Topic: Unexplained Phobias

There is this site I found whose author theorized that unexplained phobias have a metaphysical connection, ie, a person who fears water may have drowned in a previous life.  I can't remember the name of the site, but I do think it was on Montalk's list of links.

What do you think of this?

I have this unusual fear that suddenly appeared around 4th and 5th grade, when all this weird stuff started happening to me--the fear of insects entering body orifices, particularly the ears.  I haven't heard of anyone else having it.  I remember when I was a little girl, if a large insect like a wasp flew near me, I would clamp my hands over my ears and clench my mouth shut because of this odd phobia.

I have this other one--internal parasites, like tapeworms.  Nothing terrifies me more than something icky like a worm living inside me.  I have nightmares in which I cough up or vomit various parasites, from spiders to little white worms.

If there is some special reason behind this, I don't know what it is!  Maybe in another life I was infested with a parasite that crawled into an orifice.  ;p

Re: Unexplained Phobias

I too have a number of strange, unexplainable phobias with absolutely no experience I'm aware of to be cited as the origination. I often thought I was just weird and left it at that since I had no way of explaining it but in all honesty I'm sure there maybe some explanation if we just know how to find it. I'm interested in hearing what others have to say.

I once suggested we start a phobia thread wherein we list our phobias to see if ours are so unique afterall. I think it might be an enlightening experiment.

Re: Unexplained Phobias

It could be a past life thing, coming through in this life, so you could be onto something there.

One method you might wish to try, to get to the bottom of it would be to ask your Higher-Self for the underlying cause, you could ask something like "I now intend for my Higher-Self to show me why I have such a fear of (state your fear) and please help me see the underlying cause of it".

If you repeat this every day, eventually you'll just know where it came from.  It might save you much money too, rather than say going to a hypnotist or counselor to try to get some help.

Most people have no idea how much help you can get from your HS, and all you need to do is ASK, and keep on repeating the question (at least once a day) until you finally get your answer.   You can use this on just about any topic.

Re: Unexplained Phobias

hello mutant mouse,

i don't have an answer to "why" but here is an incredible lead on how to nuke them (including bad habits, fears, addictions, mysterious randoms pains, etc).  Its called EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique.  In short, its based on the principle of balancing the bodies meridains by tapping on them (in a certain order) when you are "tuned into" the problem.  here is the link.  www.emofree.com  there is a free manual to download and it super easy to practice on your self.

beginners with only the manual have a 70% success rate eliminating fears.  i'll roll dice on 70%.  EFT Masters work at around a 99% success rate.  i was so impressesd with my personal success with just the mannual i ordered all 40 DVD's.  that was over two years ago.

i helped my step mom with her intense fear of rats and mice.  she was incapacitated with fear over the smallest mouse...she was a 10 (1 being the lowest 10 being the highest level of fear).....we took it down to a 1 in two 15 minute sittings.  it staggered her.....40 years of fear...more or less done in 30 minutes.

take care and good luck, The Cracker

Peace From the East

Re: Unexplained Phobias

It need not necessarily be past life related. There are recurring phobias all over the world, "Spiders" for example, which I believe are buried in the subconscious and closely relate (archetypally) to traumatic experiences one may have experienced. Thus the fear arises in later life.
I have worked through my irrational fears by associating more and more with the object of the phobia. Eg, I allowed several spiders to nest in my room for a time... which ordinarily would have sent me into blind panic, but eventually I grew quite fond of the little fellows smile and now treat a spider as a guest in my house. Should it become a nuisance I simply capture it in a jar and release it into the garden.
