Author: End of Mood Disorders and The Road to Happiness

Depression, anxiety and other mood disorders are at epidemic levels in the United States. So is insomnia. The good news is that you can end the devastation of these illnesses when you heal and cleanse your energy healing. Through energy healing, you will ultimately improve your brain chemistry and achieve peace of mind and an internal sense of well being, joy and balance. If one’s energy body is not clean, intact and vibrant, no medicine will heal your depression, anxiety and other mood disorders or insomnia. It will stabilize your symptoms (and that is important), but it will not be enough to heal you. You must do the work with Reiki and energy healers to release stored negative energy from traumas and stress and become a positive thinker filled with peace and joy. You must do the work to learn to establish boundaries, build self love, self confidence and self esteem and stop generating negative energy through negative beliefs, thoughts, acts and speech.  To be mentally and physically healthy, your aura, chakras and meridians must be free of negative energy. Chi energy (the energy of life) must flow freely through your energy body without blockage from negative energy. This takes work. This can only be achieved through a combination of Reiki and other types of energy healing and ongoing spirituality, positive thinking, positive beliefs, positive speech and positive acts, not intentionally harming or deceiving others. self-love and a positive mind-set.  As a Reiki master and life coach, I have focused on healing depression, anxiety and other mood disorders and insomnia with energy healing and techniques designed to protect one’s energy body. These techniques include visualization, meditation, establishing and maintaining boundaries, handling stress factors in a positive way, avoiding negative and toxic people and mind control. These techniques enable people to be fully engaged in each precious moment of life with full presence, participation and joy. These techniques enable people to rid themselves of painful and negative memories and rid themselves of stored anger and hate. They teach people to consciously identify and stop negative thoughts and rid energy attachment to negative and toxic people. I have taught people how to generate high vibration positive energy through meditation and visualization techniques. This high vibration positive energy shakes off, burns off and repels low vibration negative energy. I have taught people how to establish reasonable boundaries and change their mindset from negative to positive. I the end, we all must love ourselves first and foremost.  This requires us to make our own peace of mind, peace of spirit and joy for life our number one priority.

Mood disorders are a problem of brain chemistry. But the problem of brain chemistry is caused by energy starvation and blockage. Chi is not able to be freely drawn in and distributed through one’s energy body because it is blocked and drained by negative energy.  A person’s energy body is drained and blocked by negative and toxic people and negative energy primarily generated from our own negative thoughts, acts and speech and our own negative and impulsive reaction to stress factors.  Negative energy is also generated by a poor self image. Visualization and meditation techniques along with positive affirmations must be used to build up a person’s self-love, self confidence and self esteem. These techniques must also be used to rid oneself of guilt and shame. Everyone has an energy body and a physical body. Our energy body is invisible to most. It animates our physical body and gives our physical body life. Some call the energy body our spirit. Our energy body is attached to our physical body. It includes an aura that surrounds us and protects us from negative energy (negative energy is low vibration energy that is the primary cause of illness), as well as chakras (spinning energy axles with energy wheels on both ends that go through our energy bodies) and meridians (energy channels that are the energy equivalent to veins and arteries). A good mental and emotional state requires a clean, vibrant and healthy energy body, free of negative energy blockages and energy attachments. Good mental health requires the positive interaction of brain chemistry and life force energy. These energies must interact properly for a person to be balanced and free of depression, anxiety and other mood disorders and insomnia. What goes on in our minds not only reflects brain chemistry, it also reflects the health of our energy bodies and the ability of our energy bodies to easily and automatically draw in and distribute life force energy for our use and for our health.

Life force energy is otherwise known as chi energy. It is abundantly available to us in the Universe to bring us life and good health. So long as our energy body is not blocked and damaged by negative energy. Chi energy bolsters our immune system and ensures that our physical body is functioning properly. It reverses the damage to brain chemistry done by stress, trauma and negative energy. Unfortunately, in many cases our energy bodies are broken, cracked and blocked by negative energy and drained by negative energy and negative and toxic people. As a result, our energy bodies cannot properly draw in and distribute chi (life force energy) for healing. The end result of a dysfunctional energy body is mental and physical illness. When one’s energy body is damaged and blocked by negative energy, chi energy cannot flow through it properly to support one’s health. Brain chemistry is damaged. The negative energy that blocks and invades one’s energy body is often caused by our own negative thoughts, emotions, acts and speech and our negative reaction to stress factors. Negative emotions include anger, fear, jealousy, etc. These emotions cause us to experience stress, primarily by our reaction to external and painful events and our ongoing obsessive and ruminating thoughts about that which is painful and negative.  Negative energy is also caused by a fight or flight mentality and fight or flight home or work environments. Stress will damage your energy body and drain your energy. So, it is critical (in fighting depression, anxiety and other mood disorders and insomnia) to avoid stressful home and work environments and negative and toxic people who cause you stress. It is also important to prevent yourself from reacting negatively to stressful situations and provocations and setting boundaries. It is important to make your own happiness and peace of mind and spirit your number one priority in life that comes before all else. All this takes the training. In addition the energy body can be damaged and vital life force energy drained from negative and toxic people.

The good news is your brain chemistry can be normalized once your energy body is cleansed and healed and made vibrant and intact.  Reiki practitioners and other energy healers can repair one’s energy body and extract negative energy from it and remove energy attachments from it. Energy attachments, a damaged energy body and attached and embedded negative energy in one’s energy body cause obsessive thoughts, ruminations and negative thoughts and emotions that drain your energy. But, they can be easily removed and extracted and your energy body healed. This can all be easily done through Reiki, and energy vibration healing (such as Emotional Freedom Techniques and Shamanic healing and crystal healing). Once the energy body is repaired and cleansed, you need to defend and protect your energy and stop burning energy needlessly with negative thoughts and emotions. You need to learn. positive thinking techniques to stop spinning and running thoughts, obsessive thoughts and ruminations (all of which burn and deplete your energy). You need to use visualization techniques to detach from painful memories (these attachments cause obsessive and ongoing negative thoughts and emotions that drain and deplete one’s life force energy) and meditation and prayer techniques to balance and pacify your mind and spirit. You also need to learn how to build and maintain boundaries and avoid negative and toxic people. In addition, you need to learn how to be fully present in each precious moment in life (and stop thinking about the future or the past while the precious moments slip away). You begin to really see and appreciate life all around you and your connection to life. You will spend more time in nature and in meditating in nature or on visualizations of nature. You will move into your heart chakra and find your connection to the divine in your heart chakra. You will begin to live there by shifting your consciousness there and out of your head – the seat of thoughts and ego, but not life and love. .Through visualization, you will learn to move divine high vibrations (as visualized white light)  from your heart and through and around your entire body as you visualize that you are a divine being pf pure white light inside and out.. Daily meditation, prayer and visualization from your heart chakra are essential to feeling the high vibrations of chi, love, peace and happiness.  You are a divine being of pure white light attached to a physical body. As you spend more time in meditation and your heart chakra, you will begin to understand that you are a divine and eternal being of light and love.  Once you feel the high vibration of your divine nature in your heart chakra, you will understand that you are divine beings of pure white light. Affirm to yourself that you are a divine being of white light, so happy to be alive. Affirm to yourself that you are happy, peaceful and serene and so thankful for your life and its many blessings.  Affirm to yourself how fortunate you are to be alive and that you love, respect, accept and forgive yourself. Through visualization, let go of guilt and shame. Let go and forgive. Make a conscious effort to be positive in your thoughts and speech. Get rid of words like “fear, worry and hate because they program your beliefs in a negative way. Make a conscious effort to hold your tongue, listen and be patient. See yourself as an amazing miracle of creation and a part of the miracle of life and nature. Smile. Let go of negativity and see the world and your life as infused with infinite possibilities and a short and wonderful miracle. As you fully connect with your pure, loving and holy higher self and your fun loving and happy inner child, you will love life and easily and automatically draw and process chi for your health and happiness.

Close your eyes and relax and breathe deeply in and out and smile. Breathe in visualized white light as unconditional love and breathe out as visualized black smoke all fear, anxiety, anger and negativity. Let go of the negative and just relax. Shift your consciousness into your heart from your head.  Visualize yourself as a divine being of blazing white light. Smile as you connect with this loving and happy being of blazing white light from your heart. Then integrate this being into you through visualization and become this being. Shift your consciousness from your head to your heart. Put your hand over your heart and close your eyes. Visualize that your heart center is a blazing sun of pure white light. Now push out the white light from your heart center and fill up your head and body and legs and arms. Push out the white light all around your body about 6 inches to a foot. See that white light as your blazing high vibration aura. Fill your self up with visualized white light through your deep breathing and visualization. Feel the white light in and around you vibrate all negativity out of you  Keep your eyes closed and take deep breaths – breathe in visualized white light and breathe out visualized black smoke (breathe out all fear, anger and negativity).Let it go. Let all negativity go. Stop thinking, and just be, just exist in the moment. Calmly remain in your heart chakra, the center of your being and your connection to your eternal soul. Remember to thank the Creator each day for life and stay in the white light. Go back to white light visualization and breathing whenever you are afraid. Close your eyes and relax. Thank and pray to the Creator daily. Whenever you are afraid, worried or anxious or agitated, go to large bodies of water in reality or through visualization and take in and breathe in that beautiful blue water. See yourself floating in the middle of a calm ocean on a cloudless day – the light blue of the sky meets the light blue of the water. Float peacefully on that water in your mind. Close your eyes and relax.  Alternatively, close your eyes, breathe deeply and smile whenever you get afraid!!  Our lives are wonderful, short and temporary miracles. But, you are an eternal being of pure white light. You are truly loved by angelic beings and the Creator. Nothing can hurt you. So, don’t be afraid. Change your beliefs from negative to positive, from rigid and finite to open and infinite and your thoughts will follow. Positive affirmations, prayer and meditation will help.

Mood disorders are also called affective disorders. Mood disorders have a major economic impact through associated health care costs as well as lost work productivity. A mood is an emotion or feeling that lasts a long time. Moods affect how we act. Your mood also affects how you feel about yourself and life in general. Mood disorder problems may be caused by changes in your life. Chemical changes in your body can also cause a mood disorder. Moods range from feeling sad to feeling happy. Women who have a mood disorder are more likely to get depressed than men. Signs and symptoms of mood disorder start very slowly. Other people may see changes before you see or feel them. However, sometimes depression can occur due to another disorder or as a drug side effect, and in these cases it is known as secondary depression. The effects of exercise in improving the symptoms of depression are well-documented. Inadequate intake of zinc, vitamin B6, iodine, vitamin B12 and folic acid during early life may impair nervous system development and permanently alter function and behavior.

Having a mood disorder can affect your ability to function at work and at home. Treatment of mood disorders such as depression is a complex process and may involve psychotherapy and drug treatment. Where there is no clear physiological cause, the disorder is known as primary depression and it seems likely that the disorder will have several contributory causes. Research has focussed on biological factors such as heredity, hormonal abnormalities, medication side effects, disease-related effects, nutritional deficiencies and psychological and social causes. Drugs which have antidepressant effects usually alter levels of neurotransmitters, serotonin and noradrenaline, which are involved in the transmission of nerve impulses in the brain. An appropriate exercise program is an important part of any treatment of depression.

Causes of Mood disorder

Some common causes of Mood disorder are as follows:

1. Family history of mood disorder.

2. Changes in your life.

3. Chemical changes in your body.

4. You use illegal drugs or abuse alcohol.

Signs or Symptoms of Mood disorder

Following are signs and symptoms of a mood disorder:

1. Changes in your eating habits, energy level, weight, or sleeping patterns.

2. Inability to function effectively.

3. Fatigue.

4. Sense of Inferiority.

5. People may have trouble getting along with you.

6. Loss of interest.

The Role of vitamins:-

1. Vitamin A: Vitamin A helps protect the mucous membranes of the nose, eyelids, mouth, throat, stomach, intestines, vagina and uterus, thereby reducing susceptibility to infection.

2. Vitamin B Complex: Vitamins B complex provide the body with energy by aiding in the conversion of carbohydrates to glucose, which the body “burns” to produce energy.

3. Vitamin C Complex: Vitamin C plays a role in healing wounds and burns because it facilitates the formation of connective tissue in the scar.

4. Vitamin D: Vitamin D can be acquired either by ingestion or by exposure to sunlight.

5. Vitamin E: Vitamin E is necessary for all forms of oxygen-consuming life forms. It is also an antioxidant, which means it opposes oxidation of substances in the body.

There are two categories of mood disorders recognized by the psychiatric community: unipolar and bipolar disorder. Both are a type of depression with the difference being those who suffer bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, also experience extreme mood swings between depression and episodes of extreme mania or high energy. The unipolar, or depression, type of mood disorder can further be broken down into the different types of depression which include: 1. Major depression. 2. Dysthymia. 3. Seasonal affective disorder. 4. Postpartum depression. Mood disorders are characterized by continued feelings of sadness, despair, guilt, irritability, loss of appetite, constant fatigue and suicidal thoughts. Different people will have different combinations of these thoughts and feelings, making it important for sufferers to seek professional help to help sort through the various symptoms. While some of these feelings are normal in daily life, when they become an on going problem that last for weeks, months and even years it is considered a mood disorder that needs some sort of medical or psychiatric treatment. The exact cause of mood disorders is not known. It does appear that many combinations of outside events can trigger an episode. It is known that many people who suffer mood disorders also have a chemical imbalance of the brain that makes them more susceptible to these depressed feelings. Research has also shown that the different types of mood disorders can run in families are thought to be a genetic trait. Treatment of mood disorders varies depending on the disorder itself and any outside influences that may contribute to the disorder. These outside influences include illness, drug or alcohol abuse or a major life changing event. Normally these need to be dealt with along with the mood disorder for treatment to be successful. The mood disorder itself can be treated with anti-depressant medication, therapy or a combination of the two. The different types of mood disorder can be treated successfully if its sufferers seek help. Unfortunately nearly half of the people who suffer from mood disorders never seek the help they need.

So, what are different kinds of mood disorders? Basically, there are quite a few known disorders ranging from anxiety, to depression, to mania, to agitation, the list just keeps going on! Most disorders can be traced back to a chemical imbalance in the brain, which can occur naturally, or though the abuse of various substances.

When this invasion into the conscience happens, it manifests as your loss of control of your behaviour. The anti-conscience wishes to completely destroy your conscience, so that it may control your behaviour completely and transform you into a crazy and violent creature. Therefore, when this poisonous content invades your human conscience, you start feeling annoyed, irritated and nothing can satisfy you. This is why your mood suddenly changes and you feel desperate, you lose your courage, become too nervous and nothing can give you the peace you need.

Its shocking to note that mood disorders these days are not uncommon. In the United States alone it is estimated that between 15 and 20 million people suffer from depressive disorders. Most symptoms of depression would be characterized as overwhelming sadness and loss of joy and pleasure in daily activities.

There are two categories of mood disorders recognized by the psychiatric community: unipolar and bipolar disorder. Both are a type of depression with the difference being those who suffer bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, also experience extreme mood swings between depression and episodes of extreme mania or high energy.

Depression is mainly because of the consequences of life such as the death of kin etc. Most of these kinds of depression (bipolar) fade away with the time and as one takes the new situation in his/her stride. It is not for nothing that they say time is the best healer. The chronic mood disorders (unipolar), in some cases genetic, require medical attention as they can be life threatening (suicides). The unipolar mood disorders are major types and clinical attention is necessary.

Treatment of mood disorders such as depression is a complex process and may involve psychotherapy and drug treatment. Drugs which have antidepressant effects usually alter levels of neurotransmitters, serotonin and noradrenaline, which are involved in the transmission of nerve impulses in the brain. There are several types and they have slightly different effects in the body. People respond differently to the various types of antidepressant drugs; and a person’s symptoms, age, whether or not they have a physical illness, suicide risk, and response to previous medication may help to play a role in deciding what drugs are given.

Mood disorders are also called affective disorders. Mood disorders have a major economic impact through associated health care costs as well as lost work productivity.
