Fighting Depression? Survival issues run (ruin) your life until you practice "letting go".

       "Most of life's activities are related to ensuring
       physical survival by education, health, success, 
       possessions, houses, cars, money, and status. The
       totality of these efforts becomes an endless bondage 
       and source of constant anxiety." 
          David Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D.

Those who have faced the worst are our best teachers!

Living through a terrifying experience, losing everything, or being near death often trigger huge emotional liberation and discovery of inner peace and strength. Of course you needn't actually experience trauma...just try these two practices for fighting depression.

#1. See how this visualization helps with fighting depression.

At your successful 'end'...at the threshold to spirit--you expand and dissolve into knowing that your Self does not cease. Death is the end of a chapter, not the end of Self.

The unexpected changes that you have managed throughout your life have prepared you well for the final great unknown.

You (your Self) contains your fear with great courage, faith, and conviction of the truth of Spirit.

Congratulations…you did it!

Healthy integration and then letting go is associated with the root, or Earth Chakra (the 1st Chakra). Your support exists within yourself and within the earth. Connect and develop your inner strength and peace consciously and in the present.

Close your eyes & breathe slowly through your nose

Relax with every exhale. Relax part by part with each exhale, from the top of your head to your feet.

Begin with your eyes, mouth and jaw...

then the top of your head and scalp...

move down your body...

exhale and relax your neck and shoulders, then arms...

your chest, back, belly and hips...

then one at a time with each exhale, your thighs, lower legs and feet...

scan down your body, exhale out any tension still present...

bring your awareness to your heart...

inhale love, absorb love with every inhale. Radiate love with every exhale...

inhale and Exhale love, sending love to loved ones, then community, then geographical area, and then finally to the world...

speak aloud all the appreciations you feel for what you have been doing, for what you are completing & integrating. You may not be aware of a specific completion or an ending. That is ok, just name whatever lessons you have learned and who or whatever you appreciate about your experiences...

Then name and speak aloud your regrets. Regrets can be personal or not...It is very healing to simply name regrets. It is also healing to say them to someone...

when you feel complete with naming your regrets, breathe out BIG LONG LOUD sighs. Verbal sighs..."Haaaaaaaaa" "Haaaaaa"...

when your sighs feel complete, get up and move, stretch, whatever feels good. You MUST move your body, get the energy flowing, move all this intense energy around, keep it flowing.

Now...do you feel lighter? I suggest you make a commitment to doing one or both of these everyday for a few days. Allow a few days time to feel their effect. Make a note reminding yourself to check in, to see how you feel better.

You might want to do a full session, from something on this website or with me via phone.

Fighting depression works a little at a time...while you try different things and watch the results. When something helps, even just a little bit, that means your depression is responsive.

See for yourself that fighting depression is well worth your commitment.
