🌿 You Are Not Alone
Dear soul, I see the tightness in your chest, the restless mind racing with shadows of worry. Anxiety and panic can feel like storms inside, overwhelming and isolating. But remember, even the fiercest storm passes, and within you lies a quiet, unshakable center waiting to be found. The Bhagavad Gita offers gentle guidance to steady this inner turmoil with timeless wisdom and calm.

श्रीभगवानुवाच

तस्माद्युध्यस्व भारत न जायते म्रियते वा।।

Explanation:
This verse reminds us that beneath the restless waves of anxiety, your true self—your consciousness—is steady and unbreakable. The panic is a passing cloud, but your inner essence remains calm and eternal. Recognizing this helps you face fear with courage.

🌊 Inner Dialogues
It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. Your mind might tell you, “This panic will never end,” or “I’m losing control.” But these thoughts are just visitors, not your truth. You are more than your fears, more than this moment of distress. Be gentle with yourself—acknowledge the pain without judgment. Your heart knows how to find peace again.
📿 What He Would Say...
"My dear friend, do not be afraid of the waves that surge in your mind. They are not you—they come and go like the wind. Turn your gaze inward, beyond the storm, to the calm ocean of your soul. Stand firm in that knowing, and no panic can uproot you. I am with you always, steadying your heart."
