This – “I did it myyyyy way” sounds good to me The only way to do it really.

Somebody recently said that MIND is the ‘DOING’ aspect - and BODY is the ‘BEING’ aspect.
Sounded about right to me.

I have got cousins that learned ‘doing’ as their first modus operandi to relate to the world.
I in turn learned ‘being’ (or ‘not-doing’) as my first modus operandi.
Between us - there is a gulf of perception, but I don’t impose this ‘being mode’ upon them, because you just can’t stitch the gulf up with words or concepts.

So it depends, where you are ‘coming from’, as to what you have to do. If you only know ‘doing’ then there is quite a bit to unlearn. If you ‘come from being’ (or not-knowing) background, then it is good to get some understanding what this ‘doing’ business does. Though it can become a bottomless pit really to look too much into it.

As an example one young woman crying her way through three years of release, just wants to be happy. She is yet to experience the underlay of joy and happiness that is always present as I know. The seriousness of her own pain and suffering is still holding a greater balance in her to know differently. No matter how much she knows logically or intellectually what everyone aware is saying, she herself has to attain to that point within to actually shift her focus from suffering to joy.

Sometimes the cause of depression can be as simple as a severe zinc deficiency or hypothyroidism.
So zinc supplements might be in order and for thyroid – would bumble bee breathing help?

One could also start from totally not-knowing and set up an intent to find out experimentally – what joy is?
Joy slowly grows and expands or gathers like the wind beneath ones ‘wings’.

First *sign* of coming out of depression could be a glimpse of joy expressed by a swallow sitting on a boat catching a breeze, then the light in the eyes of an excited young puppy catches your attention, the next you start to notice your own renewed enthusiasm for life and with that you also start to see the quality of brightness and lightness of auras on people who are happy and joyous. (Reality being a bit like a mirror - reflecting – 'where you are at' with it).
Unless of course one makes pain and suffering or twisted bitterness one’s ‘occupation’, because with that, one can try to manipulate/hoax people and milk attention energy from others or something like that.

Openness is the key to allowing everything as your own process requires. It is a big factor as I see it.

Yes, absolutely! And the ability to relax your being into that openness - come what may.
