I am suffering from clinical depression and anxiety. I have read few of your books and tried to apply the techniques you mentioned. But i am not able to get relief and I keep getting negative and scary thoughts in my head. Should i start taking professional help and take medicines and then apply these techniques or should i avoid drugs at any cost?

Me and my husband lived with my In-laws for 10 years, and then we moved out since 6 months, My In-laws want us to move back with them. Sometimes I think to do what they are saying to move back with them, and sometimes I think it is good for us to live separate. I cannot decide what is best for all our soul not our ego. Please guide me where to look for correct answer.

Can meditation and mindfulness help someone involved in Martial Arts? Or is this something you cannot use in the ring?

I have been meditating for quite sometime but in the last few months I have had an unusual experience. I go very deep within – so deep that I am not there. I am totally unconscious of myself. I then hear my own voice speak. I ask questions before getting into that state and my own voice gives me very unique replies. My voice is all knowing. omniscient and wise and gives me specific directions.
When I get out into normal layers of consciousness from meditation, I feel very tired and a little drained out. But I recover soon.

What type of meditation is this? Is the voice I hear that of my Atma? And why do I feel tired?

I lost my mother recently and am feeling absolutely lost. I find myself in 2 realities sometimes. I have no energy, my body feels tired all the time and I don’t know where I am going. Please advise.
