Millions of people in the world today
suffer from anxiety related challenges. Some of the known symptoms are unease,
discomfort, fear; worry remains present after the stressor/s are gone.
The Eastern Wisdom says that ‘mind
lives in five subjective states- wandering, forgetfulness, fancies, one-pointedness,
and emptiness. The masters say that the first three states cause mental
challenges including anxiety, stress, and suffering. The one-pointed state in
Eastern Wisdom is much more than merely a focus of the mind. The one-pointed
state isa qualified state of mind of a person who becomes a seeker treading the
path to self-discovery.
There are hundreds of practices that
discipline and educate the mind to become a seeker, including various methods
of conscious rest, removing wrong notions and thinking through contemplation
and reflection on the principles of self-discovery, withdrawal of the mind from
the world of people, place, possession, events and the time.
A person having challenges of anxiety
related problems, the teacher of the Eastern Wisdom takes life history,
understand mental and emotional states, introduce simple principles that relate
to his challenges, guided active and passive practices that personalized every
week.
It is not a single meditation
practice that helps, those who have mental and emotional challenges. Eastern
wisdom is 6000 years old, supported by 3000 texts that detail principles and
practices. When the expert teacher who knows the foundational principles of
mind, can easily and effectively manage the mental problems.
Buddha’s life before and after was a
miracle. Valmiki, a great master, emerged out of his
previous life as a dacoit. Can we relate his life suffering from PTSD and later
became an enlightened master? When principles and practices of eastern wisdom
are applied based on the temperament, mental states, severity of the symptoms
with personalized practices, people show great improvement and lead to the
freedom from suffering.
