Depression

[angelsugar1]

I have hit a new low in life. Confused and lost. It feels like living a life that holds no purpose. Nothing is going the way I want it to be and that's frustrating and sad. Is there any way I can heal myself through meditation and crystals? I don't know what else to do.

angelsugar, things will be okay. Yes meditation is key. Crystals may be too, but not my area. When I was exactly in your spot a friend happened to share a book someone gave him. THE LIFE You Were Born TO LIVE (Finding your Life Purpose) by Dan Millman. An awesome book that helps me change my life.

Be well ~

Meditation slows things down so you can perhaps understand yourself better. Crystals would only help if you actually feel their energy.

I would also suggest reading about how this life works...getting some power and confidence.
Um, there's "The Game of Life and How to Play It'---Florence Scovel-Shinn
'Ask And It Is Given' - Ester Hicks and Abraham

There are 2 excellent ones! :Thumbsup:

When in a state as you describe...at first meditation is not meditation it is
sitting and listening to your mind...it could make things worse!
My opinion....and I LOVE meditation and have done it for decades...
But for the beginner...they are usually faced by what the Buddhists call 'monkey mind'.
Just something to be aware of.
Hope some of this helps.

meditation, prayer, crystals, music, laughter, forgiveness, anything POSITIVE....my heart goes out to you, i understand depression very well from experience. keep looking for ways to get yourself out of it. even if things improve just a little bit at a time, its still an improvement. Eventually little improvements add up to big improvement. i can remember being depressed, but wanting to get better. once i realized it wasn't going to be this spontaneous thing i started to improve in small ways. something as simple as going for a walk instead of watching tv, or small realizations from meditation. be positive, getting better can happen in the smallest of ways. don't be too hard on yourself.

Yes good advice pdizzle45 and others i agree, also i will add to angelsugar1 when i have felt confused, lost, frustrated and like my life is going no where something that has helped me is to just go out doing what ever, we don't know what were doing right? so we might as well just do anything lol and through doing this other things open up in your life and the ball starts rolling again. If theres something that you actually want tho, set the intention let the universe know what you want and go after it, it will happen, you've godda go for it and create it, Things work out.

I can confirm that meditation, either as a separate practice or in combination with crystals, can help a great deal. However, you would have to create a habit out of it. It won't help much if you meditate a couple of days and then skip the next day. Let it become your everyday activity and then you will start noticing changes for the better.

Absolutely essential key is to make it a HABIT:

Thoughts become words
Words become actions
Actions become habit
Habit becomes character
And our character becomes our destiny

Thanks sunnyray, and hang in there AS1

Meditation and deep breathing/other breathing exercises, those two things can help one work through a lot. maybe check out pranayama. but look at other areas of your life, too (e.g., food you eat, physical exercise, relationships and influences in your life, etc.); your path through it will ultimately be completely unique to you, so it always takes some experimentation to figure out what life changes or practices you yourself would find most useful

Thank you to all of you guys for your lovely advises. I am in a much better state emotionally right now. Have been trying to meditate and think more positively and things are looking up better. Also looking into possibly buying an amethyst gemstone. Thanks again guys:)
