Healing

In my practice as a life coach, I come across many people, who lead a very good life with no practical problems (no health issues, no money issues, happy children, loving husband) and yet, they suffer from anxiety, panic attacks, and sometimes depression. Such people are usually very aware (and sometimes they themselves are healers) but no alternative therapy seems to work either. So, what is the solution?

As I have seen it with them (and with myself), this happens when we let ‘un-founded/ exaggerated’ fears control our very existence. Fear, of course, carries a clear indication that there are still some soul-lessons to be learnt (unassimilated strands to be healed). But sometimes, despite knowing everything, we run away from our fears, and convince ourselves that we are unable to deal with our anxiety. We don’t allow ourselves to ‘see’ the wonderful, all-knowing residing deity- our Spirit Spark.

Anxiety is caused by fear of being out of control (not being able to control life). The healing begins when we allow ourselves to go into our feelings and look for the underlying origin, as soon as the fear surfaces and we begin to panic. (In my case, I was carrying ‘not good enough/ not enough’ paradigm within me.)

Sometimes panic attacks come when we believe that we are going to get caught by others for not being who they think we are. (Reality not matching the projection/ fear of exposure of true feelings/ inability to accept oneself)

Depression stems from a total lack of connection with who we are. It creates a un-fill-able void inside us. We try to fill it with food/ drinks/ addictions/ material possessions/ clinging/ wanting more of everything; but nothing helps.

Most people, who suffer from anxiety, panic attacks, and depression carry very strong belief systems by which they judge everything that happens to them (I know because I have been there). And unless we change our belief system, no therapy (however effective) can work. The power lies in accepting that you have limiting beliefs and work towards changing them.

The process is slow, but well worth it!!
