The Spiritual Connection to Behavioral and Emotional Conditions
Did you know that many modern day behavioral and emotional conditions originate with a spiritual cause? If you do not address the spiritual component often the best you can hope for is to maintain the condition but perhaps never overcome it. Some of the these conditions include but are not limited to the following:
|
Excessive Worry or Fear |
Eating Disorders |
We live in a world where more and more priority is being shifted to the physical. From the minute we wake, we think about finances, work, school, deadlines, shuttling kids around, maintaining the home, material pursuits, physical desires, recreation, and the list goes endlessly on. If we have any time left, we might address our mental and emotional needs, but usually there is no time. So they are pushed aside or deep down inside, hoping that they will go away and yet they rarely do.
If our attention to the emotions and mind are lacking, then addressing the spiritual side of life is probably a low or nonexistent priority. Neglecting the spiritual body is similar to gradually depriving the physical body of water, food, exercise, and air. It will slowly waste away, becoming diseased, necrotic and unable to function. We can see the results of this spiritual neglect all around us today.
It seems like every other person you meet is on some form of advanced medication designed to quell their fears, worries, stresses, and anxieties. The rate of divorce and single parent families is increasing, while crime (especially violent crime and terrorism) is on the rise. How did we get here? It hasn’t always been this way. The answer is that we are slowly losing our spiritual gifts, the celestial light and knowledge necessary to function and to navigate life in a happy and productive manner.
