Past lives are a source of worry for many. They resist and react strongly when they are forced to come in for a session. Force creates fear, and so as a therapist you must always ask whether the person willingly wants to do a session. If not, say, “Wait for the right time and the person will arrive.” The ways of the spiritual path always find their meanderings reach the door way of the heart. As much as you may resist your soul will keep nibbling your ear and pouring the intent to reach within. For Sarita’s husband Kamal the time came a few weeks later when he visited a psychiatrist friend who suggested that he find a way out of this humiliation. He was suggested cognitive therapy and antidepressants. Kamal a physician himself opted for the latter. When deeper insight is to be avoided, we hide behind the pills hoping that the catalepsy created by them will get us to sleep. Sarita decided to narrate the past life experience to her husband. Kamal apparently listened to it and was very silent. There was no conversation for a week and he remained deep in thought. Sarita told me that Kamal had been reclusive and had cancelled his appointments for the week on the pretext that he was ill. I counseled Sarita not to interfere with him, stay off and let the mind churn itself. Sarita followed the advice though it was difficult.
Exactly a week later at midnight I got a call from Kamal. He was calm and composed. He asked me to fix an appointment for him. He said that he needed clarity and so wanted to come for his past life session. I was not surprised. I knew that when he heard his wife’s session there would be a curiosity that will in some way raise his soul’s search light.
Kamal arrived and told him that his wife’s calmness in dealing with the situation has brought him at my clinic. He too needs to be at peace and not angry at his humiliation at the hands of the nurses and hospital staff.
Kamal was a deep trance subject/ he very quickly entered an altered consciousness and his body began to shiver. It was hot around but his body was freezing. When I asked him where he was and what did he see around him, he started narrating the sight. He said that he was in a fort in the year 1882 and he was with a woman. There was a young child and he was happy. He identified the woman resembling his wife. She was dutiful and was smiling at him. The next scene shifted to his durbar (a meeting place) in the fort’s inner hall. There were many soldiers there. He described the costumes and it resembled the Maratha struggle period. He was not keen to fight though the commander of his forces was saying this was a way of keeping his might intact against the Mughals. Kamal saw that he was more interested in wine and woman. He then saw himself with another woman who enters his home and starts living with him. His wife is livid but can’t do anything. Kamal sees that he is disrespectful to his wife and begins to distance from her. She is very angry and in one scene that he sees she tells him that she will teach him a lesson. He sees his death on a horse when an arrow hits his chest and he dies. The last thought he had was to ask for forgiveness to his wife. The session was powerful for Kamal was sweating profusely during the session. When he came into full consciousness he was drenched in sweat. This could be the release of fear and anguish at death. Kamal sat for quite some time pondering over the session. He was distressed at what he had experienced. When the past life karma begins to be unveiled and the mind sees a similar pattern as in ones present life there is always distress. The person feels trapped and his emotions are stripped by him. It is always difficult to stand as an accused in front of one’s own mind. To admit to oneself that he is to blame for the present life crises is tough. When there is no place to hide and run, you are exposed to who you really are. This is very challenging and can help you to make a karmic shift.
I was quiet and allowed him to gather his emotions and thoughts. As a therapist you must be quiet and not analyze immediately. Many people would like to go home, sleep and then speak about it. This too is fine.
Once the person comes into full wakefulness he may feel drained and tired. This is temporary and after a few minutes as this present life body adjusts itself again to the breathing the person will report lightness and peace. There is nothing occult about this therapy. Many people have ill informed notions about trance states. It is the most beautiful, relaxing and calming experience that you could have.
A few weeks later Sarita called up to say that they had decided to divorce and depart amicably. She said that she would continue taking the therapy for a few more sessions. Kamal has taken time to recover and he is trying to mend his ways without giving Sarita more pain. He may or may not succeed in becoming free from his shadow self is to be seen. Understanding and insight are abilities that have to be cultivated. For Sarita it has been easier while for Kamal it seems he is still fighting the ghosts of his past.
When a karmic cord is severed it must be done with deep understanding of the spiritual ties which bind you to each other. Its very important that the experience that you have had with one relationship does not permeate into another loving relationship. The person must be aware of the emotions and feelings that subtely emerge when another person comes knocking at your heart. Dont see that person with the lens of the past. Get a new lens and a new vision. This is possible as you move 360 degrees away from the position you havd taken. Love comes in the most unexpected of situations and welcome it with open arms. Sarita's of the world awaken and give love another chance.
