Unloading The Unseen Baggage We Carry

Mental Health doesn’t always translate into anxiety or depression. One can be absolutely healthy and happy, yet be unwell. Healing such cases who feel something ‘missing’ sometimes takes routes like Hypnotherapy and Past-life regression. Let’s take a look at the journey within with By Lt Col Pooja Gupta (Retd), a well-known therapist.

It was just another Tuesday morning, one of those perfectly average days cloaked in everyday routines. Yet for Meera, a 45-year-old proud high-flyer, it marked the beginning of a quiet revelation. She was successful, respected at work, loved at home, and appeared thriving as we all perceive success. But, there was something amiss. That’s why she wanted to talk to me. Meera broke down in the first five minutes of our healing session.

“I want to be happy,” she whispered, eyes brimming. “But I’m just… not, I feel very unwanted.” Who would think a woman with several achievements, doing extremely well, standing tall with pride, is breaking inside with the feeling of being unwanted?

Meera’s story holds few depictions common to many, albeit with a different impact on everyone. She had everything going for her. Still she felt like crying, hollow inside and constantly fighting the feeling within of not being enough- “no one wants me.”

The feeling had been inside of her always, without realisation. When we delved deeper, she discovered that she felt unwanted not only in the present but has been feeling so for years since her childhood. Her siblings envied her for being the favourite child but surprisingly she herself felt unwanted.

THE ROOT CAUSE

As we touched the root cause, we found the origin of this emotional turmoil stemmed from her mother’s fear to bear second daughter. While carrying Meera in the womb, her mother mentioned about her fear being scared of giving birth to one more daughter several. Thus, Meera felt unwanted even before she was born and was carrying this feeling since then.

It has nothing to do with behaviour of the people around, it was an impression on her very being, something she was born with. However, when we began healing this emotional wound, a remarkable transformation started. Meera began to flourish, radiating happiness and joy, not only from outside, but from deep within her soul. She emerged as a vibrant, smiling version of herself, finally free from the shadows of her heavy past. She is finally at peace and in an ecstatic joy with herself now.

BENEATH THE SURFACE

Beneath perfectly curated lives and well-poised smiles lie emotional undercurrents that we rarely talk about, e.g., anxiety, grief, burnout, guilt, deep-seated trauma, etc, these aren’t an exception anymore. Some do find transformation through an unconventional, yet profoundly healing path, ‘Hypnotherapy’.

As a regression therapist, I’ve worked with individuals from all walks of life like entrepreneurs, corporate executives, defence persons, children (school & college going), married, divorced, live-in, homemakers, working mothers, etc. No matter who they are, many carry emotional residues that medicine can’t cure or explain and logic can’t erase. And often, they don’t even know they’re carrying it because what is often felt as a symptom has its root cause hidden deep inside our sub-conscious.

DROWNING IN PNEUMONIA

Take example of Pratibha, who for years battled with persistent cough and recurrent fever. Countless medical consultations yielded inconclusive answers. When she approached me, Pratibha revisited a vivid traumatic memory during her healing session through regression.

While exploring her sub-conscious, Pratibha realised that she was pushed into a river and had drowned in previous life. The sensation of water in her lungs, feeling of helplessness, surfaced with astonishing clarity. Days after this emotional breakthrough, she was finally diagnosed with pneumonia, and the stubborn cough that had plagued her for years simply vanished.

URGE TO TIME TRAVEL

Now consider the example of Sundari, a young woman weighed down by guilt after her father passed away. She hadn’t got time to make amends with her father which was taking an overwhelmingly emotional toll on her. Through regression, she uncovered an extraordinary truth about herself in the past life. She was her father’s grandfather in past life and experienced the final moments of that life, where-in she longed for connection across time.

She went on to visit her ancestral village and corroborated the specific details which had emerged during her healing session. The validation was undeniable, which was magical for her and also for me as a therapist. But more importantly, her burden and guilt were lifted. It doesn’t happen often that a session gets authenticated confirming the time travel.

These aren’t just the stories of curiosity, but those involving deep healing.

UNRESOLVED EMOTIONS

We often assume that healing is only required when something inside us breaks. But more often, the need starts quietly with a small nagging emotion that we generally ignore, or a repeating pattern we aren’t able to explain. Hypnotherapy and Past Life Regression not only offer just a glimpse of past life, but a deeper look into the current one. They take us from surface-level cope mechanism and beyond the core of our unresolved emotions and helping us to make sense of seemingly senseless emotions or things or feelings within us.

These healing sessions are about creating peace and stillness. They help people face pain they couldn’t name and release it, uncover fears they never questioned, and, ultimately let go of baggage they were never meant to carry.

THE HEALING

The importance of emotional healing cannot be overstated. It shapes us, it shapes how we love, how we work, how we sleep, and how we speak to ourselves when no one is listening. And yet, it is that important aspect of well-being we most often ignore. In a world obsessed with productivity, healing requires a kind of courage that’s quiet, patient, and radically honest.

In an era, that’s finally learning to recognise mental and emotional health with seriousness, we need to be brave enough to ask- What if the answers we seek, aren’t just ahead of us, but behind us, quietly waiting to be remembered?

Sometimes, the journey forward begins by turning inward. And sometimes, it is helpful to explore the past, and make peace with it.
