Premature or chronic stress during your early childhood can remain dormant and create spiritual crisis in your adulthood. Spirit is phenomenal not eternal.

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 children.

Infants, due to wrong conception, wrong birthing and wrong upbringing can grow with physiological and psychological restrictions to suffer from subliminal stress and thus remaining immature and feel spiritually unfulfilled for rest of their lives if right therapy is not available.

Without natural spiritual fulfillment and maturity, such humanity suffers from spiritual crisis and get attracted to wrong ideas and beliefs.

Spiritually unfulfilled individual may get psychologically divided into many selves by associating with religion, race, caste, class, nationality, beliefs etc. and thus lack natural integrity.

You Are Spiritual Phenomenon Susceptible to Unnatural Stress

As awareness, the phenomenon of knowing, you are a spirit of life. Spirit is a natural phenomenon arising due to dynamic interaction of its constituent cause and conditions.

Spirit arises like a pattern from its cause and conditions just like brightness arises from dispersion of light produced by oil, wick and lamp. Spirit does not mean eternal immortal self that is independent of constituent cause and conditions.

You are the natural spiritual phenomenon in form of wakefulness, consciousness and awareness arising due to constituent cause and conditions including your processes of life.

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 ignorance or wrong beliefs.

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 known and unknown, you may feel lack of control on your life, you may feel stress of ignorance, you may feel insecure and you may lack natural fulfillment of life due to subliminal dormant stress.

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 rich 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 and trauma are acute, bearable and can get naturally healed. Infants get exposed to natural stress and trauma while interacting with their environment. Natural stress and trauma are 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 or trauma.

Wrong birthing, lack of natural richness and wrong upbringing can create premature and chronic stress or trauma 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 and trauma 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 and trauma acquired during early life can remain subliminally dormant in the subconscious of individual throughout their life if not healed.

Spiritual Crisis in Adults Due to Self

Infantile stress and trauma can remain in the subconscious for long and affect their adult life.

Subliminally stressed and traumatized adults may lack natural fulfillment, natural self-regulation, natural acuity 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.

Due to obsession with the Self, they may not remain impersonal and their values and priorities in life can get distorted. Such individuals can easily get swayed by vagaries and impulses of personality, whether their own or others.

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.

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. Their understanding may not penetrate the greater or deeper context behind what is apparent.

Naturally rich life 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.

Without right understanding, therapies can only cure their sense of self incompletely and not liberate them from association or identification with ideas and notions of self. As self, due to association with known and known, you are rigid and in conflict. Without self, you are like formless water, flexible, resourceful and harmonious.

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 know tangibly or intangibly.

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. You unknowingly seek what confirms to your deeper state and you unknowingly impact according to what you have deep within you.

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 psychological suppleness back to natural seamless clarity of awareness by calming the mind, relaxing body and balancing the vital force.
