Depression...a Gift

Listen Instead

In my mid-30s I was in a deep, dark hole with no light in sight and was planning to commit suicide. That hole was unrelenting depression. Even though I had a young, joyful, smart daughter, a successful and caring husband, and good friends, all I wanted was to escape from depression’s grip and leave this planet behind. With help from my nonphysical guides, angels and physician and family friend (whom I recognized from a past life), I begin to see depression as a gift, a time of walking through the darkness to find the light, my light. Here are notes from that journey:

■ Depression is nothing to be ashamed of; in fact, depression can help build you instead of destroying you. Look at depression as a positive, or a soothing, healing time of slowing down and a necessary way to coming in touch with you by finding a relationship with you that has been lost.

■ Anytime you focus more on taking care of or pleasing others, rather than on nurturing you, your inner courage or Light begins to wane, to dim, and it won’t take long before your body lets you know that your mind and heart are not in sync. That painful imbalance is called depression. For some, medication may be part of regaining that balance, but for all achieving that stability, say those on the Other Side, is to realize that you may go through doubts and droughts, but there will come a time when your life will be fruitful again. It’s part of your core-spirit legacy.

■ You are here to build your statute and your soul and to find the brightness of your Light within. When you become depressed, you’ve forgotten how to take care of the most precious gift which the Universe or the All-That-Is or God has given you and that is yourself.

■ Many clients of mine who come to me for a Light Message session believe that they aren’t worthy of a balanced life and joy, whether stemming from their past actions or actions against them. I offer to them, and now offer to you, these words I gave to myself to help me to leave the darkness and find my Light (remember words possess powerful energy): “I am worthy. I am worthy. I am worthy. I choose joy. I choose joy. I choose joy.”
