"She story began in 1997, "Megan" came to see me with a conviction she had come into life to atone for sins committed in a previous incarnation. At 69 she was still hard at work in healthcare, after initial training as a nurse and midwife her career had evolved into alternative therapies, until she had become a respected teacher in her own right. She did a proportion of her treatments freely, whilst writing, researching, extending the boundaries of her discipline with new methods and attempting to develop shamanism. Megan worked equally hard to maintain a successful marriage and family life, achieving all this through 30 years of constant pain from arthritis. Still she felt it was insufficient recompense and wondered if her chart might show the nature of her previous transgressions and the future extent of her punishment. She had reason for believing she had been imprisoned and weeping and her crime was connected with a child."
