Tantra and Depression
posted by Deva Karuno
We are in the month of September, where the “Yellow Yellow” movement aims to give visibility to the theme of suicide. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 800.000 people die from suicide each year in the world. Symptoms such as feeling of emptiness or lack of reason to live; constant mood swings; manifestation of the will to die and self-destructive attitudes, can be signs of deep depression or emotional problems.
To reduce the emotional impact that can lead to desperate situations, Tantra can assist you in this rescue of your happiness. It is very important that you have a medical follow-up in parallel.
Tantra has been a healing method for a long time, dealing with human development, bringing harmony, inner peace and happiness. Because of its enormous capacity to touch different parts of the human psyche, it is also a treatment method for depression.
In tantric therapy, we release all those dark and trapped places by opening our bodies to freedom. The process starts with the physical body first, it is impossible to vitalize with your heavy and dense body, it affects our thinking, our optimism and our ability to feel hope and certainty that we are safe. Throughout the process, we seek to reach the emotional, to learn to release repressed resentments, anger and helplessness, feelings of victims and hurts, pain and everything around us.
Tantra also refers to the aspects of sexual energy in our bodies. Sexual energy is the most powerful physical energy. Usually, depressed people are deprived of this energy, they find it difficult to use this resource to transform their lives. Through Tantra, you will learn how to open your sexual energy, how to direct it in your favor, open your heart and feel it more and more alive.
One of the ways Tantra helps treat depression is by turning pain energy into pleasure. People can be taught to feel pleasure on different levels than they know, not just sexual pleasure, emission and easy release of energy from orgasms, but a profound transformation of energy into pleasure. A pleasure that spreads through the body and spreads throughout the system. It is possible to release layers from the depths of the subconscious, what emerges is a difficult and painful reality. We can transform, creating an optimistic way of life when we connect and breathe. There are several tools we use for meditation and breathing, which can increase the vitality of the body, in addition to affecting the person's thinking and action patterns and opening the door to change for a happy and healthy life.
