“Trauma is perhaps the most avoided, ignored, belittled, denied, misunderstood, and untreated cause of human suffering.” Peter Levine. Gabor beautifully elicits the difference between big -T and small -t. The big T is the trauma that is acknowledged by the world.

I have already shared my understanding of Past life regression and how it works in my previous posts. ( https://www.healingheartfully.com/post/past-life-regression-my-introduction ). To reiterate, PLR is not hypnosis. PLR is not taking control of the mind of the other. PLR is undoubtedly not eking out information against the others’ will. PLR is an inventure, an inner adventure where the conscious mind dares to venture ideep into oneself. PLR opens the doors to those parts of

In PLR (Past Life Regression), the client is helped to touch the core of their being and come to terms with their childhood, past, and past lives too! And, in Pitru Dosh pooja, the purohit or pundit performs the rituals that are necessary to appease the forefathers. Trimbakeshwar, is one of those pious places, where such poojas are performed. This particular pooja can be performed only by purohits known as "Tamrapatradhari Purohits” (ancient copper in scripture) as only they
