a suitable mindset and use the right method.

It is not about ignoring or minimizing the trials and tragedies of this world, but
rather than preventing them from having total control over yourself. If you learn to

effectively. But how to achieve it?

The first step is to slow down our pace of life. We do not realize
from the crazy speed at which we live, nor how much the rhythm of our existence has
accelerated. Many become exhausted physically, mentally, and spiritually.

According to various experts, anxiety is often a cause of arthritis. Doctors who have analyzed
the causes of this widespread disease assert that financial disasters, frustration,
tension, apprehension, loneliness, sorrow, old grudges, and worry are
very often linked to cases of arthritis.

A study involving 176 administrators with an average age of 44 years revealed that the
half of them suffered from hypertension, heart disease, or ulcers. In all

symptoms of rheumatism.

But do not get discouraged because you can overcome your anxiety. The remedy exists.
The first step is simply to believe that you can do it.

Here is a practical method that will help eliminate unhealthy anxiety from your life.

HOW TO OVERCOME
Sorrow and Mourning
Please prescribe me a sedative to calm my sorrow. The man who formulated
this singular and pathetic request knew that medicine was powerless to
relieve. He had initially believed that his discomforts actually stemmed from his impotence to
overcome his grief was of physiological origin. It was his doctor who had encouraged him to
consult a spiritual advisor. He will also reiterate his request by adding the grief
it spares no one, I know it and I should be able to overcome it like everyone else, but
I have tried everything in vain. Can you help me?

Sorrow can be treated, without a doubt, and physical activity is a

basic therapy. Indeed, the person in distress must resist the temptation to
to ruminate on one's sorrow in idleness. Physical exertion occupies the mind, preventing it from
to cultivate dark ideas, and to sink into suffering.

Whatever the nature of your sorrow, try first to escape the climate of
pessimism in which you are immersed, even if it requires a great effort from you, and
resume the normal course of your existence. Attend to your daily activities,
keep seeing your friends, make new ones, practice walking, horseback riding,
swimming. In summary, activate your blood circulation. Dedicate yourself to a useful work,
engage in activities emphasizing physical exercise. Resort to a diversion to a
intellectual or spiritual derivative, but make sure it is constructive and valid. To daze oneself
in social gatherings and alcohol for example, only provides temporary relief and does not
does not favor healing at all.

Have you considered giving free rein to your grief? Here is an excellent natural way to
a surplus of relief. Unfortunately, the social taboo strikes the spontaneous expression of
chagrin, especially since it involves crying or sobbing; now tears are a relief valve of
safety that the Almighty has provided us to further alleviate moral suffering.
Why not use it if it is necessary.

Like any natural function, one must learn to control their tears. But, all
men or women have the right to cry, as much as they want on occasion. They will find a
beneficial relief. It is obviously necessary to avoid it becoming a habit or
give in to excess as the consequences could be disastrous and even lead to
psychosis.

As in everything, moderation is essential.

I receive extensive correspondence from people who have lost a loved one and who say
how painful it is for them to frequent places (1:11) and to meet people who
awaken the memory of the departed. They thus avoid their former mutual friends and the places
where they used to go together or as a family. In my opinion, that is a mistake
important.

One of the best ways to overcome grief is to engage in your activities.

imperative. If one wishes to avoid sinking into pathological despair.

No one is immune to grief. This inevitable ordeal is so natural that everyone eventually
and it is normal to return to the normal course of existence.
For years, I have been gathering testimonies that reinforce my conviction that we
let's inhabit a dynamic universe in which life, and not death, is the principle
fundamental. These trustworthy and completely true testimonies concern
experiences that show the existence of a juxtaposed or closely intertwined world
ours, in the email where the human minds on both sides of the approach remain in contact
uninterrupted. On the other side of the barrier, the living conditions as we know them
those who have crossed this barrier live in
a world superior to ours is certain, and their understanding of events surpasses
by far ours. Nevertheless, all the facts tend to prove not only the
survival of those who have left us but also their proximity.

To this, we must add the indication, no less real, that we will find them again one day. In
attendant, we live in spiritual communion with those who have preceded us in the
world of spirits.

After a life devoted to study, William James asserted that the human brain was nothing but
the provisional seat of the soul and that the spirit would acquire in the end, an intelligence capable of
grasp the whole universe. Our spiritual being that develops throughout our earthly life takes
more and more aware of the vast world around him.

Death is in reality only the attainment of an expanded understanding.

Euripides, one of the greatest thinkers of antiquity, was convinced that life after the
death was infinitely superior to this one. Socrates, who shared this opinion, left us
one of the most comforting statements ever made: 'No evil can
arrive at the right place in this life or the next.

An eminent neurologist reports to us the case of a man who was on the brink of death and
who began to mention names. The doctor took notes, he did not know any of them. Later,
He asked the daughter of the deceased: Who are these people? Your father spoke of them as if he knew them.
He saw. They are all parents who died a long time ago, she replied.
This neurologist claims to be convinced that his patient is really experiencing them.

Another radio celebrity, Marine Margaret tells us how much she had been
desperate over the death of her beloved mother. Awakening suddenly from a night, she sat up
bedside. Suddenly, to quote her own words, 'I feel like mom was there,
near me

She did not see her mother and did not hear her speak, but since then, she is certain that her
mother is not dead and that she lives by his side. The late Refus Jones, one of the greatest
spiritual leaders of our time, had the pain of losing his son to whom he was attached as to the
pupil of his eyes. At the age of 12, he fell ill while his father
was heading towards Europe. On the last night of his crossing, lying on his bunk, the doctor
Jones was overwhelmed by an indefinable and inexplicable sadness. Then he had the impression
to be wrapped in the arms of God. A great sorrow overwhelmed him and the feeling
deep to be in contact with his son.

Upon arriving in Liverpool, Dr. Jones learned of the death of the young Lowell that occurred at the hour.
he specified where he had felt the presence of God, and the tightening of the bonds forever that
they united to his son. Hallucination, dream, vision: I do not believe it.

For years I have received confessions from people who have reached the border of
something, who took a look on the other side and all of them, without exception,
talk about the beauty of light and peace. They convinced me.
