The word “depression” is thrown around at great lengths to describe someone’s feelings in today’s life. Whether you’re having a bad day or feeling a bit off, the word depression seems to be bandied around by all and sundry.

My belief is that depression is nothing more than being out of alignment to your soul or your soul purpose in life. In other words……... What did you come here for? And how come you are no longer on purpose?

When we arrive on this planet, we all have a purpose to achieve and a list of things we wish to experience. Somehow we loose track of those either by temptation or ignorance and we need to get back on track. My belief is that when we are off track too far and are finding it hard to come back to our purpose, we get depressed. We think we will never make it home. This is just our body telling us we are no longer functioning the way we agreed to when we agreed to come back for this incarnation.

Depression ought not to be treated as an illness, it is simply being out of balance with the Mental, Physical, Spiritual, Emotional aspects of life.

With the Western world focusing so much on the Mental and Physical the attention to assist depression needs to be on the Emotional and Spiritual. It is understandable why this does not happen as it lacks elders or teachers and lacks leadership in today’s instantaneous world.

Depression is nothing more than a warning to recapture our human balance. To achieve ascension or enlightenment the path is the balance of the Mental, Physical, Spiritual and Emotional. This is the hard part and this is where you need a skilled ELDER to guide you through the journey back to full health.
