If it were true....you'd feel great!

I had an experience the other day when someone very near & dear to my heart made the comment, "I am not good enough". Sadly far, FAR too many feel & even believe this lie. During a heart-to-heart with her, I made a comment along these lines, "Think about something for a minute....If that statement was true, you would feel completely at peace inside, maybe even joyful! The very fact that you do not & in fact feel pretty crumby, is telling you something."

This experience reminded me of an experience years ago with my own daughter. One day my daughter ran into my room in tears. After holding her for a minute, she was able to tell me that one of of her brothers had made a reactionary comment, "You are a bad girl". Even her telling me this made her tear up all over again. (And me to!)

I held her sweet little face in my hands & first I affirmed that she was absolutely a good girl. I told her in terms a young child would understand, that sometimes people say things they don't mean. Sometimes they don't even realize how they made us feel as they are reacting to things in their own experience. There are lots of reasons someone may say something hurtful. I told her that I did not know why her brothers had said that & it was not okay. I then told her there was one thing that I wanted her to understand here. If it were true, you would feel good right now. I asked her, how she felt (although it was very clear). She teared up again & told me she felt bad. I looked her in her eyes & simply said....."Then what he said is not true."

She looked at me for a moment. Then her whole countenance changed. She wiped her tears & simply said "Okay", giving me one of those make-your-heart-smile grins. I gave her one more hug & she was skipping off to play with her brothers again.

She had clearly not had this understanding of her emotions. How many of us do? But even at her very young age, something clicked within her little being. As she gained a level of understanding about this aspect of her energetic nature, her emotions, she was able to see the reality of a truth & of a lie, & in that, act accordingly. She just innately knew she did not have to hold onto a lie. If it wasn't true, it held no presidence for her.

What about those that have more of a connection to these non-truths that bring so much suffering & struggle to their lives; such as the near & dear I spoke about earlier, clearly connected to the belief "I am not good enough"? How do we become free of this? In exactly the same way.

This is why Energy Therapy, as I practice it, is so beautifully blessing lives. By simply having an accurate understanding of our energetic nature, (this includes the energetic nature of our beliefs & their emotional results) we see our experience for what it is. In doing so, we learn to work or move in harmony with this dynamic aspect of who we are & what we have been given. Resulting in freedom from false beliefs, clearing of limiting patterns & even past trauma. But more, we also learn to how to create more connected & fulfilling relationships, how to have more peace & clarity in our lives & how to live the lives of joy we are so perfectly created to.

So what can we learn here to help us in our current life experiences? This brings to light a very simple, very pure & very innate process we are given to live the gift of our own life, whatever our specific circumstances maybe......

#1- Your emotions & feelings are telling you something. Listen.
#2- These are innate gifts give to know truth for yourself. Acknowledge it.
& #3 - You now have a choice. Choose it.

Your emotions are gifts. As you come to understand this truly beautiful aspect of your energetic nature more fully, you will learn to move in much more harmony with this "music" & have more peace & joy in your life. Its amazing what unfolds as we simply acknowledge the truth of the gifts before us.

Depression...there is hope

Depression is one of those issues that almost seems epidemic. So many seem to be struggling with this. I know from personal experience how life can be such a struggle when you are having this experience. But, I also know, by that same token, that there is hope.

The reasons that one may not only feel depressed, but quite literal BE depressed, are as varied as are the individuals that experience depression. But, regardless, depression is far more than just feeling down. Study after to study has been conducted to help us understand & treat depression. We know that for each person, it is a literal physiological experience, effecting our body chemistry, just as much as it effects us psychologically.

So, what do we do? What do we have available to us?

All the years of research have revealed studies that there is much that we can do. Research & hands on experience has show how changing diet, social ties & interaction, possibly medication & other more holistic or natural resources can profoundly benefit lives.

As I am not a physician nor a licensed psychologist, I always recommend that you consult with a competent care provider if you are experiencing depression. As I am an individual who has struggled with depression, I know from my own personal experience that there is far more resources available to you than you may realize! Just one that has blessed my life & countless others, is Energy Healing or Energy Work.

Issue that we sometimes struggle with have roots that are becoming increasing more accessible. Issue that you may have no idea are alive & resonating within your body.

Isn't that great news though, that we can get to the core of things & take care of them once & for all & not have to keep trying to medicating them away. Now, I am not saying that medication does not have it's place. I know very well it does. My personal experience has shown however, that the more you can take care of what is really going on, the more the "symptoms" or "stuff" we struggle or suffer with quite literally take care of itself.

With the reach & application of Energy Work, Energy Work Practitioners are able to recognize & clear up even generational issues that one may be carrying around contributing, sometimes quite heavily, to their depression or other struggles. Generation issues can also be understood by describing them as cellular memories. It is programing in your DNA that gets passed on to you just as your eye color, hair texture & other attributes do.

What this means in Energy Work terms, is that you literally carry around with you the vibrations in your body that your ancestor did that they suffered with. Whatever the emotion, the trauma or other energetic residue that is affecting you, resulting in suffering & struggle, & in this case, depression, was the same stuff your ancestor did ump-teen years ago!

Again, the great thing is, whether it is generational residue hanging out, false beliefs being carried around or some other energetic vibration bogging you down, IT CAN BE CLEARED UP.
Working with clients in a one on one consultation, an experienced Energy Work practitioner can quickly & effectively get to the heart of an issue & assist you in doing so.

Now, I feel very strongly that every individual has the ability to receive direct inspiration for their own situation, meaning that every person has the ability to know what is right for them. If you are being led & guided to Energy Work, there is a reason for it. Please follow that inner guidance you are given.

Very often with depression, one may not even want to seek help. But, at one point, they know they need it. They begin to open to & acknowledge that something needs to be done. They get "sick & tired" of being "sick & tired". Something within them knows there is better. Someone or something comes across their path that shed just enough light that they can see, if only in blurred vision, that there is better way to live. There is hope.

I encourage you, or if someone you know is struggling with depression, to look into this information or share this information. It just may be exactly what you or they are meant to hear.
