Authority Figures

In your previous and current lifetimes, you followed rules that were set down by authority figures such as parents and teachers. You may have also encountered intimidating or even cruel authority figures in the past. Perhaps you found yourself in the presence of those who were power-hungry or abusive. These situations can lead you to fear authority figures and succumb to their will in the present.

While it’s normal to sometimes be intimidated by powerful individuals, fearing authority figures can lead to unhealthy passivity. For example, you may feel pressured to bow to anothers rules without standing up for your rights. Or you may develop “conflict phobias,” in which you negate your own needs in order to avoid arguments and disharmony. In some cases, this can lead to a form of depression called “learned helplessness,” in which you don’t even try to improve your life.

To heal this situation, fill yourself with self-love and self-esteem, and see yourself as being whole and healed. Oftentimes, just remembering past-life details will lead to clearing and healing.
