Day 200/365: It’s All Connected: Science & Spirituality (Anxiety Issues)
Yesterday, I wrote an article about the connection between science and spirituality from my understanding.
Today, I would like to talk about how this connection can solve many issues faced by youth today. You all might be aware of the ongoing mental health issues today’s younger generation is going through. Of course, people of all age groups go through it, but in general, we can see a higher percentage of youth suffering from mental health issues.
Let’s talk about anxiety issues, for instance, which many of us might have faced. We all know and understand how restless and helpless you feel when you’re going through anxiety. Many a times we don’t even know why or what is happening to us.
Firstly, I would like to share in general the symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety generally happens at three different levels: physical, physiological, and behavioural. Below, I am sharing a photo which might make it the symptoms clearer.
All these are the symptoms of anxiety which have been examined and studied well. According to studies, a flood of chemicals and hormones are released which increase the pulse and breathing rate which results in heart pounding. This is the general symptom we can see in people suffering from anxiety. And, there are many ways to cure and deal with it, from the perspective of science - like, medications, consultancy and different types of therapy sessions. But, when the same situation or fear arises again which caused anxiety initially, there are high chances of it triggering again.
Now, let’s look at this from a spiritual perspective. Negative emotions cause energies to get contaminated in our chakras. This causes anxiety, especially in the solar plexus chakra. So, to permanently cure anxiety, one needs to balance and cleanse the chakras and emotions. Many research studies and people’s experiences have shown that regular meditation can rearrange the thoughts and emotions in our brains. This also ends up balancing the chakras. It also reorganises the brain cells, which helps in the long run to prevent any anxiety or panic attack to trigger from the same incident or situation that happened earlier.
So, from this we can conclude that science and spirituality are connected and can solve many issues.
