A few years ago, I met Sachin, a young man from a traditional Sindhi family who was battling severe, unexplained chest pain.
He had seen multiple doctors, undergone endless tests and received conflicting diagnoses. Some suspected an undetected heart condition, others called it depression. A few even dismissed it as hysteria. Yet every scan came back normal.
For almost two years, Sachin collapsed from the intensity of his pain, unable to work, meet friends, or live his life. Depression medication only sedated him, dimming his natural spark.
When he heard about a hypnotherapy centre in Lucknow through his relatives, he decided to give himself and his life a second chance. Unlike traditional treatments, hypnotherapy promised to go deeper into the subconscious mind where old emotions and memories often remain trapped.
During his sessions, Sachin also explored holistic practices often offered at spiritual retreats in Lucknow, such as guided meditation. These supported his healing, helping him feel calmer and more connected with himself.
Sachin began to feel the shift. His chest pain reduced with every session and his anxiety started fading. Within weeks, his depression lifted without medication. For Sachin, hypnotherapy became more than treatment; it became his personal form of anxiety and depression treatment in Lucknow, rooted in self-discovery and emotional freedom.
The Four Layers of Wellness in Hypnotherapy
In hypnotherapy, we understand that wellness flows from inside out, beginning with thoughts, then emotions, then energy and finally the physical body.
When a physical symptom appears without a medical explanation, it often signals a stuck thought or emotion that has moved into the energy layer and finally the body.
The Heart Chakra Connection
Chest pain naturally led me to examine Sachin’s heart chakra — the energy centre associated with love, connection and emotional openness.
The heart chakra often becomes blocked after grief, betrayal or loss. In Sachin’s case, past relationships had ended abruptly, leaving him feeling unloved, abandoned and unsupported. Though he was currently in a happy relationship, unprocessed emotions from the past were still trapped in his energy field and his body was sounding the alarm.
Our minds don’t track time the way clocks do. The brain reacts to a 20-year-old breakup as if it’s happening right now, triggering the same emotional and physical responses.
When these experiences remain unresolved, we develop coping patterns and beliefs to survive but they can keep us stuck in a perpetual state of crisis.
How Hypnotherapy Helped Sachin Heal
Hypnotherapy places you in a relaxed state, allowing access to the subconscious mind, the storehouse of every experience from conception to present day (and beyond).
With Sachin, we dedicated one session to each past relationship. In each, his younger self processed the sorrow, fear of abandonment, and hurt. He expressed what he couldn’t say at the time — in a safe, private space.
After just a few sessions, Sachin began sleeping better, feeling lighter and enjoying his current relationship without the weight of old wounds. His chest pain reduced after each session and by the fifth, it was gone.
The Takeaway: Your Subconscious Holds the Key
Your subconscious mind doesn’t just store memories, it holds the key to your emotional, energetic and physical health.
When you release unresolved emotions, you free your body, mind and energy to align with who you truly are.
There Are A Few Frequently Asked Questions About Hypnotherapy and We Are Glad To Answer Them.
- Can emotions really cause chest pain?
Yes. When emotions like grief, betrayal, or stress remain unresolved, they can create tension in the body and block the flow of energy. Over time, this can manifest as physical symptoms, including chest pain, even if medical tests show nothing abnormal. - How does hypnotherapy help with unexplained chest pain?
Hypnotherapy helps by accessing the subconscious mind to uncover and release the root emotional triggers behind the pain. By resolving past traumas and changing limiting beliefs, the body can relax, and the symptom often fades naturally. - How many sessions will I need to feel relief?
This varies by person. Some clients experience significant improvement in 2–3 sessions, while others may need 5–7 sessions to fully release long-held emotions. - Is hypnotherapy safe?
Yes, hypnotherapy is a safe, non-invasive and natural process. You remain aware and in control at all times and your mind will only work on what you are ready to heal. - Can hypnotherapy heal both emotional and physical issues?
