How to end stress, unhappiness and anxiety to live in a beautiful state | Preetha ji | TEDxKC

If you are stressed-out, anxious or chronically unhappy; this talk will lead you through an authentic journey of self-knowing and freedom to illuminate the root causes of stress. Combining storytelling and meditation, Preethaji’s teachings help shift her students from living in a stressful-state, to living in what she describes as a beautiful state.
In 2009 Preethaji started One World Academy with her husband Krishnaji. One World Academy is a wisdom school for enlightenment based in a new tradition where the focus is on knowing oneself and discovering that we are connected to all that exists.

Preethaji is an enlightened world teacher whose vision is to free individuals of all forms of unhappiness. Preethaji's teachings challenge every justification for living in sorrow and inner isolation or unconscious psychological conformity.

To all those watching this video for their mental health, in case no one tells you today, just know you’re not alone (a lot of us are here for the same reasons) and you’re doing an amazing job getting on top of your mental health. And you should be proud of yourself for doing so. I hope you have an amazing day, and know we’re all here with you :)

Is anyone here just going through the motions and feeling so alone in such a big world? Are you feeling stuck and lost as if you don’t know the next step to take ?

[Mammmma]

Best tip for myself so far was SLEEP and taking a break from the phone. Also focusing more on self-care. Love yourself and your body, you only live once 💕

I’ve had social anxiety, Panic attacks, and insecurities for half of my life. I feel as is life isn’t worth living sometimes and it’s hard to think positive. But I am doing my hardest to find the lighter side to life. I am a mother of 2. One 6 and the other 3. They are happy, loving and positive children. Sometimes I can’t believe they are my babies they are so happy and they love me for me. This is why I am here. To find support and guidance to become better and love myself.

I wish all of you to live in a beautiful state, hugs from me.

She is right...about when we are stressed we mentally preoccupied with ourself. Nothing else matters.

A beautiful speech by a woman who clearly lives her values. I have anxiety and this gives me hope.

[vyrisx]

Absolutely beautiful, I was fully of anxiety, hate and pain, I’ve always been selfish and self centered. Immediately I felt the energy in my heavy heart release, when I started thinking about others around me and my community of friends and family, I still have some work to do but this sent me in the right direction.

[RaxhAndrea]

I came across this today and it was really needed. I’m currently being evicted from my place as landlord is selling and there is a housing crises in my country so no places to go so I’m facing homelessness, I’ve just been diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis, found a lump and I felt like I hit rock bottom. I felt like giving up. But listening to this amazing woman explaining as to why I’m staying in this stressful state it made sense. All I was thinking about was what was going wrong for me and not looking around at what everyone else is going through and when I stopped and did I suddenly felt not so alone. In a strange way I finally felt hope. So thank you. This may very well have saved my life. And I truly hope it can do the same for anyone who is feeling this way. ❤

Don't try to force yourself out of stress..just focus on good and do something you love..only if you allow yourself to get in a beautiful state .. Stress will flow away.

The reason for your anxiety-Whenever u are scared(you must be scared of something, and you must be wanting to come out of it ), you feel it's controlling you and whatever you think you can't do or will happen, you start believing it and then you start fighting the feeling cause you don't like it obviously, but when you fight what u believe in, it just can't happen, you can't get eid of your anxiety this way.
The solution-
The first thing to feel is that you don't have to fight it, treat it as your friend who is trying to understand how your mind works(Believe that thinking like this will work, know it will).This relaxes you a bit.
Now, just analyse every thing that you believe in related to whatever negative thoughts come to you or what you are scared off in other words, and ask yourself, is it even real, what do you really think about the thing you are scared off(you will.get answers here), what could have made it what it is today(answer to that is over thinking and trying to fight what you believe, but try to find natural answers, what you think happened, the fear became big cause you made that a big issue, it is actually nothing but a thought), also if u find it is real and you can do something that makes fear go (like if you are fearful of going broke, plan for what you can do about it). Now happily do what you can if it is real, and happily do nothing if it's unreal, you have understood it is nothing but your imagination at extreme work). You will get better. Have fun.

In anxiety the best thing to do is to educate yourself self and understand the fact that what is real ....
Anxious thoughts made seems so real that we think that this is the reality but it's not... You can see the world as you
So don't look at it at by the anxious way but by a calm and happy

Last month my anxiety got too much (which is growing in me from the last 3 or 4 years)... I get relaxed in those years by hearing and understanding and putting geeta quotes in my
But last month I suffered a lot but I never give up and everything that happened to me and that I thought helped
The first thing that I done is giving a notice to myself that exactly which thoughts made me like this
Because you know thoughts control emotions....
The best that my inner soul told in those anxious days is that my legs are moving, my hands are working and every process in the body is working fine .I have plenty for eat...and I can get the good thought inside me...
Don't wait for the happiness to come because it's always inside you but you just have to find
Don't try to find what makes you happy in that you may do bad things to you but find the Happinesss in the inside...

And the final answer that I got to make myself better...
Is thinking of positive thoughts and
doing good


I was going through OCD and hypochondria
I am a 15 years old boy...My parents never thought to take to to hospital that's why nor I thought about
My hindu culture and the wisdom of what is gyan... Helped me the most ..
and like she told never ever try to kill your anxious thought but by with the fact that you know that these are your anxious thought .... And their is a reason for it...Then just calm yourself... Tell the The inner truth that come from the inside....
Don't try to fight just feel calmness and
I know the frustrated feeling that come when the thinking don't stop but calmness is the real thing tmto be done....


The fact that I am here and right now doing the good things for my soul... Is the proof....
Don't worry god is with you he is with
I pray everyone can get the gyan that he give me...
Thank you god 🙏🙏

In the middle of this speech, I started to tell my mom about how I am not able to focus on things and sentences people say and my mom said: "it's your psychological problem you are always so focused on what is happening and how you are reacting to it or how much of stress something in bringing to you." I was angry that her words were just hurtful to me and felt uncompassionate. Them Mrs Preethi came to the self-centric preoccupied part. I am blown here I confess I was always regretting the things that happened to me and the situations life put me into and all the wants and unsuccessful works..but now I am after the meditation know what being present means and allowing myself to do what is right and needful at the time to focus on.

I am 56 years of age. I was wondering if you could adopt me. What a wonderful life mother you are. xx

[lydiamond]

I learnt many years ago the reason for our unhappiness is the stories we tell ourselves. We sit there, telling ourselves the terrible story of how he left me and how well that persons life is. We tell ourselves the story about the people who suffered 100 years ago and get upset about it, we tell ourselves how better this person and that person it etc etc We need to stop telling ourselves such stories. I try hard to live in the present and not to take myself to places that make me sad...why do that to yourself. It's all about retraining the mind.

[AlexGarcia-ewfv]
