I have been recovered from a long term depression, 5 years or so, i feel much alived and better now in my heart , and more stable, finding back some passion for life. But the hard part is, i m still unable to move my body more actively, when i try to do more housework like cleaning washing cooking, or try to go out to exercise, i still feel something blocked…I m wondering if there is any ways to move my body more and also open more motivation, thanks.
After today’s meditation i feel i have a deep hatred towards my own body, not sure why,
Please note that this is just a few thoughts, i have no experience working with people suffering from depression… but thought i would drop a few cents in
What type of meditation do you do? have you tried yoga nidra? ANd re: the movement stuff… what happens if you put yourself in a group class situation? housework, cleaning, washing, cooking… I think that would be hard for me to get moving as well! or you could organise to have a one-on-one yoga session with a teacher and just move through a gentle series to start… the beauty of yoga is if it is done correctly we can actually increase or energy by increasing the amount of “prana” oxygen, blood, nutrients etc in our system… Good thing about a class situation is you don’t have to motivate yourself every few minutes as you are there in the room for the whole 1.5 hours…
