A Lesson from a Golden Soul
Nacho Romón (Spain)
Abstract – This case study explores a notable instance of transpersonal therapy involving a grieving medical doctor, Antonio, who experienced profound emotional healing following the perceived spiritual manifestation of his deceased spouse. The session, initially marked by scepticism and resistance, evolved into a deeply transformative encounter when the patient’s late wife appeared in a visionary form—a radiant golden sphere—and initiated a spontaneous and emotionally charged dialogue.
The therapeutic process combined elements of intuitive perception, guided communication, and symbolic ritual, enabling the patient to confront unresolved grief, release a binding “eternal love” pact, and ultimately facilitate the soul’s transition into the light. The intervention illustrates the potential for non-ordinary states of consciousness, intuitive resonance, and spiritually integrative practices to foster psychological and existential healing in cases of complicated grief.
The experience also led to a six-year collaboration between the author and the patient in an integrative care setting for chronically ill individuals, underscoring the relevance of spiritual dimensions in holistic medical practice. This case contributes to growing evidence in the field of integrative and transpersonal regression therapy regarding the efficacy of spiritual-symbolic engagement in addressing emotional trauma and facilitating post-loss transformation.
Keywords: Transpersonal regression therapy, lost souls, non-ordinary states of consciousness, spirit release.
The Case
The story you’re about to read is one of the most surprising and exceptional experiences I’ve had in my practice. What surrounded this moment felt almost magical — not only because of the extraordinary manifestations that occurred, but because my perception of the spiritual world that day was perfectly aligned.
Nearly ten years ago, on an otherwise ordinary afternoon, I received a call from a friend. He told me about Antonio, a 58-year-old physician whose wife had passed away just a year after they were married. Her death had left him devastated. Since then, he had lost his will to live. Despite trying various therapies, nothing helped. My friend urged me to see him — urgently — and I agreed.
In the three days between that call and Antonio’s visit to my office, I reflected often on how to approach the session. Antonio would be the first doctor I had ever treated — and doctors, in my experience, are usually much more grounded, more sceptical. To complicate matters, Antonio hadn’t come of his own volition. He was referred by someone else, which often makes the work of connecting with the soul more difficult. These therapies only work if the individual is open and willing to participate.
I had a strong sense that his wife’s soul hadn’t crossed into the light — that she was staying close to him, unwilling to leave him in his suffering. But how could I help Antonio understand this? That question haunted me for days.
When the day finally came, Antonio entered my office — and with him came something I had never seen before. It was the soul of his wife, manifesting as a golden sun, slightly larger than a soccer ball, floating about two meters behind him, level with his head. The sight was stunning. I said nothing.
Antonio sat down stiffly across from me — arms and legs crossed, brow furrowed, body language closed. It was an even more difficult beginning than I had feared.
For the first twenty minutes, he barely spoke. I tried, cautiously, to explain the work we’d be doing. I knew that if I spoke too plainly, he would likely walk out, thinking me mad. So, I treaded carefully. But nothing was working. His eyes were guarded, his energy withdrawn. Later, Antonio confessed that during those moments, he was thinking — to put it politely — that he didn’t care about a single word I was saying. Then, just when the session felt hopeless, something extraordinary happened.
That golden sun — his wife’s soul — reappeared, now directly behind him, between his back and the chair. It had grown three or four times in size, its surface shifting with light, tiny sparks radiating from it. As I watched, transfixed, Antonio suddenly let out a cry of alarm and bolted upright.
“What’s happening?!” he screamed.
Startled at first, I calmly replied, “That’s what I was going to ask you.”
“My back is burning!” he shouted, eyes wide with fear.
In that instant, two radiant arms emerged from the golden sun and embraced him at chest level. Immediately, his expression transformed. He leaned back again, this time with wonder and peace softening his features.
From that moment on, caution was no longer necessary.
I explained to Antonio what was happening — that his wife had been present since he arrived, and that she wanted to speak with him. I asked him to lie back and close his eyes. Almost instantly, he began to hear her.
That day, not only did I see Nadia’s soul — I also heard her messages. Communication with spirits typically occurs telepathically, without spoken words. But to avoid overwhelming Antonio, I asked him to voice his questions aloud, and to repeat back what she told him. This also allowed me to guide the conversation and gently challenge anything he might leave out.
Here is an excerpt from the dialogue that followed:
________________________________________
Nadia (N): Hello, husband.
Antonio (A): Hello, my love… (sobbing)
N: I’ve watched you since I left, so broken and disheartened. That’s why I’ve stayed. I couldn’t bear to leave you in such pain.
A: I miss you so much. I can’t live like this… without you, nothing means anything anymore. (crying)
N: You need to understand — death does not exist. Our soul lives on beyond the body. We’ve lived many lives together already, and we will again. That’s why we recognized each other instantly when we met. This is not our final journey together.
A: My love… (crying)
N: When the body dies, we return to the Source — the place all souls come from — to reflect and rest. But I’ve remained to help you heal… and to dissolve the pact of eternal love that we made.
A: I will love you forever!
N: For the soul, a promise of eternal love binds us across lifetimes. But if in the next life we don’t meet, or our love is impossible, we won’t be free to love anyone else. Souls must be free. We will recognize each other again — but now, we must release the bond that could limit us.
A: No… I will love you forever. (crying)
________________________________________
I was deeply moved. Nadia was saying everything I had hoped to convey — and more.
At first, Antonio resisted. Letting go felt unbearable. But gradually, Nadia helped him understand. She explained she needed to rest, to return to the light — and that their pact must be released for both their sakes. Through tears, he finally agreed. I then guided them through a ritual to gently dissolve that sacred bond and say goodbye.
In my practice, I often accompany sessions with live piano compositions that I create specifically for healing. Strangely enough, a week before this session — even before I received the call — I had composed a new piece. Its theme? The farewell of two soulmates. That day, for the first time, I played it during a session. As I did, I realized it had been written for them. The music carried their pain, their parting, and the peace that awaited on the other side. When I finished playing, Antonio’s face was serene. I suggested we send Nadia to the light. But before we did, he whispered a final question to her.
I couldn’t hear what he asked — but I did hear Nadia’s response: she burst into joyful laughter. I asked Antonio to share the question. He wiped his eyes and smiled.
“A hundred times in life I asked her the same thing,” he said. “And every time, she just laughed — never answered.”
Then he turned to me and asked, half-jokingly, how I knew what her answer had been.
Finally, we said our goodbyes. The room fell into a deep, sacred silence filled with love. When Antonio opened his eyes, he said he felt changed. In the days that followed, his joy returned. He rekindled his dreams, resumed his work, and eventually opened his heart again to love — just as Nadia had wished.
I later dedicated that composition to them — to her. I named it after the luminous soul who had come not only to rescue the man she loved, but to awaken in him a deeper understanding of the spiritual nature of life.
That man — the first doctor I ever treated — was so moved by the experience that he invited me to work with him. We collaborated for six years on an integrative medicine project supporting chronically ill patients, especially those with cancer.
There, too, miracles happened.
But that is another story.
* Editor’s Note
Nacho Romón’s earliest memory of his soul’s unique abilities dates back to when he was just three years old. Surrounded by a palpable energy he instantly recognized, he was certain he would win every prize in a Christmas fair raffle. And he did—claiming all three prizes, while over a hundred other participants looked on in astonishment. Throughout his life, whenever he has felt that same energy, he has consistently won drawings and raffles—sometimes by intuitively reading the minds of those selecting the winning numbers.
From an early age, Nacho’s mother paid close attention to what she called his “strange” perceptions. According to her, when Nacho was only nine months old, he consciously helped save her life during a near-fatal haemorrhage caused by a pregnancy with placenta previa. She became his steadfast support in a world often unfamiliar—and uncomfortable—with the spiritual realities he experienced.
At the age of eight, Nacho saw his first “lost soul”: a woman in a nightgown who appeared in front of him—later identified as his paternal grandmother’s sister, someone he had never heard of before. Since that day, Nacho has encountered and worked with over 2,000 lost souls, including cases involving poltergeist phenomena.
Although he had always seen people’s auras, at the age of nine he began seeing them in photographs. One day, he saw a black-and-white newspaper wedding photo in which one person’s aura appeared yellow—an unmistakable sign of severe illness. He told his mother, who knew the individual and insisted they were healthy. Three months later, that person died. Over the following months, he made similar observations about three more people, all of whom died shortly thereafter.
Nacho understood that this had nothing to do with him—it was simply his ability to read what people’s souls were already expressing. This capacity, though at times emotionally difficult, remained with him. In one particularly painful case, he sensed advanced cancer and metastases in a patient’s energy field weeks before a formal diagnosis was made. She passed away within a month.
After a period of calm in his early adulthood, another turning point came at age twenty-six. Without consciously intending to, Nacho healed his wife of a chronic illness she had endured for thirteen years. Trained in mathematical economics, he struggled to comprehend what had happened. As he has since said, at the time he would have laughed at anyone suggesting he could heal with his hands. And yet, to date, Nacho has helped people recover from skin cancer, stroke-induced paralysis, and a range of other physical conditions through energy-based work.
In 2005, following his training as a regression therapist, Nacho’s soul awakened even deeper memories—abilities carried from other lifetimes. He began composing music spontaneously on the piano, and working remotely with lost souls and energetic imprints in people and physical spaces. These abilities, he now teaches as part of his regression therapy training program.
In Nacho’s words: “We are all souls having an earthly experience, and these abilities are part of the Soul’s essence—they only need to be trained.” His students, by the end of their training, often find themselves capable of what many would consider miraculous.
