excellent and highly recommended

Dear Rabbi Brody, great exercise in Hisbodidus. For those who practice Hisbodidus and have developed a relationship with Hashem, this exercise is an excellent tool!! The more effort and time we put into deepening our relationship with the Almighty the more we see the palpable results. For those of us with life tests, and who doesn't have them, there can be some very severe moments of Anxiety and the other related maladies. With even a minimum amount of time per day spent speaking with Hashem in our own language about our own unique circumstances we all can see a significant improvement in our emotional well being. In contrast I personally see several people very close to me who are addicted to psychotropic medications. Not only has it not helped them its made matters worse since they've lost touch with personal responsibility and simply try and "solve" things by taking a pill. The result has been tremendous self destruction. In my dental practice Ive seen the use and abuse of these medications skyrocket over the last thirty plus years. When I first started practicing if I saw 1 or 2 patients a year taking the occasional Valium that was normative. Today its either a minor majority or a Major minority of my patients who are on these drugs. Some for months and years. And it spans all ages. I was dumfounded when a 5 year old little girl was all giggly. I asked her why she was so giggly since she tended to be much more serious and quiet. She told me her mother gave her the "happy pill". Five years old!! Shocked and dismayed when I asked the mother about it she told me: "don't worry Im taking the same medication, so is my husband and so is her sister". Stress, Worry, Anxiety, Mental nervousness, Pressure are extremely unpleasant. Hashem sends us these tests and trials to get us to come closer to Him. We'd be well advised to at least look at investing as much in our relationship to Hashem via Rabbi Brodys exercise/tool as we do in chemical medications. And remember Big Pharma has zero interest in curing our Anxiety. They want us to feel better by taking theyre drugs and chemicals. And then to get addicted to them. And then to buy more!! With Hashems help lets all work towards being closer to Hashem with more Spiritual Awareness.
