I just stumbled across Dolores Cannon and her books & videos & info in the last few weeks. She's a hypnotherapist who's been doing past life regressions for the last 40 years! And my or my, what a wealth of information she's managed to collect. :)
Her technique is to (after view a life or several lives) pull in the higher-self, the soul self, the over soul, the super-conscious. She just called it the "sub-conscious" because at the time she first started doing this she didn't know what to call it.
The video link is about 47 minutes and she talks about all kinds of things, including the vibration shift and the split that will occur and how to eat to maintain that higher vib. More reasons to ramp up your vibration as high as possible this year. :) Enjoy!
