Premature or chronic stress during your early childhood can remain dormant and create spiritual crisis in your adulthood. Spirit is phenomena arising from its constituent cause and conditions. There is no eternal immortal independent self or spirit of any kind.

Infants and children should be cared as royalty and treated like valuables; however, not all societies and their cultures are designed for naturally rich upbringing of infants and children.

Due to unhealthy birth and wrong upbringing, infants can feel unhealthy restrictions and grow into immature adults with subliminal stress, thus feeling spiritually unfulfilled for rest of their lives if right therapy is not available.

Premature Chronic Stress Cause Spiritual Crisis

Chronic or premature stress is unnatural and can negatively affect the processes of your life and hamper you spiritually. Premature or chronic stress can be due to wrong conception, wrong birthing, wrong upbringing, wrong lifestyle or culture based on wrong ideas.

Spiritual crisis is inability to known correctly as it is in the right context what is real from the unreal or what is right from the wrong due to which you may feel unfulfilled and unhappy even after your needs are met. Due to spiritual crisis, you may get controlled by the effects of known and unknown, you may feel lack of control on your own life and you may conflict with the realities of life.

Chronic and premature stress is not natural. Premature and chronic stress can impact the individual psychologically, physiologically and spiritually in the later life.

On the other hand, a naturally rich upbringing during infancy enriches the process of life subliminally and prevents premature or chronic stress in infants.

Naturally rich means spontaneously harmonious with the richness of cause and conditions including but not limited to good parenting and good environment.

Unnatural Stress During Infancy Becomes Subliminal

Infants may not be able to articulate but do experience stress and trauma, pain and pleasure more intensely than if they were adult. Stress and trauma have manifold impact on the delicate infantile processes of life.

Natural stress is acute, bearable and can get naturally healed. Infants can get naturally stressed while interacting with their environment. Natural stress is part of life. Intense or chronic stress felt prematurely is not natural. Infants can be irreversibly impacted by any kind of intense and chronic stress.

Wrong birthing, lack of natural richness and wrong upbringing can create premature and chronic stress in the infantile process of life. For example, lack of affection, lack of bonding, feeling of insecurity, stressful environment, intense trauma, bullying, judging or curbing natural liberty of infants can stress them prematurely.

Physiology and springs of vital force in infants can shrink due to intense or chronic stress if periodic healing and nurturing is not available. This can restrict growth, natural fulfillment of infant and future maturity.

Unnatural infantile stress can reflect in form of improper bone development, abnormal body mass index, excessive blinking of eyes, improper posture, rough skin, constant cranky behavior, attention deficit disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, skin disorders, oral thrush, constipation, difficulty in learning and judgment etc.

This unnatural premature chronic stress acquired during early life can remain subliminally dormant in the subconscious of individual throughout their life if not healed.

Spiritual Crisis in Adults

Subliminally stressed and traumatized infants can face spiritual crisis in their adulthood even if they appear in order outwardly. Such adults may seem sorted outwardly but may fall into disorder if the circumstances deteriorate.

Subliminally stressed and traumatized adults may lack natural fulfillment, natural self-regulation, natural acuity, natural righteousness, natural resilience, and may have to depend on artificial sources of happiness.

Subliminally stressed and traumatized adults may have obsession with their self through association and identifications with unreal or artificial ideas and notions of self.

Obsession with the Self in forms like self-conception, self-ideation, self-identification, self-image, inner-self, etc. based on association with name, age, gender, religion, beliefs, class, caste, race, nationality etc. can lead to wrong actions based on wrong values and principles giving rise to wrong effects of those actions. Self-obsessed individual is, rigid, divided into multiple selves and at conflict with themself and with their ecosystem.

Subliminally stressed individuals may lack adequate sensitivity, awareness, compassion and self-regulation. Their mind may remain narrow, and philosophy, values and principles of their life may lack universality. They may lack insight and their understanding may not penetrate the greater or deeper context behind what is apparent.

Naturally richness and therapies can heal the natural process of life. However, without right understanding and right living, therapies can only give quick but momentary symptomatic relief.

Effect of Subliminal Stress on Spiritual Health

Premature or chronic stress becomes subliminal. Subliminal stress can affect your spiritual health. Subliminal stress is not felt consciously but it affects your life and actions without your knowledge.

Due to premature stress in the early life, your physiology and processes of life are conditioned to function in stress mode and you become rigid physiologically and psychologically.

Due to psychological and physiological rigidity created by subliminal stress, you may lack psychological flexibility necessary for detached self-awareness without the Self. Thus, you can get overwhelmed and hypnotized by what you known and unknown.

Overwhelmed and hypnotized by known and unknown, you get psychologically associated or identified with known and unknown. Due to this you cannot know correctly in the right context what is right from wrong, real from unreal or good from bad. You get misled and controlled by effect of your known and unknown experiences.

Subliminal stress can affect your natural self-regulation, natural fulfillment, sensitivity and awareness, the function of knowing. This in turn can affect how you live, act and effect your environment.

Sources of Subliminal Stress

Chronic or premature physiological repression and psychological burden from early life (there is no past life or past birth) can generate premature stress that remains as chronic, affecting your spiritual health.

You can suffer from premature physiological repression and psychological burden due to wrong birthing, wrong upbringing, unhealthy influences during the prenatal (post conception) and postnatal sensitive stages of development.

Toxic environment and unhealthy social conditions can also stress the individual chronically due to which they may experience a diminished quality of life experience.

Maternal health and status in society also impacts the infants and children due to their tuning with mother’s psychological health.

Natural fulfillment, natural seamless clarity of awareness, natural self-mastery, instinctual natural righteousness, natural process of weaning from experiences and detachment all these natural milestones of matured life can become an exotic ideal in some societies with repressive and burdening culture.

Meditation Therapy can Improve Spiritual Health

Better spiritual health is one of the benefits of deep meditation through curing the effect of chronic or premature early life stress and trauma.

Physiological repression and psychological burden are complementary to each other. Individual with repressed physiology can take upon psychological burden and psychologically burdened individual may allow themself to get physiologically repressed.

It is a present conjecture that physiological repression and psychological burden can get passed on from one generation to next through wrong cultural influences or in form of physiological memory if there is no periodic natural healing.

Learning meditation at retreats in nature and therapies like freedom from craving, emotional freedom therapy, loving kindness, gratefulness, yoga, vipassana, Zen, Qigong, Taichi, massage, mindfulness, tantra etc.. can heal and relieve subliminal stress.

Meditation therapies can improve natural process of life and restore your wholeness by calming the mind, relaxing the body and balancing the vital force.
