Medication
The advance of modern medicine has been amazing; it’s helped extend life expectancy and improve quality of life for many people. But there is a downside; we have become so used to popping a pill to treat an ailment that medicine is becoming over prescribed and over used. Before we know it, we need additional meds to deal with the side effects from the first ones. It’s all too easy to get stuck in an unhealthy cycle of treating the symptoms, and ignoring the underlying cause. Beeja meditation helps to access the power of our internal pharmacy which, when unlocked through meditation, can reduce the need for over the counter solutions.
- The problem
The world is awash with medications, and the more we use them, the more dependent we become, and the more we find additional meds are needed to cope.
Despite huge strides in medical science over the last century, doctors and scientists are often still baffled by what is going on at a fundamental level. They often use trial and error to find something that appears to generate the best results. That’s fine on a tactical basis, and, in the absence of a better way, it can and does provide relief. But in helping one thing, it can cause other biological dramas in the process.
When it comes to medicating depression, for example, nobody is sure whether it is dopamine, serotonin, or noradrenaline that’s the problem. And is it too little, or too much? Each prescriber has their own favourite drug type - which could be tricyclics, MAOIs, or SSRIs.
