Having faith is one the best ways battle stress and anxiety. If you truly believe in a higher power, religion, or God, it helps immensely. In my opinion it doesn’t matter which faith it is, as long as you know that your spirit is eternally connected to universal source energy.
You can find some web sites that give you tips and lists using Christian methods of reducing stress. You can find a massive amount of information online regarding the use of faith for stress relief.
I was raised as a Christian do believe that Jesus is the son of God, but I think we are all children of God. It’s just most Christian followers believe that Jesus is a divine son of God. There are allot of different opinions on this one isn’t there?
I’ve found some peace of mind reading scriptures from all religions and faiths. There is a great divide between the followers of the different religions, and it’s too bad. Some believers are adamant that their faith is the only faith, when I believe all faith based religions are reaching to the same universal source of all.
The new age movement is all about the same belief. Buddha was around for thousands of years before Christ, but most of the messages and teachings are the same. Same the Koran and Mohammad. This would spark a furious debate is we were sitting in a room full of followers all these religions. When this world truly starts to unite, it will be when followers of all religions realize they have been worshipping the very same God – the universal energy of love, kindness, compassion, and beauty.
When you use your faith to calm your nerves and calm those around you, you are acting directly in line with source energy. The fine art of forgiveness, and the understanding that all form in the world is simply a visual illusion that we humans see and undertand, then you can relieve allot of worldly stress.
When we tap into our true calling of spirit, and stop looking at ourselves on the basis of form, we can conquer all fear and stress. Eckhart Tolle’s book “A New Earth” is one of the big break through books for believers of the new age movement. I believe that Eckhart’s theories, Deepak Chopra’s theories, and Wayne Dyer’s theories all mirror the same awakening. I think we’ll see many great religions of dogma and guilt begin to collapse over the next 50 years. The true meaning of spiritual connection is upon us now and it’s getting very exciting.
I can see a day when stress, anxiety, depression, and chronic sadness are extremely rare. There will be a day when school curriculum will have a great deal of content regarding peace of mind, spiritual connection, and faith in everything we experience.
I’ll be long gone when the new world is realized, but I think we’ll see far less violence, greed, and anger around the globe. In a few hundred years this earth will be a completely transformed place. Anxiety and fear will almost eradicated. There will some day be a heaven on earth reality.
It’s only us humans are the animals that need to get in touch with spiritual energy as a whole. Animal, plants, and insects are perfectly tuned into source. It’s the great humane experiment that is taking ALLOT of time to develop.
On a personal note, I believe that we have to be our own heroes and trust in our own basic instincts. You want to know what your basic insticts are? When you are helping someone, being kind, helpful, compassionate, forgiving, and loving – you are in sync with universal love and in purpose.
I’m not a huge fan of Oprah, but I believe she is on the right track with all her spiritual work she has been involved with. In her own right, Oprah has become a teacher to millions of people around the world.
