Ask simple questions to guide your client to explore various aspects of the experience. Such questions can open worlds of wisdom. Explain to the client that, in a first session of processing a particular past life, one usually gets an initial understanding which is to be deepened and widened by further association and, especially, by application. Those expanded insights are like bonus gifts or compound interest from a savings program. It happens occasionally.
Little pieces fit together to reveal a vast panorama of the soul's experience.
In subsequent session, the client will begin to feel more comfortable with the work. It is quite possible for the client to be aware in the present time and, yet, to be continuing to process the past life. During the memory or re-living part of the session, the client can be aware, simultaneously, of both the past lifetime and the current life. Most clients immerse so deeply into a past life that they need a few minutes for re-orientation into the present. More information might come.
