Every one of us experience issues of mental health at some point. Stress, anxiety, and depression are common states that affect our minds. By selfenquiry we can realize that there is only one universal consciousness, called the Self. We are able to tap into states of higher consciousness and move toward healing and wholeness.
From a wealth of experience, both spiritual and practical, Dr. Akshya Vasudev offers a very relatable framework for understanding our true nature and offers methods of being centered in the Self. Meditation exercises and breath work are included as ways to relieve stress and anxiety and increase awareness of the universal Truth, allowing healing and restoration of mental health. Through self-enquiry, regular reflection and a contemplation practice, we can get glimpses of our true nature, which is existence, awareness, and bliss.
Rooted in Hindu religion, or Sanatana Dharma, this book blends knowledge of ancient Vedanta with modern cognitive behaviour therapy. Using this combination of Eastern traditions and Western practices, we have immense potential to be healed, not by something or someone, but by our own Self, our own Divine nature.
