Depression
This means that we need to observe and pay attention to six axioms or truths of life:
We are NOT our thinking, our desires, our emotions, the labels that we atribute to ourselves or those attributed by others or our physical bodies, BUT we exist within those aspects that make up our being.
Whatever we engage through our 6 senses, which includes what we think about, what we look at or read, what we eat and drink, what we say, what we wear and touch / feel, what we listen to and what we smell, we become filled with its nature.
If we are unable to express who we truly are in how we live our lives, illness will result.
If we become consumed or overwhelmed by the changes that go on around us, we will suffer stress and if it becomes chronic we will experience trauma.
When we “create space” for each of the activities we engage and the transitions between those activities, we are less likely to “become” those activities. This will allow us to operate from a greater sense of peace and well-being. By identifying the ways we live that are not in accordance with who we truly are we are able to create room for activities that nourish and develop our being.
It is the small adjustments that we make in life that create the greatest changes.
These are things that practising Tai Chi will teach us in a fun and engaging way.
Acupuncture treatment (BOOK NOW) will help to remove the obstructions that cause us to feel stagnant and blocked.
“All disease is rooted in Spirit ”
Attempting to do anything whilst being depressed can be a real uphill battle, so the idea of coming for treatment may be even too much to handle, but if you’re reading this then it probably means that you’ve reached the point where enough is enough.
Throughout my twenty one years of practice I have seen and treated all manner of people suffering from depression.
One of the beautiful things about Chinese Medicine is its ability to diagnose the type of depression you have and to work steadily to clear it.

Understanding Depression: Six Key Insights for Recovery
When we find ourselves battling depression, recovery requires a deep understanding of the six fundamental truths of life:
Identity Beyond Labels: We are not defined by our thoughts, desires, emotions, the labels we assign to ourselves, those given by others, or even our physical bodies. We exist within and beyond these elements that compose our being.
Influence of Sensory Engagement: Our six senses—including our thoughts, what we observe, consume, express, touch, hear, and smell—profoundly shape us. We absorb the essence of our engagements, which then influence our state of being.
Expression of True Self: Illness may arise when there's a disconnect between our true selves and how we live our lives. Authentic self-expression is crucial for health.
Impact of External Changes: Overwhelming changes in our environment can lead to stress, and if persistent, may cause trauma. It's essential to manage these influences effectively.
Creating Space for Well-being: By deliberately creating space in our daily activities and transitions, we prevent these actions from defining us. This practice fosters a greater sense of peace and well-being, allowing us to make lifestyle choices that align more closely with our true nature.
Power of Small Adjustments: Often, it's the minor adjustments in our lifestyle that lead to the most significant transformations in our health and happiness.
Enhance Your Journey with Acupuncture: Consider acupuncture treatment to remove blockages that cause feelings of stagnation and obstruction. Book your session now to start your path to recovery.
Engage with Tai Chi: Practising Tai Chi offers a fun and engaging way to learn these principles, helping you to find balance and tranquility in your life.
This approach not only provides a pathway to overcoming depression but also enriches your overall well-being, making every day more aligned with who you truly are.
