A Past-Life Story

"I want to thank you for curing my fear of fire"

"Jackie" was interested in experiencing a past life regression. After being guided into a relaxed state, she went to a lifetime as a pioneer girl, about 12 years old, living in a small village somewhere near New England. Her village was attacked by Indians and burned down. She and her family ran into the woods but were found and killed. She experienced some deep emotion as the details unfolded, and we did healing work to resolve the trauma. When the regression was finished, Jackie didn't really know why that story had emerged. She couldn't make many connections with her current life.

An hour later, she called and told me, "I want to thank you for curing my fear of fire." Apparently, she'd always been uncomfortable around flames. She had a gas range in her house and wouldn't even use it, preferring to cook on a small electric hot plate. I didn't even know about her fire phobia. But after the regression, she had gone home and suddenly felt that she could light the burners - and she did. She even lit a candle! Her fear of fire was gone.

In her words (from a follow-up call months later),

"It was strange. After the regression, I just walked into my house and went right to the stove and turned it on! I'd always been so afraid of my house burning down. But after I saw it burn down in the past life, I thought that maybe that was a memory instead of a premonition. And I've been fine ever since, I cook on the gas flame every day! What is interesting to me is that I didn't come in to work on the fear of fire, so I had no expectations or anything. I wasn't even thinking about it. The fear just went away."
