1
00:00:00,031 --> 00:00:15,293
Think very important question you have any experience or advice that you can share with people who suffer from depression a breath meditation and Mindfulness helped me to be more balanced.

2
00:00:16,035 --> 00:00:16,635
How do I?

3
00:00:17,417 --> 00:00:21,803
progress further from here Start looking at the depression

4
00:00:25,512 --> 00:00:33,080
You only suffer from depression because you cling to it, because you see it as a problem.

5
00:00:34,002 --> 00:00:43,772
If you see it as a condition, as an experience, and moreover if you see it as something that you can learn from, then you find that it's not really that scary.

6
00:00:44,854 --> 00:00:46,355
Don't try to balance yourself.

7
00:00:46,596 --> 00:00:48,718
Learn about your imbalance.

8
00:00:48,698 --> 00:00:50,440
But that's great.

9
00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:53,302
I mean, breath meditation, mindfulness will help to balance you.

10
00:00:53,943 --> 00:00:55,744
Learning about it will help to balance you.

11
00:00:56,205 --> 00:00:57,886
But... Just don't be afraid of it.

12
00:00:58,547 --> 00:00:59,968
Yeah.

13
00:01:00,048 --> 00:01:06,834
Yeah, I mean, the fact that you're asking the question, I mean, it's hard because we're, you know, you're not here with me meditating.

14
00:01:06,894 --> 00:01:14,481
So all these questions, specific questions, it's hard to give, to know if you're giving the exact advice that the person needs.

15
00:01:14,541 --> 00:01:16,343
But in general...

16
00:01:16,323 --> 00:01:39,192
when you're you you seem to feel like you've hit a block you say okay it's helped me but what's next and that's kind of you know the idea is what I get from that is that you're still depressed right you're better able to deal with it but you're still depressed so what's the next step that's really going to help you get rid of your depression and that shows that you're kind of missing

17
00:01:39,172 --> 00:01:50,270
You may be kind of missing the point, and the point is not to strive for balance, not to strive for escape from the depression, but to learn about it.

18
00:01:51,112 --> 00:01:59,205
Because you wouldn't ask the question, what's next, or how do I progress further, if all of your problems were gone, right?

19
00:01:59,225 --> 00:02:01,028
So if you still have problems...

20
00:02:01,008 --> 00:02:04,674
then the only thing I can suggest is to look at them.

21
00:02:05,134 --> 00:02:06,196
Stop being afraid of them.

22
00:02:06,256 --> 00:02:08,119
Stop trying to get away from them.

23
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:09,541
Start learning about them.

24
00:02:10,863 --> 00:02:11,825
Start examining them.

25
00:02:13,127 --> 00:02:18,155
Think of it as a laboratory, as your school.

26
00:02:19,617 --> 00:02:24,785
Playground is a bad word.

27
00:02:24,805 --> 00:02:26,728
You touched on this question before.
