Vitals: Mira [Name changed], F, 63YO, H: 4/10, Eye: 1/4 VAK: 7/4/4
Theme: Financial Problems. (Why things are not working out. Why does the work stop mid-way?)
History:
Mira comes from a large and happy family, which includes her grandfather, parents, and three siblings. She is the youngest and the most beloved, and she shared a deep bond with her grandfather and older brother. Her life has been quite good, happy, and simple, filled with a loving family. She has been married for 41 years and has a son and a daughter, both of whom are married. She is also a grandmother and manages the household.
Her married life has also been joyful. Initially, she lived in a joint family, but now she is financially quite well off and lives in a big house with her nuclear family. She loves to travel and has hobbies such as music, painting, sewing, and embroidery.
However, for the past 12 years, their financial situation has not been very good. Her husband is a businessman. Although they own some properties, things have not been going well with the business. Whenever something seems to be about to happen, it ultimately does not. This causes her husband stress, and he is unable to travel with her. He often cancels plans, which is why Mira frequently travels alone with other family members.
Overall, Miraās life is filled with happiness, but there are also challenges that affect her financial stability and personal life.
Session 1
Began the session with a prayer to the Gods & Masters
Induction - Dave Elman, Progressive Relaxation
Visualization - Light, Staircase, Garden
Note: Mira was quite Visual along with being Kinesthetic. So I treated her as both and gave suggestions accordingly.
T: This is what the therapist said.
C: This is what the client said.
When we reached the garden, Mira could see the garden and relax in the garden.

C: IMR
T: Now let us go back even earlier, to a younger age, as an infant or a toddler or a small child and pick out another memory.
When I count from 3 to 1, pick out another happy memory from your childhoodā¦

C: Heartbeats (Dhak dhak sa ho raha hai)
T: You can hear heartbeats?
C: I can feel the heartbeats.

Can you feel anything?
C: Iām imagining baby being attached to itās mother.
T: Now you may imagine this cord being cut, and as you imagine that or feel that, remind yourself, remind this little child to breathe for herself. Remind this child that she has separate identity, choices, wants, dreams and is free to live her life the way she wants.
LBL
T: Maybe now you can go even back in time when you werenāt in this bodyā¦before you entered this body.

Take deep, long breaths. Relax your forehead, neck and shoulders. You are safe.
EMDR. Your mind is very powerful. It remembers everything and will show you.
C: I canāt remember anything.
T: Itās okay. Sometimes it takes time. Itās fine if something is felt, and itās also fine if nothing is felt.
Now when I count from 3 to 1, youāll find a narrow road near the garden.
C: IMR
T: You can start walking on this road. Itās safe to walk on this road. Road is filled with plants, trees and flowers on either sides. Feel the breeze. Just keep walking on this road, and itāll take you to a railway station.
C: IMR
T: Youāll find a train right in front of you.
C: IMR
T: Very good. Now, you may enter this train and comfortably sit in the train.
C: IMR
T: Now this train will pass through a tunnel. This tunnel will take you deeper into your subconscious. The train is moving, faster, and faster, and deeper, and deeper. You are safe here. This train will take you to your destination. It will take you to that memory which is important for you, which is necessary for you.

C: IMR to explore further
T: Now, you may sit back in that train.
C: IMR
T: Now you can sit back in this train and relax. This train will take you to another station. The train doors have closed now. As it passes through a tunnel, this train will take you to a memory, a memory where you first felt fear. This train keeps moving, deeper and faster, and faster. We are about to arrive. 3ā¦ 2ā¦ 1ā¦ we have arrived.
The train has stopped at the station, and you can get off the train. You can take as much time as you want. You can tell me if you have felt, seen, or heard something.
C: No. There is no feeling of fear.
T: Letās sit back in this train again. And now, as I count from 3 to 1, this train will take you to that memory which is important for you to know.

T: What comes to your awareness? Do you feel or see something?
C: No. Nothing is visible. Iām trying to see, but nothing is visible.
T: Donāt try too hard. It will come to you on its own. Just relax. There is no need to put pressure on your mind. To easily remember something, you donāt need to exert too much effort. You can simply ask your subconscious what the answers to your questions are, and let it come to your mind without any effort.
When I count from 3 to 1, you will be able to go to that moment which is essential for you to rememberā¦3, 2, 1.
Do you feel anything?
C: No
IMR to return back to the garden
T: You may sit back comfortably in the same train. The temperature of the train is very comfortable, just the way you like it. And as I count from 1 to 3, this train will take you back towards the garden and drop you off at the train station. Sit tight.
1, the train is moving, moving fast.
2, and faster and fasterā¦
3, you can get off at the station and walk towards the garden.
(after sometime) Have you arrived at the garden?
C: IMR (Yes)
T: Now you can sit on the bench and relax, and continue to heal.
This garden is filled with divine energy that protects and heals you. Here, you are safe.
Asked Mira if she wanted to explore further, or wanted to be brought back.
Brought her back to the garden and back to normal state.
Mira was very happy on waking up, on reliving the past happy memories.
Session 2
We started the session by discussing how she felt when the difficulties and financial situations arose. Since her past was good, I tried to explore her feelings more. She mentioned that she feels bad for a moment, but then it gets better.
Began the session with a prayer to the Gods & Masters
Induction - Dave Elman, Progressive Relaxation

C: I am feeling good.
T: Let me know when youāre ready to proceed further.
C: IMR to proceed further
T: Now when I count from 3 to 1, go back to a significant memory from this lifetime, when you experienced sadness.
C: When the boy fell from above, I was very sad thinking that he might have died. Itās good, nothing happened to him (During school days, a boy fell from 1st floor of the school).
T: How old were you?
C: 8-9 Years
T: When I count from 3 to 1, letās go to the another significant memory of this life when you felt sad.
C: Once I felt very bad when I had a piggy bank for the kids. It was filled with a lot of money. And my cupboard used to be open; I never locked it. I donāt know when someone took money from it, a lot of money was taken. It was saved by the kids. I felt very bad that how could someone take childrenās money. Someone had taken money from it. At that time, we were in a joint family. This was back then.
T: How young would your children be?
C: They were 6 and 9 years old.
T: Do you want to say something else? (I was about to proceed when I felt she wanted to say more)
C: Yes. Whatever money the kids received was kept with me in my cupboard. I had a big piggy bank where I used to put it. And it was completely full. So when someone took it out, I felt very sad. How could someone take the money saved by the children?
T: I understand. Little by little, the childrenās money was collected, and someone took it away, which made you very sad.
Intensified this emotion to catapult her into the past, via a tunnel of light
What comes to your awareness?
C: No
T: Did you enter the tunnel?
C: Yes
T: You need to keep walking in the tunnel. It will take you deeper. As I count from 5 to 1, you will emerge on the other side of the tunnel. 5, 4, 3, you are about to arriveā¦ 2, 1. At the end of the tunnel, you will find a door. You need to open this door and go through it. Beyond this door, it will take you back to the past where you felt this same emotion, you felt this sadness.
(After sometime) Did you find the door?
C: Yes
T: Have you come to the other side of the door?
C: Yes
T: What are you feeling, or seeing, or hearing?
C: I can see the light and Iām feeling relaxed.
T: Lovely.
Beyond the light, it will take you to the past. And it will show you everything clearly. Whatever is important for you to see, whatever is important for you to know. As I count down from 3 to 1, it will take you beyond the light. 3, 2, 1ā¦
(After sometime) What comes to your awareness?
C: Nothing
T: Are you in that same light?
C: No. Iām trying, but I canāt see anything.
T: Donāt try too hard; you will see it on your own. Your subconscious will show you. Just focus on my voice. Take long, deep breaths. Look to the right, look to the left, look up, and look down. Take long, deep breaths. Relax your neck, shoulder, and body.
When I count from 5 to 1, allow yourself to go back to your past lifetime when you felt that same pain 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Do you feel anything?
C: No.
T: Now, when I count from 5 to 1, there will be a bridge in front of you. You can choose to walk on this bridge, which is made from the pain you felt when your childrenās money was stolen. The money you saved slowly. The pain you felt when that little child fell from the first floor.
5, 4 this bridge will take you back to that past life, to that moment in your life when you felt this kind of pain.
3, youāre almost there. 2, 1ā¦
C: I was very anxious because of the childās fall. I even got a fever.
T: You are safe. Take long, deep breaths. This is just an old memory. That child is perfectly fine now. And you are also fine. Relax your forehead, neck and shoulders. Take long, deep breaths. You are safe in that divine light. Allow this light to bring healing all the way from your head to your toes. (After this the client was visibly relaxed)
What else do you feel or see?
C: My grandfather is blessing me from afar.
T: Very nice.
You can talk to him if you want and ask him any questions. He will answer all your questions and guide you.
C: Heās just happy to see me, thatās all.
T: How do you feel seeing your grandfather?
C: It feels good.
T: Your grandfather is always with you. His blessings will always be with you. And in every difficulty and challenge, he will support you.
T: Where do you feel you are?
C: I donāt understand.
T: Are you in the garden?
C: No reply
T: When I count from 1 to 3, you will be able to come to the garden and relax. 1, 2, 3ā¦
Have you come back to the garden?
C: Yes
T: You can sit on the bench there and relax. You are safe here. This garden is filled with divine light, which keeps you safe.
You can let me know whenever you are ready to move forward.
C: IMR to move forward.
T: As soon as you step out of the garden, you will find a river. And there is a boat there as well.
Are you able to find that boat?
C: IMR (Yes)
T: Now, you can sit in that boat. You can choose that this boat takes you to a lifetime where you experienced financial problems. You can dive deep into your mind, beyond space and time. This boat will take you to that lifetime where you experienced similar financial problems. As I count down from 5 to 1, you will reach the other side where you will find answers to all your questions. Where the roots of this financial problem lies. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1ā¦
What comes to your awareness?
C: The project we were about to undertake had some law changes, which caused the financial problem.
T: Okay. Did you reach the other side of the river with the boat?
C: Hmm
T: When I count from 5 to 1, it will take you to that time, that moment, that life where the root of this financial problem lies, where it all began. It will take you to your past, to a past lifetime where you experienced similar financial issues. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
C: I donāt understand.
T: Letās not worry about it. As I count from 1 to 3, you can come back to that garden where you can relax. 1, 2, 3
You can sit on a bench in this garden and relax again. You can heal yourself with this divine light. You are safe here.
Are you in the garden?
C: IMR (yes)
T: Very good.
(After some time) Now, near the garden, you will find a narrow road.
Did you find this road?
C: IMR (Yes)
T: Very good. Start walking on this road. This road is filled with trees and flowers on both sides. Feel the gentle breeze. Keep walking on this road. And as you reach the end of the road, you will find an ancient temple.
Do you see the temple, or can you feel it?
C: I see the temple.
T: Very good. You are standing at the bottom of the temple stairs. Now, as you begin to climb the stairs, take your time and feel each step beneath your feet.
You reach the top of the temple steps.
As you reach the top, you find yourself standing in a large corridor with many doors. There is a large, magnificent door right in front of you.
T: Can you feel this door?
C: IMR (Yes)
T: Very good. Now open this door, and trust whatever you feel, see, or hear.
C: There is an idol of God, and the bells are ringing.
T: Lovely. Which deityās idol is it?
C: I donāt know. It is our Jain deity.
T: You can take blessings. And please offer my pranam as well. You can ask any questions if you want, and trust whatever answer you receive.
What are you feeling, or what do you see, or hear?
C: Feeling good, experiencing peace. Iām praying to the God.
T: Very nice. Take as much time as you want, and you can feel this sense of peace. And whenever you are ready to move forward, you can let me know.
C: IMR
T: Now look around you, all around. And in this hall, you will find many doors.
Did you find the doors?
C: IMR (Yes)
T: Very good. And now, from these doors, choose any door of your choice, where you will find the answers to your questions. Choose the door that reveals where the problem of wealth began.
Select the door that holds all the answers you are looking for. Whatever it is you are searching for, choose that door.
C: I canāt find anything
T: Itās ok if you canāt find anything. Let me know if youāre able to enter the door. Take your time
C: Went inside
T: Okay. Stay in this room for a while, and everything that is important for you and youāre ready to see might be available inside this door. This could take you to your past lifetime, where you felt this wealth issue. As I count from 3 to 1, you can choose to see all that you are ready to learn from. 3, 2, 1.
You will be able to feel everything and see everything that is necessary for you.
Do you feel, see or hear anything?
C: I donāt understand.
T: Sometimes it takes time for things to become clear. Stay there for a while, and everything will come in front of you. Donāt worry about whether itās imagination or reality. Trust what you feel, and whatever you see, trust that too.
Are you experiencing anything?
C: I can only see clouds and space.
T: As I count from 3 to 1, this can take you beyond the clouds, beyond time and space, where you can feel all that is necessary, and see whatever you need to know.
What comes to your awareness?
C: The picture is not clear.
T: No worries, when I count from 1 to 3, you can come out of the room. 1, 2, 3. You can come back to the center of the temple again.
Are you in the center of the temple?
C: Yes
T: Now you may choose a door where you may find the answers to your financial problems and to the blocks in your work where you spoke about your work remaining incomplete.
As I count from 3 to 1, choose the door that is important for you.
Did you go inside the door?
C: Hmm
T: Very good. You may take as long as you like and let me know when youāre ready to move ahead.
What comes to your awareness?
C: Nothing
T: Itās okay. Itās fine if you find something, and itās also fine if you donāt find anything. Just feel this emotion. What are you feeling? How do you feel in this room?
C: It feels good.
T: Very good. In this room, you may find another door.
Did you find the door?
C: Yes
T: Very good. This door will lead through a tunnel. Inside the door, there is a tunnel filled with divine energy. As I count from 5 to 1, this tunnel will take you to the other side. To that life, to that existence, to that past where you faced similar problems. Where you faced financial issues. This will take you to that life. 5, 4, keep moving, deeper and deeper, 3, 2, here there is neither time nor space, 1, at the end of the tunnel, you will see another door. You need to open this door and go through it.
(Could hear her snoring)
Did you find the door at the end of the tunnel?
C: Hmm
T: Now open the door
C: Hmm.
T: Very good. What are you feeling, or what do you see? Please tell me.
C: It is changing. Sometimes it looks like water, and now it looks dark. It keeps changing repeatedly.
T: Okay. Are you able to feel yourself?
C: Yes
T: Look at your feet. What is coming to your awareness?
C: Construction is happening. A building is being built. (I did not realise that she went into the future here. I thought this was some past memory. Her husband is a builder & developer)
T: Okay. What else is happening?
C: All the wooden beams are in place. The construction of the new building is underway. People are working, each focused on their tasks. Everyone is engaged in the construction.
T: Take long, deep breaths. Relax your forehead, neck and shoulders. We are only looking at a past memory. You are safe. Look at your feet. What do you feel, or what do you see?
C: There is a big house. Everyone is sitting there peacefully. Everyone is sitting comfortably.
T: Whose house is this?
C: Itās my house.
T: And where are you at this moment?
C: I donāt know, Iām just looking. I canāt see myself in it.
T: Now you can go inside the house and see who all are there.
C: Son is sitting and reading a newspaper. Both kids (grandkids) are sitting with husband in the prayer room. Daughter-in-law and I are making something in the kitchen, food. (Here, when she mentioned people from her current life, I realised that maybe she went into the future)
T: Okay. Are you able to recognize this house?
C: This is a new house.
T: Very nice. (It eventually sunk in that she went into future.)
T: Which year is this?
C: Itās new, the house is new, it will be the very first year.
T: No, in which year are you? What year are you in?
C: No, I donāt know.
T: Itās okay. Now, when I count from 3 to 1,
go to some other significant moment from this lifetime. 3, 2, 1.
You can take as much time as you want and tell me what youāre feeling. What do you see?
C: Wearing sports shoes and walking, running in a garden. I mean jogging.
T: Who else is there with you?
C: My husband.
T: And how are you feeling?
C: Iām feeling good.
T: Which garden is this?
C: Thereās a garden on the back road.
T: Very nice.
C: The kids are also playing there only.
T: Very good.
Now when I count from 3 to 1, go to an important memory from this timeline.
You can take as much time as you want and tell me how you feel or what you see. 3, 2, 1. (Could hear the client snore)
Are you feeling or seeing something?
C: We are travelling somewhere. There are big rock formations over there.
T: Where are you? Who is with you?
(after a while) Do you feel what year it is?
And how are you feeling?
C: Iām feeling good.
T: Very good.
C: It feels like we are sitting in a car, and we can see all the scenery along the way. There is greenery all around.
T: Whoās with you in the car?
C: Donāt know.
T: You can enjoy this scenery.
When I count from 3 to 1, it will take you 5 years ahead, 3, 2, 1.
T: What are you feeling or seeing right now?
C: Nothing is visible.
T: Itās okay. Now, when I count from 1 to 5, you will enter that room through the tunnel.
1, step into the tunnel from the door.
2, feel the beautiful energy that fills the tunnel.
3, 4, 5, pass through the door and enter the room of the temple.
Do you feel or see anything in this room?
C: I have come back to the outside part of the temple.
T: Okay. Where you saw God?
C: Yes, in the outside part of it.
T: Very good. Very good.
And now, in the place where you stand, you may see some masters. You can ask them any questions you like. The answers may come through feelings, emotions, or words. Whatever way you receive the answer, trust it.
Can you feel the masters presence or see them?
C: No
T: Are you seeing the idol of God over there?
C: Iām outside the temple.
T: Youāre outside the temple. Itās okay. Now, as I count from 1 to 3, you can walk back along that path to the garden where you can relax. 1, 2, 3.
Have you returned to the garden?
C: Hmm
T: Very good. Now you can sit on the bench there and relax, taking as much time as you want. When youāre ready, you can let me know. This place is filled with beautiful energy, and you are safe here. Your body is resting, rejuvenating, and filled with light, completely relaxed and calm, and peaceful (she slept. Was snoring).
After sometime, I asked if she wanted to come back and she said yes. Then I emerged her and then she happily dozed off and I didnāt wake her.
Session 3 (Next Day)
We began the session by discussing our last session. She mentioned that she slept well, as she always does. I asked her about her experience and if she remembered it, and she did. She recalled the deity she saw in the temple and shared that they have a pilgrimage site called Mehsana Tirth, where there is a very large idol of the deity. This is the deity she saw.
She then asked me why we need to explore negative memories and emotions, and I explained the reasons behind it. She had a beautiful perspective on this; she said, āI feel that whatever negative aspects were there in life, we shouldnāt repeat them. They are in the past now.ā What a wonderful way to lead life! If everyone follows this approach, they would lead such a happy life.
She wanted to try FLP today, and I thought to give another try going into the past and then proceed with FLP like she wanted.
Began the session with a prayer to the Gods & Masters
Induction - Dave Elman, Progressive Relaxation
Visualization - Light, Staircase, Garden
We tried going to the past via a train through a tunnel of light. However, after getting off the train, she saw a path that led her back to the garden. She found the garden relaxing.
She kept dozing off throughout this session.
After that, I attempted FLP through the glass pyramid meditation. All Mira could see was that she was traveling and then saw Lord Bahubali. She felt good seeing him. After that I brought her back and emerged her.
Mira was happy with the sessions we had. Sheās open to taking more sessions in future to try going to the past.
