He is a rare soul who navigates effortlessly between the sublime and the luxury, one moment immersed in the rhythmic cadence of ancient Shiva mantras, the next meticulously contemplating which mutton dish to savor, as if both were equally sacred. A hardcore Shiva devotee, he honors ritual and devotion with quiet intensity, yet he also understands, with equal clarity, that lifeās pleasuresāfine food, branded clothes-shoes, exquisite watches, and subtle perfumes, can also be small portals to the divine. Thereās a sharp and luminous intelligence about him, honed by curiosity and reflection. He carries knowledge lightly, illuminating what he sees without ever flaunting it, his mind stays humble, his Gucci watch, howeverā¦ Not so much. He reads the world easily, sensing patterns, energies, and intentions long before they are spoken.
Beneath his composed exterior lies a softer, sweeter contradiction, when it comes to love and pampering, he becomes like a toddler, not exactly childish but childlike; open hearted, delightfully needy, craving affection in the most innocent way. He melts under tenderness, lights up at a small gesture and loves being fussed over by his loved ones. His emotions run deep; sometimes oceanic, sometimes fire-bright, but always authentic. When he cares, it melts hearts in a way he doesnāt even realize.
He is a captivating paradox: half monk, half mischief, fully awake. A man who proves that devotion, wit, intellect, and indulgence do not merely coexist, they enrich one another, shaping a life that is richer, sharper, and undeniably his own.

History (some details have been changed to protect privacy)
His story takes flight from the vibrant streets of India where he was born into a simple family. Born to parents who lived with quiet dignity and contentment, his childhood unfolded gently, shaped by laughter and love, surrounded by extended family and cousins, and immersed in the rhythms of nature. Life was joyful, full of warmth, free of any trauma and uncomplicated.
As he grew older, life carried him from the comfort of his hometown to the restless pulse of a bustling city. The change was sharp, unsettling at first, almost like a world far louder and faster than the one he knew. Yet with time, he adapted, learning to find his rhythm amidst the crowd. Soon after, he stepped into engineering college, a place where new dreams took shape. Surrounded by friends, laughter, and endless conversations, he thrived. He had always been drawn to people, and in their company, he found energy, purpose, and a sense of home.
He had always carried a lightness in his nature, an easy charm, a gentle flirtation that seemed to follow him since childhood. Along the way, he stepped into a few relationships, yet none rooted deeply enough to hold him. He moved on easily, almost effortlessly. Even the passing of loved ones (grandparents to whom he was genuinely close) left only a soft ripple on the surface of his life. He obviously cared, but the weight never lingered.
But then, he met the woman who would become his wife. Something shifted quietly at first, then unmistakably. For the very first time, he felt the strong pull of love; tender and profound. She reached a place within him no one else had touched. In her presence, he found not just affection, but grounding. She became his emotional anchor, the one steady point in a world that was always moving.
They came from different casts, religions, and worlds itself. Their families hesitated, questioned and even resisted. But, in time, the families agreed, and the two of them married, stepping together into a life that felt bright, hopeful and beautifully simple. Life moved in a steady and comforting rhythm. He found professional opportunities abroad and excelled in them, rising with confidence and skill. Yet, each time, he returned home, because she wasnāt ready to settle far away, and he chose her over every horizon.
Then came the pregnancy, a time filled with excitement and dreams, but it changed suddenly and, in a sense, violently. Their baby arrived at just six months. The doctors had little hope. They warned that survival was unlikely, and even if the child lived, the road ahead would be marked by severe impairment or a life painfully short.
It was a time of fear, faith, and fragile hope. Every day was borrowed, every hour precious. So, they celebrated the tiny milestones, monthly birthdays, small moments of breath, and heartbeat; holding their child with a mix of courage and uncertainty, never knowing what the future would bring.
But the child survived, quietly defying every assumption, every warning and every limit placed upon those early fragile days. Now into the teenage years, that once tiny fighter stands strong, an extraordinary blend of intelligence and beauty, grace and strength. Perfect not just in the way the world measures perfection, but also in the way a soul shines when it has overcome the impossible. Inside and out, the child radiates a brilliance that turns heads and touches hearts. Every day, the father offers quiet gratitude to life itself; the child who overcame so much. He sees the embodiment of all his blessings, all his joys and every hope he ever carried. He thanks God daily that the fullness of his lifeās fortune has taken shape in that one perfect, shining being.
Life, however, has never been without its tests. They had invested their life savings into a property, dreaming it would become their perfect home. Friends were encouraged to join them in the venture. But fate intervened and the builder filed for bankruptcy even before the construction began. It was a shock; an unforeseen blow that rattled their ambitions. Undeterred, they joined forces with other investors to file a lawsuit, a battle that would stretch on for over a decade, unresolved.
Meanwhile, opportunity called him abroad, and the family moved together. His wife, having left her career to devote herself entirely to their child, supported the transition. Life seemed abundant, wealth, luxury, and professional success flowed easily.
Then, seeking new horizons, they decided to move to North America. What seemed like a chance to build a better life turned into unexpected hardship. They brought their savings and hopes, only to find life had other plans. For several years, they struggled, shifting between jobs, settling for less than they deserved, enduring environments where he was undervalued and overlooked, working under those less qualified than himself. The strain broke him mentally; depression and stress took hold.
Yet, through perseverance, a turning point arrived. He found a new role that recognized his abilities, and slowly, steadily, he regained his footing. Once again, he was in his groove, earning well, thriving professionally, and reclaiming the confidence and purpose that had once seemed so distant.
From the outside, it might seem that everything is in order; success, stability and a thriving family. Yet beneath the surface, a quiet storm rages. However, internally, he grapples with fears and pressures that never quite abate. Not owning a home in this new land feels like a constant weight; a reminder of impermanence. His wife works despite his earnings and while he wants her to rest, to enjoy life fully, the mounting expenses and lack of control over finances leave him anxious and frustrated. The thought of supporting a future education fund, especially if their child pursues medicine, adds another layer of worry. The years have taken a quiet toll on his body and health; Psoriasis, persistent concerns about diabetes and the creeping aches and pains remind him that his body carries the cost of these battles.
Even his work, once a source of purpose and pride, now feels empty. The colleagues who made each day meaningful have moved on, and motivation is hard to muster, especially in the cold, unfamiliar climate. Across the ocean, his parents remain in India, and the uncertainty of when he might see them again gnaws at him. Thoughts of his fatherās potential depression and his motherās worries about having both her children settled far away weigh heavily on his heart. Despite external appearances, inside, he is navigating a complex web of fear, responsibility, and longing; a man successful in many ways, yet carrying burdens only he can fully feel.

Theme- āFrustrationā
āą¤¹ą¤¤ą¤¾ą¤¶ą¤¾ā
There are moments when anger grips him, moments when he question his decision to move to North America, where he must struggles longer and harder than he ever imagined to support his family financially, and in the quiet moments, away from the noise of achievement, away from the images of stability he presents to the world, his own question arises from the deepest part of him- āWhy do I feel this way? I have everything, yet nothing gives me pleasure. Why do I feel angry with myself? Why, despite all that I have built, I feel frustrated? Why donāt I feel financially secure, even when I earn well?ā Again, I used the Junto Wheel to trace the emotion. And we decided to go with the THEME - āFRUSTRATION/ ą¤¹ą¤¤ą¤¾ą¤¶ą¤¾ā
I played the End of Suffering (Thich Nhat Hanh & Gary Malkin) video, left him alone in the room for the duration, we went through the check list together and I made sure he was comfortable, room temperature was okay etc. We started with a small prayer to The Divine Masters, Dave Elman, followed by Progressive relaxation, ball of light, since he was a Kineasthetic client (I call them Kathin/ ą¤ą¤ ą¤æą¤Ø 
clients as it takes forever to get them into trance, I myself is K so I know how fussy it can be) I made sure to give plenty of time for induction and deepening almost 90-100 minsā¦ā¦then descending staircase and into the garden.
Happy Childhood Memories ā He was able to go to a few happy memories from his childhood where he saw himself mostly playing with his friends and cousins. In one of the memories when he was 7-8 years old, he was just walking in the nature feeling very happy, content and totally relaxed. Another happy childhood memory, when he was just 1.5 years old and his mother was pregnant with his younger sibling. He saw his parents smiling and being happy, in his motherās womb he saw himself being in a dark place swimming- nothing much he could make of. He was emerged as per guidelines and he woke up feeling wonderful and being very relaxed. He said instead of landing in to the Garden of Peace, he saw a beautiful valley filled with lush grass and flowers so I decided to use that Valley of Peace instead of garden going forward.

(5.00PM-8.30PM)
Stages 10-13
He was feeling very relaxed after his first experience being in the trance and going back to explore his childhood memories, he said how he missed those old careless days and youth. We had lunch together and chit chatted a bit then again, he was ready to go on to further exploring. As always, we started the session with a small prayer to the Divine Masters, extended Dave Elman, Progressive Relaxation, Ball of Light, Staircase and in to the Valley of Peaceā¦ā¦he was guided to go onto a boat ride to meet and greet his loved ones. And at the shore he met his long-lost Grand-parents, Brother-in-Law, Uncles and cousins and he was emotional to witness all this. Then he was gently guided to go on to the mountain cliff to dispose off old and traumatized memories and to get rid of the future worries. He didnāt take much time to do that and I could see lil sadness on his face while he was going through all of this. I kept advising him to continue with deep and slow breathing and he can go to the Valley of Peace anytime he feels uncomfortable but he continued, and before I could ask him if he would like to explore a past life he said he is ready to emerge, I was a lil surprised but followed as he askedā¦ he was emerged as per the guidelines. He woke up relaxed yet quiet. He said he felt badā¦bad because, unlike so many others, he didnāt have a drawer full of dark memories to empty. No trauma to release, no wounds to discard. āLife has given me so, so much,ā he murmured, āand still, I complain.ā There was no self-pity in his voice, only a sincere bewilderment at how the mind works. We talked for a while and discussed few points and he left to go home hoping to get a good sleep!!

Stages 10-15
He came back next day, feeling very relaxed and full of energy and was very eager to go into trance and finding answers to his questionsā¦ā¦so after discussing a few points and making sure that he was comfortable and room temperature is okay etcā¦ā¦we started with a small prayer to the Divine Master, Extended Dave Elman, Progressive Relaxation, Ball of Light, Descending Staircase and into the Valley of Peaceā¦.and from there I made an affect bridge of the feeling of Frustration he was having, asking him where he senses the feeling in his body and he said āhands and legsā and he was guided to walk and cross this bridge to find answers to his questionsā¦.

T- Sureā¦please enjoyā¦.
(he was floating and describing how beautiful and serene the valley is and he seemed so relaxed and calm, I let him talk and enjoy for a while, then I gently guided him to go to the significant event)
3ā¦.2ā¦1
T- what comes to your awareness now?
C-I am still floating ā¦ā¦I see a templeā¦
(I felt lil happy that he might find his answer there, I guided him to go find anyone there and ask for guidance but no luck, he described the temple in full details like how ancient and beautiful this temple is and he has never seen this temple anywhere in pictures, movies or real life, some-how he entered the temple)
T- What comes to your awareness now? How do you feel?
C- I see Bala Jiā¦ā¦huge foot at my leftā¦ā¦.
T- Thatās wondefulā¦.Please pay my regardsā¦ā¦

(he kept on describing how he is in awe of this āDarshanā he kept talking about it for a while, how his throne changing colorsā¦.getting a dark stone texture then turning in to gold, I let him stay in the bliss, initially I guided him to ask any questions but he declined saying I donāt want to ask I just want to stay in the feeling, so he was there for 10-15 min, lots of emotions going on his face, awestruck, happy, almost crying, spiritual bliss)
Suddenlyā¦.
C- He is goneā¦.
(sadness on his face and in his voice, before I could guide or sayā¦.he announced he is floating again, so I let him float, he landed at a lake)
C- I am at this lake now and I see Hanumaan jiā¦.he is made of stone and he has a crown on his head ā¦.thereās a water fall going down from one side of his crownā¦ā¦
T- Please offer my regards to Hanumaan Jiā¦.and if you wish you can ask him anythingā¦ā¦
C-Noā¦ā¦he is not saying anything ā¦ā¦he is so hugeā¦ā¦I am just looking at himā¦ā¦I want to stay hereā¦
T-Sure please stay here as long as you wish toā¦.
(after 5-7 mins)
C-He is gone nowā¦ā¦
(again, sad voice and face)
T- Would you like to go back to the valley of peace for a whileā¦.
C- Sureā¦
(he was there and from there he was guided again to find the answer of his question)
3ā¦.2ā¦.1
T-What comes to your awareness now? How do you feel?

C- I am at the Kailash Mountainā¦ā¦

C- I feel greatā¦.thereās a lake on one side and mountain looks so hugeā¦ā¦

C-Shivaā¦.its himā¦ā¦so tall so hugeā¦ā¦his head is touching the skyā¦.he is so tallā¦ā¦he is smiling at meā¦.
T-That so wonderfulā¦ā¦please pay my regards to Shiv Ji
(as a therapist again, I nudged him to ask any questions. Again he declinedā¦ā¦.he kept on describing how is he feeling and Shiva is just smiling at him and he felt so blessed, he said at one point he also became a part of Shiva and he felt that we are part of him, we are one entity and he was so awestruck and mesmerized but he kept on muttering how much blissful this whole experience is and he stayed in that divine bliss for almost 15-18 mins)
He asked to emerge and declined going into further exploring and he was emerged as per the guidelines and I instructed him to carry the Divine wisdom from witnessing Bala Ji, Hanumaan Ji and Shiva, bring back clarity, healing and understanding he gained during his journey. He woke up feeling amazed and beyond happy. He said āI canāt describe how I feel nowā.
Integration
āI have a perfect life,ā he said āA life people would die forā¦and here I am, whining like a kid.ā His response was not to expose guilt, but to capture a moment of awakening. He spoke of his greatest blessing-his child, healthy, radiant, impossibly bright.
He had a divine experience, a vision of Bala Ji, of Hanumaan Ji, and of Shiv Ji themselves.
Not in a dream. Not in imagination. But in a presence so real, so overwhelming, that it dissolved every boundary of time and self. He said he couldnāt move. His body felt like it had forgotten how to exist. He justā¦ melted. Melted into stillness, into devotion, into an awe no words were built to carry. For those few sacred moments, life wasnāt a series of events anymore, it was a revelation. A reminder of something ancient, something vast, something infinitely loving. And when he returned to himself, he was no longer the same man. He carried a calmness that didnāt need explanation. A softness in his voice. A quiet surrender in his eyes. Success, complaints, worries, they all seemed small compared to what he had witnessed. His life had transformed, not through struggle, but through Divine grace. And in that awareness, he found something rare, a quiet revolution within himself. A decision to honor whatās beautiful, instead of chasing whatās broken.
And in this highlight of his journey, this was the turning point, the moment when the divine stepped in, and he simply bowed, too humbled to speak, too blessed to ever look at life the same way again. And then, almost hesitantly, he revealed another truth, one that didnāt come wrapped in spirituality or awe, but in raw, disarming honesty. He said he was surrounded by people who love him to death. Family, friends, a circle that hold him up with warmth and loyalty, people who would bend, stretch, and soften themselves just to keep him comfortable, just to see him happy. Yetā¦ he couldnāt rise above the small complaints. Tiny irritations, ego sprains, bruises of pride, things so minor that, when spoken aloud, they sounded almost silly. But inside him, they grew into walls. He admitted he couldnāt always bend. Couldnāt always soften. Couldnāt always acknowledge the pattern he was falling into. His own shortcomings. His reactions. His habit of holding on to the tiniest inconveniences as if they were grand injustices. and yet, he expected the world around him to adjust, to align, to cater to his wishes. As if love came with a manual titled: āDo everything my way.ā There was no defense in his voice. Just an uncomfortable truth finally looking him in the eye. This wasnāt a man lacking blessings, this was a man learning to meet himself. His divine experiences showed him grace. His gratitude showed him awareness. But thisā¦this confession showed him growth. It revealed a man standing at the crossroads between who he had been and who he could become, if only he learned to release ego, embrace humility, and recognize how deeply he was loved.
Why do we always look at the negative things? Why does the human mind, even wrapped in abundance, search for missing pieces?
And for me, as a therapist, this was the most human part of his journey, the part where spiritual awakening meets emotional honesty. For him, the divine moment became a turning point. But for me, watching his journey unfold, there was a lesson quietly waiting in the background, a lesson no textbook, no training manual had ever prepared me for. As a therapist, I had often traced peopleās struggles back to patterns, memories, past-life fragments that shaped their emotional landscape. But his session taught me something profoundly humbling:
Not every problem has a past-life origin.
Not every confusion is tied to buried pain.
Not every heaviness comes from karma carried across lifetimes.
Sometimes, we humans do something far simpler, and far more complicated. We take a small worry and feed it with our fears. We let a passing discomfort grow, layering it with assumptions, stories, projections, until it becomes a mountain we can no longer climb over. And when the mountain becomes too big, we look for the easiest explanation.
We say,
āIt must be my karma.ā
Or,
āThis burden must be from another life.ā
It becomes an escape, a convenient one, but an escape nevertheless. Watching him, a man blessed with abundance, recognize his own pattern of unnecessary self-blame was a revelation for both of us. His clarity showed me that sometimes the mind doesnāt need regression, it needs perspective. It needs truth spoken softly. It needs the courage to see that not all difficulties are woundsā¦sometimes, they are simply habits of thought. In that moment, I realized that healing isnāt always about going backwards. Sometimes, itās about looking directly at the present, and admitting how often we complicate our own peace.
And that, too, is transformation.
Closure-
He was already on a good path of meditation and after witnessing the Divine itself, something changed in him profoundly. He decided to take his fitness seriously and be more spiritually inclined. He goes on daily walks listening to various spiritual podcasts. All the recommendations were emailed to him and he reported back after 2 weeks living in the same bliss and awareness.
His wife called me today and said āyou did wonders Harmeet, my husband is a changed man now, he takes his fitness seriously and becoming disciplined (rare for him), I must come for a session too, hopefully in winter breakā 
and that made my day
