Sri Ravi sankar on "ANXIETY"

[Guest guest]

Weekly Knowledge #325 Canadian Ashram

<br>10/4/2001 Canada <br><br> <br>HOW TO DEAL WITH

ANXIETY<br><br>Today many are anxious about how to deal with their

anxiety!<br><br>Here are some of the ways you can manage your

anxiety:<br><br>1. Sing, dance and celebrate. The very intention to

celebrate will pull you away from anxiety to a more

harmonious state.<br><br>2. Think about what you can do for

others rather than just about yourself. Energize

yourself with some service activity.<br><br>3. Combined

practice of yoga, breathing and meditation.<br><br>4. Know

the impermanence of the world.<br><br>5. Having faith

and surrendering to the Divine and knowing that there

is a supreme power who loves you. The supreme power

is behind you and accepts you totally. The sense of

security comes with the sense of belongingness.<br><br>6.

Valour/courage: Invoking the lion within you and having an

attitude of sacrifice will rescue you from

anxiety.<br><br>7. Reminding yourself that you are committed to a

greater goal will keep the anxiety away.<br><br>8. Being

unpredictable for a while. Anxiety is always related to some

anticipated action. Do something completely irrelevant and

unpredictable.<br><br>9. Readiness to face the worst will leave you with

stability in the mind.<br><br>10. Remembering a similar

situation in the past when you were able to overcome your

anxiety.<br><br>Chanakya : If none of theses work just come and be in the

presence of the Master. (laughter)<br> <br>The

International association for Human Values, based in Geneva,

has been chosen as a member of the Swiss Peace

Foundation, which is an office of the Swiss Federal

Government.<br><br>TTC1 and TTC2 at the German Ashram culminated with

Sri's Sri's visit. The Canadian Ashram was blushing in

fall colors to welcome Guruji.<br><br>Several public

satsangs and Post Trauma Stress Relief Courses are in

progress in the New York/New Jersey area.
