Hi,
The book "occult medicine and practical medicine" lists a mantra cure for the mental body (S M HON) and several for the physical body (IN EN ON UN AN), but to my knowledge nothing for the astral body.
I'd be interested as I have a lot of stress (which, I agree should be cured with a lot of meditation, as I already do) and would like to know if there are such mantras for the astral body also, as it is the place of emotions and should thus be the originator of my physical problems I see due to a lot of stress (If I understand it correctly).
So the question is indeed if such a cure exists, as an extra to internal meditation and the Tibetan rites, that I also practice (almost) daily.
Kind regards,
O.

Stress is caused by unresolved conflicts in the psyche. The best cure for stress is to address the problem that is causing it.

Students are stressed when having homework, but no matter how much they meditate or drink tea or sit in a hot bath, the stress will not be resolved until the work is done. It is better to get the work done first, then one can truly relax.

Whenever stress is an issue we need to analyze it: in every case, the cause of stress is our psychological scenario, not our physical scenario. Some people get stressed open a cardboard box, or other simple, meaningless actions. This stress is merely a psychological habit. Other people can be responsible for the lives of others, yet be relaxed and serene, free of stress. This also, is psychological.

If we can solve the problem that is causing stress, then we do not need to be stressed, we just need to implement the solution. And if there is no solution, then we do not need to be stressed, because there is nothing we can do!

In this way, we can abandon the habit of being stressed.

Stress is a psychological habit that is cured through attention, analysis, and action. The emotional component of stress can be cured through learning how to prevent the arising of stress in the first place. Learn how you create stress, and you can stop doing it.

Thank you very much for your answer Matthew Thomas,

I fully agree with you and that is why I try to meditate as often and long as feasible at this stage of my development.

The onfortunate truth is however that my health has suffered a big deal from my previous, long time, non dealing with stress. So this means I also need to get my bodies back in shape, and although reducing stress is a big component of this, I'd like to know if there are supporting practices, especially for the astral lunar body, as I think this is the one affected by me not coping with stress in the past.
I say in the past, but although I do quit some meditation it is still really difficult, altough getting easier due to the practices. But is is, obviously, a slow path.

Kind regards,

O.
