Unlocking the Sealed Jar : A Journey to Letting…
Today, a wonderful couple from America came to Tokyo for a session with Noah. Angelina and Sean, a couple in their late 60’s, have fascinating lives.
Angelina is a jewelty designer who splits her time between a luch, green home in upstate New York and a high-rise apartment in Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Sean, on the other hand, is an artist based in Philadelphia. In the past, he designed album coveres for legends like Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton. Even now, he occasionally takes on illustration projects upon request.
Both have been through divorces and have children and grandchildren. While they are not formally married, they spend most of their time together and describe their relationship as one where “being together feels most natural.”
Noah sat across from Angelina, and the session began.
“Angelina, about 10-12 years ago, you went through something deeply painful. Since then, you’ve closed off your heart,” Noah said.
Angelina’s expression immediately stiffened, and she looked down before speaking softly.
“Twelve years ago, my husband told me he had fallen in love with someone else and abruptly ended our marriage. I had thought we were happy and that our relationship was solid. To realize that it was all just my assumption…It was a marriage of 28 years.”
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Noah continued, “That must have been a shock. I see inside you, it’s as if you’ve sealed a jar of jam. Jam is sweet, isnt’s it? It represents the happy memories of you shared with your husband. But the sudden turn of events made it too painful to revisit those memories, so you sealed them away. At the same time, resentment toward your husband and the other woman lingered.”
Angelina nodded as she struggled to speak.
“I didn’t want to harbor resentment, but I just couldn’t let it to.”
Noah gently responded, “You are a person of strong pride. That pride made it difficult for you to forgive, and it also caused you to close off your heart. Additionally, there is a karmic pattern of betrayal and separation in your family line. Let’s work on cleansing that together.”
After some time of lceansing work, Noah spoke again.
“I see a ‘mouth’ within you. You had so much you wanted to say but couldn’t. Your pride hel you back. The mouth symbolized your desire to say but couldn’t.”
Angeline nodded slightly. “Yes, there were so many things I wanted to say, but I couldn’t. My husband was someone who also closed off his emotions. We ended up divorcing without ever really talking things through. Looking back, I regret not facing it properly.”
“That’s right. Because you couldn’t speak your true feelings, the emotions from that time are still within you. I see them as countless ’emotional beads’. Let’s work on cleansing each one of them.
What Noah referred to as “emotional beads” are the thoughts and feelings accumulated within a person. They appear like tiny particles and can weigh on the heart and body.
As they buried sadness surfaced, Angelina finally broke into tears.
“It’s okay to cry,” Noah said softly “Tears help wash away those pent-up emotions.”
Angelina let the tears flow freely, silently sobbing as the sadness she had suppressed was released in a flood of tears.
By the end of the session, Angelina’s expression had brightened, her face soft and radiant. She expressed her gratitude.
“I couldn’t open the jar of jam myself. I didn’t even want to. But Noah gently opened it and cleansed ir for me, and now I feeel so much lighter. I wasn’t aware I had been holding so much inside, but I’m sure there are many others like me. Thank you so much.”
A few weeks after Angelina returend to the Unites States, she sent us a message :
“Two weeks after returning home, I had an opportunity to meet my ex-husband and his wife. Honestly, I didn’t want to see them, but since we have children, it was unavoidable. Surprisingly, when I saw them, I didn’t feel any anger or resentment at all. On the contrary, I felt a sense of kindness toward his wife, and we ended up having a long conversation. I was amazed by the change in myself. It’s all thanks to Noah’s session. I am truly grateful.”
Upon hearing this, Noah said :
“Deep within every person’s heart lies immense love. When a wounded heart heals and sadness and resentment are let go, that love naturally comes to the surface.”
