I had been struggling with my marriage with a lot of interference with my in-laws. My husband seemed to be tied to his mother (who I later learned had schizophrenia). My husband was also diagnosed with bi-polar disorder. In the midst of it all, my daughter was born and I felt really sorry that she had come into a world that is so unfair and full of suffering. I struggled through some jobs but everything was falling apart, including my relationship with my parents. I was angry - very angry. When the anger would calm down, I would feel depressed and helpless with no future. Any action that I took had tremendous down-sides which I could not accept. And since I had no income, I had no way to support myself independently. I was stuck and afraid. When I started working with Madhu, I realized that part of my “reality” was in my mind. It was simply the way I looked at and interpreted things. As I changed my perceptions, I could found greater peace within. With the tools that Madhu used and taught me, I could defuse things that were really “big” for me very rapidly. This was such a change from the way I would simply suppress the feelings and carry the burden with me all the time. Meanwhile, Madhu helped me release unresourceful energy patterns in many of my relationships, including my mother-in-law for whom I had intense resentment and anger. She called these “cords” i.e. ropes that keep us attached to old dramas and traumas. She would intuitively read the situation and that was a big help as it helped me understand my patterns as well as the patterns from the other side. As I cleared the energetic cords to various problematic relationships, I felt like I could breathe again. Simultaneously, I started becoming more self-aware using muscle testing (kinesiology) that helped me access beliefs that I simply did not know I had such as: - It is not good to be powerful - I feel guilty about being my own person - It is better to be a man rather than a woman. I realized that my conscious beliefs were a far cry from some of the beliefs that lay below the surface. I worked through those and found that each time, my world would change for the better. I was happier with myself and less affected by the things around me. We also worked energetically on strong emotions that were crippling me such as grief, loss and more. We also worked energetically on appreciating myself more and trusting myself. As I continued to use the tools on myself, my relationship with my husband, parents and child improved substantially. Coincidences started happening which helped release stress points. For example, even though I was not working, my husband suggested that my daughter should go to childcare. So now, my daughter’s high need for attention no longer wore me out. This also meant that I finally had some free time, which was my own. My parents, with whom my relationship was very strained, visited. At the end of that visit, I appreciated them so much more and they had substantially toned down their judgmental attitude towards me. I was finally getting some support. All in all, even when I was alone, I started feeling a lot better. When I would start getting depressed, I would be able to pinpoint the thoughts that were causing it and change them with the tools I had learnt. While I was not "perfect", I finally had ways within my control to change the way I felt. It was very freeing. It has been over a year since I started learning and using these energetic tools. When I compare myself to who I was a year ago and who I am now, the difference is simply remarkable.
