The Mindsleep Treatment

According to Malhotra, the theta-delta bridge (read heavy trance) is actually the state of nat-ural healing. Once the mind reaches that state, a neural wave therapist, provided he/she is also in the same state, can dig out your core beliefs and start healing them. Core beliefs could be any-thing— from feelings like “I am unloved or undeserving” to more detailed emotional or mental problems.

But isn’t that what a hypnother-apist also does, I ask. “A hyp-notherapist basically gets to the beliefs and superimposes them with others. Neural wave therapy, on the other hand, roots out that core belief. Hypnotherapy takes a lot of time to hammer a different belief, whereas neural therapy takes just one session,” counters 45-year-old Malhotra, who claims to be the sole practitioner of this therapy in the country.

A trained gemologist, who’s been dabbling in various alterna-tive therapies for about 30 years now, Malhotra devised this one after “working out the limitations of various other therapies”.

For me, however, it is hard to trust this in the age of alternative quickies that come dime-a-dozen. But Malhotra assures me that his therapy is scientific and based on the principles of quan-tum physics.

“What’s the matter with you?”—we all faced this question so many times, but have grappled with the answers. “We convert this matter into a wave and put a new matter in its place,” he says. By now my mind is reeling with all the technical mumbo-jumbo. So I decide to go in straight for the therapy, which, as Malhotra promises, can show me the true “path”.

So as I sit and shut my eyes, I get random flashes from everyday life, but slowly I begin to relax. While this is happening, Malhotra, sitting right across me, gets a vi-sion.

“I see an old lady, about 55 years old, slightly bent, with her sari’s pallu pulled over her head. Who is she?” he asks. “Could be my dead grandmother,” I tell him. But I wasn’t even thinking about her.

Malhotra, however, insists that people and events from the past are etched into the photo album of our memory. Some we are aware of, but most get relegated to our subconscious.

The past, I am told, basically af-fects us in a particular way. First, any incomplete relationship or inci-dent leads to pain. This pain makes them react in a certain way to the things around them.

But while asking these ques-tions from the past, Malhotra has to know the truth. And to judge the truth, he needs his patient to do some exercises. “These exercises help a therapist know if what you are telling is true or not. While your emotions can interfere with your verbal responses, they can’t do so with the system response,” he says. Then we start talking about mundane things of life as he urges me to recall, to connect.

As I begin to get into the mode, I realise that we are what we are because of our experiences. Once we come to terms with these , the problems associated with these will begin to unfold. But then the caveat: A therapist can show you the path, it is you who needs to walk it.
