# The Shepherd's Heart: Finding the Love That Was Always There
# The Shepherd's Heart: Finding the Love That Was Always There ## The Session's Focus The client came into this session carrying real pain from her marriage — her spouse's extramarital affair had brought her deep humiliation and hardship. Through that difficult chapter, a handful of people had stood by her with unwavering support, and she wanted to understand who they truly were. She also carried a close, tender bond with her father, who had since passed away, and hoped to reconnect with that connection during the session. ## Dropping into Trance Being a highly visual person, the client moved into deep trance almost immediately. ## The Past Life: A Shepherd on the Mountain The first scene that emerged was of a shepherd, high on a mountainside, searching for a goat that had wandered off and gotten lost. When we moved him forward to his home, his wife was there — waiting, and upset, because he was impotent and unable to give her children. (This soul, we would later recognize, is her current-life husband.) Moving further ahead, the scene shifted to his father's cremation — the same soul as her father in this current life. He felt profound sadness and loneliness in that moment, made heavier by the fact that his wife had already left him by then. The friends who had stood so closely by him through that life were the very same souls who support her now. The learning from this life was clear: focus on what truly matters, and give love freely to all. ## Meeting the Subconscious The Subconscious (SC) was called in and addressed her questions about her close friends directly — revealing that they are her spirit guides, present in this life to protect and guide her, just as they had stood beside her in the life before. ## The Healing Work A body scan followed, and the SC drew attention to a soft glow within her heart — a sign of the immense love she carries inside her, love that is waiting to be shared more openly with the people around her. --- *Session details are shared with the client's permission.
