Vagabond’s wanderlust on subject of PLR

[Vagabond (TAN)]

Some posts (emails) that I read and amongst them the most recent post (video) of Sqn Ldr Anurag Sharma, set me thinking and therefore seeking the pearls of wisdom from the wise in this forum.

Do prayers - resolutions - saying sorry and such like, reset the counters and the issue gets resolved to end the misery?
If the answer is a YES; then the moot question is,
What happens to the transactions (Karma) and how are they to be completed / fructified?
Will simply saying sorry or a fervent prayer full fill the ethereal debt contract and cut the consequences of the transaction that one has executed knowingly or unknowingly?
I ask this bcoz in the physical-material world, One may, escape from or manipulate man made laws; with a politically correct or a well groomed etiquette to say SORRY.
But, can the intangible universal (spiritual) laws be similarly manipulated to escape the consequences?
I’d rather prefer a logical and scientific answer; rather than some religio-spiritual explanation. I’d really love it if some citation or research paper or authority is quoted in support of the answer/explanantion.

No offence intended to any of the ‘professional’ therapists; but,
Is PLR the panacea for (seemingly) all the problems in personal life; other than the psycho-somatic types?
Again, I ask this bcoz I have read posts in this august forum wherein physical ailments have been cured. Forgive my skepticism but ……

In Sqn Ldr Sharma’s video available on this forum; he discusses a case about the doctor’s negligence during the birth of a child. In one of my early cases, immediately after the workshop, I had a similar experience…
It was a case of ‘nuchal cord’ at birth in a remote village of Garhwal and no qualified doctor in attendance; only some aged (experienced?) village women - the traditional midwives.
My subject began to choke when we were at the stage of his birth. His face actually turned black as he choked and at one point of time I was already imagining the cops enquiring about the dead body in my room. As I look back, I guess it was a case of, more than necessary confidence and less than necessary skillset. So my question is,
Are there any reported mishaps (to be read as death) during the regression session? This question is important to me; as it emanates from a personal experience. As also, there are many known cases of death on the operation table even during minor surgeries.

NO MALICE OR OFFENCE INTENDED & SINCERELY HOPING THAT THESE QUESTIONS ARE READ AS IS.

With earnest anticipation, Thanking every such reader who’d choose to reply.

@Vagabond Thank you for raising such thoughtful questions. I’ll try to share my understanding (though i am still a learner) in simple words-

1. On prayers, resolution and karma-From a therapeutic lens they do not erase past actions in the physical world, but they can reframe how the mind and psyche carry the burden of those actions.

2. On whether plrt is a panacea-PLR should be seen as complementary, not substitute for medical treatment. It is not about escaping karma, but about gaining insight, releasing trauma, and transforming inner patterns.

3. On safety in plrt- Well I don’t think i am the right person to answer that question as i am still at a rudimentary stage of learning. May be our seniors and beloved Guru Dr Venu can answer this question

[san.kumars (Santhosh Kumar)]

Hello @Vagabond , I am making an effort to put some lights in your questions which I personally experienced and understood from my life and PLR experience.

1. Do prayers - resolutions - saying sorry and such like, reset the counters and the issue gets resolved to end the misery?
   Ans: it helps to reduce our ego mind at the same time it helps to loosen up the karma bondage.
   When we keep vrittis these thoughts and emotions within ourselves it leads to karma only. Our own thoughts are the seeds of Karma - Suffering.
   Prayers have a different frequencies and vibrations which helps us in transcending emotions to silence. When we pray with true heart and soul with longing our body frequency oscillation pattern changes and becomes very linear in nature. In that moment itself being there with silence in absolute voidness karmas are neutralized slowly.
   It was well said scientificly in the book

Stalking the Wild Pendulum: On the Mechanics of Consciousness by Itzhak Bentov

2. What happens to the transactions (Karma) and how are they to be completed / fructified?
   Ans: Either by taking another birth completing pending transaction or else recognize that all sufferings and karmas are due to a thought arising in our mind.
   When we force ourselves to control our situations and vibrations in mind, it keeps on increase its activity. So recognize that everything and everyone and everywhere all are the product of thoughts including our human form. Once, we just observe all these thoughts rising up, mind cannot produces new thoughts to counteract for the questioned thought. In this mind becomes silent and in this way all karmas are neutralized in this life itself.
   Well in my recent PLRT experience I strongly believe i attained samadhi state or the absolute void state and came back.By doing so my whole back pain and it’s mri report it’self is changed. I am at peace in the waken stage. Beloved @Venumurthy sir silently and secretly made an effort to understand this to all. In his training session also I attained the same state.

3. Will simply saying sorry or a fervent prayer full fill the ethereal debt contract and cut the consequences of the transaction that one has executed knowingly or unknowingly?
Ans: as I have already said in your first query . if we regret and remorse for the ill things or sufferings we did inspite of our situations then it makes our soul relieved. 2ndly, the weights of sufferings or karma are reduced by being apologetic, praying. But when we pray does it touches your heart and soul? How does it feel after praying with your heart and soul? Sometimes speaking to your own soul that you were actually so sorry to produces all these sufferings.

4. Can the intangible universal (spiritual) laws be similarly manipulated to escape the consequences?
Ans Can you manipulate your mother’s morning breakfast which is iddli to your favourite phone which you are holding now?
Once an energy flow is set in motion you cannot manipulate in between.

I’d rather prefer a logical and scientific answer; rather than some religio-spiritual explanation. I’d really love it if some citation or research paper or authority is quoted in support of the answer/explanantion

Which our beloved Guru @venu ji can answer as I don’t have the knowledge on it.

5.Is PLR the panacea for (seemingly) all the problems in personal life; other than the psycho-somatic types?
Ans: PLR is a just a tool to realize your known and unknown karmas moreover it helps you release slowly frommbody consciousness.
In my case, i have received PLR session for various challenges in my life which I cannot control or solution is not attained in this waking state. Recently, i did a PLR for my every repeating pattern of back pain , so I thought even though I have opted for Ayurveda treatment why don’t I get a session for this issue, coz my intuition told you will get some realisation. I did and my 90% pain in whole body was gone once I realised the reason for this pain. It reflected on my MRI report also both written and visual images and moreover I am experiencing the change in my own body.

All I have to say, it’s a wonderful tool that our beloved @venu sir has taught us, moreover without any expectations if we do the process with altruistic and compassionate heart, results are reaped.

Hope I have shed atleast 1% of light to your queries and I know that, scientific explanation or reasoning are not coming from my side, for the same please accept my apologise.

@Vagabond in my HO- Prayers don’t function as a cosmic reset button; they work more like a change in tone. Karma isn’t a moral judge that can be persuaded by sincerity alone, it’s a system of cause and effect that looks for completion. In the material world, polished etiquette and a convincing “sorry” can sometimes bypass consequences. In the karmic world, consequences aren’t personal, so they aren’t negotiable.

This is why the idea of karma needing “closure” matters. Prayer can soften how the experience is met, but it doesn’t erase the entry. Karma isn’t punitive; it’s persistent, returning only until the lesson is integrated.

That’s also why regression or PLRT is often misunderstood. It carries none of the risks associated with surgery or anesthesia because nothing physical is being interfered with. The person remains fully conscious, breathing normally, and in control throughout. What gets accessed are stored experiences—not the body itself. No one dies in a session; what ends is the relevance of an old memory.

In that sense, PLRT doesn’t dramatize karma, it completes it. Once the emotional charge is released and understanding lands, karma has no reason to return. The system doesn’t hold grudges, demand apologies, or enjoy misery, it simply checks whether the lesson has been learned and quietly moves on when it has.

Great …

Dear Vagabond,

Thank you for writing this so openly. Honestly, while reading it I kept thinking that

" half the forum must be nodding silently but relieved someone else asked it first.”

Let me share what I’ve understood after sitting through many sessions, not as a philosophy, just as repeated observation.

Your first question:-

Does saying sorry or praying cancel karma?

If karma could be cleared just by a polite “sorry”, human evolution would have finished long ago

What I actually experienced is -

Saying sorry → nothing much changes

Feeling genuine remorse → emotional relief starts

and with

Deep understanding → the behaviour becomes impossible to repeat

At this point the situation may stop recurring. So, it doesn’t feel like the universe forgave us… but feels like the mind finally learnt the chapter.

Life is not about punishing…it is about repeating the class.

Once understood, attendance is no longer required.

Your 2nd question:-

Can universal laws be manipulated?

In my opinion the Universal laws don’t behave like traffic police waiting to fine us😁.

They behave more like a school teacher who keeps asking the same question in different ways until the student truly gets it​:smiley:

Surface change → same story, new characters

Inner change → n the story quietly disappears

Many of my clients have said

“ Earlier I kept attracting the same kind of people… suddenly it stopped.”

It’s not magic… may be just perception and response updating.

Your 3rd question :-

Is PLR a cure-all?

No… and honestly it shouldn’t be presented this way.

PLR does not cure diseases.

It helps reach emotional memory networks the conscious mind cannot access.

So commonly…emotional & psychosomatic issues improve, people cope better with illness, but fractures, infections, tumors don’t vanish because we regressed

Whenever and wherever it is shown as miracle medicine, your skepticism is completely valid.

Then why do some physical symptoms improve?..

May be because sometimes the brain keeps running a safety alarm –

fear → tension → inflammation →n more fear

When the original emotional imprint resolves, the alarm volume may reduce.

Modern trauma therapies also see this. PLR simply reaches the memory through imagery instead of biography.

Your next question…

Safety …can someone die during regression?

Your Garhwal story… every therapist has one session where confidence leaves the body before the client does

During regression the client is not actually suffocating…they are activating a memory pattern and the body imitates it.

Breathing may change, panic may rise, but the survival reflex stays active

(like waking just before hitting the ground in a dream).

With grounding and breathing guidance they will stabilise.

Also, there are no documented deaths caused by regression…

the only real risk is an inexperienced therapist pushing depth instead of regulating emotion.

We eventually learn…

Depth impresses…and regulation heals.

The last thought…

Whether one interprets PLR as past life, symbolic mind or therapeutic story…

the brain processes the experience as real and resolves the emotional charge.

The belief is optional. Relief is observable.

And skepticism is not opposition to this work, it actually keeps it honest.

Stay blessed

@Santhosh,

Thank you for sharing so honestly from your personal experience. I like how you explained it from the inside rather than trying to prove anything intellectually…
sometimes lived experience conveys more than theory.
Especially your point about prayer and remorse softening the ego and loosening the inner burden.
This is something I do observe in my sessions too.
The shift doesn’t come from the words, but from the inner state they create.

[kobrakulsh (Supritee Kulshreshtha)]

@Dr. Gunjan,

I really liked how simply you put it

“they don’t erase the action but change how the psyche carries it.”

This actually captures a big part of what we as therapists keep witnessing in our sessions.

Many people imagine karma like an external accounting system… debit, credit, cleared or pending.

But what we repeatedly see is closer to an inner load the mind keeps holding until it understands, processes and integrates the experience.

Prayer or resolution doesn’t act like a reset button, they work only when the person internally shifts… the burden lightens because the learning is absorbed, not because the past vanished.

And yes, I completely agree with you that

PLR works best as a complementary approach. When clients come expecting a magical cure, they often miss the real gift of the process…insight, emotional release and behavioural change. The outer life improves because the inner response changes.

With experience we realise regression is less about taking someone very deep and more about staying connected and regulating them while they visit intense memories.

The moment we stop trying to achieve depth and start prioritising stability, sessions become much safer.

[san.kumars (Santhosh Kumar)]

@gunjangaur0905 ji & @kobrakulsh ji, all you were correct to add to that.

This is how I see it;

Mindful prayers are silent (cosmic) invitation to cosmic consciousness and Divine, it gives a letter to the divine one somewhat like this:

'Oh the Divine One!!
Help me, guide me, assist me in recognising my own deviations created by the mind from aeons of birth that I have taken and guide me to understand and correct myself, so that I may union with Divine oneness.:

I have made the above prayer verses based on the first verses said by Lord Buddha when he got enlightenment.

अनेकजाति संसारं
संधाविस्सं अनिब्बिसं ।
गहकारं गवेसन्तो
दुःखा जाति पुनप्पुनं ॥
गहकारक दिट्ठोसि,
पुन गेहं न काहसि ।
सब्बा ते फासुका भग्गा,
गहकूटं विसङ्खतं ।
विसङ्खारगतं चित्तं,
तण्हानं खयमज्जगाः ॥

Meaning:
“Through many births in saṃsāra
I wandered without finding,
seeking the builder of this house.
Painful is birth again and again.
O house-builder, you are seen!
You shall build no house again.
All your rafters are broken,
your ridge-pole is shattered.
My mind has attained the unconditioned;
the end of craving has been reached.”

Above are the first verses or words Lord Buddha himself has spoken after enlightenment.

We can tell the Ego dies or It dies within itself or dissolves and so is the body consciousness.
That’s the reason our dearest @venu sir has said it is also a “Samadhi Therapy”.

Karma returns if we repeat the pattern.
One must recognise and learn the deviations and correct their own path.

Our goal is not to live lives more,
it is to be union with the divine one.

@kobrakulsh

half the forum must be nodding silently but relieved someone else asked it first.”

. So well said! True! One brave soul spoke, and suddenly everyone remembered they had the same question all along.

[hc2101 (Harmeet Kaur)]

@kobrakulsh

every therapist has one session where confidence leaves the body before the client does

So true! I got the scare in my first case. I almost died dealing with it

[kobrakulsh (Supritee Kulshreshtha)]

Beautiful

prayer changes the tone, not the entry.

True.… karma doesn’t melt because we feel bad, it settles when we finally see differently.

Until perception shifts, the experience just keeps coming back wearing new costumes.

And in PLRT nothing dramatic is happening, bas memory ki pakad dheeli ho jaati hai.

No deletion..… No completion.

When the emotional charge drops, life simply stops needing to repeat the lesson.

[kobrakulsh (Supritee Kulshreshtha)]

@harmeet

Hahaha I can imagine

First session toh sabka initiation ritual hota hai..… client healing lene aata hai aur therapist apna ego aur confidence dono chhod ke bahar nikalta hai

After this we realise कि session hum nahi chala rahe hote..… bas sambhal ke baithna hota hai and trust the process.

That “almost died” moment is actually the moment the real therapist is born

[kobrakulsh (Supritee Kulshreshtha)]

@hc2101

Half the healing honestly begins from this relief कि
okay, I’m not the only one thinking this.

One brave soul speaks and collective honesty unlock ho jaati hai​:heart:

[kobrakulsh (Supritee Kulshreshtha)]

@san.kumars

I really liked the way you connected prayer not as asking, but as an inner admission almost like the soul writing a confession letter to the Divine.

This is exactly what I see in sessions too…… that healing doesn’t begin when the client gets answers, it begins when the inner resistance melts.

And yes, patterns repeating is karma, but seeing the pattern is already half-liberation.
The moment awareness comes, the house-builder is exposed

PLRT to me truly feels less like therapy and more like remembrance..… a gentle movement from
story → witnessing → stillness.
