Re: Exercise: The Miracle Antidepressant Drug?
Thanks Luella I will have a look at the links you gave. I am a rebirther and a Reiki Master and used both modalities to heal my
Depression four years after I discovered it's existence in me.
However there is only possibility of healing the physical side of my depression, emotionally I accept the
Depression that comes as a natural response to the world around me and specific occurrences. Without my strong responses to these things I would feel decidedly less human. I accept my humanity, my sadness, anger and revulsion at the destructive acts of Humanity against each other and the planet we live in.
There is no healing a genuine response, no desire to change it. I am me and would never change that for the sake of 'functioning' in a society I don't respect. The difference between healing the physical side of the
Depression as opposed to the emotional or circumstantial side though is quite remarkable. It is the difference between living in the darkest pit of hell every moment of your life on the one hand, and on the other accepting those feelings and still having them- but still being able to enjoy life when the opportunity for that enjoyment arises. This has been especially important in being able to enjoy being with and watching my children grow. Without the healing there would have been pride in them my unbounding love of course- but little joy.
But vigilance is always necessary because circumstances that get me depressed and keep me that way for any length of time can still trigger slides into full blown depression with it's physical side reasserting itself also. Staying honest with myself has always been my greatest weapon, and the human mind doesn't always make that easy. So anything that helps us cut through the crap and get to what's real in there is always worth investigating.
