How we don't see Stress, but make its consequence the "problem to solve"

Imagine a world without heart disease, brain strokes, diabetes, cancer, hormonal, gastric, and respiratory problems. Doctors would be pretty much out of business, right?

I had a brush with a doctor while in 2nd year of my Engineering course. Not for anything as severe as the abovementioned issues, but for a simple problem that helps make my case for this article. A problem that helped the doctor feed his industry for 21 years.

I was diagnosed with astigmatism by an ophthalmologist of repute. Astigmatism is scientifically defined as a condition that causes a dent in the corneal curvature, making it difficult to focus at any distance. "Wear these specs 24x7," I was advised.

I must confess, it felt pretty good then. I looked like more of a "serious" engineer. The "problem" had been identified and miraculously solved! And for the next 21 years I tried all sorts of glasses, photochromes and whatnot. Re-testing every now and then.

Until I came upon the mind-body connection, thanks to Louise Hay. With her enormous body of research, she identifies astigmatism as the label given to an energetic state wherein we fail to "see our own beauty and magnificence." That got me thinking.

Could the 17-year-old-me have been so overwhelmed by the IIT atmosphere that he developed an unspoken stress, which could have manifested in an inferiority complex, or (more acceptably), in "I-trouble?" I went with the stress theory and applied the principles.

It took about an year, but that was 15 years ago. 15 years that have gone by without spectacles, or even the hint of an inability to focus. 15 years over which I have internalized the principles and now teach them. 15 years of my crusade to nip stress in the bud.

For years, I had not equated astigmatism with stress. You might not equate heart disease, brain strokes, diabetes, cancer, hormonal, gastric, and respiratory problems with it either. But the moot point is, what if you never have to deal with these conditions?

What if you can work with your mind-body and energy to resolve problems before they acquire labels? Here's one of my courses to make a start: https://ipws.teachable.com/p/inner-power-affirmations PM me and I'll send you a 100% discount coupon :-)

Love this! This piece is by far the most touching article, I've read in the recent times Sandeep Nath. I am often found 'stressing' in my conversations.. That 'taking stress' is a choice. I'm sure I'm going to gain deeper insights from your the courses prescribed. Thank you for your kindness Sandeep
