Pain in abdomen traced to previous birth

A 20-year-old girl presented with recurrent severe abdominal pain labeled as psychogenic and ridiculed. When no cause for pain was found, she was hypnotized and found that she was brutally stabbed in the abdomen in her previous birth, experiencing similar pain and relief of symptoms thereafter. 

Ms. RLB, a 20-year-old female, was admitted to the hospital with severe recurrent pain in the left lower abdomen, colicky in nature, and lasting for 5-10 minutes, radiating from loin to groin for the last 7 months. She was admitted to several hospitals and treated initially as renal colic but later admitted under psychiatric care. Physical examination was normal except for thoracolumbar scoliosis, which was confirmed in X-Ray spine. Intravenous pyelography (IVP), urine examination, ultrasound abdomen, and MRI spine were normal. She was referred to me by a neurosurgeon and diagnosed with "Somatoform Pain disorder." All her medications were stopped, and she was treated with a placebo during pain with transient relief. Due to the persistence of pain, it was planned to start hypnotic regression to explore her childhood for any traumatic events. 

On the first day of the trial hypnotic session, she saw a dense forest, long trees, and a beautiful waterfall. She was a 13-year-old girl wearing blue pants and a brown shirt. Suddenly, she became tense and said, "I am walking through a road, someone is chasing me. There is a big road and buildings on both sides. He is still behind me." "I am walking through the road. One van is coming. There are people; they want to harass me. They are thugs. I am going, but the van has stopped. One black man with a belly is standing on the roadside with a hat. He wants money from me; they caught me. I don't know what they want; they are asking for money." She was in distress, and I had to go to see patients; hence the procedure was terminated. 

On the second day, immediately after inducing trance, she started floating in a soft white cloud. She visualized Lord Krishna, Swamy Vivekanand. She started flexing her leg and told she had come inside her mother's womb. After birth, she recapitulated her childhood as a lone girl. She was not happy during her adolescence, staying at home, but happy at school with her friends. 

On the third day, she witnessed her tragic life in Varanasi, India, as a princess in 500 BC. "My father was King Brahmadatta. I was wicked, greedy for money, and wanted jewelry. But I helped the poor with money. Mahamantri (Prime Minister) used to steal things for me. I had one brother. I died at 16; Mahamantri poisoned me because he wanted money. 

On the fourth day, she explored details of Varanasi life and after. 

On the fifth day, immediately after induction, she went up. "Going up cannot stop, there is a white ring, - White bright, Gods are there, going up – Krishna is there he loves animals. "I am 21 years old; my parents are English; they lived in India for a long time and now in Sri Lanka. I am going through a forest; they are chasing me, catching me, and trying to kill me; they have killed me." Her abdominal pain reappeared, and she was in similar distress. "I am going up; he has got me killed for money. I never wanted to marry him; he is a bad person; they have hit on my back and chest." 

 After the session, she felt relaxed. I told her the story of killing and went to OP till 7.30 pm. Came back from OP; mother was waiting, and after telling the story, she told me that RLB was born with a large birthmark over the left side of the lower abdomen and left scapular region. The mother was very worried that she would never be able to wear a sari. Slowly it has faded away. Her pain was exactly what she experienced in the back, chest, and abdomen due to beating and stabbing. 

 On the sixth day, she was revisiting her last life and witnessing death. "Smith, my father, and Mother Sarswati Indian; he came to India on a ship in 1930. I took birth in India 1961 and came to Sri Lanka after my mother's death during my brother's birth. Mother is from Varanasi; she is in a higher plane. Brother is Roger Bob Smith; he was my younger brother's son in Varanasi. "He is a bad man Froman after me; I go to the Buddhist temple, Father is in Hantana in a Bungalow, I go to Hantana Hotel. I study at Colombo University. Studied in Girls high school Kandy." "A man chased me; he was also there in Varanasi; he poisoned me; I stayed in Kadawatha. He killed me because I did not want to marry him and like to go to Buddhist temple." 

 Her symptoms were totally relieved following the session. It was not only relief of her symptoms, but what she taught during these sessions was more interesting.
