This one is rather a personal one. This one needs to be spoken. Depression. It is a insurmountable mountain, a dark shadow that never leaves your side, when you are in it. I've been there, and so have many, many dear souls whom are silently suffering more than you will ever know. Then, suddenly, we are confronted with a phenomenally high suicide rate..or we think it is sudden, but really is it just that people are talking about it more? Talking about, but not really doing anything to help, not knowing where to help.
Tonight, a dear friend of mine tried to take her own life. Because it got that bad. There are many who are reeling at the shock.
So tonight, I would like to talk to you about dis-ease at a soul level. This comes to pass, when we are so disconnected spiritually, that we are looking for a purpose, any purpose in our lives - and struggling to find any. Soul sadness, fear ridden and having no idea where to start to find a real connection back to yourself. It is deep, and dark, and utterly hopeless - or so we think. But do you know what? No matter what is happening in this life, in our human experience, we are never, ever alone.
We all walk this journey with a phenomenal amount of help, if only we will pause and ask for it. We all have a soul team - our own angels, that love and care for us, as long as we let them in. You might ask, why do they let all this bad stuff happen? Angels are governed by free will, your free will. They will only help when you tell them what it is you need. How do we connect to them you ask? Well, that is a whole subject in itself. But all you need to do is talk to them. You might feel crazy when you first start doing this, but the more you talk to them, the more you will hear them, and see their presence in your life.
But if you are one of the dear souls who are struggling right now, what can you do? Well, your first step always is to make sure that you are safe, reach out for support anyway you can. Friends, family, medical professionals, help lines, do what you need to to ensure that you are safe. This is your primary course of action. Anything spiritual related needs to come secondary when in crisis mode.
A lot will be trial and error, some things will work for you, and others will not. But your first port of call needs to be loving and accepting yourself exactly as you are. Every hurdle in your life, has created the magnificent being that you are right now. Your strength, your determination, your ability to love and nurture all those around you - these are there because you have earned them. Chances are though, that you've been so busy being there for everyone else, that you've forgotten who you are, to love and adore every corner, every perfect molecule of yourself....
Meditation is a fantastic way of connecting back with yourself, your true self, your higher self. It is an amazing way of lowering your stress levels, for managing anxiety - but it is also a great way for connecting with your soul team too. There are a million different ways, and different times in your day, where your soul team is communicating with you. And do you know what happens when you ignore these messages, or just get so mad busy that you just don't see them? They get louder and louder, until you get to a point where you have no choice but to listen. So be aware of your surroundings, what do you see, hear, smell, experience..what do you feel in your being? Those little whispers you hear, that feeling in your tummy, they all need to be acknowledged - and the more you acknowledge them the more clearly you will hear, see, feel them.
For me, reiki was also important. It bought my chakras back into alignment, and allowed my energy to flow through my body in a much more balanced way.
Find the things that make you happy, when you acknowledge what these things are, it is much easier to try and fit them into your day, even if it requires a great deal of scheduling to make it happen. Repeat after me..I am important. I am loved. I stand in the power of all that is me. I am light and love, I deserve to experience love and abundance in all aspects of my life. Repeat it often.
The more you can love yourself, truly love yourself, the more ability you will have to honour yourself in the choices you make with your energy and time. You are deserving, you are beautiful, you are you. Please recognise this, and know that everything is temporary and this too shall pass.
Thank you for being here, from my heart to yours
