KEEP CALM

The epidemic is also one of stress, of accumulated fears that destabilize and cause loss of self-confidence in one’s ability to cope. This is understandable. But more than ever, restoring and maintaining emotional stability is a necessity.

This involves activating relational support (telephone or Internet contacts with family, relatives, friends, etc.) or, in the event of difficulty, calling on professionals who can be mobilized during this period (for example, via certain telephone platforms for reliable psychological support set up by institutions).

Moreover, on an individual level, it is possible for each of us, believers or non-believers, to put into practice a few simple techniques that can help us regain calm or keep it over time.

“The culture of calm makes us less and less vulnerable to outside influences”, it has “a happy effect on health. “It has a positive effect on health. It has a positive effect on the environment and society.

Practicing positive autosuggestion  

“Fear fixes attention on the dark side of things, on the negative. She is a pessimist. It depresses, paralyses the faculties. We need to neutralize it by confronting it with thoughts of courage, confidence, optimism, self-confidence. “(The Yoga of Practical Life)

Positive autosuggestion is a means of developing self-confidence: the method is developed in the book cited above.

An adapted formula, accepted in the deepest part of oneself, is effective. Recorded, displayed, repeated, it permeates the subconscious, makes the efforts made to succeed effective, supports the process of transformation in the chosen direction.

Technique to develop self-confidence

Use one formula at a time, for example:

“I am more calm and in control of myself. »

“I’m getting stronger and stronger. »

“I’m getting more and more confident and self-assured. »

An important point : live in the awareness of the fulfillment of one’s affirmation.

Here is a possible complement before making an affirmation:

  • Standing or sitting (facing north or east), relax. Breathe calmly.
  • Send thoughts of peace, love, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity in all directions of space.
  • Think: “I am in Unity with the Divine Consciousness. »
  • Pronounce the chosen statement.

Master the unbridled imagination

Fear unleashes, with harmful imagination, the “cyclone of emotions”. It is a matter of taking a step back, exercising one’s reason and the vigilance required in the face of events.

Taken from Meditation for the Mastery of the Imagination (in The Law of Evolution of Souls, ch. XXIV ), here is an affirmation that can help us to stay in balance:

“I am a Center of strength, light, consciousness.

I control my mind better and better.

I am more and more positive in all circumstances.

Nothing negative can reach me.

I remain serene, calm and in control of myself in all circumstances. »

This affirmation can be accompanied by the repetition of the OM sound.
