Do You Fear the Future?

Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavior Modification, and Past-Life Regression can help heal anxiety and fear of the future.

People’s nervous systems are no match for Google’s algorithms, designed to ramp up the amygdala’s fight/flight/flee response and nervous systems on “red alert.”  For instance, when you let your brain get hijacked by the news cycle, you lose 40% of your reasoning ability.

When my stepson worked for Google/YouTube, he said, “People at Google are nice, but the platform is pure evil. It makes its money by lying to people to keep them outraged.”

What to do? Keep calm. Focus on the moment and go on from there.

Past Life Regression can uncover events in the past that might bleed into this lifetime.

When tall, sandy-haired Peter called me for help, he said he’d always felt vigilant, anxious, and afraid.

He was only 22, and because his mother is a psychologist, he’d been on an array of anxiety medications most of his life. The meds dampened down his real emotions, but they hadn’t helped him deal with any of his fears.

Peter wanted to be a screenwriter, so he knew he needed to access his authentic emotions and be braver to succeed in Hollywood. But self-doubt, fear, and anxiety stopped him at every turn, and he felt overwhelmed, frustrated, and exhausted. He was desperate to change.

Born in Washington, DC, Peter’s parents worked for the US government in different capacities, and he was raised in comfort, security, and abundance. Because he is an only child and a late child, at that – his parents fall into the “hovercraft” variety — my first thought was that their anxiety about the safety of their only child might be the source of his near-crippling fear. But I was wrong, as we learned in his regression.

Peter was one of my A+ students, so in his first session, when I explained brain function to him and how his thoughts were reinforcing his anxiety, he learned to shout “stop!” to his own OCD, his obsessive-compulsive brain-looping and get control of his thinking.

He did the homework, learned to refocus his thoughts away from his fears, and began feeling relief. In his second session, he learned how to go deep down into his “hidden brain,” calm down his terrified “inner three-year-old,” and be kind to his angry, inner thirteen-year-old. But his feelings of anxiety persisted. When I did the regression in the third session, he was ready to investigate its origins.

In the past-life regression, after I led him down into a deep theta state, i.e., hypnosis, I asked him to walk through an imaginary door. I tapped his forehead and said, “Look at your feet.”

“They’re black!” he said. “I’m a boy; I’m five!   Wow!”

“Where are you?” I asked.

“I’m in Africa! I’m with my daddy!

“Is your daddy carrying anything?” I asked.

“He’s carrying a spear! We’re hunting.
“Are you carrying anything?”

“Yes! A stick!

And then everything shifted – he started to shake in terror.

“Oh, my God! I’m being dragged away! A lion got me! My leg! My leg! I’m in so much pain!!

“Float above!! I said, “Float above! You feel no pain!

Peter floated above and watched as the lioness dragged his body back to feed her cubs. Then he watched as his father, paralyzed with fear at seeing his son killed, simply slinked off and away from his tribe, never to return out of shame. But that left his wife wondering what happened to her son and husband.

I took Peter back to the beginning of that lifetime, and he saw that his mother was a childhood friend of Kelsey, a girl he’d known all his life. He’d always been in love with her but never let her know his true feelings because of his shyness. It made perfect sense because he saw the source of all those intense feelings. She was his mother in that brief lifetime.

When Peter saw the cause of his genuine fear and anxiety, he was able to let it go. That session gave him courage and made him brave enough to pursue his dreams.

We made other regressions, and in one of them, Peter saw himself in ancient Rome, standing on the podium in front of the Roman Senate.

“What are you doing there?” I asked.

“I’m lying to the people. It’s my job!”

He was rich but miserable in that lifetime because he hated what he did for a living. He was married to a woman who hated him and had children he didn’t care about. When I asked him to find his favorite slave, he gasped.

“It’s my father in this life!”

He died ashamed of his life and how he had manipulated and lied to the citizens of Rome.

So these days, it won’t matter how much money the techy Billionaire Boys Club makes in this lifetime; they will die and won’t die proud.

Like Peter, we all seem to come around again and again with the same group of souls. Some people say the same two hundred souls; some say more, some less. I vote with the Taoists who say: “Those who say don’t know. And those who know can’t say.”

For me? In my direct past lifetime, I was an entitled, wealthy Jewish German doctor. My wife in that lifetime was my best friend in high school. My best friend now was my daughter. When Adolf Hitler rose to power, I didn’t fight his evil. I paid no attention. I thought my money and my God would protect me. They didn’t – I died in Auschwitz.

Stay focused on what you can do at the moment. “Is everything okay these fifteen seconds?”  And if everything is okay, you can appreciate the beauty of “what is” and force your brain to feel enthusiastic. It changes your brain chemistry and keeps you calm.
