Thank you everyone for your kind words, appreciate it.

I said a lot but I also forgot a lot of things so let me try again.

what I've noticed is that we get triggered. Its important to become aware of our triggers. One day I'd be jumping up and down and that day my thought process, mood, reactions, interactions would be totally different then the next day its the complete opposite. Anything can trigger it. Each has their own triggers according to their conditioning.

There's a spectrum of emotions. On one end we've fear, shame, guilt, resentment, anger, hate, jealousy, envy, bitterness, on the other hand we've love, joy, peace, happiness, acceptance, contentment, etc.

throughout the day we can jump from one state to another depending on our thoughts, reactions, triggers. Its best to be mindful of it and to see what's causing what emotion or mental state.

I highly recommend to read power vs force by dawid hawkins https://www.amazon.com/Power-Force-David-Hawkins-M-D/dp/1401945074

check out the spectrum of consciousness here:

we can also start with small rituals which can then turn into habits. Once its a habit its automatic then we don't have to think about it. Like when we wake up we make up our bed or we just move out of bed. If we do that daily then after a certain point, it'll become automatic. They say it takes 21 days to build a habit. I'd say it takes longer but still its doable.

Always follow the path of least resistance. Our minds don't like change so take baby steps. we can get overwhelmed so think small instead of doing 20 pushups do one. Just one.

Everything is energy. Everything is vibrating with certain frequency. Your house also has a certain frequency, you bet it effects you. The stars, the planets, your environment, people you interact with, you can feel their vibe, you can sense it, all of this plays a role in your life.

You can start with your house. Upon waking, open windows, doors for fresh air. Buy a humidifier it really makes a difference. You're absorbing information like a spunge, 24/7. Its best to be aware of what you absorb. There's no need to watch a tragic movie, news when you're already feeling low. Same goes with people. Try to be with people who uplift you.

if its too much to change your diet, start with vitamins, supplements. HTP 5 is really good for depression with little to no side effects unlike SSRI. it'll produce serotonin.

Yoga is really good, pranayama, 5 tibetan rites, kriya yoga.

you can also start with affirmations. I've gone through this in other posts but it can really help. If you're really low then I won't do it as it'll feel meaningless when you're in that state of mind but if you're feeling okay you can use them to embed them into your subconscious mind. For more info you can read ''power of your subconscious mind and you can heal your life'' both are great books and more then enough.

another way is hypnosis. it bypasses your conscious/critical mind which says you're lying to yourself and straight goes to your subconscious mind. it has to be a good one. I've found many and know many so if you need it let me know.

the point of affirmations and hypnosis is to change your beliefs, your thought process. If you believe you're worthless then that's what you'll create and manifest for e.g you won't attract a mate because you believe you're worthless and if you do they'll treat you like one to mirror your experience ''of being worthless''

once the suggestion is imprinted into your subconscious mind then it changes everything. but we've 1000s of beliefs not just one so it might take time but it'll still work. you can start with a certain topic then move on to next and so on.

we also have sub personalities. so if one part of you is saying something to you, don't dismiss it. listen to it, it needs have not been met. try to understand where its coming from.

make a list of goals. what do you want? why do you want it? what do you value? Is it your goal? Your dream or someone else's? because if its done for wrong reasons even if we achieve it, we won't derive much pleasure from it.

I'd also explore wordly feeling vs soul feelings and be aware of it and move on to soul feelings. The more you do things which satisfies your soul, nourishes your soul, the more in alignment you're with your true self.

TRE: Trauma release exercises is really good to release trauma store in the body. We all have it.

here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeUioDuJjFI&t=15s

Mantras can be really powerful. You can listen to them in the background if you don't have time to chant just believe in them, have faith, trust. I recommend this channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/nipunji

balancing chakras are really important but unfortunately most don't know how to open them or balance them. a lot of energy is stuck in the body, when you release tension from those parts, they'll open on its own. I remember when I opened my heart chakra I felt like I'm having a heart attack because it was closed for so long and I didn't even know about it. That's the thing, when you live a certain way that's all you know. you don't know anything beyond that.

Still for starters I''d recommend this:

if you wanna go in therapy then I recommend to find someone familiar with IFS. it works more than other basic therapies like cbt.

introduction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdZZ7sTX840

I also recommend Osho's dynamic meditation. Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7TEjKE0Vuc

its a form of releasing even if you don't like osho that's fine but the meditation works wonders.

A list of tools that can greatly help apart from the above mentioned:

1. PSTEC / EMDR

2. Sedona/The Work/Release Technique

3. Spiritual Technologies(PEAT, Integra Protocol, DP3,DP4,Aspectics etc)

4. Shadowwork/Chronic Breathing

5. Meditation/Mindfulness

6. NLP pattern interrupts, etc.

7. Gratitude Journal / Positive References Journal

17. Visualisation(Mind can't tell difference between real and not real)

18. Affirmations

19. Subliminals

20. SACP(Stuart Lichtman/Didn't do this one)

Infact I got to read it again

There is so much information that cannot be grasped at once.

I had made small post regarding mental health.

I l just mention it again

Every human has chakras and if certain chakra is imbalanced then we face issues. For example some people addicted to po*n the sacral chakra need to be balanced. One can do sacral chakra meditation or sacral chakra asana or even do painting stuff or singing acting dancing anything to do with creativity.

Similarly depression or any mental trauma has something to do with heart chakra. I think balancing the chakras will heal us. Also chanting mantras two three hours a day very effective. I think yoga and spirituality can be play huge role on healing and even if u don't have issues yet it will always keep u in good health.

Yes, thank you for bringing it to my awareness as I forgot to mention it in the first post. Yoga, meditation, spirituality always helps but some might have aversion to it and see it as mumbo jumbo which is fine but still I’ve gone through it for those who might be interested.

Another thing is ayurveda. If we study that and then eat what our body actually needs instead of junk, I think that would also make a huge difference but one thing at a time 😁

Wonderful post, much needed.

I would recommend reading a good interpretation of the Bhagavad Gita, whenever anyone gets these depressive thoughts and feelings. It is the classical treatise of a man in the midst of an existential crisis.

It is not the easiest of the books to know or understand, but if one gets even a fraction of what it is trying to say, I think, most of the problems faced by us are put into perspective. The Gita has personally helped me deal with deep sorrow and loss, many a times in life.

"For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, and primeval."

Yes geeta is great so are the upanishads. Understanding advaita vedanta and following through will eventually get you to moksha but we’ve a lot of innate tendencies and need to work on them. I feel we’re all work in progress 😁

Thank u. Ur posts have always been helpful. Bless u.

Silva method by Jose silva and open focus by les fehmi are really great. It takes you to alpha state where all creativity flows, its kinda meditative state but you're highly alert.

There's also sapien medicine and dream seeds. These 2 channels are great for energy work and healing.

I listen to music as therapy

Music is good but it won’t release the trauma, the blocks in the body. You can listen to the above channels they’re also music but it’s energetically embedded so it works releasing on stored traumas

Your other thread also was very informative- the one you made on speaking what you want! I bought those books on my audible and even now keep going back to those books every now and then...👍🏼

Yeah those books are great. I think you mean ‘power of your subconscious mind’

Here are a few prayers by him which I think can be really helpful in tough times.

God, the life principle in me, the living spirit, the reality of me, is my guide and counselor today and every day. This living spirit in me is my wayshower, my boss, my adjuster, my paymaster, the source of my supply. And I am inspired and illumined from on high. Today and everyday from now on, god thinks, speaks, acts and reacts through me and my words are words of wisdom, truth and beauty.

I’m surrounded by an envelope of gods love. I’m invulnerable and nothing can touch me but that which is good and very good. I clothe myself with the garment of infinite love and infinite peace. God watches over me and where I am god is. The whole armor of god surrounds me and I bear a charmed life. Whenever fear or worry comes to my mind, I will immediately affirm, ‘God watches over me’ it is wonderful.

“the lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?”

“Gods love fills my soul, Gods peace fills my soul”

Divine law and order govern my life with divine love

I fully and freely forgive everyone who has ever hurt me. I release them and it is done with forever. Whenever I think of any one of them, I bless that person. I forget the past and move on to a glorious future of perfect health, harmony and peace. My mind is poised, serene and calm. In this atmosphere of peace and goodwill which surrounds me, I feel a deep abiding strength and freedom from all fear. I now sense and feel the love and beauty of the cosmic healing presence. Day by day I become more aware of Gods love, everything that’s false fades away. I now allow the cosmic river of peace and healing power to flow through my whole body. I rest in the everlasting arms of peace. My peace is the deep unchanging cosmic peace, the peace of God.

I’m born to succeed, I’m born to win. The infinite within me can’t fail. Divine law and order govern my life, divine peace fills my soul. Divine love saturates my mind. Infinite intelligence guides me in all ways. Gods riches flow to me freely, joyously, endlessly, ceaselessly. I’m advancing, moving forward and growing, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, financially and in all other ways. I know these truths are sinking into my subconscious mind and I know and I believe, they’ll grow after their kind.

Victory over obstacles: I now let go of everything; I enter into the realization of peace, harmony, and joy. God is all, over all, through all, and all in all. I lead the triumphant life, because I know that divine love guides, directs, sustains, and heals me. The immaculate presence of God is at the very center of my being; it is made manifest now in every atom of my body. There can be no delay, impediment, or obstruction to the realization of my hearts desire.

The Almighty power of God is now moving in my behalf. I know what I want; my desire is clear-cut and definite. I accept completely in my mind. I remain faithful to the end. I have entered into the silent inner knowing that my prayer is answered and my mind is at peace.

Overcoming fears: There is no fear, as perfect love casts out fear. Today I permit love to keep me in perfect harmony and peace with all levels of my world. My thoughts are loving, kind, and harmonious. I sense my oneness with God, for in him I live, move, and have my being.

I know that all my desires will be realized in perfect order. I trust the divine law within me to bring my ideals to pass. The father doeth the works. I am divine, spiritual, joyous, and absolutely fearless. I am now surrounded by the perfect piece of God; it is the peace of God which passes all understanding. I now place all my attention on the thing desired. I love this desire and I give it my wholehearted attention.

My spirit is lifted into the mood of confidence and peace; this is the spirit of God moving in me. It gives me a sense of peace, security, and rest. Truly, perfect love casts out all fear.

I’m willing to release all resistance.

I’m willing to release the need for all resistance.

I’m willing to release the need to be unworthy. I deserve the very best in life and I now lovingly allow myself to accept it.

Don’t crave it. That beautiful thing. Sit still and let it come to you.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference.

If you want something to return to the source, you must first allow it to spread out. If you want something to weaken, you must first allow it to become strong.

If you want something to be removed, you must first allow it to flourish. If you want to possess something, you must first give it away.
