The hard thing in my opinion is that depression is the result of unreleased conflict and LoA only works when conflict is eliminated. I'm speaking from experience, not from formal training. There aren't many good models for overcoming serious depression. Those that there are require you to become aware of the processes that lead to the depressive state. You have to catch the feedback loop before it spirals out of control. Practice noticing the thoughts then press pause. Allow yourself to experience the negative thought fully. Accept, and don't try to change. Then realize that it is something you are experiencing, not something that you are, and let it go. Keep practicing this and it will lead to other realizations, such as recognizing that a particular situation triggers the cycle, or that some issue is at odds with another and that conflict triggers the cycle. This knowledge will allow you to make make changes in the context of your experience to make your life more congruent with your desire for happiness.
Yeah, it's really learning how to manifest. |
