Depression affects as much as 16% of the population in some shape or form. Depression is different from bouts of misery in that it is often described as a lingering cloud of negativity that affects almost every aspect of your life. Those that have or are suffering from depression frequently speak of being constantly surrounded by a black cloud or curtain. Any sort of zest for life is virtually non-existent underneath the over-bearing feeling of pessimism and negativity. Energy levels are usually low and everyday tasks can feel like arduous and mundane chores.
Grave and suicidal thoughts, intense emotions such as anger and resentment, and self punishment such as addictions can all manifest as a result of being depressed. The effect on loved ones can often strain relationships and even break up marriages. It takes a strong person indeed to be constantly around those suffering the effects of depression.
The typical western approach to treating the symptoms of depression can involve any number of therapies, from drugs to counselling, to cognitive or behavioural therapy. All have their place and in certain individuals they have indeed proved successful. However, there are drawbacks to these approaches; drugs can often have side effects and counselling can take a considerable amount of time. Both can be a massive drain on personal resources. This begs the question - is there an alternative? There is if we are willing to look at it from a different perspective.
Depression - an alternative view
Depression is, in its essence, a mesh of negative thoughts. These negative thoughts invoke vibrations in our body that manifest in negative emotions, such as anger, blame, resentment, pessimism, unhappiness, sadness, loneliness etc. When these negative emotions remain unchecked and are in constant flow, depression can set in. Consequently, the body vibrates at a less than optimal level leaving it vulnerable to illness, mental disorders and further negativity. If the body is now vibrating with a constant stream of negative emotions, what then is going to be projected to the universe? - negativity! Negativity breeds more negativity and negative situations, events and people will be attracted as this is all that can now be seen by those who are depressed. It plays into a vicious circle of seemingly endless misery and depression.
The sufferer may try to put on a brave face but underneath there is still a festering ball of negativity. What many depression sufferers are however aware of is one thing: that all the constant negativity, the blame, the anger, the resentment, the loneliness, the misery is not them. They recognise that it is not who they really are. In the few days the sun does shine through the dark clouds of the mind, in their hearts, they know they are not the accumulation of the negativity in their lives, they are more than that. If they know that they are not 'that' person, what then is it their mind is at the mercy of? Why are they having the negative thoughts and emotions and endless chatter in their minds? What they are actually experiencing is the effects of the pain body.
The pain body is a phrase made famous by Eckhart Tolle, in his book "A New Earth". It essentially describes the pain body as an energetic parasite; an energetic ball of negativity that is inherited from our parents. It has its own innate intelligence - much like a virus, and like a virus, its primal instinct is survival. In order to survive the pain body must have fuel and its fuel just happens to be the energy from negative thoughts and emotions.
In those who have dense pain bodies, it will try its best to flood the mind with negative chatter and then feed on the ensuing reaction. A typical example is road rage. A seemingly mild mannered man turns into a foul mouthed and aggressive jerk when he is cut up in the flow of traffic. The pain body will feed on the surge of negative energy from this event.
Where the depression is severe or clinical, the pain body virtually takes control of the mind. The more it can flood the mind with negativity, the more it can feed and endeavour to survive. Before long an addiction to unhappiness sets in as the pain body literally pretends to be the person. This is why when asked "what does it feel like to be depressed?" the sufferer will usually respond "not me!" They are sub-consciously recognising the presence of the pain body.
How a pain body is formed
The pain body is formed from the traumatic events in our life that we have not resolved and kept suppressed over time. These are the events we feel are too difficult to deal with so we block them from our mind. The energy of the event is still within us, and if not dealt with, gets locked into the energetic psyche of the body. Eventually, the energetic imprint of the trauma evolves and detaches itself from the body but still remains in our energetic self. Only now it has primitive intelligence and will do what it can to survive.
The pain body is passed down from parent to child at birth. How active it is will depend on its density and how much drama and trauma the child has to endure while growing up. It can be a shock to the system to learn there is something inside us that feeds in such a way but this information is not something that was brought into mass conscious awareness until recently.
What can we do to dissolve the pain body and overcome depression?
This is where a pain body release session can help. A pain body release is the energetic dissolving of the pain body. By applying an energy so pure and powerful to your being, the pain body can be reduced or dissolved. As a result, the effect it has on the mind and emotions is significantly diminished.
How does this help me overcome depression you may ask? If we view depression as the accumulation of negative thoughts and emotions, causing the body to vibrate at less than optimum level, and the pain body as a significant source for these negative thoughts and emotions; how then can they plague the mind if the pain body is dissolved?
People who have experienced a pain body release report a freedom and inner peace they have never before had in their lives. Many often discover an inner sense of who they really are as their true essence starts to emerge.
