My mother has been suffering from neuropathy for some years and it’s becoming worse. Her toes and feet get constricted and numbness, tingling and burning in her hands and weakness in her legs going upwards. Since my father passed away few months ago, she has had many health issues which I have written to you. Her tests are all clear so we don’t understand why this is happening. She is losing her will to live and is in a depressed state. We keep encouraging her to Keep her faith in the Mother and be as normal as possible. She tries but doesn’t feel good. What is the spiritual cause for her physical issues? How can we help her 😥so that she helps herself?

The cause seems to be primarily physical, which could be anything from vitamin deficiency to blood sugar or thyroid issues. It is difficult to say that without personally seeing and examining. But depression does tend to aggravate the symptoms and delays recovery.  

From the inner point of view the nerves generally get easily affected by attachments, especially if she is very sensitive. Faith is alright but it helps enormously if one is conscious of the inner difficulty and offers it to Her with a persistent will to change it. Other than that the mind should turn away from the difficulty into something that she finds interesting. Calling peace also will help her. The will to live seems to be diminished too perhaps because of lack of joy in life. However if depression is persisting it will help her to take a course of antidepressants which will give her a vantage point and the time needed for the inner change.

Affectionately,
