3 Words That Relieve Stress, Depression & Anxiety
By :
Chris Green
One of the most common flawed modes of behavior performed by every sufferer who enters into a harrowing episode of stress, depression or anxiety concerns the words they use to describe situations and events they are confronted with.

7 Steps to uncrush your soul: Grief and Sadness
By :
Albert Foong
Imagine a gruesome physical injury. Can you look at it? Can you touch it? Sadness and emotional pain is the same. We can't deal with it or acknowledge it. But you have to deal with lingering sadness. Otherwise, any happiness you achieve will not be true or lasting.
A Consideration Of Mental Health
By :
Scotch Q. Ennis
Mental health is a phrase that gets tossed about a lot -- this is true especially during the few decades prior to this one -- but its full meaning often gets shorted. Casual mental health discussions usually focus on significant disorders: schizophrenic condition, bipolar condition, sociopathic tendencies, even Alzheimer's disease.

Julie Redstone

A Spiritual View of Depression: Living With the Unknown
By :
Julie Redstone
Everywhere in life, things are moving, relationships are changing, disappointments are happening, letting go is required, and the sense of the unknown exists as an everpresent companion to each step that we take.

A Spiritual View of Depression: The Hunger for Light
By :
Julie Redstone
The hunger of the soul for light, especially when the language of spirituality has not been acquired fully, can be both painful and confusing. A person can feel lost, misunderstood, out of place, with a sense of not belonging anywhere. In fact, without the spiritual underpinnings anchored in awareness, it can feel like one doesn’t even belong to oneself. This nameless thing that it is possible to long for involves hunger at the deepest level. It is a hunger for spiritual light.

By :
Julie Redstone
