Does Spirituality helps with anxiety?

Auli

Anxiety makes you numb. It steals your ability to think clearly and disconnects you from your inner calm.


That’s where spirituality can help. It doesn’t eliminate problems, but it helps you face them with clarity and strength.


Anxiety often arises when the mind dwells too much on the past or worries about the future. Spirituality anchors you in the now—it gives meaning to pain and infuses strength within you.


It helps you see the bigger picture, nurturing compassion towards yourself and kindness towards others. As if it gently says, “Why are you so worried? The worst can happen to anyone, but only for a while. Every difficult phase arrives, and every difficult phase eventually fades.”


You are bigger than your pain, and pain, when faced with strength, can even become transformative. Something meaningful often follows suffering—you just need the patience to move through it.


So the next time you feel anxious or low, take a deep breath. Close your eyes and reflect on the smallness of your problems in the vastness of life. Think about the strength that has carried you this far, and focus on what you can do right now with that strength to face your situation.


Life is not simple. To live is to face challenges—and how you face them defines your journey. Keep going, till the very end.

What does Spirituality actually mean in daily life?

Spirituality is beyond the material world. It is that which connects you to your true self—beyond material pleasures and even pain.

It instills compassion, humility, love, and both physical and emotional strength within you. It connects you to your consciousness, empowers you to endure pain and loss, and encourages you to live—even when there seem to be countless material reasons not to.


But how can we embrace spirituality with all the distractions surrounding us?


Often, we turn toward spirituality only when there is no other way to find peace or motivation—when the material world closes all its doors to please or serve us. Yet, such a situation may never arise if spirituality is embraced from the beginning.


If you wish to begin this journey now, the first thing to accept is that you are not perfect. Distractions are faced by everyone. Do not see them as enemies, but as teachers. Let them try to pull you, but do not surrender to them. Awareness is the key. Learn to quiet the past and the future, and fully embrace the present moment—the now.


Bring discipline into your life. Set daily goals, focus on the process, and practice stillness—whether by observing your breath or by being fully aware of what is happening in the present moment.

Instead of reacting negatively, learn to accept people and life as they are. You will notice that you win more hearts through kindness than you ever could through anger or hatred.


Death is the ultimate teacher. It transforms your thinking, humbles you, and reminds you that everything material comes to an end and ultimately returns to the one true soul—consciousness, or God.


A visit to a cemetery or a cremation ground can teach you more than words ever could. In that silence, you begin to see who you truly are and what your real purpose is.


And yes, there is always a way forward. The path of spirituality will surely guide you in the right direction.

To Die before you Die

Death is stripping away of all that is not you. The secret of life is to “ die before you die”- and find that there is no death.
-Eckhart Tolle

What I have become, I don’t want to know anymore! I have been fed to all that I am not and I only came to know about that when I faced death.

I identified with my mind. I let it dwell on my fears which gave me sufferings and frustrations. It made me to shed tears for my past and worry for my future.

It stole my ‘now’. It overpowered me, I became its prey and it fed my life. I became my failures, my sufferings which lingered only in the past. It became my sense of self.

Who am I ? Just my failure or suffering ? No it can’t be true. I cannot be the figment of my mind, just a mere thought?

No I can’t let my smitten mind feed me. For that I have to die before I actually die.

I have to stop thinking, I have to come out of my unconscious self and cling on my heart beat which exist in the ‘now’. I have to breathe in my present and exhale my past.

This will kill my ego, my fear, my sufferings and all that is born out of my past and future.

My false self will die and my true self will emerge from the eternal now.
I am not the past and future , I am all that is happening right now !

What you have forgotten ?

What you have forgotten ?

Your deep inner self which resides in your consciousness, your true identity, which can only be accessed by the stillness of your mind .

What is stillness of mind?

By Stillness of mind, I mean when you are not thinking about the future or the past. In fact the process of thinking itself is not being in the present ,where your heart beats with every passing second.

Life is ‘now’ and you are not the slave of your mind. The reason behind most sufferings or grief is your mind. It makes you think , makes you accomplish things but at the same time it controls you to look for more wealth, exploit things before finally exploiting yourself.

How our thoughts affect us ?

If you can’t stop thinking about material things or can’t control your thoughts then you are surely enslaved by your mind. Most of us are slaves. And that’s why we struggle to find inner peace, happiness and even struggle to find the meaning of our existence.

Enlightened are those who can feel life right in the present without thinking too much about it.

Just try to find a moment for yourself , focus on your breathing, declutter your mind from all thoughts, feel the moment residing in the eternal now, the oneness ,yes right there your existence lies, your true identity.

Religion Weeps

When time began
In the moment after creation
Earth was barren
And was in dark desolation

Then the Glory of God
Began with his compassion
He introduced his son
And humanity with Religion

But the humanity’s creed
Became his Greed
And he became blind
In the shadow of the dark

Epiphany of religion
Forgotten with time
Humanity killed himself
With his ignorance of light

Now Religion is weeping
With the corps of his son
Humanity is motionless
On the barren land
