Question:
I could do with some positive energy in my life. What are the best things for that? I’m not religious but somewhat spiritual. I use simmering granules for relaxation which helps. I’m getting some Chakra stones and thinking of learning Reiki. I also have one of those happy buddah figurines.
What other ways are there to get positive energy and peace of mind?
My answer:
I was in your situation some time ago….searching for answers…not sure why I was unhappy all the time. It is important to find out if you are seeking spiritual help or if you may be depressed. While seeking spirituality has been proven to help with depression and anxiety, there can be physiological things going on that shouldn’t be ignored. If you feel hopelessness, un-relenting sadness, low energy and self esteem, please see a health professional. Now if you are just searching for meaning in your life, well, then rejoice! You are on the first steps of finding your purpose in life. Bhudda had a lot to say about the world we live in and how we can exist in harmony with it, but I agree that finding out about Jesus will give you more to chew on. Jesus gave us wisdom for the hereafter, which is, I think, why we feel dissatisfied with our lives. We know there is something more out there don’t we? But who has the answers? Jesus Christ did, as did many of the other prophets and authors of the Testaments. And do not confuse Sprituality with Religion. You can have a faith in Christ that may not fit into any church doctrine and that is a good thing while you are seeking enlightenment. I would caution you regarding some of the alternative therapies that fall under the banner of the New Age Movement. Putting your faith in crystals, mantras and other occult teachings should not be undertaken lightly - Investigate the origins of this belief system (and any others out there) before participating in it. There is plenty that will make you feel good, but there is a darker side to it that many people do not recognise as bad for them.
Personally, I started out by reading everything I could about all of the worlds religions…perhaps a religious studies course will help you find out more about what you believe in and take comfort from.
Hope this helps
