle, dug a
(43:01):
pretty shallow thing that wasabout the size of my body and my
head was up a little bit,covered myself with leaves and
then sank down into the ground.My soul sank down into the earth
and I could feel this wholething. And then like went, took
almost like a U-turn and wentstraight up into the sky.
And it was just, that's when mymouth was smiling. Like the
(43:23):
whole thing was just like, oh.And then the, so there were two
things about that. So then thatvery easily took me into the
healing part of the wholesession because it really I was
so relaxed and so involved inthis part of it. And it felt so
(43:45):
good that, you know, that justmade it very easy for me to go
into the Higher Self part.
Well, the other thing was, forsome reason all my life this is
going to sound so weird, and Ialways thought it was so weird,
but I still felt it I've alwaysbeen drawn to wanting to lie
down on the ground and Iespecially like the idea of
lying on like freshly tilledsoil because I did a lot of
(44:07):
gardening and all I wanted todo, but I live on a main street,
people walk by and think I'mdead in my garden. I always
wanted to just, like, lie downin that freshly tilled earth and
just kinda sink into it torelax. And sometimes I used to
use that thought to relaxmyself. And that, I went, wow.
(44:27):
You know, like, she didn't knowthat.
I didn't think about it until ithappened. You know? So Wow.
Pretty amazing.
Megan Kearney (44:36):
Yes. It's just those little synchronicities
that, like you said, you weren'tactively thinking about it, but
you can tie it back toexperiences had, which is
Joanna Roux (44:48):
Yep.
Megan Kearney (44:48):
It's so cool. It's probably one of my favorite
things about spirituality isjust looking at the threads that
bring you to where you are. Oneother question for you about
sessions in general. Aside froma past life regression, you had
mentioned before you were a QHHTpractitioner, you had been into
(45:10):
energy healing, kind ofspiritual realm of things. Would
you say that plays a factor inhow easily someone is able to
open up during the QHHT sessionor experience some of these
profound things that some ofyour clients had happened to
them?
Or do you think that that mindbody connection spiritual
(45:34):
connection is not totallynecessary?
Joanna Roux (45:39):
Helps. I don't think it's absolutely necessary.
I think, you know, it depends onhow able the person is to relax
and kind of let go of thesurroundings. And, obviously, I
have a part in that in trying tomake that set the circumstances
so that that can happen. But Ihave found that people who have
I've usually asked people, haveyou ever done a guided
(45:59):
meditation?
Have you ever meditated? Do youknow what that feels like? But
I've had people actually,recently, I had a situation
where the woman said, well and Iknow she's been into spiritual
stuff for a while, but she said,I've tried to meditate, but I'm
not really that good at it. Idon't do it that often, and I'm
you know, I don't really do itthat easily. She had an amazing
session.
You know, she had several in thesame session of those kind of
(46:22):
ecstatic experiences. You know?So it's usually the people that
have some difficulty. Again,like I said, usually need a good
amount of control. And I thinkthat being able to do something
like the group sessions helpstake some of that away, that not
knowing what it's gonna be like.
Like I said, no matter how muchI've been enthusiastic about
(46:44):
doing something, if it's thefirst time, I'm always gonna gum
kinda get my eyes up and go,what's happened next? You know,
more of a curiosity.
Megan Kearney (46:51):
That makes a lot of sense. So looking ahead, what
excites you most about thefuture of QHHT and spiritual
healing? And how do you seepeople using this to rise to
their fullest potential?
Joanna Roux (47:07):
Well, one of the things that excites me about it
is that I feel like every timesomeone experiences some sort of
healing, that it has rippleeffects throughout the universe
basically. But especially hereon earth, you know, I think it
it lets things go that arelimiting and it opens you up to
spirit more. It lets you thebest part of yourself come
(47:28):
through more fully. And, thewhat I one of the things other
things I like about now youknow, doing it now is that so
many more people know aboutthese kinds of things. You know,
when I first started looking atthis stuff, it was really
fringe, really fringe.
Megan Kearney (47:45):
It was woo woo as they call it.
Joanna Roux (47:46):
Yeah. Oh, absolutely. I'm I'm always I'm
like, okay, what woo woo thingyou're up to now, Joanna? But
the and that's okay. I'm owningthat.
I think more and more people areopen to it. There's so much. I
think the internet has played,you know, for better or not
better or worse. The internethas its ups and downs is what
I'm saying. But it has played asignificant role in people just
(48:08):
having access to this kind ofinformation and hearing other
people talk about it and havingtheir own experiences.
Now even through all, there's somany things like guided
meditation on YouTube, you know?So that alone gets like the
podcast that I was talking aboutthat I watch sometimes. I just
looked checked it last nightbecause I knew I was gonna be
(48:28):
talking to you today. Has948,000 subscribers. Wow.
And so that doesn't mean sosubscribers don't equal viewers.
You get many more viewers. Soyou've got probably millions of
people that are listening aboutthings like near death
experiences, channeling, allthat kind of stuff. So I think
(48:50):
we're in an environment and atime that's ripe for all of
this. People to heal themselves,live better lives, the more, you
know, the more you do that, evenif it doesn't and I know it
energetically has ripple effectsthroughout the cosmos.
But if you're happier andhealthier, so are the people
around you, so are the peopleyou run into on the street, you
(49:13):
know, all of that. So I thinkthat's really and the whole idea
of fullest potential is alwaysthat's always been a thing with
me. Like, how can I meet myfullest potential? But also how
can being able to help otherpeople go that deeply? It's just
astonishing to me, you know, andit's really satisfying.
(49:33):
You know, and again, I'm just,I'm kind of honored to do it.
Not kind of, I am honored to doit. Just to, and to watch these
things happen. You know, towatch the person while they're
in this state and what ishappening and how it happens and
everything is, is prettyprofound for me.
Megan Kearney (49:51):
Definitely. Well, thank you so much for all of the
work that you're doing to helppeople connect with their inner
selves and their inner wisdom.For listeners that would like to
book a session with you or learnmore about QHHT, what's the best
place for them to connect withyou?
Joanna Roux (50:09):
So my I have a website pretty much ready for
prime. I'm having to tweak itall the time, But, it's
joannaroux.com. Sojoannaroux.com. And also the
qhhtofficial.com website. If youjust type in a search, you know,
(50:30):
in a browser, QHHT, it'll comeup immediately.
That's a really good place forlearning more about what the
people who developed it and havecharge of it have to say about
it. And there's also on, on theQHHT official site, there's a
find a practitioner listing ofall the QHHT practitioners. And
(50:51):
there are thousands. I mean,there are people from all over
the world. So you can findsomebody in your area.
You know, I'm in Rhode Island,so that's the southern New
England area.
Megan Kearney (51:02):
Awesome. Well, thank you so much for your time
today.
Joanna Roux (51:06):
Thanks so much for having me.
