Re: Spiritualy rooted diseases

Hi Libra,

I agree with you that to fear really does cause many if not most ills. I think you are on the right path...you have found the culprit to your ill health - many people donot realised they are consumed with fear.

I too suffered with anxiety/panic attacks/ Depression - and after just being completely exhausted and drained by feeling that way i had to do alot of soul searching. I discovered i feared alot. As you know the type of fear i am talking about is a fear that lies hidden, its a spiritual secret in a way - until your level of spirituality rises and you discover the fear - this is a huge step in working your way to reducing fear.

There are lots of suggestions to ridding fear - like you stated, love yourself more etc ...lol...easier said than done! i found i was insecure - about myself solely. When i questioned this insecurity i found that i felt this way because i didn't want an inflated ego. So i went to the other extreme and became insecure. I have always believed the ego blocks our spiritual journey.

I also think that letting go is a very important mental exercise to undertake. I mean letting go of everything - worries of work/family/body image/friends etc...really let them go. These worries really eat us up. I used to worry so much about everything. Through exhaustion again...lol....i discovered that whether i worried or not things would work out how they were meant to anyway. I found my worrying played no part in the end result - if anything it made things worse.
Letting go isn't just a mental decision to make - of course first one has to understand it on the mental/logical level, then you begin to really feel it on a more internal consciousness level, until it becomes a spiritual belief. At this point you can implement it to great effect in your spiritual and daily life.

Of course, also herbal teas and other herbal rememdies that are known for their soothing calming properties would be useful for you i believe, however nature provides us with these beneficial gifts, but will not alone shift the deep-rooted spiritual/psychological fear. It takes alot of spiritual energy in us to really get to grips with out woes.

I'm full of compassion for you for posting...i feel so strongly that by recognising what you have, you are so very close to a personal spiritual epiphany of release from your fear.

With much support and love,
