‘Methodologies for spiritual growth can help overcome fear’
There is a sudden interest in learning spiritual practices. People want to learn how to stay centred, grounded and optimistic in these times.
DR MANMEET KUMAR, Spiritual coach
Mental resilience or spiritual immunity has never been more crucial than now. Apart from the grief of losing loved ones to Covid-19, the endless anxiety and fear associated with the virus has impacted people’s mental well-being. And, spiritual resilience is, undoubtedly, the need of the hour.
Practices such as meditation are known to amplify positive vibrations. Stressing on the significance of these, Dr Manmeet Kumar, a city-based practising spiritual coach, says, “There is a sudden interest in learning spiritual practices. People want to learn how to stay centred, they are interested in knowing about life after death. Above all, they understand that at the root of mental well-being is the need to develop spiritual immunity.”
When a person experiences vibrations at a higher frequency of optimism, there is a positive impact on the immune system. Kumar has been using remedial Bach flowers to help families across India and abroad. Her workshop, Pain to Power, (accessible on www.soulmiracles.in) has been attended by students, corporates, homemakers and touched thousands of lives.
“We all have within us the ability to transform our pain into power. Learning clear methodologies for spiritual growth can help you overcome the fear, panic, anxiety and grief that you may be facing. Beautiful and sustainable results are possible only through spiritual development,” she says.
There’s also the helplessness and frustration of not being able to be with loved ones in their last moments. This grief has jolted many families, who had to be away from their dear ones due to Covid-19 protocols. Some were not even able to visit their family members in the hospital or perform the last rites. It is, therefore, imperative that one is able to handle stress, loneliness, frustration and deal with emotions such as anxiety, fear and grief.
“People who approach us after the death of a loved one are in tremendous emotional pain. We didn’t know how to move forward initially,” shares Kumar, who is now organising Grief Circle for families who have lost loved ones to Covid-19, twice a month. People struggling to cope with such grief and anxiety can join the workshop or attend sessions online.
“Grief Circle is an initiative to heal the emotional pain of those who have lost their family members. The sheer helplessness and suddenness of death are addressed here,” she concludes.
