It’s striking how many people, late at night or in a quiet pause during the day, type their worries into a search bar or a chatbot instead of saying them out loud. For many, the screen feels like the safest place to admit what they’re carrying. And among all the things people share, one theme rises again and again: anxiety.
Not always the kind of anxiety with an obvious cause, like a deadline or an argument. More often, it’s the invisible kind, the racing thoughts that won’t switch off at 2 a.m., the heaviness in the chest that shows up “for no reason,” the constant hum of overthinking that makes even simple decisions feel impossible. The questions come tender and raw: “Why do I feel like this?” “How do I make my mind stop?” “Is something wrong with me?”
What these questions reveal is that people are not only searching for techniques or quick relief. They are searching for reassurance, for someone, or something, to tell them they’re not broken for feeling this way. The first step is often not about fixing, but about being heard.
At Karmalya, we see anxiety not as a flaw, but as the body’s way of asking for care. It is a signal from the nervous system, calling us back to safety, grounding, and balance. Walks and journaling help, yes, but deeper healing comes when we learn to sit with ourselves gently, to give our thoughts and emotions room to settle.
Perhaps the most important truth is this: you are NOT alone in your anxiety. Reaching out is already a first step. And every first step matters on the path toward peace.
