Tao Thay Shang Men – English

From: Eko
Question:
About this last two and half months, I was feel terrified that is caused by my imagination. I tried to convince myself that it is only my imagination. Very often the bad imagination comes in to my mind. Some of them said I’m depressed, stressed, etc. I asked and consulted with many people until one day I met with a Taoyu in Surabaya. He gave me a book to read. I want to ask that whether with Sen Kung exercise (meditation), it can help my mind to be more calm and clear? From last time I actually wanted to learn meditation to keep my body and mind healthy. Please help.
Answer:
If you are able to understand that all of them are just your imagination, it shows that there is a huge possibility to get cured. It is very clear that you are in depression, and effect of depression makes you feel scared with no logical reason. To overcome the depression, firstly you should know the root of problem, and then only you can solve them. Meditation is a part of Shen Kung, and that is a method / knowledge from TAO to improve ourselves. In fact meditation can help to neutralize the stresses. However it should be understood that there are many causes of stress / depression. So more important is we should learn theories and philosophy of TAO to help us understand the meaning of that life. So then we can reduce and avoid the possible stress that would come again. If you have a chance to learn Shen Kung, it is better to take the chance, learn it seriously.
