Achieving Your Health, Wealth & Happiness By 10-Minutes Daily Thoughtless Awareness. Combating Depression & Anxiety. Why Happiness is in Your Belly (Laughing Buddha). Dear Friend, Depression is big business. When I worked in Big Pharma, millions of dollars of research money was being poured into SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) or antidepressants. It's easy to see why. According to a World Health Organisation(WHO) 2017 report, 322 million people world-wide were living with depression. This figure has risen significantly since the pandemic. More patients means more antidepressant prescriptions. It's just as well that there are other ways, apart from medication, of combating depression (and anxiety). These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal psychotherapy.  But recently there's started to be a shift in the understanding of what causes depression and therefore how better to treat it. Depression, according to Joanna Moncrieff, a professor at UCL, is not actually due to a deficiency of the  'happy hormone', serotonin. So antidepressants are not the answer. Plus they come with undesirable side-effects such as addiction. Instead, there's now evidence that the gut microbiome (good bacteria that helps to breakdown organic waste) can trigger depression. To keep your gut bacteria happy and stave off depression may be about getting the right kind of fibre in your diet. Science sometimes takes a detour before arriving at was is already known in yoga. There's a reason why the laughing buddha is depicted with a generous belly. This is why your Nabhi chakra is key to your happiness and wellbeing. More below. Also below: Book your free tickets for a dance concert; and, manifesting on your chakras with affirmations.

Here's an advantage you have. When your kundalini rises, she enlightens your 'vani' (spoken words). The effect of this is that what you say, even when not on purpose, tends to come true. This means that your use of affirmations has a special potency (mantra). You can test this on your chakras with this short meditation... Why Happiness is in Your Belly (Nabhi Chakra). You've got two brains. the second one is in your gut. The two are connected via the vagus nerve, which is why what's happening in your tummy can influence your mood amongst other things. This is why when you meditate daily, you should spend a bit of time 'navel gazing' ie. paying attention to your Nabhi chakra. Here's what you get from that..

Quote of the Week   " This Nabhi chakra [is affected] when we take to alcohol or drugs and, even I’ve seen certain medicines can spoil this. Then you get a problem with the other things like digestion, you get constipation, all sorts of things take place, by which you develop gas troubles and other troubles and then your heart troubles and it goes on one after another. I do not say that it’s only alcohol that will cause. There are other causes also, but alcohol can never be helpful, in giving you good health.  Because health is not only physical health. It’s also mental health. People think that physical health is the end of everything, is absolutely wrong because we are not only the physical being. We are also the mental being and the emotional being." March 27th 1981, Maccabean Hall, Sydney (Australia). Which chakra do skin problems come from? In Reply: Skin issues come from the liver and the liver is looked after by your right Swadisthana chakra. Another symptom of a right Swadisthana catch is over-thinking. So all the sahaj treatments for over-thinking, such as the use of an ice-pack on the liver as well as a cold-water footspa, can benefit your skin health  as well. Regularly drinking vibrated water can flush out the liver and also help with the appearance of your skin.
