Beating Depression Naturally
Take Back Your Joy of Living

What causes depression?

A prolonged mind storm of negative thoughts.

Beating depression naturally is possible with cognitive restructuring and the healing power of meditation.

Three steps to depression recovery:

1. Learn about your ego's negative self talk. Negative thinking is a product of your ego.

   Depression is the result of prolonged identification with self-disparaging and self-limiting thoughts; false beliefs and judgments. Once you grasp that concept, and stop believing the lies of your ego, depression recovery is well underway.

2. Learn how to watch your thoughts and quiet your mind. Unfortunately most negative thinking occurs at a subconscious level of your mind.

   In other words, you are not consciously aware that your mind is on a downward spiraling thought stream leading into a pity party.

   Watching your thoughts flowing through your mind,empowers you to change your thinking (cognitive restructuring) before you sink into unconsciousness.

3. Learn how to meditate using the Ishayas Ascension Meditation.

   I recommend this type of meditation because I know it works - particularly when it comes to altering your moods that are caused by distorted thinking.

You don't have to do this alone.

In fact, beating depression may only be possible with qualified help.

I attribute my personal recovery from an almost fatal depression to a combination of modalities - but the final and most successful healing was the result of regular practice of the Ishayas Ascension meditation, plus the amazing emotional support of my teachers.

I have since become a qualified personal life coach, and an Ishaya teacher dedicated to helping others improve their lives.

Therefore, I am committed to, and qualified to guide you on your path to restoring your joy of living and to experience the awesome peace of mind that I now enjoy.

The rate of recovery, and the degree one's success is dependent on each individual and the severity of their depression.

A mild form of depression experienced over a long period of time may be more difficult to overcome that a severe type of depression.

I do not presume to offer a permanent cure for everyone who follows the three steps offered above.

The techniques offered are natural, safe and without harmful side effects. But please do not discontinue your medications, without first consulting with your doctor.

Many medical professionals recommend meditation to their patients with great results.

I wish you much success on whatever path you take to beating depression. You deserve it more than you know now.
