Just some weeks ago, the world was stunned by the sudden passing of two icons – designer Kate Spade and renowned chef and food writer, Anthony Bourdain. Two such iconic and accomplished people, but they still succumbed to depression, and ended their own lives. No one could make sense of it.
This is what depression feels like:
Depression is more than just thoughts of deep sadness and suicide. The Black Dog Institute, an Australian mental health resources, lists the following symptoms:
- Little interest or pleasure in doing things
- Feeling down, depressed or hopeless
- Trouble falling or staying asleep or sleeping too much
- Feeling tired or having little energy
- Poor appetite or overeating
- Feeling bad about yourself (that you are a failure or have let yourself or your family down)
- Trouble concentrating on things, such as reading the newspaper or watching television
- Moving or speaking so slowly that other people could have noticed. Or the opposite – being so fidgety or restless that you have been moving around a lot more than usual
- Thoughts that you would be better off dead, or of hurting yourself
The Black Dog Institute has a quick depression self-test based on how you’ve been feeling for the last two weeks. It is not a substitute for proper treatment, but it can give you an idea of your current state and help you take the next step towards healing.
Happiness is a Birthright
Yesterday’s summer solstice Kundalini yoga theme was all about Happiness as a Birthright. Everyone has the hidden desire to be happy. The problem is, according to Yogi Bhajan, is that each person also forms a hidden or subconscious pattern that creates unhappiness. We learn these patterns. We learn to be unhappy. Some people even identify and depend on unhappiness.
Yogi Bhajan says, “Happiness is a choice. It comes from the realization that we are complete in design and potential. Happiness is never found in circumstance, possessions, or relationships. It is an attitude we bring to all areas of life.”
How Theta Healing Helps Depression
We have tools to rid the subconscious of the patterns of beliefs and programs that we’ve created, inherited from our genetic line and collective consciousness. I spoke about how yoga can help pull you out of depression in a previous mailer.
Here, I’ll talk about how Theta Healing can help someone who is experiencing depression. In Theta Healing, there is one core tenet, “What we believe creates us.” When one undergoes Theta Healing, it is about working out beliefs that do not serve you.
One of my clients wrote to me after undergoing Theta Healing “… A year ago I was having anxiety attacks. I never thought that this life of mine would turn 180-degrees and I couldn’t be happier. I am more content and more peaceful.”
Theta Healing can be used as a complimentary modality to conventional treatment. It helped another client heal faster from cancer. After a year of alternating gong therapy with theta healing she wrote me some time ago to say, “I had my bone scan yesterday and results showed that I have no new lesions. Some of the old lesions have disappeared and turned into scars! My brain is clean, my lungs and liver are clean. What we’re doing helps a lot!”
Theta Healing is a transformative healing modality that works on identifying and releasing hidden programs and limiting beliefs that are causing challenges in your life – health, wealth, relationship and other issues.
The modality uses muscle-testing (derived from Kinesiology), energetic scanning of the body, working with the DNA at the quantum energy level and changing core and genetic beliefs and feelings to empowering ones.
Do you, or do you know of someone who could use Theta Healing to help them in their path to being happier and more complete?
Try it – schedule a session.
Theta Healing can be done anywhere, as long as it’s in a place where we can meet and talk for however amount of time you’re available. Feel free to e-mail or contact me should you want a session.
As I close, know that you are valued, and that you matter.
May you bloom into the week ahead.
In loving service,
Rosan
