Mental stress has become a common problem in today’s fast and busy life. Work pressure, family responsibilities, and complications of personal life have a huge impact on our mind. If not paid attention to time, this stress can negatively affect both physical and mental health. In such a situation, some surefire remedies mentioned in the ancient Hindu scripture Garuda Purana can prove to be helpful in getting relief from stress.
1. Chanting regular mantra and prayer
It is said in the Garuda Purana that chanting mantras like ‘Om Hanumate Namah’ every morning and evening is very beneficial to get mental peace. Chanting the mantra concentrates the mind and relieves negative thoughts. Experts say that chanting mantra transmits positive energy in the brain and stress itself starts decreasing.
2. Worship and devotion to Hanuman ji
The worship of Hanuman ji has been given special importance in Garuda Purana for peace of mind. Hanuman ji has been called Sankat Mochan and doing his devotion brings courage and patience to the person’s mind. It helps in reducing stress daily in front of Hanuman ji’s statue or picture and remembering his qualities.
3. Mental purification from water and lamp
According to Garuda Purana, regular use of water and lamps in the house is beneficial to get mental peace. In the morning, it is helpful in removing stress by washing hands and mouths with fresh water and lighting a lamp by lighting a lamp. The light of the lamp removes negative energy and provides peace to the mind.
4. Importance of satvik diet in food
To reduce mental stress, satvik food is advised in Garuda Purana. Consuming fresh fruits, vegetables, milk, ghee, and grains keeps the mind calm and the body remains healthy. Highly oily, spicy and heavy food can increase mental stress. Satvik diet keeps the brain balance and reduces stress.
5. Practice of yoga and pranayama
Yoga and Pranayama have been described as important to keep physical and mental health balanced in Garuda Purana. A daily 15–20 minutes of yoga practice and performing pranayam with deep breaths not only reduces stress, but also increases the communication of energy in the body. Especially Anulom-Villom and Bhramari Pranayama are infallible in giving mental peace.
6. Stress relief through charity and charity
It is said in the Garuda Purana that by donating and charity, the burden of mind is lightened. Helping the needy and making positive contribution to the society enhances the confidence and mental balance of the person. When we help others, negative thoughts in the mind are less and mental stress begins to decrease.
7. Sattvik Consistency and Positive Environment
For peace of mind, Garuda Purana has been advised to maintain positive and sattvik association. Spend time with people who inspire and mentally raise you. Stress automatically reduces stress by maintaining distance from negative thinking people. The atmosphere of the house and the workplace should also be clean and calm.
