Case #5 - PLR and Pteromerhanophobia

Pteromerhanophobia  or fear of flying may be a distinct phobia in itself, or it may be an indirect combination of one or more other phobias related to flying, such as claustrophobia (a fear of enclosed spaces) oracrophobia (a fear of heights). It may have other causes as well, such as agoraphobia (especially the type that has to do with fear of open spaces). It is a symptom rather than a disease, and different causes may bring it about in different individuals.


The fear receives more attention than most other phobias because air travel is often difficult for people to avoid.  A fear of flying may prevent a person from going on vacations or visiting family and friends, and it can cripple the career of a businessperson by preventing them from traveling on work-related business.


The fear of flying may be created by various other phobias and fears: 
* fear of crashing which most likely result in death.
* a fear of closed in spaces (claustrophobia), such as that of an aircraft cabin
* a fear of heights (acrophobia)
* a feeling of not being in control
* fear of vomiting, motion sickness can make the person vomit, thus making flying hard.
* fear of having panic attacks in certain places, where escape would be difficult and/or embarrassing (agoraphobia)
* fear of hijacking or terrorism
* fear of turbulence
* fear of flying over water or night flying


A previous traumatizing experience with air travel or somehow connected to flying can also trigger a fear of flying. 


Rahul* a 13 year old young man was brought to me by his parents due to his fear of travelling in an aircraft. As the family was bases in U.S. and travelled to India at least once a year to look up  the aging elders, this travel initially was done by sedating Rahul, but as he started growing up was becoming a difficult proposition.


On being regressed, Rahul found himself in Europe in the year 1934 as a successful businessman, who used to travel a lot all  over Europe. During the course of one of these travels, he had to take a flight from London to Paris for concluding a business deal. However, the flight never reached Paris and crashed into the sea taking him and the other passengers down with it.


His parents subsequently a couple of months later called me to tell that Rahul now seemed to have got over his fear and could now travel by air without any problem.

Case No.4 - PLR and Topophobia

Phobia , derived from the Greek word  φόβος - Phóbos, meaning  fear  is a type of anxiety disorder, usually defined as a persistent fear of an object or situation in which the sufferer goes to great lengths in avoiding.  In the event the phobia cannot be avoided entirely the sufferer will endure the situation or object with marked distress.

It is generally accepted that phobias arise from a combination of external traumatic events  and internal predispositions. Many specific phobias can be traced back to a specific triggering event, usually a traumatic experience at an early age. It is believed that the brain chemistry combined with life-experiences is one of the factors playing a major role in the development of phobias.

Among the various types of phobias, is Topophobia, which represents the fear of certain places or situations. The origin of the word topo is Greek- meaning place.

Sheila* a young mother, came to me with an affliction towards Taj Mahal. Though she had so far never visited the place, the mere thought of it used to cause her immense discomfort, and she was interested in knowing the reason for this.

On being regressed, she found herself as a young man in the year 1632 in Agra, where she was one of the labourers brought in from various surrounding places, Jhansi in her case, for the construction of the Taj Mahal. Through the next fifteen years all she did on a daily basis was carry huge stone in the construction site. That to suffering immense misery and pain throughout the period of her stay. Finally, when she was incapable of doing any meaningful labour, she was sent back where she found the rest of her family since dead. Subsequently she also died a short while later.

Case Study 3

A lot of people suffer from a fear of losing someone in a relationship. There have been so many cases, where people do not find a rational as to why they have this fear. Often, even after going through various treatments, and psychologists, they still are not able to get rid of this fear, and this at times leads to a case of extreme possessiveness on their part.

Mrinalini* was one such case who came to me for Past Life Regression and help. She was under the constant fear of losing her children, which when they were younger made her go paranoid if she did not see them inside the house or for a period of time. As the children grew older, they started resenting this attitude of their mother as besides other thing restricted their movement and life.

On being regressed into one of her past lives, she found herself belonging to a very rich family, where her children were kidnapped and despite all efforts could not be traced. It was only with the arrest of one of her husbands competitors and enemy that the crime was solved and the mutilated bodies of her children recovered.

Once confronted with this, she was able to come to terms with the situation in her present life.

Case Study 1

Radhika*, an executive with a MNC suffered with a case of extreme claustrophobia. She found it extremely difficult to stay in a closed room, travel in lifts or attend parties where there were a number of people present.

She visited my clinic to see if I could help her rid of her phobia so that she could lead a normal life.

 On being regressed she found herself in a village in Rajasthan. At the age of 20 she fell in love with a boy from the adjoining village who unfortunately was not of the same community, and hence neither did her parents or the village elders approve. Despite this she was adamant to marry the boy and threatened to elope.

 One night, her father and elder brothers caught hold of her and took her out to the fields where they buried her alive.

After this, when Radhika got over her session of Regression Therapy she was able to conquer her phobia and lead a normal life once again

Agoraphobia and Past Life Regression

Agoraphobia, the fear of open space, situation, activity that makes a person want to avoid, comes from the Greek word “agora” which literally means marketplace, plus the word phobia generally means fear. Combining these two words would then give you “fear of marketplace” or anywhere out of your comfort zone. It is a condition which develops when a person begins to avoid spaces or situations associated with anxiety. Typical "phobic situations" might include driving, shopping, crowded places, traveling, standing in line, being alone, meetings and social gatherings. No one enjoys having a panic attack. And no one enjoys living with the fear that they might have one (Agoraphobia). No amount of conscious effort or willpower can eliminate a phobia or actual panic attack because the root of the problem is at the unconscious level of mind. The magic in overcoming agoraphobia is reprogramming your subconscious mind to get what you want.

The beginning of your recovery starts here. Through Past Life Regression what you will learn is that you are about to end the hold Agoraphobia or fear of panic attacks has on your life. You will learn to regain a carefree life, and will also gain new confidence in living.

Asha (name changed) came to me in a total state of despair due to her fear of being part of any gathering, which changed dramatically once she underwent Past Life Regression Therapy.

For almost 10 years, she had been working with many different therapists to overcome her childhood traumas, that had come back to haunt her in adult life. She had lost hope of leading a normal life and was convinced that she was going to stay a prisoner in her own home. Through numerous sessions of Past Life Regression with me, she was able to gain her life back in a more positive way.
