The Emotional Wounds We Carry From Lives We Don’t Remember

Some patterns feel older than our memories. When recurring symptoms, looping breakups, and nameless dread don’t match our life story, we start asking different questions. I sit down with author Chris Nielsen to trace a decade-long journey from chronic, unexplained illness to holistic healing and past-life regression—and why the most powerful answers arrived when she stopped chasing labels and listened for origins.

Chris opens up about early health struggles that defied clean diagnoses, the teacher who first linked body, energy, and emotion. We explore how a session actually works, why it isn’t about celebrity pasts but about unfinished emotions, and the “inner equation” that moves healing from insight to embodiment: understand, discover the why, accept, and forgive. Along the way, we unpack practical signs you might be carrying older wounds—phobias with no cause, pains medicine can’t explain, nightmares, and relationship patterns that refuse to shift—and how multiple roots across time and childhood can stack to keep you stuck.

Chris also shares why she wrote about the inner life of Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, not to glamorise a genius but to spotlight universal human lessons: the inner child and fear of abandonment, purpose and free will, the weight of family beliefs, depression, love and its limits, and how sudden, traumatic endings can echo forward until they’re seen and resolved. 

We close with a gentle guided meditation by our host The Gentle Yoga Warrior to gather wisdom, integrate it like stardust, and return to the present with steadier breath and a softer heart.
