A mistrust of men
Raym’s client’s desire to uncover the reason for her mistrust of men leads to a past life of luxury and incarceration.

y apprentice and I observe my client Jane as she walks up the driveway to my healing studio,
not too steady on her feet. “It’s in her ankles…” “Which it?” “Whatever ‘it’ is she has come to see
you about.” “Very helpful!” I smile at young Jo’s
accurate perception of my client and her deliberately ambiguous answer. “Tell me more…” “I see restraints around her legs and I
feel rage and despair.” “Good, let’s see what the client
perceives.” After a brief interview, Jane lies in my
beautiful crystal mandala and enters an altered state easily. Immediately she
experiences discomfort in her ankles. My legs, I am pinned down and I feel
nauseous. She telepaths. Look at your legs, what do you
perceive? I feel caliper-like metal against my
ankles and leg straps on both ankles, like I am disabled… No that’s not quite right, I can see now, I am strapped to a filthy bed, big leather straps with brass buckles that chafe my ankles. They hurt. Where are you? I am in a lunatic asylum, some time
ago. I should not be here. How did you get here? I have no idea… Jane likes men, but she can only go so
far in an intimate relationship before she starts to have feelings of mistrust and betrayal, usually irrationally and without foundation. Now in midlife, having more or less resigned herself to being single, she had pretty much given up with men, until she came across my work. As a last resort, she has decided to get to the bottom of it through shamanic journey. Jane’s perceptions of her past life
are crystal clear but we need uncover the reasons behind her incarceration. Commanding her body to show us, we travel to the deep south of the U.S.A. It is the early 1800’s and Jane is the only daughter of a wealthy family, growing
up on a huge plantation. Life is good for the family who live very well off the hard work of their slaves. It is a different time and a different
sensibility; by their standards they treat their slaves well. They have days off, they are fed well and they are only whipped when they are insubordinate or try to escape. The house slaves, cooks, cleaners
and nannies are kind to the child that was Jane and she becomes close to a few of them. Shielded from the more severe degradations they experienced, she does not trouble herself about the rights and wrongs of slavery; they live a comfortable life because of it. Jane grows into a young woman, not
too well educated (as prospective wives did not need to be), but reasonably smart, perceptive and able to run a big household. As a solid looking girl from good stock, she is an acceptable marriage prospect for the right man. Jane’s past life self has romantic ideas
about her future husband as a selection of potential suitors visit the house. But romance is the last thing on her father’s mind when he finally choses a suitable suitor. A lucrative business deal with a wealthy older man in need of a young, healthy wife who can bear him children finalises his decision.
