Phobias and how spirit guides help us
... A recent client who we will call Sara, at the age of 20 suddenly became very afraid of heights. In our pre-talk (discussion prior to the regression session), it was clear that there was no basis for this fear from any experience Sara had in this lifetime. By knowing of her phobia we were able to guide Sara to the "point of entry" that actually created this fear. What she discovered was that in 1728 at the age of 20, she was thrown from a castle tower. Her husband believed that she was in love with another man and in a jealous rage, he pushed her to her death. She was innocent of this accusation, yet the emotional impact of being unjustly accused, and the traumatic fall, was so intense that it followed her into this life.
It was not surprising to us that at the age of 20 in this life, she again slipped back into that same anxiety each time she crossed a bridge or looked down from a high place. This is known as a "past life carry-over" which is simply the soul remembering a past experience, where the conscious mind misinterprets that vague memory as a current possibility. By consciously seeing the connection, from past to present, we better understand the origin of the fear. That conscious connection provides the realization of truth to put an end to a fear that has no basis today. Then healing begins.
During Sara's hypnosis, after her traumatic death in that lifetime, she joyously went to the Other Side. She was met by her Spirit Guide as well as loved ones that had passed-on before her. Her Guide encouraged her to let go of the fear by explaining that she had actually charted that experience for her soul’s perfection. Sara was overwhelmed by the love, the knowledge, and the power that emanated from her Spirit Guide. She now knows, soul deep, that her Spirit Guide is always with her and that she is never alone.
Since Sara’s past-life regression, her acute fear has decreased to a level where she no longer avoids bridges or high places. She is able to live a more normal life because of the understanding and healing that came from connecting with her past.
