Facts on Depression

We can no more snap out of emotional difficulties than we can snap out of physical challenges.

We need practical techniques to eradicate the root of depression and anxiety.

Since depression is caused by a nexus of issues, the likelihood is that there will never be a one-size-fits-all “magic bullet” that will be a cure-all.

As long as our culture is stuck thinking that depression is only about a chemical imbalance in the brain, there will be no cure or plan of prevention in sight.

Your physiology has an inherent self-repair mechanism. There exists an internal healing intelligence that guides the healing of wounds.

Depression is a condition that intimately involves many facets of you: your physical being as well as your mental, emotional, social, and spiritual self.

Holism goes deeper than the eye can see. Human beings are more than the mortal packaging they inhabit.

Ayurveda defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being.

Health is not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.

Think of Ayurveda as Mother Nature’s spokesperson, giving instructions on how to weave threads (our daily actions) into a vibrant tapestry (our physiology).

Ayurveda goes where therapy cannot reach and offers what medication cannot provide. It tells us how we create and can undo depression.

When life-energy is depleted or blocked, physiological problems ensue, including depression.

Life-energy is the power behind our thinking; it provides us with the ability to create and experience joy.

A basic Ayurvedic tenet is that just like animals, plants, and minerals, human beings are an integral part of the natural world.

To undo depression we must create its opposite: vitality.

Happiness is the byproduct of a healthy physiology that is filled to the brim with vitality.

In order to heal depression and create happiness in our life, we need to alter our neural and biochemical patterns.

The individual is the embodiment of a field of pure potentiality.

The elemental you— your most basic form—is most accurately described as a seamless energetic system.

At our most basic level, we are an expression of the universal intelligence that underlies everything in nature.
