Why Am I Afraid Of The Dark?

In this post, we answer questions for The Council from a reader named Divine Maha.

Divine Maha: Hi, Bob, Cynthia, and The Council. Thank you for all that you do.

Why do I have fear when it’s nighttime? My body starts reacting. I just can’t sleep when it’s dark. I just don’t feel safe at night. I’m afraid of the dark. I had to keep the lights on, and it’s tiring. I’m just scared of the dark, and don’t know why.

Council: The #1 reason is a past life in the 1400s. And it was when they had the great witch hunters out after women. And so, because you knew about healing and about making potions, you could easily be turned in as a witch, and killed, and tortured. So you had to live in the forest. You had to constantly stay in the dark and could only move around in the dark, but always with that fear within you.

And so, in this [your current] lifetime, it has come forward, and unconsciously you remember being afraid in the dark. And so, knowing now where it comes from, you can let that go. You are not in the same situation. You are not being hunted. And as you put that into your mind more and more, you can let this go.

Divine Maha: I just want to sleep, like everyone else, with the lights off. I couldn’t get proper rest, and I could feel the imbalances in my body. Looking back at it, I was afraid to sleep at night, even in the past. Did something happen in a previous life? I get so anxious. I usually talk myself out of it, but this time the resistance is too strong. I just have a lot of trust issues with my life or myself. I just don’t feel safe. I appreciate your guidance. Thank you.

Council: And so, when it is time to go to bed, even if you have to leave the light on for a while, we would suggest that you picture yourself covered in a beautiful white light. And in that white light, there is good energy, and you are safe, and it is healing. And as you do this every night, you will begin to relax.

We send love, and light, and healing to all.
