If the soul hurts, then it seems that life no longer has those bright colors. And only medical help and spiritual development will help cope with the pain of the soul.
We often don’t think about our state of mind. If, for example, we have a back pain, we definitely go to the doctor. To the best doctor so that he can make the correct diagnosis of our disease. But that’s when we feel indifferent, indifferent, or sometimes have a nagging feeling in the pit of our stomach, and it’s not clear what we want.
We are overwhelmed by doubts or fears, we break into a cold sweat, or we definitely want to meet a friend and share our pain. It has often happened to you when your friend constantly complains about troubles and misfortunes. It's time to help your friend. This means that his soul hurts.
Soul: what is it?
The soul is that part of you, thanks to which you live, it seems to permeate us. She is everywhere and in our entire existence.
A very large part of what you describe as an “individual”, what you study so diligently, what you are especially interested in, is just how your body works. Your body can be dressed, changed, the body may or may not exist. Our whims, memory, interest, fear are not your personality, not what describes it.
For example, a person's brain may have Alzheimer's disease, but this disease has nothing to do with his soul. The brain is a part of our body through which your soul manifests itself, but the activity of the brain is not the state of a person’s soul, it is not the soul.
If a person suffered some kind of suffering, was imprisoned or was ill for a long time. Such a person asks questions: Why do I need all this? Does the Lord see where I am? Lord are you near?
Soul
- When the great elders talk about the soul, they recognize that the soul is part of the deep unknowable, like the Lord God himself. This is the part of us that can speak to the Lord without translators. And this is a disappointment for modern man, who must know, weigh, measure everything. And then a person begins to doubt the existence of a soul at all; he mistakes a certain brain function for a soul.
- A person's life is much more than the activity of his brain cells. The soul is the meaning of our existence. The soul needs to be nurtured and nurtured. It is imperative to pray to the Virgin Mary and the Lord God our Savior for the salvation of your soul. The soul was created to save man. We understand our soul better when we offer prayers to the Lord Jesus Christ, and our soul is cleansed.
You need to sincerely repent of your sins. This will help us get closer to the Lord and take the path of preserving our soul. After all, a person can be dead, and his soul languishes in anticipation of prayers being offered for it. And we pray for our deceased relatives, patrons, and friends. You also need to offer prayers for the living. Because the soul of a living person also needs to be mentioned. The Lord will look at his child, and perhaps the deeply sick person will be healed.
Mental repentance
The soul is our very life. And we must live our lives in godliness. Even the Lord said that the salvation of the soul passes through suffering. The Lord said that those who follow him must “carry their cross.” Go in the direction God shows and carry “your cross” with dignity. So that life can help the soul in self-realization. The soul hurts when the Lord allows pain to fall upon us so that we can see the path of salvation more clearly. Salvation for us and our kind. Because if just one person prays for salvation, his entire family will be saved.
Reasons for the development of the condition
Psychology describes many reasons for the appearance of mental torment. All of them lead to a feeling of emptiness, a lack of something important, and painful experiences.
Among the events and situations that can cause suffering in the soul, the most common are:
- loss of a loved one;
- lack of reciprocity or breakdown of personal relationships;
- unbearable loneliness;
- disappointment in the people around you;
- guilt;
- disappointment in the profession, lack of confidence in one’s abilities;
- feeling of uselessness in society;
- loss of meaning in life;
- inability to achieve the set goal.
What is the reason when the soul hurts?
Every sane person understands that it is impossible to live in a state of constant pain. And it is not the pain that is important, but the reason that caused it. As soon as something starts to hurt in our body, we try to figure out the location of the pain and identify its beginning. We turn to a specialist to help us heal. But which specialist should you turn to when your soul hurts?
Where does the signal come from that the soul hurts ? How to understand and recognize this? How to help a tormented soul? Have you asked yourself these questions? I think no. But it would be necessary.
Pain in the soul
- The signal of pain maybe comes to our brain, or maybe to the heart, because it gets it too, maybe the solar plexus receives this signal and begins to ache? Unfortunately, none of our organs can receive signals from our consciousness. It, according to modern science, is outside of man. Therefore, according to science, consciousness cannot exist in the body. It turns out that it’s not the body that hurts.
- In this case, we turn to the Lord. The priests say that the concentration of sin causes mental pain. The first thing the person who will be treated must admit. This is the presence of sins.
- Nowadays it is completely unfashionable to talk about sin. Probably because people who are far from the church believe that priests need to follow some rules, and not ourselves. But sin is a criminal act against one’s own soul.
Sin causes pain
The motto of man today is “take everything from life.” But this way you can get to anything. And if there is a loss of a loved one. We do not realize that it is our sins that manifest themselves this way. Pain in our various crisis situations is caused by our pride, envy, and vindictiveness. Hence the conclusion, and it is only one - we have damaged our soul somewhere. After all, the loss of a relationship would not be so painful if it were not for pride and narcissism.
Causes of sadness and how to deal with it
Before you fight sadness, you need to find out its cause. Let's look at some of the main causes of sadness, as well as ways to combat it. So, most often the soul becomes sad and lousy for the following reasons:
- loss (death of a loved one, divorce, separation);
- relationship problems;
- melancholy for no apparent reason.
Loss
Perhaps the most difficult test in life is to survive the death of a loved one. It is very painful, difficult and bitter to lose loved ones. But you have to get over it. Usually the first few days after the incident a person is in shock. He cannot fully comprehend what happened.
Then, a week after the tragedy, the person realizes that he has lost a close friend or relative forever. He is overcome by acute emotional and sometimes even physical pain. Over time it fades and becomes a little easier.
It is very difficult to advise anything in such a situation. Recommendations like - find yourself a new activity or look for new experiences - are meaningless. In a state of difficult experience, a person does not want to do absolutely anything. But you shouldn’t immerse yourself entirely in your grief. This will lead to deep depression and mental disorders.
The “black” longing for the departed person should turn into light sadness. This, of course, will require time and effort. First of all, remember those who stayed next to you. These people need you. Pay attention to them.
The pain of loss helps ease work and solving pressing matters. In order not to endlessly chase thoughts about the departed person in your head, immerse yourself in work or a hobby. By the way, when we grieve the loss of a loved one, we feel sorry for ourselves. We cannot imagine life without this person, and therefore we grieve. But we don’t know where he went. Perhaps he is better there than on earth.
Divorce or separation is much easier to cope with than the death of loved ones. Although at first it seems that life is over. It is difficult to imagine your bright future without familiar relationships.
In this case, you need to distract yourself from negative thoughts associated with divorce. If people disagree, it means they don’t like each other in some way. You will still meet a person with whom you will live in perfect harmony. And you will find happiness again.
But you understand perfectly well that sitting at home and mourning the past, you will not find love.
Keep meeting your friends. Add bright emotions and colors to your life. Update your wardrobe, go for a massage, go to the hairdresser, change your image. Gradually you will feel that you are ready for new acquaintances and relationships. Read about how to love yourself on the website.
Relationship problems
If in a relationship you are more often sad than happy, then you should think about ending it. Relationships shouldn't be painful. Discuss your experiences with your significant other. Were you able to find a compromise and solve the problem? Wonderful!
If nothing changes and you still continue to suffer, break this painful connection. Parting will be a difficult test, but in the future it will bring relief and the opportunity to meet true love.
Longing for no apparent reason
Sometimes it happens that everything seems to be fine in life. Everyone is alive and well. But for some reason it became sad and depressing. Although there is no objective reason for sadness, and you don’t understand why your soul feels so bad. Allow yourself to be a little sad and try to find the reason for the blues.
- Think that you are doing well. You are healthy, your loved ones are also in good health. You don't have any serious problems. Thank fate for this. And you will immediately feel how you will feel better. Turn on your favorite music, read an interesting book. They will help you distract from unnecessary, unreasonable thoughts.
- Perhaps you are simply tired from household chores or work. Give yourself a few days to fully relax. Take some time off from work and go on a short trip.
- Gray and monotonous everyday life also spoils the mood. New experiences will help to disperse the melancholy caused by the daily routine. Do something you've never tried before. Provide yourself with new and unique emotions. Go to a concert, go hiking, dance, ski, go for a bike ride. There are a lot of options!
- Sadness can also settle in the soul from loneliness. Even the most die-hard introvert needs a friend. Surely you have at least one friend whom you can invite to the cinema or for a walk. If not, try expanding your circle of acquaintances. Sign up for courses, register on the forum that interests you. There are a lot of people in the world. And somewhere your soul mate is wandering.
I recommend watching the following video when you feel sad again.
My soul hurts: what to do?
There are specially trained people who can help in this case - these are psychologists, psychotherapists, and Gestalt psychologists.
- Therefore, be sure to consult a psychotherapist. After all, if you have joint pain, you go to a traumatologist. You turn to a specialist, and he helps you. It’s the same with the soul; it must be treated by a specialist.
- If everything is not as you imagine, you suffer from insomnia at night, or problems just keep getting worse. People don't know what to do in this case. They often go to church to see the priest, turn to a friend, or, more interestingly, go to a fortune teller to find out the future and remove the evil eye from themselves. And this gives people relief! So be it.
Contacting a psychotherapist
- Everyone you turn to will definitely listen to you, drive away doubts from the height of their experience, advise and reassure you. You will feel calmer and more pleasant, but before the next obstacles in life arise. And these same obstacles will definitely come, not because you are so flawed, but because our life, at every new turn, sets before us its own new goals and missions, which we must fulfill and realize. So what should I do? Again we need a person who will help us solve all these problems, again we need to run for help to someone who can solve our unique situation?
- People often turn to a psychotherapist to understand or realize a situation or to get an answer to a question that is tormenting a person. Typically, this situation is called “consulting.”
- It is assumed that the psychotherapist can see the situation from a different angle, help figure out why the soul hurts , and give specific hints on how to act in various cases.
Consultation usually takes approximately one hour. After the consultation, a person comes out with a new, formed during the conversation, awareness of his question, from a slightly different angle of the situation considered, he receives a different, previously invisible direction of his attention and concentration. It is understood that a psychotherapist is a person who is an expert in various areas of life, and he can turn his consciousness and see a solution in a different direction of thinking.
Treatment
- It happens that a person who has turned to a psychotherapist is stuck in a very difficult situation, and it is not possible to solve it right away, without outside help. We need a person who will lead the planned course.
- And then a situation arises when two people: a psychotherapist and a counselee, unite to reach a solution to the issue. If the issue that is being resolved has matured recently, and does not have its roots in distant childhood, then this request is resolved in several consultations, one or two.
- However, if the soul hurts and it has roots in childhood and contains many layers that need to be dismantled, then the counseling process will take considerable time. Then you need a lot of work, which can take time from several months to several years.
Psychologist's advice
Let's look at the main tips from psychologists to combat blues and sadness.
Determine the cause
We have already discussed the main reasons for bad mood. The mood drops due to troubles, failures, and misfortunes. However, not all. It all depends on how you yourself perceive the situation. Stress-tolerant people's mood deteriorates much less often than those who are completely unable to cope with their emotions.
And adrenaline, cortisol and other “stress hormones” are to blame. They are produced in large quantities in the body when a person experiences stress. It is these hormones that cause us anger, fear, uncertainty, shame, guilt and other negative emotions. To block the excessive production of these hormones, you need to learn to control yourself.
When you determine the cause of your sadness, leave it in the past. Move into the future without this unnecessary burden. Do not let such situations disturb your inner peace and harmony.
Let go of the past
If you feel bad because you feel guilty towards another person, ask him for forgiveness. Sincerely reveal your feelings and emotions to him. You can do it in person, or you can do it in a letter. Has he forgiven you? Amazing! You can breathe a sigh of relief and move on with your life easily. If not, then it is his choice to live with the burden of resentment.
Or, on the contrary, you were offended and the feeling of disappointment does not go away. Resentment is a very caustic emotion. It is imperative that you deal with it, even if the offender does not seek to ask for your forgiveness. First of all, stop dwelling on resentment. Fill your life with bright emotions and impressions, against the background of which your resentment will fade and disappear altogether.
Change the scenery
Even the smallest trip can lift your spirits. Sometimes, when your soul becomes sick, you just need to break out of your usual environment and city for a day or a week. Choose a place you've never been to. You don't have to fly abroad. Where you live, there are probably still places you haven’t explored.
Have you ever seen a sunrise in the mountains? It's magical! The calmness and tranquility of the mountains is conveyed to everyone who has ever climbed to the top. There, between heaven and earth, all those troubles that you allowed to spoil your mood begin to seem like something insignificant and small.
Visit a psychotherapist
If sadness still won’t let you go and you no longer know what to do, seek help from a psychotherapist. It will help you:
- to know yourself;
- find out your true desires;
- determine goals in life;
- find a path that will help you realize yourself;
- identify the root cause of your problems;
- overcome fears;
- learn to express emotions and communicate with people.
After all, often we just need to talk it out so that the sadness goes away. If you have absolutely no one to talk to, go to a psychotherapist.
Soul pain: how to treat?
Pain torments every person, it can be physical and mental. But in any case, a person tries to heal his body or soul as quickly as possible. Everyone dreams that the pain will go away and leave the person.
- Of course, I need to tell myself that if something hurts, it’s not an evil condition. Pain is our body’s lever to show us that something is not going as it should. If a person didn’t have any pain, we wouldn’t be sitting here today.
- Pain is our help in a very difficult situation. Therefore, let us say “thank you” for the fact that we can feel pain.
- For example, how would you look at a person who scolds a dog for barking? It is the barking that prevents him from sleeping. He doesn't think it's possible that thieves are breaking into his barn. He scolds his dog. He's too lazy to get up and go see what's going on. You will call such a person a fool (or maybe even more so).
Pain
We become very much like this person when mental pain brings suffering! Unfortunately, we do not try to see the very essence of our pain. We endure when our soul hurts , we endure to the point of dullness, a state when we have no strength to endure. We avoid realizing the root cause of pain, we hide like an ostrich with our head in the sand, just not to see the obvious. We do not address the cause of pain.
People who are trying to escape pain will heal through suicide. They are reminiscent of that person who scolds a dog, and does not look for the reason why it barks. These people believe that if you remove the body, the pain will go away. But it’s not the body that hurts! It's like if you treated a cold by amputating your arm.
The soul hurts: help from a psychotherapist
Another way to help if your soul hurts is the help of a psychotherapist. Our Western colleagues believe that a psychotherapist should prescribe medications for the patient to recover. And these must be people with the education of a doctor or at least a nurse. In the vastness of the former Union, everything is different. A psychotherapist can be called every psychologist who can help a person see himself from the outside or sort out all his negativity with the patient.
People who are not involved in medicine often ask – who is a psychotherapist? Who can he help? What is psychotherapy anyway? It simply cannot be explained in a nutshell. Help a person get out of a difficult situation? Turn your focus on the problem in a different direction? This is probably “the one who heals the soul ” - to put it in a nutshell. Warm enough. “Achieving peace, the road leading to light” also describes the work of a psychotherapist quite closely. Identifying a combination of words to describe who a psychotherapist is is quite difficult.
Help Wanted
When the whole world around you has taken up arms against you and your soul is very painful , you understand that in order to change something, you need to change the course of the sailing ship - and now you are in the hands of an experienced psychotherapist. This path begins somewhere inside a person, when he asks himself unspoken questions: What to do in a given situation? How to turn the solution to the issue in the right direction? Who is this person - me? What should I achieve in this life? And when it becomes unbearably painful, and we understand that we need to categorically change everything in this life.
- The first thing that is necessarily present when working with a psychotherapist is the discomfort that the person who seeks help has. After all, if a person is at peace and comfortable, then there are no motives to move forward. So it turns out that what brings us to psychotherapists is sadness, torment, the intolerability of the situation, the experience.
- In any case, a person should thank the current conditions, because they force us to change, change the rules of life, change our social circle. In a word – act.
Will my soul stop hurting after treatment with a psychotherapist?
A psychotherapist will by no means change your life simply by conducting a consultation. The same stereotypes will remain in your experience of behavior, which you can always apply to the most appropriate situation. However, a psychotherapist can show you new models of behavior that are most appropriate to the new situation. And in your life you will be able to use a wider range of skills to solve a wide variety of situations.
The road to a bright future
- You will be able to emerge with dignity and be a winner in the most difficult issues. A variety of clients say that a psychotherapist can completely change a person, that he becomes different.
- However, the psychotherapist simply shows the person the possibility of developing the situation in a completely different direction, and in no way influences the psyche of his ward. A person will remain himself, but he will be able to act differently, based on the given conditions of the situation.
- A person cannot change completely; he remains who he was to an even higher degree. When you climbed the ladder of life, the people who surrounded you saw you from one point of view or maybe from several.
- But you are a multifaceted person; there are many sides to your behavior from which you can be looked at. Man is such a huge metagalaxy, vast, wide, with different sides. And a person imagines himself as a small town, as a small estate, without perceiving all the biggest and most immense things in himself. And this is understandable; a person does not always want to grow and develop. He understands that that very hidden part will require development, and you may not be ready for this. And in such a situation, the soul definitely begins to ache.
Session
It is precisely after visiting a psychotherapist that you risk parting with your childhood illusions, with the illusory nature of your present. You are moving to a completely new level of consciousness and behavior in a specific situation. And if you have embarked on a serious journey towards yourself, then you are obviously a real brave person. A brave man in all his manifestations, (like Baron Munchausen), accomplishing his achievements regularly and according to plan.
During all these journeys, perhaps more than once, you will want to stop and do nothing else. This is understandable, because you need to learn a new model of behavior and learn to apply it in practice, in a specific case. Without studying the behavior pattern, you will not be able to move on. Our body requires alternating periods of peace and satisfaction with periods of searching for new forms of behavior.
The main task of a psychotherapist is to return you to the unity of all opposites. So that later you can choose the most important model of behavior for yourself in a given situation. Psychotherapy is a spiral movement. You can study the cosmos within yourself as much as you need. You can grow just as much and be a little further from your former self.
How to behave so as not to make things worse
Attempts to alleviate the psychological state with the help of alcohol will lead to a worsening of the painful situation. After alcohol or drug intoxication, problems only increase. It is impossible to get rid of mental torment by relying only on your own strength. Every person is able to soberly assess his condition, find an outlet among loved ones or strangers.
You cannot isolate yourself or pretend that the problem does not exist. In order not to aggravate the current situation, you need to accept the situation and talk it over with someone, not allowing negativity to penetrate your inner world. It’s bad when a person runs away from solving a problem and becomes more and more immersed in his experiences. Refusal to communicate and participate in the life of society negatively affects the psychological state.
Pain of the soul: why is it given to people?
All life around you contains a certain cycle, winter gives way to spring, rain to sun, childhood to youth, and sadness to joy. Especially in your psyche there is a need to go through cycles. We have a cycle of peace, pleasure and delight. And this cycle changes, because it is impossible to linger in it, peace will develop into sadness, delight will develop into a kind of satiety, and pleasure brings us sadness. And you have to leave your comfort zone and restore balance and calm again.
It is important to restore balance
- It sounds very strange, but you should see better in all your problems, you should be grateful to them. After all, everything bad that happens to you is aimed at making you change, become different, and act for your life. However, it happens that there are people who cannot use crisis situations to move upward.
- These people spend a huge amount of energy not to fall into a crisis situation, and ultimately not to develop. But everyone cannot get rid of the crisis and a person begins to react to the crisis with a different set of means that were at his disposal before.
- The result of this is that it is difficult to overcome crisis situations or the inability to look from a different point of view, but in the end it is necessary to accept a new concept of a solution to the situation at hand.
- Here a person complains that his “soul hurts ,” this indicates that a situation has arisen in which the levers acquired in childhood or adolescence do not work, and the situation needs to be considered from a completely different point of view, perhaps radically different from previous attitudes and stereotypes. Often people don’t even understand what these levers can be and how they can work in a particular situation.
- And the more restrictions you received from your parents as a child, the narrower your methods of getting out of this situation will be. When you were children, your parents needed these restrictions to keep you safe. But you have grown up, and your behavior patterns may differ significantly from those you used before.
It turns out that over time you see that your stereotypes do not work: your bosses do not recognize your merits, your husband left for his mistress, your parents are always not happy with something. And you understand that life passes, and the previous model of behavior of being convenient for everyone does not work. And you decide to change something in your life.
Over time we see that stereotypes do not work
- The first thing that comes to mind is to turn to a shaman or fortune teller, but then you realize that this is all wrong. And you need a person who can open your eyes to a completely new level of development, you turn to a psychotherapist.
- And of course, this person helps you develop the situation into the necessary formulations. In the end, everything turns out to be completely not scary.
- At first, this or that decision will seem quite strange to you. This is understandable, because from childhood you brought a bunch of different attitudes and permissions, even to yourself, into adulthood. But the new model of behavior has a decisive impact on your psyche and allows you to do things that you could not do without talking to a psychotherapist.
For example: you were raised by your grandmother as a child. Grandmother invested in you knowledge and various skills so that you studied well and achieved heights in learning. When you were in school and in technical college, everything worked out great for you. But now I’ve graduated from college, and I need to get a job.
In a team, you show that you know how to learn, but here you need the ability to interact with people, your skills no longer work here. And you need to rebuild or you remain at the same stage of development. Many of your fellow students have already made a couple. But you can’t build relationships with girls, because a girl can’t always understand what you tell her about technology. She wants simple human warmth. And you think that your scholarship will bring you success.
So it turns out that you find yourself in a crisis situation and your soul hurts . You studied a lot, you know a lot. And in your adult life, people need completely different qualities from you. A friend will tell you: “Relax! Everything is fine! Look at the world more simply!” This is where all your ideas will collapse. You don’t understand at all how to relax, what it means to “be simpler” and how it is.
Heartache
The main thing for you is to bring new skills into your life. It’s not easier to expand your horizons, go deeper, become more streamlined or something. Be able to prioritize not your knowledge, but the ability to communicate with the people around you. You must think that you can trust not only knowledge, but also your inner personality; you must be prepared to be immersed in the world of feelings and relationships. You need to value yourself and the people around you not for your intelligence, but perhaps for some stupidity, you need to accept yourself as such.
Instructions for overcoming sadness
I want to offer you unusual instructions that will help you cope with negative emotions. It is compiled on the basis of spiritual practices and has nothing to do with the advice of psychologists.
Step 1. Don't hide from emotions
When your soul becomes restless, it is very important to realize what is happening inside. It is not enough to simply understand. You just need to realize it. This means that you must understand and accept these emotions. Accept the fact that you feel bad and hard. But you shouldn’t think about why this is happening to you and what it’s all about.
Tell yourself: “This is how I feel! This is my pain, my sadness, my feelings and emotions.”
Step 2. Immerse yourself in sensations
Once you have fully accepted your emotions, immerse yourself in your state. Feel how your body reacts to the feelings you are experiencing. This is what is happening to you at the moment. And it doesn’t matter at all why this happened. What caused these emotions.
Cry if you want to cry. But don’t start feeling sorry for yourself or scolding yourself.
Step 3. Imagine that the mind is not you
The mind evaluates our actions and everything that happens around us: this is good, but this is bad. This happens automatically and unconsciously. A person is accustomed to believing that his mind is himself. And there are more than 7 billion such minds on our planet. And everyone gives their own subjective assessment.
At the same time, we become so accustomed to our assessment that we desperately suffer in situations that are essentially empty and worthless. The mind loves to exaggerate everything.
Now try to imagine your mind as something independent of you. Think about what he looks like? In the shape of a cloud or a soap bubble? Where is he located? On right? Left? Over you? Let your imagination run wild.
The most important thing is to feel that the mind is not part of you.
Step 4. Feel your condition again
Re-immerse yourself in your sensations. But now, as if from the outside, observe how the mind sends you thoughts. So he sent the idea that you shouldn’t have done that. But the thought is that you don’t know what to do next.
Notice all these thoughts coming from outside. But don't take the mind's assessments personally. You will see how thoughts are born on their own, filling your head. And the longer you watch them, the fewer they become. And the less often they come to mind.
On the site you will also find an article on how to get rid of negative thoughts.
Step 5. Observe emotions
Feel your emotions as sensations inside your body. Record the thoughts that your mind sends to you. Don't analyze them, don't take them personally, don't evaluate them. It's just a thought.
When the mind evaluates our negative emotions, they feel heavy and unpleasant. If you don’t evaluate them, they will be neutral.
You will see that it is no longer so uncomfortable to observe feelings. It's even getting interesting. Your mood will probably improve and a little joy will appear. But even in this case, do not evaluate the sensations that arise. Just watch them.
Resentment, sadness, and joy are just sensations inside you. They are no worse and no better than each other. It is your mind that gives them estimates. All sensations are neutral. And that means you shouldn’t have a hard time experiencing certain emotions.
The soul hurts: spiritual help
Do you know that a person has ever asked if everything is okay with my spiritual world? But you often witness when people complain about their lives and the circumstances around them.
- There is, of course, the difference that before a person perceived himself as one whole. We have become a “world without a soul,” a humanity with a focused focus on our own psychological well-being. Previously, work was carried out in society aimed at “mental” well-being. And now there is a struggle for psychological and emotional peace.
- We have become some kind of “well-oiled mechanism,” a society without awareness of spiritual needs, the needs of the soul.
- The soul of a living person is a mysterious and unknown world. The soul is the very thing that a person is. In meaning it is close to “breathe”, “blow”, “breathe”.
- If we just take the body, then without the soul it does not live, does not act. Working on your consciousness is the change in a completely “psycholized” society. Nobody thinks about the health of the soul now. In order for the soul to be completely healthy and not need treatment, the main treatment will be confession and communion.
Knowledge of the soul
It is at confession that a person renounces and repents of the sin he has committed. And during communion, the heavenly spirit descends on him and heals his soul. Modern Christians have adapted the Scriptures to the needs of today's people. All sorts of scriptures (the main meaning of which is that a person on Earth should live happily, be in a happy marriage, not need anything, and have very good health).
Followers of this teaching believe that a person must be rich and happy. Based on this teaching, prosperity is “the love of God.” And people who have wealth are God's anointed. And people believe that the life of a person who goes to church should be better than before and with God.
Today, a person who is focused on success and a successful existence seems to freeze in faith. He does not develop spiritually, but looks only at the material component of the world. It is incredibly important to become a churchgoer, i.e. attend Divine services, be sure to confess and receive communion as often as possible, come to church on holidays, and order the liturgy. And be sure to pray for people living and deceased. Then the person’s soul will be calm.
IMPORTANT: The soul is what we live with now, it seems to spread throughout us. The life of the soul is inconceivable without Communion, since God Himself established this Sacrament, in which we unite with the Lord and He, sanctifying our souls and bodies, forgives us our sins, bestows His feeling of love, a grateful spirit and protection. The Lord in Holy Communion gives us Himself and all spiritual blessings.
Sometimes a person is in some kind of incomprehensible state. No, he’s not feeling bad, he just doesn’t know what to do next. This condition is called “soul pain” . The main thing is not to be discouraged, because despondency is a mortal sin. Go to church, pray, light a candle for the icon and you will feel better. There's no point in getting upset. Everything changes in our lives, relationships, if we don’t understand them, people come and go. The Universe, the Lord God, is teaching us something, the main thing is to accept and understand. Life itself is beautiful and amazing, it gives us so many chances.
IMPORTANT: We have already figured out that the soul hurts when it has a lot of sins. And they need to be eradicated. And remember that the main requirement of the soul is love for the Lord. If you move away from God through your sins, you move away from love. This is where the pain of the soul comes from.
Turn to the Lord often. The Lord is merciful, he loves each of us. The Lord is love. Pray more often, thank the Lord more often for his efforts towards us. And be sure to take communion.
