A, Woman, 50 years – "I had been experiencing insomnia for a couple of years. I took 5 sessions from Anshima and experienced relief from the first session itself. I now sleep like a baby! She is quick in identifying the root cause of the issue and resolving it. I wish her all the best!"
S, Woman, 40 years – "I haven’t been able to adjust with my mother in law since the time I have been married that is the past 25 years. I have done almost everything to please her but she never ceases to criticize me. I don’t feel loved. On working with Anshima, I realised Karmic roots from our past lives together. I could not only see how I had been a perpetrator. I could also feel strong empathy towards my mother in law. Now, I live my life with a lot of harmony and peace. I also see how the behavior of my mother in law has improved since my sessions with Anshima. Anshima is phenomenal in Karma resolution. Thanks, Anshima!"
H, Girl, 20 years – "I have been pursuing my CA exams and have not been able to get through the exam even after multiple attempts. This led to de-motivation and I felt like I should give this therapy a try. In my session, I regressed to a life time where I was a very renowned CA and had passed away in a plane crash. This gave me the reassurance that I had the soul knowledge of being a CA so I would be able to make it. This also gave me clarity of my soul purpose/ life purpose. Surprisingly, when I wrote my CA exam 6 months later, I was able to clear it. Thanks to Anshima for making this happen. I am so grateful to her."
D, Man, 30 years - "I was suffering from hypertension, stress, due to work pressure and heavy smoking, which was making me fall sick frequently. I came to about the healing treatment that changed the course of my life. There was no medication prescribed . The sessions started with past life regression, healing techniques and stress removal processes. I was recommended for about 10 to 12 sessions by Anshima, that lasted for three months, each week one session. The therapy was entirely new to me, unlike the regular meditation practice or traditional yoga. It was absolutely fascinating, refreshing and charming. After each session, I used to feel more energetic, younger and more stress relieved. It had managed to remove all the negative energy I was carrying with me, the cause behind the stress, depression and anxiety. I could then concentrate more on my work , found myself more active, more positive at my workplace , started getting better results and better opportunities. The smoking habit got reduced , came down to almost negligible. As a result, now I am enjoying a healthy , stress free life. One more magical thing happened during the treatment. Before the therapy, I was afraid of darkness. But, after the healing treatment, I was no more afraid of any darkness, shadows or lonely, haunted places. It was a great experience all together. A highly recommended therapy to people suffering from stress, anxiety."
K, Woman, 32 years - I happened to meet Anshima by a sheer stroke of luck. I was new to the city and one weekend I attended a workshop that she was hosting, called 'befriending our minds'. From start to end during the workshop, she had my attention. She really knew what she was talking about and gave very relatable examples. And the best part about her work- she called me post the workshop to take a feedback on how she could improve the content! It made me believe that she was really passionate about what she does. It was then that she mentioned that she takes personal therapy sessions as well. But these aren't the regular, run of the mill therapy sessions, that you can find at any therapist's office now a days. She excelled in past life regression therapy. It was hard to believe the concept at first, since educated, rational people are wired to think that this kind of therapy won't work. But I was going through some very stressful times and I was desperate to try anything that had the smallest of chance at helping me. And help it did!I cannot thank Anshima enough for helping me see the light at the end of the tunnel. She took regular sessions over the weekend and she helped me clear out a lot of emotional baggage that I did not even know I was carrying. Her methods are very unconventional and even though the mind has the tendency to discard anything that doesn't add up mathematically, her work helped me believe otherwise. It was seamless and really benefited me. She explained everything she did during the sessions and tried to make me as comfortable as possible. She was very detail oriented and tried to understand the root cause of my problems to ensure that isn't just addressing the symptoms. She also gave me customized self care work to do (journaling, earthing etc) that really helped my anxiety a lot. It was a very pleasant experience working with her, and I would recommend her therapy to everyone who is going through tough times in life!
S, Woman, 25 Years - "I got Anshima Ma'am's contact through Just Dial. I had severe issue of involuntary body movements. My hands and legs would start curling and moving on their own even at public places. I had spent enormous amount of money on going to the best psychiatrist of the city and my family savings had depleted completely because of this and had given me no results at all. I was very disappointed and felt like nothing would be able to change my life at all. Anshima Ma'am, seeing my condition, did not charge me a single penny for the sessions and did consecutive 12 sessions for me. The sessions were a mix of past life and inner child therapy. I was fine after the 12th session and felt like I could conquer the world. She has changed my life forever. She is God for me and my family. I wish her all the success in her endeavors."
K, 28, Male - "I consulted Anshima because I was struggling with too much meaninglessness in my life. I was bad spot. I had isolated myself, quit my job and felt stuck in life and on top of it I was self medicating with Marijuana all the time. Anshima made me see story of my life bit differently, I thought addiction was the main problem, but she made see this phase as an opportunity for spiritual growth. While I was in her program, I saw her as my spiritual mentor. She was kind and empathetic and helped me reframe lot of my issues and insecurities. It’s not that I have found my way now, but I feel closer. Smoking is reduced mainly because I feel I have rediscovered a spark in me and I am optimistic about my future. I am grateful for my time with her for that."
Krishna, 24, Male - I took the ‘I Heart Meʼ program by Anshima. It is one of the best things I have ever done.A few months ago, I was very confused, lost, feeling very anxious and I thought I need some help. At first, I was very skeptical about it. I was not sure if I needed it or I should take it. My expectation from this program was that I will come back to normal and gives me a direction out if it. I never expected itʼs going to fix and provide me answers about a lot of my already existing issues which I have been carrying with me for years. Coming to the details of the program, its a 15 week program with one session of 2 hrs per week. There is homework given every week which includes a lot of things/activities which helps you connect with yourself and understanding yourself better. For example, it involves creating different kinds of artworks, reading books, watching movies. It involves openly talking about the things that you have been ashamed about and hiding from the world. It involves initiating some important conversations which are due. It involves taking some space for yourself and acknowledging and respecting your feelings and react properly to them. During the session, we talk about the homework done during that week and then will be taken into trance where we address the unresolved issues. At the outset of it, all these things look like unrelated and you donʼt even understand why you do them. But, I saw great changes happening even though I donʼt fully understand why they are happening and some of them are not even direct consequences of my actions. I recently got a huge pay raise at work. Itʼs the first time I felt that I was rewarded the way I deserve to be at work. Things just fell in place. I had closures and had honest wonderful conversations with a lot of important people. To just give an example of the kind of changes I experienced, I cried after almost 10 years which I needed from a very very long time. It just happened one day during the program and I donʼt even know why it happened but just knew at that very instant that it was long due. I went on a trip to Europe after the program. It was great. I havenʼt felt so relaxed ever. I havenʼt felt this lighter and peaceful like I do right now in years. All my relationships are better than ever. I am more balanced than ever. In addition to all of this, it was a great experience working with Anshima. I was very afraid and anxious at the start. She made me feel very safe where I can be vulnerable and honest. She somehow gets the things about me even my closest friends fail to notice. Generally, I am very very uncomfortable around new people. But with Anshima, within 2 meetings, I felt like we know each other for years. It felt like she knows me already which made it easy for me to trust her immediately and get the best out of this program I would like to conclude this by saying that the thing I took most out of this program is the importance of self love and taking care of yourself. Itʼs more important than we think and thatʼs something I am never going to take for granted.
N, 40 years, Female - I have been going through certain patterns in my personal as well as professional life, results of which are painful and leave marks on mind and body. Eventually I started walking the path of spirituality and during this journey I met Miss. Anshima Gupta in one of her workshops in Bangalore. I could relate with the discussions happened during the workshop of understanding subconscious mind.
After few months when I was going through mixed emotions which I couldn’t handle by myself, consolation from friends and family didn’t help, that time meeting Anshima for the sessions helped me to stabilize.
During these sessions Anshima introduced me to various concepts that help to strengthen ourselves in every respect ( mind, body, soul) and therapies required to process our blocked emotions. The main focus was on identifying he root cause, realizing past baggage, connecting with myself closely and understanding my own mind and body. Anshima has always been very caring, supportive and helpful. Her ability to understand what I was going through at that time and to balance professional and personal connection is commendable.
D, 24 years, Female - (1) What was your presenting issue? Anxiety and severe karmic baggage with family members especially father and brother. This was causing a lot of distress in the relationships.
(2) How was your experience working with Anshima as the therapist?
Ans : Anshima has been the reason that I was 70% fine mentally by the time covid started. I was dealing with severe anxiety and decision making issues pertaining to my future . And by the time lockdown began , surprisingly I took it well . As a therapist , she has been very professional and clear about the aspects she wants to work on in my trance. She always had a chalked out plan for each session and was thorough about the things she will be working on . She was also very quick to understand where my present issues are stemming from . When my mother contacted her out of concern for me, she was very professional and maintained the privacy of my sessions . She was very strict about the homework she gave weekly, and that got me into the habit of journaling my thoughts and which body part gets affected when I am triggered by any trauma.
(3) Did you feel safe and held in her company?
Absolutely!! I know because of professional boundaries we cant be termed as friends, but for me shes been the closest friend who actually made me feel so comfortable about my anxiety. She made me accept my flaws and use them as a strength . She made me a stronger being who can stand up for herself finally after 25 years if people around her is bullying her . Also , I would like to mention, whenever, I felt discomfort in the trance she never forced me to continue. She worked at a pace that was comfortable for me.
(4) Do you feel she has the knowledge of the topics she covers?
Like I mentioned, she was always thorough and clear about what all aspects she is going to work on. Once she scratched the surface , then only she went deep into my subconscious mind. The inner child work that she did on me was phenomenal , so much so that eventually I started recognising my triggers , that where they are stemming from.
(5) How has the therapy helped you?
No more anxiety attacks , more acceptance towards my family members with whom I had major childhood traumas attached. I have became more close to my brother and father . I have become a stronger person in terms of understanding when to answer back my relatives (who have caused major childhood traumas in my life) . I have learnt to love and accept my body the way it is . The books and movies she asked me to read and watched have created major positive impact in my life . Stress is still there about work, but now I know how to work my way through it. The inner child in me feels more safe and secure and content at the moment . She took me (in trance) to the time I was few months old only and I felt truly loved in the presence of my brother and that love I can feel it now in the present . The therapy with Anshima changed me as a person 180 degrees in the past 7-8 months and I couldn’t be more thankful to her.
(6) Do you feel the cost of the sessions is justified?
I think Yes because she is very particular about exact timings and she never tried to charge me extra and this cost is as per the industry standards. Plus you get major returns on this investment.
(7) What are your thoughts and feelings about Hypnotherapy? Do you think it's valid, given the number of stories around it being "nuisance" as advertised by popular media? Any other thing that you would like to add?
I think it is a very underrated form of therapy in today’s scenario . Hypnotherapy plays a very crucial role especially when you can see that in life no matter how much you try to make it work with your loved ones, it doesn’t happen. There is a major karmic baggage and your subconscious mind needs to be cleared out . I highly recommend hypnotherapy to everyone I know and anyone facing major issues due to childhood traumas.
I think it is completely valid because you are the product of your past and if your past has caused traumas , you can never really move on until you clear out your past . It is a necessary form of therapy and I know a lot of people including myself, who have benefitted from this form of therapy. I think the society needs to give this a chance before negating it altogether.
(8) How has your physical health changed after therapy? Kindly explain in detail.
(8) My physical health in terms of how much I used to scratch my arms and chest has reduced drastically. On a scale of 100 , I can surely say that it has 85% been removed. And this was something I used to do when I got anxious and unconsciously I used to start scratching myself so much so that I bled. So this is definitely a breakthrough. My left toe finger was in a lot of pain from October , 2020-january 2020. And this pain aroused mostly when I was anxious about confronting my brother. I stopped wearing closed shoes and still it did not stop. Anshima has explicitly worked on this part and since past 7 months there has been no pain at all.
Another breakthrough is my periods cycle which used to be 60-72 days cycle till May , 2020 is now exactly 28 days cycle. I did the moon observing homework everyday and Anshima has worked on the part of me which got affected the most when I took any sort of pressure / anxiety in terms of family or work. And I have PCOD and thyroid so this is a major victory in terms of Health that I have experienced due to hypnotherapy.
Ruchika Bakshi, Senior Hypnotherapist and Past Life Regression Therapist at EKAA, India - "Anshima is a very dedicated and sincere therapist. She has profound clarity and deep understanding of the mind. Her genuineness and integrity are key qualities as a therapist where her main aim has always been to earnestly help people in every way she can. She has completed her training with me and is fully capable and ready to be a professional therapist. Her openness and understanding nature helps the client to become comfortable with her very fast .Thus contributes to healing. Trust and sensitivity are key qualities required to be a good therapist, both which she possesses."
Yuvraj Kapadia, Director and Teacher, EKAA, formerly CHII (California Hypnosis Institute of India) - "Anshima has been a student of mine in 2014 where she successfully completed our Five level Hypnotherapy curriculum. In the class, she came across as an attentive and curious student, keen to learn and simultaneously apply what she was learning to healing her own personal life journey. Since then, I have known of her various associations with altruistic causes such as educating the lesser privileged or carrying the benefits of therapy to the weaker sections of society. A sensitive human being who sees contribution to the upliftment of society as a vital duty, Anshima displays the requisite skills that should help her do justice to the profession of hypnotherapy. I wish her all the best!"
