Case Study - 29 year old woman

During the beginning of the regression session, a very sore spot was revealed in the stomach area. After twenty or thirty minutes spent implementing the technique, the client became very quiet and serene, and started to re-experience the following episode. (The questions at the beginning of the paragraphs are asked by the connector. The answers are those given by the client.)

What are you feeling? -It just looks stale and grey. It feels very defeated. A woman with her head hanging between her shoulders, backward. She is quite young, with long hair, and a white dress. I can't see her face.
Does she feel happy, or sad? -She is very sad.
Is she crying? -No.
Does it feel warm or cold around her? -Cold.
Is there any noise? -No. It is dead silent. She is really tired. It feels tighter now in the stomach.
What does she want? -She wants something back that she has lost. She knows she can't do anything.
Is she alone? -Yes. She is very young. She is wounded.
Physically wounded? -Yes.
Does she feel any pain? -She has lost a lot of blood. But she doesn't care. She is very cold.
Can you feel her pain? -It starts in the stomach, in the ribcage and it goes to the back, between the shoulder blades. She can feel her heart beat. She has regrets. Her family is gone and they can't come back. She just wants to die.
Her family? -A man. And her child. Her child was three. He had soft curly hair... It was an attack. The man was very strong, so he was taken somewhere.
And the child? -The child was killed. He died in front of her.
How? -It was very difficult, very cruel. She does not remember much of that.
How did he die? -A spear through him. Her lips have turned blue... The woman was assaulted too.
What did they do to her? -About six soldiers.
What did they look like? -Dark coats, short hair, with helmets. Something on top of the helmets. No beard. They were dark-skinned. Shorter than the man.
What did they do to her? -I don't know. She does not remember. It does not matter.
Try to see. -Four men held her. It is hard to say. They held her and raped her just near the child's body.
Was he dead? -Yes.
And then? -When they finished, the last one kicked her in the stomach and in the ribs. That is why she can taste blood in her mouth.
And then? -She crawls back into her house... And she dies a moment later.

As is often the case, this samskara was buried and the young woman had never suspected its presence before. Yet it was not buried that deeply, since it could be brought back to the surface and reexperienced in this regression, which was only the second in the process. Being endowed with such a dramatic emotional charge, the samskara could not possibly remain neutral and inactive. One year before the regressions took place, this young woman had lost a child by miscarrying a few weeks before her delivery. While undergoing the regression, she immediately recognised that the pain she had felt at the time of the miscarriage was exactly the same as the woman's pain when she was raped and her son killed.

The superimposition of the two episodes is indeed puzzling. It is as if a drama of the past had to be replayed because the wounds it had left had not been healed. Without realising that this samskara was buried in her unconscious and influencing her, what chance was there for this young woman to understand what was happening in her present? In cases like this one, it is hard to know whether the miscarriage would still have happened, had the regressions been carried out before the pregnancy. However, as soon as the client discovered this samskara, her life started changing. Her sadness abated, and the emotional wound left by the miscarriage started to heal. She regained a certain centredness and a greater sense of purpose.
