What client wanted to know?
Client lived in an orthodox and very strict environment .
She had lot of family responsibilities on her shoulders after marriage .Despite of being well educated and talented,she couldnot do anything for her own growth.She was never supported by the family.Her married life was affected badly as her husband didn’t like her inexpressible nature.she felt an extreme and constant fear of being judged.This fear further detoriated the quality of life leading her to feel frustrated and angry on her own self.Responsibilities became a burdon on her and she knew no way out.She suffered a lot struggling through all this.She said that many women handle the family issues and for them its a normal way of living but why was she affected so abnormally. It made her feel so suffocated and losing control on herself in the process . She was helplessly inexpressive. she was keen on knowing the actual reason and the root cause of this fear.

C:Its my lover Abhay
T:tell me something about how he looks like
C:He is tall,slim, has moustaches,
T:What is he wearing
C:Grey shirt and a black pant
‘T’: Look into his eyes
Do you find any resemblance with someone from this life?
‘C’: remains silent….
Don’t know….
T:Is he saying any thing to you?
C:He looks sad
T:Whyis he sad?
C:I am not expressive about my feelings,and I am not sharing with him ,how I feel
Perhaps he wants to listen to me more,perhaps I have conveyed to him something that has frustrated him as well.
T:How are you feeling
C:Not good,I think choosing him over my responsibility will be a very wrong decision.This will affect my image in the society .This will label me as a selfish woman who left her brother and sister after the death her parents . But I love him so deeply……
Silence…
And I feel miserable when I think so.I feel that I will lose my respect by doing so.I find getting him back impossible.I have to choose.oh….(tears coming out)…
I am so angry on myself being unable to decide…
T: oh…ok
Silence….
‘T’:How does he react when you convey this to him?
‘C’:He is extremely frustrated…as I am not giving him the exact reasons….
I don’t have courage to tell him that after having a beautiful relationship with him for so long ,I have to leave him for my good image in the society.Perhaps he is more frustrated than being sad….
T:what is happening now?
C:Nothing, he has left
T: how do you feel now?
C: I am deeply angry n feel suffocated with guilt, helplessness and frustration… n I also leave .
T:Now as I start counting from 3to 1 at 1 you will witness the last moment in that life .Your death.
T:3…2…AND 1
T:You are dead and you can see your body from above
T:Describe it to me.Tell me how you died in that life?
C:I died of a lung disease… somewhat related with breathing issues
T:At what age did you die?
C: Early 5o’s
T:who all where present around you?
C:Neighbours and my brother and sister
T:How are your brother and sister reacting?
C:They are sad…
T; look into their eyes
Do you know anyone from this life who are similar to them
C: Yes, my brother and my sister in law (FROM THE PRESENT LIFE)
They also feel that why didn’t I give importance to my life
T: what was your dying thought?
C:I did not value my life,my love.
Nothing stops.My brother and sister managed alone sowell even after I died.
I should have been expressive about my desires and dreams.
May be If I shared my feelings with them,they would support me and I would manage both my love and responsibility in a beautiful manner…pause
Why was I so unhappy with the resposibilty
I was so conciouss of my image in my society
I thought that If I follow my love for him .people will judge me as a selfish woman…
But love is love…so beautiful…
It is harmless
I suffocated myself in presenting myself as an ideal woman who sacrificed her life for the family
I should have opened up … .
I felt like a loser in the end
I should have listened to myself also
T: yes.
C: Yes,expressing our feelings makes people ,understand us better.
T: So what is that you have learned from that life?
HELP REACHES US ONLY WHEN WE KEEP OUR DOORS OPEN
I SHOULD HAVE TRUSTED MYSELF AND TRUSTED MY LOVE …
I SHOULD HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONFLICTS WITH MY LOVER AND MY BROTHER SISTER .
To love is to trust…
Love , trust and patience are so important for a balancing a life…
‘T’: yes ,love is a powerful emotion which guides us towards a meaningful and significant path of acceptance and heals us all .Only love is true .
‘C’: Yes,true…
Silence….
I wll be now counting from 3 to 1 and this time at 1 you will revisit that same event in that life from where this fear of being judged came up
And this time you will be visiting there with a great learning of trust in love and wisdom of patience .
So here we go 3…2…and 1
T: whats happening
C: We are there
T:who?
C: I am standing with my lover

C:He is my husband (From present life)
T: What is happening now?
C:He is smiling,holding my hand,looking into my eyes with so much love …
T:that’s lovely.is he saying anything?
C; I have told him openly about all my inhibitions,doubts and fear
I have told him to help me ,guide me
I have told him how this new responsibility is stopping me from loving hIm and my life… and how it is blocking my path from moving ahead
SILENCE
T:ok…now tell me how is he reacting to this?
