The title is a little clickbaity because it could equally be titled how to deal with absolutely any mental state, but everyone should hear it so I approve.
Some of the causes of depression can be a chronic imbalance of the elements in the body according to both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Tibetan Medicine. These need to be treated in order to enable the person suffering depression a basis of health to overcome their depression.
Amituofo Venerable Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo 🙏 Thank you for your profound Dharma talk. This has reinforced my learning from my Zen Chan Mahayana meditation class at my Bao Lin Chan Monastery. Amituofo 🙏
I'm sure this could really help some people but it's really not a good solution for most people who have serious cases of medical depression. Maybe it could help them cope a bit though? Her intentions seem very good and sincere.
@@hasansweidan7295 Oh it can definitely help but just like exercise can't fix a chemical imbalance in someone's brains if they're suffering of chronic medical depression, neither can mediation. It just seems kind of irresponsible to offer something help as a cure. Like if someone has brain cancer, an advil can help with headaches but it can't neccessarily fix the main issue.
Ataraxia Meditation doesn’t fix the main issue, but it helps you cope with the heavy symptoms of depression like energy loss and nightmares. I am a sufferer of major depressive disorder and I have tried a lot of types of antidepressants, they just didn’t work for me. CBT and the natural route is the way to go, along with spirituality
True. There really needs to be some understanding generally within traditional Buddhist (and yoga) circles of the difference between “feeling down” and being clinically depressed. The latter is not simply psychological, but neurological. Further, injury and underlying medical conditions (I.e brain tumours) can cause clinical depression - therefore it is absolutely essential to consult a doctor - rather than try to meditate your way through.
Im trying so hard to see past my vails but it seems Im just getting worse and worse. Ive been trying to practice letting go but the pain just keeps getting more intense.
We are so sorry to hear of your problems. There might be some guided meditations on our SoundCloud channel that you could follow: soundcloud.com/studybuddhism
@@studybuddhism Ive been looing for good meditations, thank you. Since this comment I began exercising regularly, stopped doing drugs completely and been seeing the path everywhere. It seems every aspect of my life, down to the smallest piece, is an echo of a truth or lesson I am learning in the moment. Thank you for your compassion. It truly helps just to be heard
@@ezrafortner3690 I hope you have found some peace in the Dharma wisdom. Always remember how spacious the mind can be. Open it up to all. Peace, love and enlightenment to you.
Trying to let go is the wrong approach. Witnessing or observing the emotions and thoughts as they rise and fall, not becoming tangled in the content, is the heart of meditation. What you are describing is suppressing thoughts and emotions. The more one practices insight meditation, the more one achieves this subtle non - attachment, observing the ebb and flow of thoughts.
sangita mazumder sit in silence. empty your mind. accept things as they are. accept distractions, let them pass without judgement. don't try too hard to think. the first thousand sessions will feel pointless. it will feel as though you are wasting time and getting nowhere, keep at it. focus on your breathing... deeper, your heartbeat, then once you can hear your heart pounding like a drum in your silence, let your mind release those thoughts. i'd also suggest some reading material. the gateless gate was very helpful to me.
Sit comfortably and focus on your breathing. The more completely you focus on your breathing the less the mind will create mental chatter. The object of meditation is to cease thought and simply be. This is why this technique is the simplest and most effective method. If your mind is still producing thought then you are not meditating. At every given moment the mind is working hard to make sense of the world around us. It is a useful tool if used correctly. Meditation helps us perceive the world beyond mental constructions and attachment by detaching from them for a while.
@@trillionmindfulintentions2132 Therapy isn't just about stress anxiety or suffering, everything in this world can't be solved with meditation and Buddhist practices and a Buddhist is allowed to feel their emotions so there's nothing wrong in going one
All this is true, however not really helpful. Until one sees it, one doesn’t. And even then one can, and will suffer the pains of isolation. Pain is the great motivator in life, and therefore it’s a teaching aid. No pain no gain. If one can accept this as ones, karma without feeling that one is a victim of some outside force, it does make it easier to live with. Enlightenment does not mean freedom from pain. It means being able to keep everything in perspective. Remember, even The Buddha cried.
Omg the more i listen to this woman the more i realize that she spent too much time in that cave. Woman, depression is a disease. You are talking nonsense things. I don’t understand people who applaud your empty words. Please stop!!!
I see where you are coming from, but not every word is always used according to its literal dictionary definition. For example the word "cool" is not always used to mean "of low temperature". That is just the nature of language. IMHO anyway.
Woman's hair 1 Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. You look terrible with short hair, you look like a man. Woman are beautiful with long hair! Follow the Bible God's Word!
No it not necessary of hair for living she is beautiful or not it's according your negetive mind and think positive should be she had no hair means she had no connection between beautiful body only heart thinking should be beautiful and positive she don't give a shit of her body beauty means is in dharma sangha monk
I like how Buddhists are grappling with the primordial nature of consciousness and self worth and Christians are like you need to have long hair because it makes you hot 🤣
Hermosa Maestra, gracias!!! Hay que escuchar varias veces esta inspiradora enseñanza Graci!!!

Meditation and exercise are proven to reduce severe depression.

Ataraxia meditation= training your brain to think less-> worry less-> longer activation of the relaxation response->happier person

Здравствуйте! Благодарю за публикацию таких видео! Пожалуйста, скажите, почему вы не используете русскую озвучку, а только субтитры?
This is good advice for loneliness or other kleshas but not for depression. If you are depressed, you need to get professional help.

Maybe the key to letting go is to stop holding on...
Yup , exactly

Dangerous trying to heal the feeling of worthless with the idea of limitlessness.

why would you seek therapy if you are immune to stress anxiety and suffering?
