Buddhism and chanting Buddha have magical effects on depression-simple experience!
Original author: Valley Miko
I found that chanting has a great magical effect on treating depression. That kind of unspeakable beauty is really unpredictable and unimaginable. This is my personal experience. Please read my words patiently. I suggest you try it yourself. Feel it with a solemn attitude and a sincere heart! It must work.
I am a depressed patient for many years, and now I feel good after I fully recover. Besides work, I can do housework easily and hum songs happily without feeling tired at all. When I am sick, when I do housework, I feel very tired. I often don't want to clean. My home is always dirty and I am anxious. My clothes must be washed. I don't want to wash them. The floor had to be wiped, and things were scattered everywhere. What a mess. I hate not being a woman. If I were a good woman, I should clean my home. But my health is really disappointing. I am upset, dizzy, bloated and listless every day. I feel uncomfortable here or there. People are listless all day, especially tired, and can't sleep well at night. I always yawn and feel dizzy during the day. Don't want to stand when you can sit, and don't want to sit when you can lie down. In fact, I don't want to "sink" like this. I have repeatedly told myself to be strong and cheer up, but I have no ability to overcome it. This is not based on my will. I can't control myself. I always feel that my heart is willing but my strength is weak. The body is like a body stripped of its soul, wandering around the world like a walking corpse, and its hands and feet are not its own and have no effect. I can't tell you how bitter it is! These days are really hard, and the past is unbearable.
Over the years, I am unwilling to give in to fate, active treatment, multi-pronged, physical exercise, diet adjustment, repeated circulation of Chinese and Western medicine, and I have not surrendered to this stubborn disease. I don't know what terminal illness I have. I feel helpless and want to cry. 0 1, finally found a famous expert in psychiatry in a big hospital and made the most correct diagnosis-depression. Finally, I decided to take Prozac, and he made me insist on taking the medicine for a long time. I respect "teaching" and dare not neglect it at all. In the past three years, I have eaten Prozac on time and in quantity, and spent more than 10 thousand, but I still feel a little uncomfortable. I am not a healthy person, so I don't want to do anything, I am lazy, and I feel hard at work and housework. I feel depressed from time to time, and I have read many articles on psychological counseling. I also remember many inspirational quotes, good theories and life lessons, which filled the whole chest, but they were of little use at critical moments. Once you encounter a small "setback", just like Lei Feng, you throw away the good idea of "seeing more about the world, broadening your horizons, being selfless and benefiting others", and you still have a mean heart and your mood drops instantly.
"I can't find a place to step on when I wear iron shoes, and I don't have to work hard to get it." Now I take time out to chant Buddhist scripture every day and change my old appearance. I was impressed to say goodbye for three days. Many physical problems have been miraculously eliminated, and I have become a healthy and normal person with an open mind. My husband was surprised to see that my mood and spirit changed so much after chanting, and then he was very interested. Now he also believes in Buddhism. He also takes some time out of his busy schedule to recite the scriptures every day. He said that every time he recited the scriptures, he felt indescribable comfort and spirit, and he didn't feel tired all day. If he didn't chant Buddhist scripture that day, he really felt as uncomfortable as missing a meal.
Chanting scriptures really has a magical effect on treating depression.
I think it can be reasonably explained from the perspective of science or superstition. From the superstitious point of view, chanting more scriptures is to eliminate karma, and increasing merit can help you eliminate all diseases and pains, which cannot be considered. From a scientific point of view, when you read the scriptures word for word, your nervous system is in a state of considerable concentration. Without a high degree of concentration, it is difficult to read the scriptures smoothly. Your brain must get rid of all distractions. Your voice and breath keep pouring out of your mouth, throat and abdomen ... what a harmonious nerve movement. I think this "process" is a rest of the nervous system. Wonderful!
When chanting, your nervous system is constantly adjusting, massaging, increasing immunity and secreting neurotransmitters that you usually lack, and then you will unconsciously transition to a stable and balanced normal state. If you insist on chanting, your thoughts will be completely eliminated, and you will feel how narrow and persistent you used to be. At this time, calm down, and the things that come out of your mind are classics. The more you taste, the more enjoyable you are. I can't bear to worry about the future and fate. That's how I feel now, and so is my husband. He also told me yesterday that when he was waiting for the bus, the sentence in the Bible popped up in his mind: everything happens for a reason. Like a bubble of dreams. Such as dew is also like electricity. We should look at it this way. . . . I call practicing Buddhism and chanting Buddhism a shortcut to the recovery of the nervous system.
Inadvertently chanting, the natural ideal goal has been achieved-your brain command has been adjusted to a vibrant, healthy and normal state.
It is no longer a failed headquarters. It is healthy and strong, so you don't need to learn theory, relax, untie your heart and do those thankless psychological consultations, because it is immune, it can put an end to all "mental diseases", it can be controlled freely, needless to say, it has the ability to tame depressed bad horses freely, it is the master, it is no longer a slave, and it is no longer allowed to be bad.
Friends, do you think my analysis is correct? This is the crystallization of my long-term exploration of depression patients for more than ten years.
All the Buddhist friends I know are open-minded and generous, never haggle over every ounce, and their mental state is excellent. Their lives are very happy and their careers are very successful. Chanting is a compulsory course for them every day.
Now, I finally understand why people often say that practicing Buddhism can cure diseases that hospitals can't. I have learned many such examples from the internet and life. It's just that I've never paid attention. I believe in science and I believe in hospitals very much. I have always believed in "death"-the greatness of medicine is immeasurable and unparalleled. I've been taking Prozac for nearly three years, and it costs several hundred yuan a month!
I want to make it clear here that I am not telling my friends not to believe in medicine. Those who should take medicine should take medicine as usual, and those who are sick should go to the hospital. But for some chronic diseases that have not recovered after long-term treatment in the hospital, don't refuse to take medicine. For example, some of our patients with depression really took a lot of medicine! How is your health? Are you fully recovered? No. So we should listen to other people's "prescriptions" for physical recovery, at least try it, and don't deny it at the beginning, right? )
In the past, when my neighbors saw that I was in poor health, they told me many times to practice Buddhism, saying that chanting scriptures had special benefits for my health, but I never took it seriously and just smiled. I really regret waking up too late and acting too late. During the period, I ate a lot, suffered a lot, understood best, and broke a lot of money. The traditional Chinese medicine I eat can be pulled by a scooter, and countless old Chinese medicine practitioners have come to see me. Stubborn depression still torments me wantonly.
Depressed friends, act quickly. If the condition is serious, you can take medicine while chanting Buddha until you reach a stable state, and you can stop taking the medicine.
