Medicines help cutting down the surface symptoms and thereby give us time and energy to engage in ways to change our attitudes and lifestyles. The medicines should be taken as advised by the treating doctor.
Most important is attitudes, since it is this that brings anxiety, basically a lack of trust and faith in the Divine Presence within us.ย
Lifestyle changes include regular meditation to quieten the mind, deep breathing exercises to quieten the nerves and regular physical exercises to strengthen the body.
The one spiritual practice that will help is the mantra. Either one of the universal mantras, such as Om, can be taken up, or a mantra that spontaneously springs up from within will be good.ย
With prayers
