How Do I Cope With My Fear Something Terrible Will Happen To My Daughter?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named Clare.

Clare: Hello Bob, hello Cynthia, and hello to The Council.

About two years ago my daughter was born. And since then I’ve been experiencing various intense fears about her being safe, about me being here for her, and being able to protect her. I’m afraid I might die, or that someone might kill me.

I feel more vulnerable since my daughter was born. For example, when I take a sip of a drink, I’m afraid someone might shoot me. I see what terrible things are happening in the world, like wars, school shootings, rape, and kidnappings. It’s truly horrifying what’s happening to small children or teenage girls, and it scares me deeply.

Council: We would like to say here, my goodness! You have picked a lifetime where you are trying to heal many, many lives of abuse, of being terrified, of early deaths, and losing family. So all of this is now going on for you to heal, and to find out why you are feeling like this.

We would like to tell you that the most recent [past life] was in World War II, where you and your daughter now, who was your sister then – the two of you, young girls taken away from your parents – and were in one of these concentration camps, and were abused, and were trying to stay alive. And seeing so much abuse going on, and you being two years older, feeling responsible for taking care of your sister, and trying to keep her safe. So that, #1, is what’s coming up for you and your daughter.

Clare: These fears paralyze me internally.

Council: And if you can imagine, that is how you were in that past life: terrified, paralyzed with fear, and not knowing how to protect yourself or your younger sister.

Clare: Is this connected to what is currently happening in the world? Or does it reach back into past lives?

Council: Both. We would say, unfortunately the way the world is at this time, it would bring up those subconscious memories.

Clare: What can I do so that these fears don’t paralyze me, and so that I can breathe fully and freely again, so I can feel love and safety in my heart, and know that we are okay?

Council: The #1 thing is, when you find out about a past life, it takes a little while, but when you accept it, and you realize what you are afraid of is not going on right now – you are not in a [concentration] camp right now. These are memories that come with a lot of feeling, but it’s to get to the place where you realize that was then, this is now. It is not happening now. And when we died in that life, we’re still okay because here we are. We’re okay. It’s a past life. It is not hurting me. It is not happening now.

Clare: Can you also tell me whether my daughter and I have shared lives together, and what soul contracts we made for this lifetime?

Council: The soul contract is that you both wanted to be together again, but in a happier atmosphere. So it is your place to find a way to realize what is happening now. We are safe, and come up with thoughts that can prove to you that you are not in that same situation again. Everything that goes on with you now must start with your thoughts. That’s how the healing will start.

So you have to find a way to think, “I’m safe.” Even if you sit down for ten minutes a day, and in that ten minutes think of love, and think of happiness. Come up with fantasies of what it would be like and sit in that happy feeling. As you begin to do that, that will grow more and more and will help you to release the fear. And it will help you realize it is not going on now. I am fine.

Clare: What can I do to help our relationship thrive and to love each other, even when she becomes an adult woman?

Council: We would say, as a child, play. Find play, happiness, and fun things to do. That is important. And that will go into adulthood, and you will have a much easier and happier life together because you’re going to start changing it now.

Clare: Friendships with women still feel impossible for me, and I can’t maintain any female friendships. Even within my family, no woman communicates with me. I’ve always felt like I had to submit to them. And when I expressed my opinion, nobody liked it. What can I do differently with my daughter?

Council: Show her love and understanding. Find happy things to do. The woman problem is also from that same life. If you realize you are in a camp with women, and sometimes they were very mean to each other, just trying to survive, so that is also part of the same past life.

So it is your choice, of course, but it is your hope to heal this [situation] in this lifetime. And for you to do it, you must change your thoughts. You have to have control of your thoughts. Ten minutes a day will be enough to start this.

Clare: I would like to have a beautiful, warm, and heartfelt relationship with my daughter.

Council: And you can have this. You have to do the work, but you can have this.

Clare: Thank you very much in advance for your advice and insights. I’m sending light and love. Clare.

Council: And so we send you love. We send everyone happiness, and hope, and the ability to change your lives. To know that you can, and make [your life] exactly the way you want it. And that is why we’re all here right now. Love to you all.
