Understanding and treating DEPRESSION effectively without drugs

One of the most misdiagnosed medical conditions and inappropriately used words is 'DEPRESSION'. It is a word used to describe feelings of sadness, grief, disappointment, or hopelessness. Yet, depression is none of these things

Depression is actually a shutdown of your willingness and ability to feel emotions or deal with life. It is a means of escape from extreme stress, pain, loss of control, and unhappiness. You shut down and stop feeling because you are either trying to escape from extreme stress or deep emotional pain, or you are feeling powerless or unwilling to get what you need or want

50% of people in USA feel LONELY

85% of people say they are unhappy

Depression is 10X more prevalent than 50 years ago

18,800,000 Americans (10%) suffer with depression

There are hundreds of reasons why you might not be getting your needs met. Some of them can be caused by circumstances beyond your control. For instance, when you lose a child or someone important to you, your need for love and closeness can no longer be met. So, you will experience deep grief

A depression-like state can also result from a chemical imbalance caused by nutritional deficiencies, sluggish liver function, traumatic physical accident, or head injury

For the most part, depressed people have endured a prolonged unwillingness, refusal, or inability to connect with what they feel or ask for what they need. They have lost hope and given up. Lacking satisfaction or empowerment, they see life from a negative perspective

When life becomes unacceptable and unhappy and you believe this will never change, your mind wants to escape and shut out the discomfort, unhappiness, or pain. So you shut down emotionally. That is depression

You may not feel heard. In some cases, you may not even realize your own needs or feelings. Or, you may be putting all your effort and attention into making others happy and are neglecting your own needs

In other words, you’ve become a martyr and have begun to believe you are an innocent victim. You aren't taking charge of your life in a positive and pro-active manner. Instead, you feel a loss of control and a sense of hopelessness. This is why depression is experienced more commonly by women and youth

Depression has its roots in childhood

The past doesn't stay in the past...Your unhealed childhood wounds keep showing up in your life

Childhood abuse, neglect or lack of nurturing (including babies who are not picked up or soothed when they cry) teaches you to believe that your needs are never going to be met. This mindset affects the hypothalamus (emotions), pituitary, and adrenal axis

The release of adrenaline begins with the pituitary gland producing CRF (Cortical Releasing Factor). CRF is the neuro-peptide of negative expectations. It is released in reaction to threats (either real or imagined). The adrenals begin to produce corticosterone (steroids) needed for damage control. Stress increases steroid production

Eventually, too much CRF in your system inhibits other NP’s, leaving a smaller range of behaviour. Words, fear and judgment curtails the release of beneficial neuropeptides. That is why depression is both a physical AND a psychological state

Depressed people are in a high state of CRF activation due to a disrupted feedback loop that fails to signal when there are sufficient levels of steroids in the blood. CRF is 10 times higher in suicide victims and those who are depressed

Does depression result from prolonged sadness, grief, disappointment or hopelessness?

Absolutely. Negative expectations form with negative experiences. Memory of trauma is stored in cells where they prompt a constant stream of NP release. Prolonged emotional pain without solution or relief can make you want to shut down and become numb to avoid anguish. That is why one of the characteristics of depression is described as 'numbness’

Your emotions are an integral aspect of your sensory system, along with touch, taste, smell, vision, hearing and intuition. The unique role of your senses and feelings is discernment--this feels good...this feels ba. So, when you force your emotions to shut down, your other senses also begin to diminish. Food loses its taste. Colours fade. Everything seems lack-lustre. Nothing interests you or brings pleasure any more

When you are depressed, you can't identify your needs, let alone act to have them fulfilled

Why drug therapy may actually cause more harm than good

The clinical pathology of depression is diagnosed as a shortage of Serotonin in the brain. Pharmaceuticals are used to block the serotonin re-uptake inhibitor, forcing serotonin to flood cell receptors and restore balance

But, there are many serotonin receptors in other parts of the body, such as the intestines. If they become flooded, gastrointestinal disorders result and killer T cell action is halted (immune malfunction). This means cancerous tumors and other health issues can develop

One of the main reasons that depression medication is often unhelpful and may even prompt suicide, is that medications are prescribed to people who are not actually depressed. They are simply missing the dopamine release they have become habituated to through scrolling on media or partaking in intense sports workouts

Dopamine habituation/addiction also happens regularly to those who engage in intense athletic training. After quitting their sport, dopamine withdrawal is why athletes commonly experience depression and suicidal tendencies

Depression resists any type of drug therapy that aims to suppress steroids

Steroids are the control factors that work at helping you stay safe. Cellular biologist Candace Pert demonstrated that when emotions are expressed, NP’s flow freely and all systems are united and whole. When emotions are repressed, denied, or restricted, neural network pathways get blocked, stopping the free-flow of feel-good unifying NP’s that run all biology and behavior

Pert concluded that all exogenous drugs are potentially harmful because they interrupt or inhibit natural feedback loops, cell receptors, and multiple organs and body systems in an attempt to change, neutralize, or mitigate feelings that we do not want to have

There is no medication that can restore personal power, help you get your needs met, or solve issues that are causing you to shut down emotionally. Live flower essences are more effective in overcoming depression and suicidal thoughts, because they restore the ability to feel, overwrite negative emotions, help reframe thought processes so you see things in a different light, and empower you to recognize your needs and seek to have them met. They cannot harm you or cause side-effects. Additionally, our one-on-one coaching ensures that you gain the right tools to remain empowered

That’s why Enlightened Feelings live flower frequencies are the ideal solution to depression

(So much so that in 2011, BioPharma companies began experimenting with using frequencies to treat depression)

How to successfully treat depression

Recovery depends on being able to re-connect with all your senses, feelings, and experiences. In this way you re-connect with your body, needs and desires. Using all of your senses helps you make better choices, such as avoiding danger or pain

Are there particular living essence fusions that can do this?

Yes—But, choosing appropriate essence fusions depends on the cause of the depression. Was your heart badly broken? Did you lose someone you love? Have you been serving others but ignoring your own needs? Are you in an abusive relationship? Were you abused or neglected as a child?

Also, when working with depression, you must address ALL of the layers ... Control issues, the origin of emotional pain, personal empowerment.

That's why we approach it with a 3-step protocol

For best results we recommend our custom testing service which is designed to get to your root cause without you having to talk about your feelings and experiences. We then create the exact custom live flower frequencies formula and protocol you will need. Then we monitor, support, and coach you during your process.

But, if you are determined to do it yourself, there are at least 3 steps. First, you create grounding and centering to promote inner stability and security. When you are grounded and centred, you know how you really feel about things and have a more clear sense of what is appropriate or inappropriate for you

Control releasing essences such as CONTROL RELEASE, FLOW or I AM FLEXIBLE are suitable, as they open the door for re-framing negative thought patterns. you'll find them under STRESS & ANXIETY RELIEF

Next, you release old trauma and pain with a custom essence or an essence remedy from our TRAUMA HEALING collection, or CHILDHOOD & FAMILY ISSUES

You may also need to prescribe an adjunct supportive essence from our NURTURING & SELF-CARE collection. They are used concurrently at least 2 hours apart from the primary essence

Trauma takes at least 42 days to permanently dissolve. Once the trauma has been cleared, you must instill positive, self nurturing feelings and empowerment from our SELF-WORTH & CONFIDENCE collection. These should be repeated for 3-5 days at least once a month to develop a positive habit pattern

IMPORTANT: Live Flower essences can help you to feel wonderful. And that can make you want to stop taking your anti-depressant medication. Do not stop taking medication suddenly or without your doctor's supervision. Do not use our products as a substitute for qualified medical care ~
