AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Home » Life Problems And Psychological Difficulties » Alok da since a year or two, a couple of days just before I fall ill with cold and cough🤢, there is a weird kind of awareness mixed with fear sometimes about falling unwell, sometimes a sense of pride that the body has been doing so well despite hectic schedules etc. While I try to surrender the feeling to Mother, there are mixed results every time. Sometimes the viral is mild and passes away, sometimes it is severe. I feel making sense of this phenomenon will help the body and mind to cope better, hence asking you what should be the right attitude during the time when these feelings arise. Also how to make the surrender better?

It is also important to do regular physical exercise as well to ensure the physical consciousness is open because the causes may be purely physical as well.

Affectionately,
