I had to deal with a strange case of migraine where the headache was so intense that the client also suffered from blindness in one eye. Most doctors would not believe her, but a neurologist said she had retinal migraine. So she approached me asking if I believed her and would be able to help her. I told her that I took a neutral stance with all my clients and simply flowed with the course of healing that unfolded during regression. I also confirmed that the neurologist was right about the diagnosis. The woman agreed and shared her concerns:
Presenting Conditions
- Severe migraine on the front portion of the left side of the head.
- Headache accompanied by total blindness in the left eye.
- Most doctors concluded her headache-induced blindness to be psychosomatic, which left my client feeling very frustrated.
Findings through Regression Therapy
As I probed my client, she revealed that she felt very scared and guilty of not taking care of her family. If her daughter was unwell, she would neither eat nor sleep, and if inevitably she had to leave her she would do so only after ensuring that her husband was in her place, watching their daughter. Even then she would quickly return and take back her place by her daughter’s side. As my client narrated this, I noticed her left eye starting to flutter and water. I found this quite unusual, because normally when you cry tears flow from both eyes. But in her case, only her left eye was watering. I also noticed her absentmindedly touching the left side of her head, which gave me a clue that there was a link between her feeling scared of not being able to take care of her family and her migraine with blindness in her left eye.
Through regression we discover that in one of her past lives she was happily living as the wife of the chief priest of a temple in a popular pilgrimage in the state of Gujarat in North India. All was well until one night a masked man enters their house and kills the priest. He is about to kill her five-year-old son, but she comes in between and the dagger pierces her left eye, blinding that eye completely. As she realizes that the masked intruder is none other than her slain husband’s brother, who wanted the priest’s position, she begs him to let her go with her son and daughter, promising that she would never return or come in his way.
So she leaves home with her children, desolate and shelter-less, and ends up leading an emaciated life on a railway platform and eating from trash. One day she collapses and the onlookers, thinking her to be dead, take her to the hospital. When she regains consciousness and returns back to the railway platform, she is miserable to find her children missing. She wanders in search of them for many days but is unable to find them. Finally she dies under a tree feeling wretched with her life and miserable with the thought that she had been unable to look after her family. At the time of death she curses, “God is so ruthless. Why did he give human life if he had to make us suffer like this?”
Metaphor of the Memory in Current Life
The memory of this past life is triggered in the present life when the woman, as a 15-year-old girl, is taken to a leper’s home on a field trip from her school. She enters the home happily, but the moment she sees the thin, emaciated woman in a white saree with leprosy, she becomes unconscious and collapses. She wakes up with a mild headache and says to herself, “What is this? Why did God give life if he had to make human beings suffer?” This incident triggers the memory of her dying moments in her past life.
Though something had been triggered, her bouts of headache did not trouble her until she was 22. When she was 22 years old, her brother goes through a divorce and she is not able to help him through it. She feels guilty, and that intensifies her headache. When she gets married and has a daughter, she constantly keeps an eye on her whenever she falls sick, because she feels that if she doesn’t do so she will lose the chance of taking care of her family. Basically, she is driven by guilt and fear. This is when her migraine is at its worst, even causing blindness in her left eye – the memory of the dagger piercing her left eye as she is trying to protect her son in her past life. Interestingly the woman’s brother in her present life was her son in the past life, and her present life daughter was her daughter in her past life too.
Condition Post Regression
So the session gets over, everything looks fine, my client goes home but she comes back after two or three weeks saying she is having headaches again. But now it was in the back portion of the left side of her head instead of the front. So we go through one more session that takes her back to another lifetime where she is a soldier who is being ordered by his king to kill a young child. The soldier’s conscience pricks him, because he is reminded of his promise to his 3-year-old son that he would come back for him. It was almost 2 years since he had left home to wage terrible wars. So he refuses to carry out his king’s orders, upon which the king gets angry and kills the soldier by striking him hard on the back of the left side of his head, with the butt of his sword. The soldier’s dying thought was, “I obeyed the king and did terrible things in my life, so I deserve to be punished.” So in this lifetime the soul assumes the form of a weak lady to wipe out the impressions from the past life of a soldier.
After this session the client completely recovered from her migraine. I have been following up with her for more than a year now. Her headache is totally gone and there are absolutely no symptoms of blindness in her eye.
