What was the most unusual situation you've encountered involving death while doing hypnotherapy? Okay, so when I was moved to Bellingham, this is like, oh, must have been the late 90s. And I was kind of a fledgling hypnotherapist and I actually was renting an office in a health clinic as an alternative healthcare clinic. And so I get a message from the receptionist at the clinic where I was renting a room, saying, I got a call from a family that wanted me to contact them and do a house call. And so I call them which is unusual. You know, I never do house calls really only under really rare circumstances.

So I get the call from this woman. And they said she got my name from last year university in Seattle. So bestir University Pretty reputable alternative health care university so they crank out acupuncturist and all kinds of, you know, naturopath and stuff. And so soon as she told me that little red flag, not a red flag, but a flip flop Tell me Okay, the angels are work here because I have no connection whatsoever with bash your university, never went desires out there and never went to school there. I don't know anybody from last year, you know, so it's like, okay, something's up. And so I go, and they said, they're her husband had cancer and was wondering if I could help.

I said, Well, I'll come and see what I can do. So I ride my bike over to their house, and they live in a really posh part of town. They had a beautiful home with like Zen artwork in their circular driveway that this house that overlooks the bay, and so they had, they had done quite well. And so they're looking for alternative means. So I go in, introduce Myself and it's a woman she's about 70 very attractive, very nicely dressed in a beautiful home. And her daughter and her friend were also there.

And they were about my age and so, so here I am with mother, daughter and friend, and I start talking to them about what's going on. And they said, they wanted me to use hypnosis to give their husband who had cancer, a placebo, so he would get over cancer. Okay, so, okay, so, you know, I just go oh, my God, you know, it's like, I can't you know, I can't do this is the first thing that goes my mind because how many don't know how many ethical boundaries is like violation? Light, oh, guy, make something up. And so what I realized in this conversation is that they're desperate and they're really hanging on and they can't let go. And so so after talking to him, and I really like these people are they They felt like family, they are just connected with them.

I said, Okay, I'll do it. So we all march in to meet love and love is the the father and the husband. And so I walk in there, he's in a bed in their, their living room, which they had set up for him since he had been ill. And as I walk in, love sits up, he sits up to talk to me. And everyone's eyes go wide open with the ladies. And I'm going, oh, what's up? I didn't know till later that live had been in a coma for the last three days.

As soon as I walked in, he sat up, start carrying on a conversation. So go on, I didn't know any of this. So I just carried on this conversation. I told them that there's a new experimental drug that we're going to, you know, try on them, you know, to see if it'll help his cancer and I did what they wanted me to do. And then after that, love laid back down and kind of went to sleep and ask the ladies, if you could just please give me a few minutes. Alone with with your husband and your father and they said, Okay, and so close the door, had a few moments in quiet with love was laying down and was now sleeping.

And I distinctly remember leaning over and whispering in his ear saying, look, you don't need to hold on, you can let go. It's okay. You know, and then I didn't know what to do. I felt kind of awkward. So I put my hands over the top of his body, like maybe three or four inches above his abdomen. And I just said a little prayer to the angels, you know, it's okay.

You know, take take lead, let him go help him released from his family, blah, blah, blah. And as I was doing that, my hands heated up so hot, I thought they were going to blister so there was like, some kind of energetic thing that was really going on there. I didn't know exactly know what and so I go out and close it or leave left to go back to sleep and I stay in The living room with the family because I just felt like I needed to stay, they needed somebody there. And I didn't know, you know, she wasn't quite to the death rattle phase, you know, when people get within the last week or so their life where they're going to die, you know, so they start breathing differently. And so I'm sitting there kind of just waiting and hanging out and trying to be sort of some sort of comfort to the family.

And his wife goes in to check on live and he died. So he he took, he took my cue and checked out it's time it's time to go even though he wasn't to the advanced death stage. He led it he let go. And so this was a Jewish family, I found out and so so they had some of that old world blood in it in them so they were like doing the real wailing and gnashing of teeth. And so they were like, they are grieving loudly. It's like, wow, like it's something I'd never experienced before.

And so Continue to hang around so you can't go better stick around for this. And so I wait and I wait and wait. And so eventually the the rabbi shows up. I don't know what the rabbi is actually do they don't they do last blessings like priests or whatever. So he comes and shows up and it's still kind of just waiting around to give support and then the funeral home guy shows up and they had a gurney and they took the gurney and he had a split staircase that went up and down as you came in the front door. And so I believe lab was downstairs had kind of a switchback staircase, and so they couldn't get in on the gurney, because it could the gurney wouldn't switch back up and down.

You know, they couldn't get the gurney in and out. So I had to go down there with the guys who were from the funeral home and carry him out literally. Yeah, so I had to physically lift his body out and take him out to the man so I had to let him go not only spiritually but also Physically Yeah, so that was pretty intense. So I was really called in for a specific job I was called in to help someone let go because the family could do it for them. So, so that's probably that's been my most intense experience with that. Yeah.
