Suvo Shukla Pakshya Astami
Chanting 32 names of Durga removes fear from our mind as Ma Durga is the slayer of Asuras. She is the antidote of fear.
Fear is associated with our Root Chakra. If our Root chakra is depleted, small, and lacks prana we live in constant fear. Slowly our Navel chakra, Solar Plexus and Heart Chakra also gets affected.
If fear is not treated, it can lead to anxiety to phobia and become a Mental Health Issue.
Difference between Fear, Anxiety,Phobia
Fear is an intense, short-lived emotional response to an immediate, recognized threat (fight-or-flight),
Anxiety is a prolonged, future-oriented state of worry regarding potential or ambiguous threats.
While fear focuses on a present danger, anxiety involves generalized apprehension and uncertainty.
Key Differences:
Trigger: Fear is triggered by a specific, present danger (e.g., a snake). Anxiety is often triggered by perceived or imagined future threats (e.g., worry about a presentation next week).
Duration: Fear is short-lived; it passes once the threat is gone. Anxiety can be long-lasting or chronic.
Cognitive Process: Fear is instinctive. Anxiety involves cognitive processes like ruminating, worrying, and anticipating.
Examples:
Fear: You are walking down a dark alley and suddenly hear footsteps following you closely. Your heart pounds immediately, and you feel the need to run.
Anxiety: You are sitting at home, but you cannot relax because you are obsessively worrying about the possibility of losing your job next month, despite having no evidence of it.
Fear: You are on a plane and it hits severe turbulence, causing you to feel sudden, intense panic.
Anxiety: You are booking a flight and feel a persistent, knot-in-the-stomach worry about the potential for something to go wrong during the trip.
Both share similar physical symptoms, such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, and nausea.
Difference Between Fear and Phobia
While fear is a natural response to danger, a phobia is an excessive, irrational, and persistent fear that often leads to severe avoidance behaviors.
Phobias are a type of anxiety disorder.
Common Phobias: Specific phobias (e.g., spiders, flying) and social phobia (social anxiety disorder).
Symptoms: Rapid onset of intense fear, panic attacks, and the need to avoid the source.
Management and Coping Strategies
Therapy: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy are commonly used.
Lifestyle Changes: Regular physical activity, stress management, reducing caffeine, and improving sleep.
Medication: Doctors may recommend medication to help manage symptoms.
Pranic Healing , Meditation, Spiritual healing and Mantra Chanting can remove the root cause creating these disorders in the Energy body.
Fear, anxiety, phobia reduces the vibrations of our chakras and weakens the aura. A healer can see it in the aura and chakra of the affected person.
