QHHT & Dolores Cannon’s Legacy

Early Life & Entry into Hypnosis

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Dolores led a conventional life until destiny took an unexpected turn. She married Johnny Cannon, a U.S. Navy officer, in 1951 and spent over two decades as a devoted military wife, raising four children while accompanying him on assignments around the world.

Their journey into hypnosis began in the 1960s while stationed at a naval base in Texas. Initially, they used basic hypnosis techniques for habit control—helping people stop smoking or lose weight. But everything changed in 1968 during a session where a client unexpectedly began describing vivid scenes from a past life. This woman, under hypnosis, regressed into being a flapper from 1920s Chicago. The Cannons were stunned, and over multiple sessions, they explored five distinct past lives—eventually tracing her soul’s origin “back to God.”

These early regressions were groundbreaking at a time when past life therapy was virtually unknown. Without formal frameworks or support, Dolores and Johnny forged ahead through instinct, curiosity, and experimentation—an approach that would become the bedrock of her career.

A Life-Altering Accident

Later that same year, Johnny suffered a devastating car accident caused by a drunk driver. He survived but was left permanently disabled. Dolores put her exploration of hypnosis on hold to care for her husband and children.

Years later, when her children were grown and Johnny stabilized, Dolores returned to hypnosis in the late 1970s. Her focus deepened on past life regression, leading her into uncharted territories of human consciousness, soul journeys, and time travel. She meticulously verified clients’ historical memories through independent research, resulting in several landmark books including Five Lives Remembered, Jesus and the Essenes, They Walked with Jesus, and Between Death and Life.

The Discovery of the Subconscious

Over thousands of sessions, Dolores noticed the source of her clients’ insights wasn’t their conscious minds. The voice she encountered had a loving but powerful presence and seemed to have access to infinite knowledge about the person’s life, health, soul, and past incarnations. She came to refer to this force as “The Subconscious”—not in the psychological sense, but as a Higher Self, Oversoul, or infinite intelligence.

This discovery transformed her work.

When asked, this Subconscious could explain life challenges, describe karmic patterns, offer guidance, and even initiate spontaneous healing—from chronic pain to long-standing illnesses. Dolores emphasized she was merely the facilitator: “They are doing the work. I’m just holding the space.”

Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT®)

Over 45 years, Dolores developed and refined her method—Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique. QHHT® guides clients into the somnambulistic state, a deep trance typically accessed only during the moments just before sleep or waking. While traditional hypnotherapists avoided this state due to its unpredictability, Dolores embraced it—and discovered its potential was limitless.

In this state, clients could:

• Revisit past lives across time, geography, and even galaxies

• Access soul memories and karmic patterns

• Communicate with the Subconscious

• Receive physical and emotional healing—instantly, when appropriate

QHHT® has helped thousands across age, culture, and belief systems, and continues to grow through a global network of trained practitioners.

Ozark Mountain Publishing

Faced with resistance from traditional publishers, Dolores founded Ozark Mountain Publishing in 1992. What began as a necessity grew into a platform that now publishes over 60 titles from more than 50 authors. Her own books are translated into 20 languages and sold across four continents. Through Ozark, Dolores made metaphysical teachings, soul journeys, and cosmic wisdom accessible to a curious and awakening world.

Books & Key Teachings

Dolores’ bibliography spans extraordinary topics:

• UFOs & ETs: The Custodians, Legacy from the Stars, and The Legend of Starcrash share decades of client cases describing pre-birth agreements with extraterrestrial beings. She proposed that many “abductions” were soul contracts made to assist human evolution.

• The Convoluted Universe Series: In these mind-expanding volumes, Dolores explored parallel dimensions, ancient civilizations, time loops, quantum physics, the power of thought, and Earth’s forgotten history. “These are for those who want their minds bent like a pretzel,” she quipped.

• The Three Waves of Volunteers & The New Earth: One of her most influential books, it describes three groups of souls incarnating on Earth to help humanity ascend during this era of awakening. Many of these souls report never having been on Earth before and struggle to adapt to its density and chaos.

• The Nostradamus Trilogy: In a groundbreaking series, Dolores worked through hypnosis to establish direct communication with the spirit of Michel de Nostradamus. Across hundreds of sessions, her clients became conduits for detailed, time-transcending dialogues. Nostradamus corrected mistranslations of his original quatrains and offered updated interpretations for modern times. These books (Conversations with Nostradamus, Volumes 1–3) became some of her most controversial and significant works, bridging history, prophecy, and metaphysical science.

The Subconscious and Healing

Dolores’s work with the Subconscious showed that this inner force—what others call the Higher Self, Source, or Divine Mind—is always present, deeply loving, and infinitely wise. It can access any lifetime, answer any question, and provide healing if the person is ready. Her sessions helped people heal from grief, autoimmune disease, fear, chronic pain, and emotional blocks.

She emphasised: “There are no limitations—unless you believe in them. Anything is possible.”

Her Legacy

Dolores Cannon left behind more than books and techniques—she ignited a global movement. Her teachings continue to guide thousands seeking truth, healing, and connection with their soul.

Today, QHHT® is practiced worldwide, and her books continue to open minds and hearts to deeper truths about who we are and why we’re here.
