Astro-Music for Auditory Delusions

     ‘I want a thorough investigation…’, the woman almost shouted just as her husband tried to calm her down.

      I already had a briefing from him regarding the auditory delusions she was having. The fact of the  matter was that she heard conversations being carried out by her in-laws wherein her name was being referred to and a big scheme was being hatched to eliminate her from their family. This was reported even when these family members were not present in the area! Nevertheless, the bickerings were so real inside her mind that she was so confident that there were technological gadgets being used and she was being followed and marked as a part of a larger plot… Well. These are difficult circumstances for anybody. Medical knowledge classifies them as auditory (sometimes visual as well) delusion which appear rather real and the victim cannot come to terms with the fact that they were not real. They are in fact, very strong ‘occurrences in the mind’. But the Psychiatrists always suggest that even if the protest and counter was strong and abusive, deny them immediately and let the idea seep in as time passes. Experience suggests that the feeling eases out a bit as time passes…it is a difficult situation for those who are around! Astrologically speaking, the fifth house from Lagna or Ascendant, if occupied by Saturn and or Rahu, the individual has this habit of falling victim to delusions and bipolar activities. If, inside a transition (Graha Dasa) or transit (Gochaaram), these two planets have a significant bearing, these tendencies recur frequently. In the present case, the person was experiencing this owing to seven and half Saturn transit just hovering around having commenced recently and Raahu loitering around her sign (Rashi). 

     ‘ How well do you sleep?’, I asked. 

     ‘Not normally. Even if I sleep, I get to hear them from ground floor.’

      ‘Will you listen to music?’ ‘If it is smoothening, yes.’ 

     I gave them music to be heard whenever the mind was restless owing to disturbances and also especially before sleeping. It worked since this was a Raga based on the Anaahatha Chakra (near the heart) and the unwelcome vibrations just walked out!
