Fitness – in particular dance or aerobic movement, is an easy way to combat the symptoms of depression and anxiety, a subject that is especially important in the challenging days we’ve experienced this last year and continue to do so.

Clinical Depression is a state where the individual can find no value in anything, even in life itself, and may be triggered by many catalysts rendering the person a victim of much much more than just a low mood. It’s as if the person is no longer themselves, taken over by a psychological pathogen, that debilitates and destroys from the inside out.

Feeling perpetually lost and in some cases suicidal are just two symptoms of people with depression, and for those who have never experienced this painful mental state it’s difficult to comprehend the depths of despair that stuffing depression can lead to. Often those without awareness, will tell the individual to jump out of it, buck their ideas up, or get over it, yet this is a very naive way of talking to a person with a psychological dis-ease.

Why I call it a dis-ease, is because we can contract depression from other people if we are very close to them within a relationship, just like a mental virus that we may never have had before. Alternatively, there can be a family history, or even so it might just pop up in our lives due to a catalyst like birth or loss. Yet when you dig down the core reason is always the same.

In the medical world the diagnosis can be a lowering of serotonin levels in the brain, addressed by taking pills and having therapy. Yet in the world of consciousness, depression is a symptom of a natural internal conflict of identity, and thus pills and therapy are treating symptoms not the cause.

The Consciousness world is not restricted by psychological or medical dictates, it instead looks at the individual within terms of where on the spiritual and psychological growth cycle the person is. Terms like ‘right of passage, shell identity, core and personal philosophical belief system’ are used, and introspective questioning techniques are employed to unpack identity in a holistic way; far beyond conventional therapy, in order to provide a path not only to recovery, but powerful growth in mental faculties.

Thus for those who are feeling the effects of the confusion and conflict, behind the way we thought of life in terms of normal before Covid, and abnormal now, starting to look at the limitations of the way we think and how thought can manifest into states of pain or progression, is the beginning point of overcoming depression and anxiety effectively.

Depression is a choice, it’s an unconscious choice, that is a symptom of an unconscious mind where the core identity has begun to break through the shell and thus create confusion on a fundamental level. What’s called the ‘individuals perspective reality’ is beginning to crumble as the world as we thought — through the limited band width of an individuals frequency of thought, begins to not be so solid, or restricted by the inauthentic identity. It’s an unconscious break out point of potential that is held back by the secure nature of the shell identity. Regardless of age, circumstance or background, this is an awakening that can lead to varying levels of depression, anxiety, neuroticism or even psychotic episode, until the individual recalibrates their identity beyond unconsciously adopted limitations.

At this point there is a conscious freedom of choice to either continue to suffer or begin to grow in a more spiritual and authentic psychological way, by learning why we are here and what we can do to follow what is called our destiny path.

To do nothing is to suffer our ignorance, but to take action and learn what is considered the unknown universe of the mind, and master the programming language of self, is the the first position to take to resolve depression, anxiety and many other painful symptoms for good.
