The BODY KEEPS the Score

It is simply not possible to go through life, particularly childhood, without incurring deep wounds and trauma that throttle our happiness and effectiveness. And when we factor in past lives and the emotional damage embedded in them, our emotional baggage seems considerable indeed. Fortunately, past-life regression therapy has been helping millions to work on the issues that still hobble their lives. Variations of this therapy have been emerging and offering newer and deeper healing tools. ITR is a case in point. It is an integration of trauma therapy, energy work, inner child work, and past life therapy, a deeply healing modality based on Integral Yoga, as described by The Mother and Sri Aurobindo.

A deep pain in the chest

Many of us are familiar with the pangs of teenage heartbreak. For Nandini, these pangs were devastating. When she experienced her first break-up at the age of 16 years, a stinging pain shot through the left part of her chest. Much to her dismay, this became a recurring pattern: whenever a relationship would end, this same stinging pain would return. Nandini got many ECGs done, but the results always showed no physical issue at all. In 2021, when she broke up with her partner of many years, the pain was so strong that she felt like she was experiencing a heart attack, and again, the cardiologist couldn't detect any abnormality. Perplexed, she decided to have an Integral Regression Therapy session to understand where this pain originated from.
