Mak holds Third Quantum Hypnosis Public Demo Session

Published

on

Some may call it unconventional others holistic/alternative. But what is Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy (QHHT)?  This alternative therapy uses the power of mind to heal the physical body.  In a deeply relaxed somnambulistic trance, the person allows the Conscious Mind to step aside for a while so as to gain access to the Higher Self/ Subconscious. The Higher Self brings forward appropriate times and places of incidents in the most elegant and graceful way, allowing all these different parts to merge together to afford wonderful insights, thereby aiding evolution in the present life.

Quantum Healing Hypnosis sessions are conducted at the Counseling and Guidance Centre, Makerere University by Mr. Louis Kakinda, a certified QHHT practitioner and  Assistant Lecturer in the College of Education and External Studies (CEES). Services offered include prayer and healing which lasts between 20 to 90 minutes and QHHT which lasts between 2 to 5 hours. Sessions are held on Wednesdays Thursdays and Fridays but bookings are essential.

The third Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy (QHHT) public demonstration session was held on Thursday 24th April 2014. The discussion was between angels and humans and topics for discussion were on the political situation in Uganda, spirituality and religious confusion, health and the nature of disease and humanity and its transition.

A young female volunteer was made to lie on a bed and was covered with a bed sheet. Mr. Kakinda then proceeded to hypnotize the volunteer into the subconscious state. Everyone in the room was asked to keep quiet and maintain silence in order to allow the volunteer to relax and for the angels to enter her subconscious. The volunteer was told to go to the temple of the presence and asked if she could see some angels. Mr. Kakinda then confirmed that six angels had appeared. These angels were Edwin, Jennifer, Juliet, Sam and two unnamed angels.

The audience was told that only one angel, Edwin could speak. Once confirmation had been received that Edwin had entered the volunteer’s subconscious, the floor was opened to the audience for questions. People started off with personal questions most of which were a chance to see a glimpse of the future. These questions ranged from health and career concerns to relationships, spirituality, and personal challenges. Some of the questions included “Will I get married?” “Why am I having constant headaches?” “Will my business prosper?” About three quarters of the session was spent on personal questions as the moderator kept trying to bring the discussion back to the day’s planned topics for discussion. The subconscious/angel seemed to have answers to most the questions. However a few questions were left unanswered.  Is this therapy the magic bullet humanity has been looking for?

If you had a chance to attend one of these sessions, what would you ask? What would you hope to hear? How would you feel about it if it wasn’t what you expected? Would you change your life to what the subconscious prescribes or just keep things going as usual?

There are a growing number of people in Uganda seeking alternative approaches. Alternative therapies such as QHHT are being used to treat everything from colds and headaches to hypertension and cancer. With studies showing that four out of five Ugandans seek care from traditional healers, what role do these alternative therapies play in conventional medicine? Is the gap between conventional medicine and alternative therapies widening or can these two co-exist?

Should you choose to seek help from an alternative therapist, it is important to tell your doctor and your alternative therapist of all the drugs and treatments you take. This is because alternative therapy treatments can sometimes interact with prescription drugs and cause side effects.

Directorate of Graduate Training Completes Training of First Cohort Training of Supervisors

Published

By Moses Lutaaya

The Directorate of Graduate Training (DGT) has in collaboration with Centre for Teaching and Learning completed the training of the first cohort of Graduate Supervisors.

Participants were academic staff from two colleges namely, College of Engineering, Art and Design (CEDAT) and the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES).

The three-day training that took place at the Telepresence Centre, Senate Building ended on Friday 20thJune 2025.

In his closing remarks to the participants, the Director of Graduate Training Prof. Julius Kikooma said, “This is the first cohort we are working together with the Center for Teaching and Learning to put together continuous professional development Program so that we are able to enforce the new teaching and learning policy.”

He said that before lecturers are allocated students for supervision, they must first go through this form of formal teaching and learning training to equip them thoroughly with certification required of supervision of graduate students.

“We are coming up with process to ensure that the certificates earned by participants allow you to supervise graduate students. This is the direction of the university and we must ensure that such trainings are concluded and completed successfully by all participants”, Prof. Kikooma.

Prof. Julius Kikooma – Director of Graduate Training

“We can only have you certified upon completing all the exercises in the training process. This is when you will be eligible to receive the work load for supervision”, He added.

“This training of Supervisors is going to be continuous so that all academic staff in colleges and schools are equipped. This first cohort is going to be our building block to the future trainings in the colleges.”

With such capacity building trainings, Prof. Kikooma said that the university is on the right path to achieving its targets in the new strategic plan of increasing the number of graduate students while progressively reducing the under graduate students.

He further hinted that, “We are in the process of writing a curriculum on this, which will be presented for approval before it is rolled out.”

He echoed all participants to share the knowledge they have acquired adding, “Share all you have learnt, do not keep it. Be open minded, have proper communication channels and the sky will be the limit for you.” 

Dr. Robinah N. Kulabako, The Head of Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at CEDAT welcomed the training adding, “This training is very pertinent. I have had the opportunity to supervise Masters and PhD students for over 15 years and I must say that the need to be subjected to this training cannot be over emphasized because there is need to learn, unlearn and relearn many aspects involved in the supervision process.”

She added, “We are moving towards knowledge-based supervision rather than experience-based supervision. This means we must be informed and equipped to be able to advise, guide and mentor to be able to lead a successful supervision journey for both supervisor and supervisee.”

Dr. Andrew Gilbert Were – a lecturer at CEDAT and a participant said, “It is important that all supervisors of graduate students receive this certification from Makerere University through a systematic training process that enables them to attain diverse skills to facilitate learning of graduate students from diverse cultures and with unique set of circumstances.”

“This training is long overdue. In fact, it was an oversight that we could be allowed to supervise students without undergoing supervisors’ training.”

Dr. Dorothy Ssebowa, The Director Centre for Teaching and Learning support- CEES said, “The training this time round has had a mix of early career professionals including Lecturers, Supervisors and Professors share experiences. We have learnt a lot more from experienced supervisors who have shared practices on how they have done supervision over the years.”

“The knowledge and experience-based approaches have made this collaboration very active, interactive and learner centered which has resulted into a collaborative learning from the interdisciplinarity of staff from CEDAT and CAES. The issue now is to continue with professional development across all levels.” She added.

The Makerere University Directorate of Graduate Training (DGT) in collaboration with the Centre for Teaching and Learning completed the training of the first cohort of Graduate Supervisors. This activity was supported by the iCARTA – Institutionalization of Advanced Research Training in Africa, a NORHED II Project at Makerere University.
