Sadhguru Tips: Anxiety has become a common experience for many. Sadhguru, in his profound wisdom, offers a simple yet effective approach to overcoming this state of mind. He highlights that anxiety arises when our own mind does not take instructions from us. But what if we could change that? Let’s explore Jaggi Vasudev‘s teaching on how to manage anxiety with focus, awareness, and simple techniques.
Anxiety is a Conflict of the Mind
Sadhguru explains that anxiety stems from the conflict between two dimensions within us—our mind and body. If our mind could take instructions from us, we wouldn’t create anxiety in the first place. Instead of looking for answers externally, Sadhguru encourages us to turn inward and understand our own physiological and psychological patterns. This inner understanding is the key to reducing anxiety.
Stop Looking for Release
Often, people attempt to release their anxiety by distracting themselves. Whether it’s watching TV, reading a book, or even taking medication, these are temporary fixes. Sadhguru points out that such actions are like trying to blunt the sharp knife that is our mind. Instead of blunting it, he advises learning to hold the knife steadily. In this case, the knife is our sharp intellect, and steadying it requires calming the mind.
The Power of Yoga and Inner Engineering
Sadhguru’s solution to anxiety lies in inner engineering and yoga. However, he clarifies that yoga is not just about physical postures but about achieving union within. This union between the right and left sides of our brain, the masculine and feminine energies within, is crucial for achieving a steady and peaceful mind. A simple method Sadhguru recommends is the practice of holding your hands together, focusing on something meaningful, such as the sun, a tree, or a loved one, with gratitude. This practice, he assures, will reduce anxiety as it balances the inner conflict.
A Simple Practice for Inner Peace
Sadhguru’s method is not complicated. By putting your hands together in perfect alignment and gazing at something with love and appreciation for 10-12 minutes a day, you will notice significant changes. This practice calms the mind and brings awareness to the vital things around us, like the sun, the air we breathe, or even a person close to us.
