From Aristocrat to Commoner

A young woman with a very serious medical complaint came to me for healing. The doctors of conventional medicine gave up and all awaited her continued degeneration to the inevitable bitter end. She was, understandably, in a depressed state of mind. She admitted having thoughts of suicide, but didn’t know what their source was. She was confused and had effectively stopped functioning. I ascertained that she was under psychiatric care. She complained that the medication given her by the psychiatrist wasn’t helping and was causing severe side affects. After one of the healing sessions with her, I sat down to one side to rest. I suddenly saw in my mind’s eye, a Japanese woman in traditional dress walking round a very well cared for Japanese garden. She looked at me with curiosity. Her name was Hiyoshi. She was the daughter of an important leader and had married a very rich man. I saw her beat the servants and pour out her anger on the servants’ children who were in the garden. I understood that she was barren and this made her a very bitter person.

I told the girl under my treatment what I had seen. The characteristics of the Japanese woman I described seemed to fit the patient very well. She said she

too could not tolerate children. She enthusiastically cooperated with the proceedings that transpired. It became clear to me that in past lives she had enjoyed aristocratic status, while in her present life she was born to an ordinary family. The “fall” in her status was unconsciously disturbing her, causing dissatisfaction with her life and the desire to end it. At some point I stopped talking to the girl and spoke directly to that part of her personality that came from the previous life – the Japanese woman. I tried to convince her that her life cycle was over and done with, and now she is a young woman who has her whole life ahead of her.
