The Pianist on the Ship
During one of our healing sessions, I guided my client into a gentle hypnotic state to explore the memories held within her heart. As she traveled deeper into her heart, where memories are stored, an image unfolded: she was in the auditorium of a grand ship, much like the Titanic. The red hall, richly decorated in 1920s style, was filled with guests in tuxedos and elegant evening gowns, chatting and laughing.
Suddenly, our focus shifted to a slender, graceful woman in a white dress with a pearl necklace — the ship’s pianist, playing for the wealthy passengers aboard.
She then took a break from playing and moved toward the bar. She sat frozen on a bar chair, all by herself, and seemed deeply trapped in her mind. Her body language made it clear she was lonely. Her gaze was distant, fixed on something unseen.
I asked my client to sit beside her.
She was the same past-life persona who had appeared briefly in an earlier session but wasn’t yet ready to open up. Now, her second return felt purposeful. Her name was Ellie, short for Eleanor. Her return marked a turning point, leading us to the core of my client’s deepest struggles, and it was clearly meant to be the key moment of the session.
As we talked with Ellie and asked questions, it became clear that her life on the ship reflected the same struggles my client had been facing. She often worried deeply about her future, her loneliness, and the risk of poverty and dependence. She mentioned that her relationship with her father was distant, and they rarely saw each other. He offered little warmth, and his presence was a shadow rather than a comfort. Her mother was aloof and unreachable, making her relationships with others superficial. My client’s family dynamics in this lifetime were similar — the father was distant, and the mother was aloof.
At times, it almost seemed as if my client had been adopted — her parents appeared unaware of her emotional presence, and she once said she never felt she truly belonged. The parallel between the two lifetimes made it clear that this was the area in need of healing.
Ellie carried a constant fear of being alone. It clung to her across lifetimes, a heavy weight that tightened her chest and clouded her thoughts. Even the idea of solitude brought waves of panic, as if she might vanish into it.
At one point during the session, Ellie was overwhelmed by her fear of uncertainty. Even though she was surrounded by over a hundred people on the grand ship, she felt deeply alone. She wanted to start a family, but couldn’t trust anyone. She had built a wall around herself — a protective cage in which she was now lost. As I watched, she was overcome by fear and unable to free herself, so I stepped in.
I directed a steady current of calm toward her, channeling my intention to quiet the turbulence in her mind. I visualized the energy as a gentle flow moving through me and into the space around her. My focus was on dissolving the fear and untangling the knots I could sense in her heart. At the same time, I asked my client to pass on these words: “I am your future self. Whatever you have been through, I will carry it until it is resolved. You must trust and let go.” She embraced Ellie, reassuring her she was not alone.
As this was a recurring emotion that followed from the previous life, it needed to be healed for my client’s well-being in this lifetime. When she heard the statement about my client being her future self, Ellie wasn’t surprised at all. She already knew it. Ellie felt better but still carried deep worries about the future.
Ellie suddenly pulled out a necklace resembling a medallion from her pocket and handed it to my client. One side was embossed with flowers, while the other side had a mirror. Ellie must have felt a strong connection to my client to gift the necklace to her.
I then shifted the energy, much like tuning a radio to a clearer frequency, breaking her worries into fragments so they could not return. Soon, my client noticed Ellie begin to glow. Her breathing calmed, her shoulders relaxed, and the agitation faded, giving way to a visible stillness. Ellie became silent and no longer appeared to be in her trauma. Her body softened. The heaviness lifted from her, and she entered a deep state of stillness.
In that stillness, something remarkable happened. It was as if she had stepped outside the “self” that carried her fear across lifetimes. It became clear Ellie was healing as her image gradually faded. Ellie became half-light, half-memory.
I sent one final concentrated wave of energy — a quiet but powerful force — to dissolve what remained. Silence and peace settled in; the fear had lost all power. Ellie was gone as a figure, replaced by a beautiful glow. She had moved into another dimension where there is no pain, only peace.
All that remained from her was the medallion.
After Ellie’s release, the scene shifted magically as the session continued. My client found herself standing under a wide blue sky. A beautiful horse approached her from a distance. The horse stopped in front of her and asked her to caress its head. As her hand moved gently along his mane, she felt an immediate closeness, as if they had known each other for a very long time.
The horse lowered himself, inviting her onto his back. She settled onto him with ease — not as though mounting an animal, but as if returning to a familiar place. Together, they began to move, uniting as one, their steps unhurried, as the horse carried her forward into an endless expanse.
She described the moment as one of uniting with a loved one she had not seen in ages. Through the bond she felt with him, an inner knowing arose: he was her protector, as all animals are. By asking her first to caress him and then to ride, the horse was giving her a direct taste of trust — step by step. In doing so, he was dissolving the same stuck places that had followed her through lifetimes: the fear of loneliness and the fear of what lay ahead.
As they wandered together in perfect unity, waves of reassurance rose in her. The union gave her an indescribable sense of trust, leaving her more peaceful, calm, and safe than ever before. It was not only the release of fear that brought her to this place, but also a great reminder that she was never alone.
Ellie’s existential problems and their effects on my client seemed to have completely vanished, but how would this translate into her everyday life? When the session ended, she opened her eyes, calm and at peace, but she wasn’t sure how this would help her. She said she needed time to answer this.
Over the next few weeks, my client’s life began to change gradually. The fear of loneliness that once ruled her seemed far and powerless. What had felt unbearable no longer gripped her. She carried herself with quiet confidence, her relationships no longer strained by old patterns. With guidance and energy, her deepest fears had dissolved. My client’s past life as a pianist mirrored her struggles, but it also revealed her healing.
Another episode had been completed successfully, and I was glad it ended well. It reminded me how even a single session can open the way to resolving long-held issues.
