Everything There Is to Know on Fears & Phobias

Radiant Flow therapists believe that everything in life has an origin. Since phobias lack a clear present-day cause, we may need to look further back in time for answers, particularly to past lives.

In the paper “Phobias in Children Who Claim to Remember Previous Lives”, Dr Ian Stevenson explores the possible connection between phobias and the manner of death in a previous life. He notes, “In a series of 387 children who claimed to remember a previous life phobias occurred in 141 (36%). The phobias nearly always corresponded to the mode of death in the life of the deceased person the child claimed to remember. They usually manifested between the ages of 2 and 5, and sometimes the child showed the phobia in early infancy before it had begun to speak about a previous life. The phobias did not derive from imitating another member of the family or from any postnatal traumatic experience. They seem to require some paranormal explanation of which, however, reincarnation is only one.”

This idea has also sparked discussion among Quora members, who have considered the possibility of such a link.

While the notion of a past life death contributing to a present-day phobia may seem unconventional, we urge readers to approach this subject with an open mind and explore the evidence. Numerous anecdotal accounts suggest a possible connection between phobias and past life traumas. If traditional therapy does not resolve the phobia, it may be worth considering alternative and less conventional approaches.
