Client Introduction
George hails from a reputed family and is a financial analyst by profession. He is a successful individual with a stable career, living with his wife and two daughters. George is also an active “yoga practitioner and has recently joined the Toastmasters Club, where he actively works to improve his public speaking skills. Additionally, he is a half-marathon runner.
His interest in mind–body awareness grew through yoga and public speaking experiences. Recently, he became curious about Past Life Regression (PLR) after hearing about its potential to address subconscious blocks and emotional patterns. He wished to explore PLR as a tool to overcome his stuttering, fear of facing large audiences, and low self-esteem.
Four PLR sessions were planned and conducted on 16, 17, and 18 October 2025.
Session Summary – Day 1 (16 October 2025, 4:10 pm – 8:40 pm)
The stage 1,2 and 3 of the 15-stage process were conducted in a very precise and systematic manner. The client showed strong involvement and curiosity throughout the process, particularly regarding how the mind, psychology, and spirituality interconnect.
At the end of the session, George mentioned that he found the presentation impressive and insightful. He raised a few doubts regarding how the concepts could be effectively presented to the general public. During post-session discussion, he expressed great interest in the relationship between conscious, subconscious, and superconscious levels of the mind.
Contract and client assessment were completed according to protocol.
Stage Six: History Taking
- George grew up in a middle-class family where both parents were working. His father served in the army and maintained strict discipline, while his mother, a teacher, was emotionally distant and critical. His father’s frequent absence and his mother’s rigidity created emotional isolation during childhood. The only nurturing figure was his grandmother, with whom he felt safe and supported. Conflicts between his mother and sister caused further household tension.
- Childhood Experiences
- George described his childhood as emotionally difficult, marked by feelings of neglect and fear of self-expression. A significant incident occurred during a Bible reading at church when he stammered over words . The humiliation deeply affected him, stage fear that continued into adulthood.
- He also recalled strict parental control, limited friendships, and withdrawal from social activities. At age nine, he suffered a major accident causing head and arm injuries, which reinforced feelings of helplessness and vulnerability.
- Educational and Social History
- Academically, George was disciplined and intelligent, pursuing Accountancy with determination. However, he often performed below his potential due to anxiety and self-doubt. Teachers’ high expectations and harsh criticism further lowered his confidence. Throughout college, he remained quiet and socially withdrawn. Gaining independence during his later studies helped him rebuild some confidence, though earlier emotional scars persisted.
- Adult Life and Relationships
- In adulthood, George described himself as responsible and focused but emotionally reserved. He experienced a few failed romantic relationships, which he attributes to overthinking and emotional immaturity. His marriage is currently stable and supportive, though he tends to avoid confrontation during conflicts. Past business losses created financial caution and distrust in friendships. He remains self-reliant and prefers emotional control in relationships.
- Personality and Emotional Patterns
- George is analytical, disciplined, and perfectionistic. He tends to over-prepare and anticipate problems. Under stress, he withdraws or avoids emotional expression. He continues to experience low self-esteem, fear of judgment, and speech difficulty in public settings. Despite earlier rigidity, he has recently become more open-minded and emotionally expressive. His guiding values include truth, loyalty, self-respect, and ethics.
- Current Concerns
- George continues to struggle with public speaking, stage fear, and anxiety in social settings. He experiences occasional insomnia during stressful periods and admits to overthinking and stubbornness. Though much improved, he still carries subconscious beliefs about being perceived as “less successful” by others.
- Coping and Lifestyle
- He manages stress through exercise, running, and meditation. He has controlled intake of alcohol, coffee, and tea, and practices yoga and spiritual reflection. Though a Christian, he follows a personal spiritual path. He uses logic and reasoning as his main coping mechanisms and occasionally relies on humor or avoidance to manage emotional discomfort. He enjoys spending time with family, playing badminton, and participating in marathons.

Happy Memories
He experienced many moments that made him happy.
He had a clear vision of the memories, especially when he spent time together with his family. Most of his memories were around the age of 5 to 9. When asked to go before that, he experienced a beautiful memory where he was lying in the cradle, and his mother was taking care of him, while he saw his sister wearing a white dress. He felt the swing of the cradle. He later told me that it was a realization time for him that his mother really cared for him, because now he analyzed her love towards him with the situation and the things she had done. That was clarification that his mother cared for him.
He could also remember an incident when he was one and a half years old. He was on his auntie’s lap, seeing his mother coming — he was very happy and trying to jump towards her, but he couldn’t see his face. Still, he felt happy inside. He had a new experience too, but it was not a happy memory. He felt like his mother had some tensions while she was walking, and he felt the same tension.During that time his face became tensed and I asked him to float above the scene .
He later told me that he had palpitations when he thought about his mother’s anxious walk. I felt he was strained. I asked him to move towards the garden and visualise a person or a higher self or someone who could be with him for some time, who would save and help him feel happy. After emerging from the session, he mentioned he saw a saint in white robe, with a white beard and bald head. The saint was very happy to see him. George asked him hi s doubt but he didn’t answer — he just gave a smile, and that smile gave him peace of mind.
The client also mentioned that he was surprised to see a smaller version of himself, a boy during that time, and that the divine person was holding his hand. The client reported that he was happy — he was very happy seeing such a scene.
Session 3 – October 18
Time: 10:30 am to 2:15 pm
We had a small discussion of the previous day’s experience, and the client reported that he had a good night’s sleep afterward, with no worries. He also mentioned that he was feeling much calmer, explained about the procedures we were going to do today — starting with the Dave Elman ,progressive relaxation, visualisation and reframing.
After reframing, he said In the beginning he struggled a bit because of the difficulty in finding the memories that he wanted to let go off.

Integration
We discussed about the session in which the client mentioned that the happy memories gave him clarity about his mother’s love towards him, and he felt very happy about that realization. He had never felt his mother’s bond or connection before. He also saw his mother feeling sad and staying alone during closure. That made him sad, and he wanted to have peace with her.
He also realized that the altar event was the main cause of his fear of facing a large crowd. He also mentioned that the second incident he had seen — being mocked by a boy in school — made him feel very low. That boy passed away and his passing away news did not affect him at all. During closurehe made peace with him and now feeling light.
He also mentioned that after mocking his cousin ,his stammering issues had started.
We discussed the way forward. He wanted to regularize his meditation and relaxation. He was avoiding joining a new group of Toast Masters, but after the discussion, he was thinking of joining the group again.The divine presence of the saint during the closure in the boat and in the garden twice made him feel happy and safe.He also mentioned that during many incidents he felt the protection and presence of the divine.Pain level had come down to 2.
Follow-up
After a week, follow-up had been done, and the client mentioned that his pain level had come down to 1… He had gone to theToast Master meeting and had given a flawless talk there, and he was very happy. It seems he is trying to became more regular in his Sadhana, and he also mentioned feeling peaceful and calm.
