Depression is easy to come out from. It is difficult to treat this situation with the help of medicines, alternative therapies, any consultation until and unless, you do not see a light in this dark situation. All these treatment gives temporary solution. It give temporary relief but the situation still remains around your life, soul and mind. To put it in very simple form, it is merely a state of mind which was created my situation, rather than that simply a life crisis. Also who have no idea what is this state of mind, who have never been through this situation, who have never felt the pain, will never be able to help you come out of this. Most of us, just hide the situation, most of us have buried it and cover it since ages, divert themselves, neglecting the feelings. Many are able to do with medicine, drugs, drinking, in short using any external material to make them happier. But deep down you come back again now or later with the same kind of depression, this time reason can be different. Like you all, I have been in this darkness of Depression many times in my life but am so proud to share this while I have pulled out myself strong and blossoming life. Many times I am saying because usually people tend to bury those emotions, not show it to the world or just isolate themselves. And thus I did the same and this sate of mind came up to me again and again. I was able to come out of it. This was only possible when I started correcting myself, straightening my life by taking baby steps at a time. Always remember only those people can really help who have helped themselves first. Rest is all superficial. Rest I mean, all the outside help, therapies, diagnosis, etc. I knew any outsider therapies is not going to help me. I need someone or something stronger than my negative mind situation. Something way positive and strong then me. So just sharing little tips of wisdom, my technique to come into the light. Step 1: While you are in this mode, this sadness, confusion, you can hardly see through anything. No light what so ever. No way, direction or guidelines help. Until - you cry it all out first, you need to let it out, write it out, email or write a letter. But here be aware that you can not trust everyone. But you will find some help if you are deeply seeking. First step is to let it out in someway or other. Build trust on yourself first. Believe in yourself, that whatever you are doing for yourself or taking any step to get out of this situation is the right step to take. You need to more out and walk forward, that's should be your aim. Once you let it out, second step is: Then close your eyes, bring all focus into your heart area. Try to go as much deep as you can. Practice this, focusing on your heart area as much as possible. Now after some time, days, hours you will start listening to your heart’s voice. Before that your mind took over. Now you will start feeling lighter. Step 2: Practice Trataka. Practice ancient Lost Yogic Technique: Tratka (Click on the above link for YouTube Video for Step by Step details on how to Practice Tratka) This is a focusing technique. I am asking to do so as in this situation, mind will not let you focus on yourself at all. This is a practice to put your monkey mind on leash. And yes its the proven technique but is a lost yogic techniques not because it does not work, because there is no trust in within ourselves what so ever. Only trust in yourself will help you to trust others. This will help you to focus more on yourself rather than thoughts. Your thinking or thought process will diminish. Your inner strength will be awakened. Step 3: Above two steps will help you to correct your vision. Right Vision is the first and the foremost requirement to seek the right guidelines and help. Before that you have asked or have been seeking help from everywhere but you only have got temporary relief or answers, now you will be able to find solution. Be a Seeker. Seek the real guidelines, teacher or a master who can help you come out of not only Depression, but any kind of pain, darkness, confusion, etc. Seek the master who can make you the master one day. Some practical tools to help you gain some clarity:
"Depression itself is a negative feeling. What fuels this situation is the feeling of loneliness." - Shailaja Always remind yourself that you are your own healer. All the medications and alternative therapies will give you a temporary relief. This feeling will come back to you if you have NOT put your efforts to remove it from the roots. Tips to pull yourself out: 1) Pay full attention with your full inner strength to this situation. Ask yourself few questions - Why me? Do I deserve this? Why I am living such miserable life and everyone else seems so happy? When you stare at a thief, theif will tend to run away. Similarly when you give full attention to this, this feeling has to go once and for all. Negative things or people tend to escape, fall down or run away with your attention. 2) Focus then on your original nature, which is always positive, cheerful, strong and courageous. This is Humans' (Soul-I should say) basic nature, which has never been in limelight before. When you will start paying attention to these qualities of yours, it will enhance, increase and help you to come out of this downward feeling. I hope this blog has helped you in some way or other.
