Angry Chieftain

Issue: Anger especially when the client is questioned about something

During the PLR session, the client regressed to a life about 300 years ago where was a village Chieftain in his early 30s. He found himself in an open area with lots of holes dug into the ground. They looked like graves surrounded by flowers and incense sticks. He was accompanied by a pandit (Indian priest), who was conducting certain rituals, last rites, for the dead villagers. He lamented for all these souls who had lost their lives during a recent scrimmage between his villagers and some tribesmen who had come to loot them.

Scenes of the attack haunted him as he remembered how the villagers were running amok screaming. The attack had been sudden and brutal and so there had been many casualties. He saw them being butchered around him but could not do anything to stop this carnage. 

The chieftain now moved to a time when he was standing in the chaupal (meeting place of all villagers in the centre of the village). The rest of the villagers surrounded him and were shouting and screaming at him accusing him of betraying them and not having the strength and guts to save them from the attack by the tribesmen. He felt extremely angry about the way he was being treated by his own villagers and could not fathom why they were behaving with him in that manner. How could they not understand that there was nothing he could have done to save them from being looted and killed? How could they doubt his courage and judgement? How could they call him weak and incapable?

Unable to deal with his own anger and trauma, he left the village and took refuge in the forest where he lived alone as a hermit. He died soon after still overwhelmed with anger and grief. 

Learning: The client carried a past life impression of feeling extremely angry whenever someone doubted or questioned him. He understood that he needed to learn how to cope with such a situation in a healthier way as in his past life anger lead to his own destruction. After this session, his anger subsided to a great extent.
