Depression - Seek To Change than Be in Chains

“Depression leads to soul evolution if overcome with a zeal for developing optimism, positive thinking , hope , satisfaction and meditative abilities “

Depression is spreading like rapid fire these days.  Problems appear to rise when people start talking about them whereas they may have been dormant through centuries. However, problems can also literally increase when there is excessive accumulation of trauma in the mass consciousness and immunity falls for society, as a whole; thus , leading to each falling backwards. This analogy is similar to pollution of air. When there is too much pollution, breathing of each is negatively affected. Similarly, when there is too much hypocrisy in society, well-being of each thinking person is negatively affected.

While rational logic can be devised on theoretical layers and medicines prescribed by research on chemical grounds, there is much need to understand the energy underlying the spread of depression to check its exponential growth. Usually, depression is caused due to the circumstances of a person which are affected by a multitude of factors that cannot be controlled as chemical reactions can be. However, the circumstances can be deciphered through methods like hypnotherapy so that the person can view his or her own self -deception.

The healing of depression requires release of suppressed tension by either changing the circumstances of viewing the self from a detached, observer’s perspective. Depressions goes into the background when  illusions of a  perfect world , a perfect education scenario, a perfect self , a perfect marriage and a perfect job break  while  imperfections are accepted as a natural norm of life, such that freedom replaces chains in the mind.

Depression is largely a result of self- deception .You become depressed when you feel helpless because things are not as they should be and you cannot do anything about the situation.

For example, depression in school children can be traced to inadequate sleep patterns, trust being broken repeatedly, unfair criticism, unnecessary performance expectations and excessive pressure on the child’s mind to fit into success norms of the world which have been proven to have failed in creating satisfaction or happiness.

Children feel insecure and are over stressed often due to irregular family timings or an aggressive family atmosphere. While preaching discipline to the young minds, at a theoretical level, their own practice does not match the preaching, leaving kids confused and sad.  In practice, adults in a modern life style have irregular timings and aggressive relationships since everyone is running the rat race along with seeking some semblance of fun, with hardly any time left for harmonizing the body, health and inner space. There is last priority effort invested on stress release as the traditional concept of fun is connected with rebelling secretly while compromising conventionally with the hypocrisy in which you are expected to fit in. Thus, there is dancing, alcoholism, partying, excessive eating, socializing in clubs, pubs or discotheques which creates even more stress once layers of self- deception creep up in the subconscious, leading to seeds of depression .

A healthy mind is an outcome of making a priority to invest some time towards being in peace in free, inner space where there is no pressure to perform in any manner, not even by the clothes you wear or by the ways you choose to differ from others’ thinking; where you have time to just be and contemplate on your positive energies. Feelings of peace and inner space help in healing depression by opening up chains in the mind. Adult fun in today’s world is centred around competitive lies , deceit and image keeping.

However, young adults or teenagers find it difficult to understand this hypocrisy as it onsets suddenly. A growing up child can feel disillusioned and collapse with the energy of surface lies as a fish without stability when the water is found dirty and infected with the virus of hypocrisy.

A minimum help which can be given by schools can be more time to sleep by keeping flexible timings or afternoon shifts for children who prefer sleeping late; as sleeping is atleast one form of rest where you are free of pressure. Extra sleeping time can help children have inner space to contemplate and resolve their issues without feeling pressured by studies or sports or other performances.

Extra sleeping time also helps to improve memory as it clears up suppressed cobwebs in the mind. You need to be alone for about two or three hours every day other than the regular 8 sleeping hours ,  to self reflect and release the energy of sadness or abuses which you encounter in everyday life. You can sit in a restful state even if you don’t get asleep in the extra two hours allotted to you .

 You need to take this time to be in your private space instead of watching television or socializing which may increase your tension, Being alone and non- judged would help you calm down your nerves and balance your hormones.  By calming down your nerves, you will have time to unwind your space which is needed to improve your mind power and health . Extra rest or meditation  time where you can be away from everyday worries ,thoughtless or day dreaming ,  improves quality work performance and reduces the need for active fun which is stress creating . Whether you dance or paint or sing or study, being alone in a positive state of mind , whether asleep or awake, would improve your performance more than slogging out endlessly by activating release of positive or neutral hormones over stressed,  negative hormones.

Sleep time is especially required by patients of depression to feel balanced. If pressurized continuously, they become suicidal. Depressed patients need hours of thoughtlessness so that the mind rises from negative thinking to neutral or detached activity. Positive thinking is possible only after neutral states of mind are activated and maintained.

Hence, flexible timings and less pressure are two large scale rational healing methods which can be applied for addressing depression from the schooling years by changes in the school structure to allow late schooling. Once a base of feeling free in inner space is secured from childhood, other methods of healing can be added to this wider inner space for feeling more alive.

Where circumstances are challenging and there are incidents of molestation, rape, excessive beating or verbal abuse, lowering of self- esteem , poverty etc. there is a need to address these situations at an emotional level for the soul to heal .

Adult depression is much more deep-rooted and takes much more emotional work to heal. Medicines often make the depressed person sleepy because they aim at calming down the negative hormones by releasing positive hormones in the body. However, if the person’s rate of thinking negative thoughts /negative feelings is higher than the rate at which the medicines produce positive feelings and positive hormones, the medicines fail to help. All medicines increase sleep as sleeping helps the person since ideally, she or he does not think negative thoughts at the time of sleeping.
