 The sadness you're feeling is your Soul's way of getting your attention.
We have been told in the West that depression is dealt with in a pill or two, maybe even three. We have been told that it is our brain that isn't working properly and our hormones are out of whack. Unfortunately the thing is that the brain is the most misunderstood piece of our body. Doctors will admit openly that they know almost nothing 100% about how the mind functions. It is terrifying that we go on medication to support one system that harms another important system, the liver and our ability to detox and it is not healing the causes of dis-connection. The sadness you're feeling is your Soul's way of getting your attention. I have personal experience in "healing" my "depression" without medication and really, very little to do with Western Medicine. I have always loved nature, I have continuously ran to her in times of despair and she has held me and coddled me back to my heart. Her great beauty and destruction holds so much truth if you are willing to see her. You can look up so much research now that has to do with helping alleviate feelings of sadness or grief or anxiety by spending more time in nature, it is a thing. One of my main goals through doing the work that I do now is to show people that there is another way. This path like everything else is not linear. We hold the secrets to our emotional stability and our body is always communicating to us. My journey took me 15 years to find a way out with random periods of happiness and joy. What I find now that I have done the work and healed my self-hatred, disgust, worthiness, self-blame and lack of ability to create a life worth living is that I am happier. I am able to feel when the sadness is coming forward and taking hold and I am able to sit with it. Why is it important to sit with your emotions & why it comes back? It is important because they are clues to your overall health. They are indicators and flashes of pains you are still enduring. When we refuse to look at our pains we refuse to honour our life and our story. When we refuse to honour our life and our story we start a cycle of self-rejection that can get pretty nast. There is always room to grow and when we begin to get uncomfortable take refuge in the knowledge that you will evolve again and again and again. We are not stagnant beings. Meditation, Reiki, Nature, Retreats, Plant medicines, research, courses, and endless books have allowed me to find a way back to my Soul. I never thought I would say those words together in my life as I was a very proud Atheist most of my life, I still don't use the word God and I don't believe in a lot of things but I have to be honest when I say that I believe in a lot too because I have experienced them - a blog for a later date. What I do believe in is energy, dark matter, atoms and ions and everything in between and the fact that as humans, we are all of those things rolled up into what we perceive as solid form. Our Western World has been telling us what works and what doesn't work but it has not been in the works for that long. We are currently being used as human trials for medications and birth controls and we are being poisoned by the food we are consuming. (1950's was the birth of 2 mood alteration medicines, it did not get an overhaul auntil 1987 when fluoxetine (Prozac was birthed) came in, this was one specifically for seratonin reuptake inhibitor.) It seems every year there are more drugs being made and more money going. It is a latch that people cannot let go of and it is harmful on so many levels. Birth control was not legal in Canada until 1969 (prescribed to patients in 1960 for therapeutic reasons) and it was not offered like it is today and was brought forward after the war and all the "extra" babies came along. I am just throwing these dates in here because it has not been around for a long time and it has not been administered at the same rate that we are giving out these types of drugs today in the West. These drugs are causing us harm that we don't see. It takes a lot out of our body to process drugs and can lead to overworking of organs and underworking of natural chemical production in the body. I offer you this and encourage you to do some research and get to know yourself again. Go for a nature walk or sit under a tree. Eat some goddamn vegetables from the farmer's market - it is usually cheaper than the grocery store BY THE WAY! Eat less meat and sugar. Do some journalling every day. Ask yourself what you want out of life... Get real with who you are and how you have changed after certain encounters or relationships. Energy work is real. Healing is real. You have been made to believe it is one way or no way, I am here to break that nasty cycle. There are infinite ways and your mind is fighting because we live in a linear society as non-linear beings. |
