How to Deal With Depression: A Body n Mind Therapy
Learn how to deal with depression using a Chi Kung exercise for harmonizing your Heart/Fire Element (one of Five Elements of Chinese Acupuncture.
With a strong heart/fire element, you have radiance, laughter, companionship. I always think of "a pile of puppies".
Naturally, when you are depressed, this fun and sunny part of you is not shining through.
Try to imagine having had safe relationships in your past. What would you be like if you felt safe to have an open heart, to trust others, to trust yourself? To know you ARE ok...regardless of how others behave?
Many find it is difficult to imagine! But in order to create changes in your life, something about you has to change (so you can attract something new). So use your body n mind with this heart opening exercise. It is a great place to start and to get new energy flowing.
How to deal with depression via your heart/fire element:
Cultivate These Qualities for Your Heart
Trust/Safety Fun Relationships Warmth Intimacy Compassion Unconditional Love Communication Positive Control
How to deal with depression The movement for your HEART energy
Without safety in relationships, your energy goes to defense and protection rather than connection and joy. This movement opens your heart!
~1~ As you tone the sound "HAAAaaaaaaa", feel your physical heart vibrate. Be aware that you are activating joy, love and compassion. Release all toxins and anything that comes in the way of unconditional love and a healthy heart. ~2~ Inhale, raise arms at sides to over head. ~3~ Grab chi with fists (facing toward you), pull chi with fists to level with your face as you hold your breath and sink into a sit position. ~4~ EXHALE long “HAAAA” as you stand, opening your hands & stretching hands/fingers over your head, hands facing each other. ~5~ Three harmonizing breaths -- Each movement is followed by 3 harmonizing breaths. The tongue is on the roof for the inhale, relaxed on floor of mouth for open mouth exhale. The number one attitude for how to deal with depression is to see positive results from taking action...to KNOW that what you do DOES make a difference. That is why it is CRUCIAL to do those things that make things better for you. No magical instant fixes...no one particular thing, and each person responds differently. Each person is also a moving target, what works once may not help as much the next time. The attitude to take is like the water that created the Grand Canyon. Perseverence, perseverence, perseverence. I myself simply rose up in outrage, "I will NOT spend my life like this, I will NOT face my death in this condition!" So, yes... I gave it a great big fat NO! And then.... so ok, NOW WHAT? Exactly... now what? How to deal with depression? Just DO!
 Lest we forget: Navigating life changes are natural -- anxiety attack symptoms are not (and are therefore changable!). I use a proven process called Resonance Repatterning® to identify the old patterns that get in your way and assist you in shifting to new patterns. Folks, as humans our brains and nervous systems are hard-wired to need relationships! This is actually a healthy, good need. I use a proven process called Resonance Repatterning® to identify the patterns that get in your way and assist you in shifting to new patterns.
We can shift patterns around feelings of anxiety as well - deep shifts that address the original causes of anxiety, symptoms of mild anxiety attack, and we can develop personalized self help for anxiety.
I make no claims about instant fixes and if I did, the skeptics would be right. However, I do claim that sessions can powerfully move you from negative to positive patterns. These shifts change you from the inside out and ripple out into your life and relationships. These shifts change you:
who you attract - and how you act - and how you feel.
