“She is simple yet smart, humble and deeply spiritual. A natural hostess, she makes everyone feel welcomed and valued, turning ordinary moments into memorable experiences. And through all this her smile remains constant, a gentle reminder of her warmth and kindness. It was a pleasure to have her as a client.
For over more than twenty years, she has been practicing meditation, a quiet ritual that has been her refuge through life’s trials. In stillness, she found strength to face loss, loneliness, and the burdens that weighed on her heart. Today, her body carries its own struggles. Arthritis stiffens her joints, diabetes challenges her daily routine, and other health issues remind her of life’s fragility. Yet, despite these physical trials, meditation remains her anchor. It gives her the calm to endure, the clarity to navigate each day, and the resilience to keep moving forward.”

History as told by the client (some details have been edited to protect privacy)
“She was the only child… born into a middle-class family in a small town in Assam. From the very beginning, her life was framed by expectations, not her own, but those placed upon her by others. In family gatherings, she was often compared with cousins and other children. Their achievements became the standard. Her talents were overlooked, her efforts quietly dismissed.
Despite being a gifted singer, with a voice that could stir emotion… despite her creativity and world class cooking skills, she was too often reduced to a single label: a small-town girl.
At home, her mother too carried silent struggles. Dominated by the authority of in-laws, her voice remained unheard, her choices overshadowed. This pattern of suppression passed down from mother to daughter, creating an environment where confidence could not fully bloom. And so, the girl grew up learning to doubt herself, even as her abilities spoke louder than words.
She was a young woman, carrying dreams like any other, entered an arranged marriage with hope, but also with hesitation. The start was wobbly, uncertain. Her husband, kind, understanding yet distant, spent most of his time away, working to shoulder his family’s financial burdens. His absence left her in a world that felt both new and isolating. After marriage in her rented home in Delhi, another struggle unfolded. With her landlady, misunderstandings turned into conflict. She longed to speak up, to defend herself, but language became her greatest barrier. Surrounded by words she could not shape with confidence, she found herself shrinking in conversations, her silence misread as weakness. Slowly, the weight of unspoken words began to sit heavy on her heart, leaving a feeling of suffocation. Each confrontation left her smaller, her emotions suppressed, her dignity quietly bruised.
She carried the loneliness of an absent partner, the judgment of society, the quiet dominance of others and in-laws in her life. On the outside, she lived dutifully, silently, doing what was expected. With little money in hand, she learned to silence her most basic needs. Many nights she starved, not because food was not present but because she chose to suppress her own hunger so that the burden of her household would not grow heavier. This was her reality, to live mostly alone after marriage, to suppress her needs, starve her body and spirit. But within, she was a woman learning how much pain a quiet heart can hold.
After years of uncertainty, her marriage slowly began to find steadier ground. By 2009, life seemed to soften. There was more understanding, more financial stability, and the beginnings of companionship she had long hoped for. But then came the heartbreak of a miscarriage. In a world where she had only just started to feel secure, this loss shook her to the core. Her body ached with grief, her spirit felt hollow, and yet the world around her continued as if nothing happened. There were no words that could ease the emptiness, no arms there to hold her through the silence of that pain in a cold hospital room on that unfortunate night. Though her marriage had begun to heal, in this struggle she felt unseen, emotionally alone in the very moment she most longed for comfort.
Later on, she tried IVF, holding on to hope with every treatment, every procedure, every prayer, But each attempt ended in disappointment, leaving her with the weight of silence where she longed to hear a child’s laughter.
Determined not to let hope die, she opened her heart to adoption. A baby boy entered her life, fragile yet precious. But he came with struggles of his own—malnourished, frail, and burdened with health issues that demanded more strength than she sometimes believed she had. She gave everything she could, pouring into him all the love she had long held back.
And then the world was struck by the pandemic. In the fear and uncertainty of Covid, her son fell sick. She watched helplessly as his small body battled an illness far greater than him. In 2021, he slipped away, leaving her arms empty once again.
That loss became the final straw. The dreams she had chased, the struggles she had endured, the quiet sacrifices she had made, all came crashing down into a grief too deep for words. She had carried hunger, loneliness, loss, and silence for years, but nothing compared to the hollow ache of losing the child she had fought so hard to call her own.”
“The meditation practice did not erase her sorrow, nor did it undo the losses she had endured. But it gave her strength to bear them, a calmness to hold steady when life felt unbearable. Meditation became her companion, her sanctuary, her way of healing. It is through this practice that she has slowly rebuilt herself, not by forgetting, but by transforming her grief into resilience. In silence, she discovered solace. In stillness, she discovered strength. And in meditation, she found a way to keep living, even after everything she had lost. She found more clarity after visiting Banaras last year.”
So her question was-
“How long must I endure this pain? Each day my body reminds me of its limits, aches, stiffness, the sharp reminders of arthritis, the fluctuations of diabetes, the weight of other ailments. Pain has become a constant companion, uninvited yet inescapable. when will I feel even a fraction of ease in the life I continue to carry forward?”
Session 2
August 21st (11.00AM-2.00PM)
Stages 7-11
Theme “Arthritis Pain”
We discussed and decided to go with the “Arthritis pain” theme. I played the bell video and gently suggested her to relax, followed the check list to make sure that she is comfortable, AC temperature is okay and she feels relaxed. We offered a small prayer to the Divine Masters, seeking blessings and guidance, then started with Dave Elman, followed by Progressive relaxation, ball of light, staircase and in to the garden, gently guided her to the nearby river (with a very small walk), and at the shore she met her son & father, followed by childhood (only happy) memories.
She emerged relaxed, emotional yet calm.
Session 3
Stages 10-13
August 21st (4.00PM-6.30PM)
We started the session after a light lunch break.
Prayer to the Divine Masters, Dave Elman, Progressive relaxation, ball of light, staircase into the garden, followed by reframing on the cliff (instead of cliff she did in the small river by the garden, a very small walk) for all the past painful and traumatic events of her life up to the womb ( no trauma there) and future worries.
After this an affect bridge was made out of her Arthritis pain and she was gently instructed to go back in the time to find out the root cause of this pain……
This is What the Therapist said -T
This is what Client said- C
T- What comes to your awareness…..can you hear anything?
After a pause-
C- I see a light….blue light….
T- Very good…..do you want to go to that light?
C- Yes…..I feel attracted to that light….I want to go close…..
T- Sure…..please go…..I am right here for you…..
(after a pause she started smiling, a big smile on her face….)
T- Do you see anyone you know?
C- After a pause…..yes…..it’s Shiv Ji….I want to stay here with him….
T- Yes please stay here with him for as long as you wish to
(10-12 mins passed, she is still in that blissful moment….smiling…getting emotional….)
(Suddenly her face changed and she looked anxious)
C- He said go back……
T- Who’s is asking you to go back?
C- Shiv Ji….he is telling me to go back….saying it’s not time yet
T- Time for what?
C- I don’t know ….he wants me to go back….he doesn’t want me here….
(I could feel disappointment in her tone)
T- Take a few deep breaths…..try to relax your forehead….you are fine here….you are safe….
C-He told me to go back……
(she kept on repeating that with a sadness in her voice)
C-He is gone now…shiv Ji is gone…..
(she seemed sad and almost about to cry, I gently instructed her to go back to the garden)
T- Would you like to go back to the garden? May be relax there a bit?
C- Sure….I will go to the garden
( she is back at the garden, relaxing)
T- You can relax in this garden…it’s your safe place…you can stay here for as long as you want to and when you are ready to move you can let me know….
(Pause for 4-5 mins then she let me know using IMR that she is ready to move on)
T- At the count of 3 to 1, you may go back to that time when you started feeling this pain….
3….2…1…
T- Where are you now?
(After a pause)
C- I am in the snow….it’s too cold here…..
(A pause….)
(sobbing slowly)
C-I don’t like it here…..….I am feeling so cold….someone pushed me….I cant get out of the snow….I feel helpless….I am so cold…I cant handle this…. I feel stuck….
(She started to cry and shiver, I asked her to take a few deep breaths and gave her a blanket to comfort her but she kept on shivering and crying badly….)
T- Please try to take a few deep breaths, you are fine…….it already happened in the past…..you don’t have to feel the pain….you can try to rise above the scene….
T- You can leave that pain behind….no need to carryover that pain in your current life…
( I tried for a couple of mins with gentle instruction to get her breathing back to normal, suggested her to disassociate from the scene and gently instructed that she can rise above and she doesn’t have to be in this pain. …but she was not getting better…she was shivering constantly and getting out of breath and then she stared to almost choke and gasped for air, I felt she was going to fall of the recliner, so I quickly instructed her to go back to the garden)
T- On the count of 3 to 1 please try to go back to the garden….back to your safe place….
(luckily she went back to the garden and her breathing started to get back to normal…she was still feeling a bit cold but comfortable)
T- How you feeling now?..you can relax here for a while.
After a pause
C-I feel lil better now….
(Long pause)
C- I see masters here….I am sitting under a tree and masters are here….I am talking to them
T- Very good, please stay with the masters and offer my regards too!
C- Yes….
(smiling)
C- They have few messages for you too…..
T- Thank you…that’s so kind
(later on, after the session, she shared the message, which Masters had for me, and I am beyond grateful for their blessings and guidance)
(she was still there in the garden with the Masters, soaking in the bliss, I let her stay there for a while as she looked happy and content)
T- Are you still with the Masters?
C- Yes…..I am talking to them…..
T- Very good, stay here….
(after 5-7 mins she suddenly and abruptly opened her eyes,( I was kind of shocked and a bit worried inside (didn’t express it obviously, but this was my first session as a Therapist and I am also learning ) , I asked her gently what happened, and she started crying and saying Masters kicked her out of the garden and they said there are more sufferings for her, I tried to console her but she was visibly upset, I asked her to take a few deep, long breathes, offered her water and told her that ‘I am here for you and I care deeply’, hugged her and asked how can I help? She said she needed a break to process everything so I left her alone in the room for 10-15 mins and then went back to check on her. She seemed a bit better and thanked me for everything. But she felt severe pain in her legs and making even the smallest movement was very difficult. This discomfort was so severe that she was unable to walk or stand, each attempt to shift her position only worsened the pain. I decided to take her back into the time where she was stuck in the snow so she could revisit and disassociate herself from the pain. The intention was to help her release the deep-seated memories and emotions associated with it, thereby bringing relief to the discomfort she was expecting in her legs.
Session 4
August 21st (7.15pm-9.30pm)
Stages- 10-15
We started this session after a small break.
Prayers to the Divine Masters, Dave Elman, Progressive relaxation, ball of light, staircase and in to the garden….
T- At the count of 3 to 1 allow yourself to go back to the time where you were stuck in the snow
After a pause
C-I am there….I am still stuck in the snow…..I feel cold….its unbearable….I don’t want this…
(her breathing started to get fast)
T- It’s alright…it already happened in the past…you don’t have to feel that pain anymore…please try to rise above your body and observe, you don’t have to feel that pain anymore….it already happened in the past….
(luckily, she was able to float above the scene)
C- I can see myself stuck in the snow…..
(she was dead already)
T- Try to rise above and leave that pain behind, you don’t need to carry that pain with you into your current life, it already happened in the past, you don’t feel that pain anymore
C-Okay…..
(observing…)
T- How do you feel ? do you get any message from this life?
(after a pause)
C-Pain is life….there is no escape….
(pause again for a while)
T- Are you still there?
C- Yes….I want to go back to the garden….I am tired….I don’t want to stay here…..
T- Yeah sure…
(She was back to the garden)
(she was quiet again for a while and I let her be in that state for a while)
T- Are you still enjoying the garden?
C- Yes…..
T- Sure, take your time
(she started smiling again)
T- Do you see anyone at the garden?
C-Yes….Masters are here again….I see them…..I am talking to them…
T- That’s really good, please pay my regards to them!
C-Yes…
C- I m already asking them….when will this end…..why I have to suffer…I didn’t do anything bad to anyone…I am a good person…Simple person…why this happened to me?..is there any end to it….
(sobbing slowly…)
(long pause….may be 12-15 mins, smiling, lots of emotions going on her face, I felt, she was having a wonderfully relaxed time, I didn’t want to disturb her peace, I gently instructed, when she is done she can let me know using IMR)
T- Are you still at the garden?
C- Yes….
(after a 2-3 mins pause she suddenly asked, if she could emerge, I followed the procedure and while emerging her I gave gentle instruction to leave the pain behind, no need to carryover that pain in her current life)
She emerged successfully with no pains in her legs and she could finally move her legs and stand up, that was a very big relief for both of us. We hugged each other. I left her in the room for a few mins as requested so she could process everything.
Integration & Closure-
We discussed a few things and she said that “Masters told her that she will get all her answers in due time but for now she needs to bear this pain a little longer as she is not there yet in her journey, Its not time yet”
She was getting very emotional after witnessing and experiencing such strong interaction with the Divine and she told me that she is advised to ‘work for the humanity and people who need help will come to her on their own’ and other details (not to be disclosed as requested)
Surprisingly, Masters also had a few guidelines for me which I am really grateful for-
‘I was told to do regular meditation, meet new people, don’t stop trusting people, have new experiences, I must not complain, but don’t change myself (big relief 
), do charity and with practice I will be successful in becoming a therapist (YAY!!)’
Overall, client was very happy with the PLRT sessions. She said it gave her a new meaningful answer she had been seeking for a long time. She also gained a new sense of awareness about herself which made her feel more confident about how to handle things in her life. She felt lighter, calmer and more at peace with herself after the session. I was happy for her, she found clarity and new prospect. I asked her to make a journal of her insights and dreams. Review the experience she had during session and how it relates to her current life issues. Be gentle with herself, give space for integration and anytime she needs me I am always there for support. I told her that we can always schedule a review session to discuss her progress and any issues she might have. She should rest well and allow things to unfold. If anything becomes overwhelming I am always here to listen.
