It can also be said that it is a state of mind which is manifested by several reasons. It has now become so wide and common that now people see it as a disease.

What Are The Causes Of Depression?

There are actually three main reasons for depression. First is psychological, another is biological or physical and third is social. And these three have a common factor which is an essential factor.

The factor is our environment. A point to be noted here is that environment does not only mean surroundings here. Here environment is the food you take, all the surroundings you adapt, type of people you interact.

Psychological Cause:

As the word psychological clarifies that it is about mind. When there is an extremely low mood for a long period it starts manifesting depression. It mainly happens due to stress for a long time, a field of negative energy or stack of negative thoughts for a long time.

Biological or Physical Cause:

In biological or physical cause any hormonal change or bad health is the reason for depression. Sometimes it happens that you don't have any reason for a low mood still you become depressed it is due to hormonal changes.

Depression also depends on genes. A person's genes also decide when that person will become depressed and for how long.

For instance in many cases a mother after delivery gets depressed for no reason. It is because of hormonal reasons.

Social or Relational Cause:

In this depression is triggered when a there is a any social reason or problems in relationship. Here social means any problem related to society or job or any work. I personally feel that social reasons are actually part of psychological reason.

What Are The Common Myths About Depression?

Sadness is depression:

It is the most common myth in a person's head. People take sadness or low mood as depression. Although it can also be a reason for depression, it is so when continued for a long time. Depression occurs due to other reasons also leaving sadness.

It is also a widespread myth that depression is always psychological. As I have already mentioned the reasons above, in that a big reason is physical reason also.

How To Prevent Yourself From Depression?

If you want to prevent yourself from depression be happy and just enjoy your moments. Never see things on your past experiences or get angry unnecessarily.

If you do meditation then depression will probably not effect you. Engage yourself with friends and family. Try to be in an open environment. Feel free from any thoughts.

These suggestions may be helpful to prevent you from depression. Do not fear from depression. More are the fears more is the chance to be depressed or to trigger any phobia.

Health is very important so try to exercise minimum for 15 minuntes daily. Your body health has a direct impact on your mental health. Eat healthy food and try to avoid packaged foods.

Sleep is an important factor. A comfortable and deep sleep reduces the risk of depression. Try taking deep breaths while sleeping which will enhance the depth of sleep.

Conclusion

Never think depression is weakness. It can be triggered in anyone. Depression can be cured if and only if the depressed person desires to be cured.

The desire is the strongest part for the treatment of the person. Most of the depressed lose desire hence they try to commit suicide. I know it is not easy for that person and he wants to be out but without a desire it cannot be possible. Most of the therapists encourage the person to increase his desire to be cured.

At last I would just say that be connected with an open environment and feel the beauty of nature.

Do You Want To Control Your Anger?

2020-06-14T21:54:00.001+05:30

"Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy."

-Aristotle

This quote is of most importance. It can easily be understood. This quote has the ability to solve all problems related to the emotion anger.

In today's busy schedule everyone makes a habit of thinking in a particular way. This creates beliefs which are a cause of anger. We do not have time to see a problem's solution which creates a load on us producing irritation and anger.

Angry Due To Argument

We must understand anger is also an emotion. It also has to be expressed. If one tries to control it every time then it is a fool of him. Although it is true to say that most of us show anger where it is unnecessary.

For instance if something is lost, we simply get angry on ourselves or any other person. It is of no use as one cannot find his item by expressing anger.

Before heading forward we must know the difference between the words react and response.

Difference Between Reacting And Responding?

Always Respond

"The main and the only difference is of the time interval between any situation and your actions to face it". If you can experience the depth of the above mentioned sentence then move to the next topic. If not take a closer look in following paragraphs.

Again I am uttering, people these days have no time to look into themselves. So when any situation arises, with a complete believe in the first instinct, they perform sudden actions. Remember first instincts are mostly wrong because they pop up due to people's prior beliefs.

Now for a moment think if a person, leaving his first instinct, calms down and wait for some time for a correct decision. It would be much more easier and better for him to face that situation. Then the actions will be much more sincere and professional.

So the basic difference between reacting and responding is the time interval as this interval is the interval of decision which is better when more time is taken.

How To Control Anger?

There is no way to control anger directly as it is an emotion. It can only be minimized by accepting things as they are. Let us understand, in this world most people perceive situations based on their past experiences. This creates a confusion between the reality and the thought.

When you believe in your first instinct, it is your thought. When you wait and think then you work upon reality. This is the only way to permanently control anger. Once you start thinking about reality then you may get angry for the betterment of any person or anyone. Like parents get angry to see their children successful.

An immediate and momentary technique is to take deep breaths. Deep breathing relaxes your mind and helps you to face any situation with peace as a state of your mind.

Deep Breathing and Counting

I have personally observed people being angry as to why they get angry.

Such an ignorance! Always respect your emotions. Never try to criticize them. These emotions make you a human being. But never use them to react. Always use them to respond.

Anger is a powerful tool to perform tasks. It can only be used by transmutation of anger into work. This transmutation is possible through meditation. To know more about meditation click here.

Meditation Leads To Calmness

If we talk in biological terms, anger increases the blood flow at a much faster rate. This increased blood flow can lead to hypertension. It can damage the brain cells which may cause different neurological problems. Anger is purely destructive if not transmuted.

I have provided the main and very effective ways of controlling anger. To know more ways as to how to control anger click here.

Conclusion

You can control your anger by any of the methods but most of the methods are for external use. Meditation (tool for awareness) or accepting the reality is the core of minimizing anger. Most of the methods end up in making us accept the reality.

Again I am telling always respect your anger. It is also an emotion. Never take it in a criticizing way. Take it in a healthy way and it will surely transmute your energy from anger to calmness.

Calmness

What Is The Essence Of Law Of Cause And Effect?

2020-05-29T20:26:00.139+05:30

"We are the cause of everything what happens to us."

Cause and effect, these two words which are common to everyone, created this whole universe.

All lives lie under these two words. Even your deeds are just a piece of these two words.

Whatever you can think has it's base as cause and effect. And cause is the base of effect.

What Is Cause And Effect?

First of all as we all know cause is something which occurs to produce a result which is called effect. But where is the real cause? Is it within or without you? Let us understand.

For a person's life a cause is always within. A cause can never be without for a human life. It is also real that every individual cause has an individual effect.

Now effect can be within or without.

It depends on the cause you developed.

A cause for a human life can be stated as his thoughts. Because most of us have heard that 'what a man thinks so as he is'. It is as true as our existence.

Here I would like to tell you that a cause generated in one's mind can effect the whole world. As you can see that Facebook was an effect of Mr. Mark Zuckerberg's thought to meet people online. That thought was the cause of Facebook.

So ever wondered why a cause is there. Just think about it? Yes, it is need. Without need no cause is there. Although need can be stopped only when you die. But needs can be minimized to an extent like breathing and eating. Same is done by saints too.

More complex are your needs more complex is the cause. It is as simple as that. Continuing that i would tell you that a cause and a need both are same. But a need is a more appropriate word here because there cannot be a cause for anything without a need in your life.

Cause and effect are base of all the laws you can think of. One more thing is that if you want to get rid of something find it's cause. Never try to stop the effect. It will come back to you in any way. Just like you have taken loan and not paid the money back.

Definition of law

How And Why Thoughts Are Cause Of Every Effect In Your Life?

To understand this line we have to be aware of subjective and objective world.

Let us come to objective world. All the effects are shown in this world. Either it is objective mind that is your conscious mind or it is your surroundings. They all are part of objective world.

This objective world keeps on changing time to time because many causes deep down are emerging themselves as effects in it.

It is your objective mind where thoughts come and you put logics in every situation. But beyond this is your subjective world.

It is the deep inner world which makes a thought a cause and then shows effect on the objective world. It is also called subconscious mind. This subjective world is timeless and dimensionless. It has powers beyond all the logics you can put forth.

The only problem is that this world works upon habits. If you think something habitually then only it is conceived by your subconscious mind to make it a cause for a result.

It is true to say that causes are in objective world too but they are effects of subjective world. It is known to a person who has deeply studied it.

Our subjective world is beyond science. It has powers to create any situation when used. That is the reason a burning desire is always fulfilled. It is the source for every creative imagination which is triggered when a thought is transferred to it.

So we can say if one had not thought about this evolution of society, it would have not been possible for us to live where we are now.

And here I would like to recall that a thought is generated after a need. And where is the need? Is it outside? No. It is in our minds. Think if one would have less needs, would he have more thoughts in the mind or less. Obviously less thoughts.

So your thoughts are the cause of each and everything in your life. You are conscious about some thoughts so you can relate. But some are unconscious thoughts hence hard to be found.

How Karma And Law Of Cause And Effect Are Related?

According to me most of the people know what is karma. If not I will tell- It is a word for actions you do.

If this definition is clear to all then congrats you have understood the relation. If not let us see.

Karma is the work done to fulfill the cause which at the end shows effect. If a person would have developed a cause and not done any karma then would there have been any effect? No.

For instance we all breathe, what is the cause obviously to live. So to live we take in air which is karma that is an action done to fulfill a cause. Now effect is we all are living.

Since a cause can never be stopped hence karma also can never be stopped.

So every action you do is karma and every karma has it's own cause and effect.

Now we shall discuss about good karma and bad karma. All karma has a cause and as I have already said study only the cause. It has all your answers.

If you think only good for other people that is you never criticize them or hate them, your all karma will be good. But if you do opposite, for sure you will head towards bad karma.

It is because there is no statement as:-

"Something for nothing"

How To Find Any Cause?

See there is only one thing by which you can find any cause. That is "awareness".

It can only be increased by mindfulness.

A cause may be easy to find or hard to find. Most of you must have heard about the famous detective Sherlock Holmes. Ever wondered how he solved all cases? Just using a simple tool called as mindfulness or consciousness. He worked upon finding the cause of the case.

That is how any case is solved that is by finding why it happened.

For techniques to increase awareness click here.

You can find the cause for your life too using these techniques. It can make you a person better the you.

Conclusion

We all are in a trap of our thoughts which make our habits of overthinking. When these thoughts are transferred to subconscious mind karma takes place and effects happen.

But most of the times people are engaged with their narrow thoughts leading a miserable life. These thoughts are cause for bad karma. According to mythology a person with bad karma goes to hell. So change your thoughts.

A life can never be perfect but it can tend to perfection. We in our busy lifestyles do not approach to this side which is not right. So everyone must know all these things.

Do You Want A Happy Life?

"All Simple Things Are Not Easy"

This one line has it's own depth when understood gives you a great patience and persistence.

Why Life Is A Misery?

In our day to day lives, we accept tensions, stress, fears as our permanent members of our mind. We take them everywhere carrying them everytime.

Although we know these members are temporary, they become reality of our minds. They tend to change our attitude, personality, life habits, etc.

Adherence of these thoughts with emotions leads to misery both inside and outside. Break down of relations, joy, peace, opportunities, etc. Sorrow, grievances, anxiety, anger, dullness and loneliness become a part of our journey.

Another thing is our perception. Because of ignorance or better to say no time to understand it, we try to perceive things based on our predefined beliefs. This perception also leads to a miserable journey.

What happens is that whenever a new event arrives we connect it with our earlier events. It is right as it helps to tackle many situations. But every experience is a collection of individual experiences. So many experiences are left when we go to our past events.

We in our thoughts, live in past or future. Then these thoughts disappear our existence from this moving real world. This is a major cause for misery. It is because all your opportunities are vanished.

What are the Effects of the miserable members on Health?

They are the cause for depression. Depression is mainly caused due to a severe tension and sadness.

These members can also be the cause of unusual weight loss.

They can also cause liver damage and lead to urinary problems.

They can cause bone problems such as low bone density.

Let me tell you these are some of the psychological problems. Most of them are not curable by diagnosis. Since these problems are fixed in our minds. These fixations now let us feel that our disease or disorder is real.

With this information I would add that many diseases in our allopathic diagnosis are cured by placebo effect. It means that many drugs increase our desire to be cured. For more information click here.

How To Be Connected With Life?

If I tell you in one line life is all about awareness. Now let us dive into this line. This line and it's meaning is too simple to understand. But it is an ocean of most of our good qualities.

So first of all what is awareness? Ya we all know that it is how much consciousness we attain. But are we really conscious? Maybe. But many are not.

As I have said it is too easy to understand. So the extent of our usage of awareness decides our connection to the present moment. Although it is free and too popular we ignore it.

Awareness is within everyone and it runs in background but we cover it by other tools commonly named thoughts.

Mind you awareness never comes by controlling thoughts. If we try to control thoughts it would develop anger and frustration withing us.

Let me clear it that there is a huge difference between awareness and alertness. Alertness is something with which you pay attention to things and think about them. But awareness is knowing your existence. It comes automatically if the chit-chat in your head is stopped.

Awareness can never be our asset for a longtime when we forcefully try to acquire it. It is a peaceful and steady asset which comes slowly balancing our whole life.

What Are Ways To Make Awareness An Asset?

Mindfulness Meditation:

It is a basic meditation for those who do not get time to invest it in a sitting meditation.

This meditation can be done anywhere and anytime. In this we ask a question to ourselves-

"What am I doing right now?". This one question has capacity to change your life.

Just ask this question in your mind over and over from time to time. Practice doing one action at a time and do it mindfully. When you are struck by your thoughts just ask that question. Preferred after every half an hour.

This question suddenly opens our mind. We again become aware of our surroundings and ourselves. Just believe that you are aware and after asking the question just try to observe your thoughts and not flow with them.

It takes time to make awareness your asset but it is an easy procedure. It can also be done by anyone who is a beginner or not comfortable with other meditation postures and procedures.

Breathing Mediation:

It is a practice for anyone who can sit in one position for 10-15 minutes. When ready, sit with a cross legged position comfortably on the floor with a cushion beneath your hips. The backbone must be erect.

If not possible one can sit on a chair with feet touching the ground. Here also backbone must be erect and should not lean on the chair.

When ready close the eyes and take 5 slow and deep breaths. It will start relaxing your body. Then slowly bring the focus on your breath. Feel the air passing in and out.

If you cannot maintain these sensations then count the breaths when exhaling. It will help maintaining focus on the breath.

Although it is a simple meditation but it is a base for most of the meditations. This process can give unexpected sensations when done properly.

Sound Meditation:

It is a procedure which not only de-stresses the mind but also increases observational skills. This procedure also involves breathing meditation. So you must understand breathing mediation too. Time given to it must be 10-15 minutes

In this tool we sit in a comfortable position, cross legged when on floor or feet on floor when sitting on chair. Backbone must be erect.

Then simply prepare yourself by taking deep breaths for few minutes. It will relax your body.

Then close your eyes and simply listen to the sounds surrounding you. You do not have to think what the sound is simply listen to the sound. No understanding and thinking is required just sit and listen.

What Are Benefits Of Making Awareness An Asset?

Let me tell you that benefits of making awareness an asset are infinite. A person can never go beyond his limited knowledge and this awareness will lead you above that limit.

Still some benefits are peace of mind, no fears, no shyness, no anger, increased intuition, more love, unlimited happiness, increased focus, harmonious relations,..........and many more.

You can become limitless as you will always be at peace. You could find solutions to almost every problem.

Free from all stress

Conclusion:

I would here tell you that to use meditation as an effective tool you must have persistence and patience. These two qualities define how much your meditation will be effective.

Everyone wants to be relaxed but they do nothing to make it a reality of their lives.

At last I would say,"If one can think of something then he can surely perform it".
