What is Photon Energy, and what does it mean to you?

In recent months, I have experienced regular mild nausea. I've also woken in the early hours, and can't get back to sleep. And I am aware of how fast time is speeding up: where did January - March go? Now, I have an explanation for these things, that makes sense to me...

Margaret McElroy talks on her blog about Photon Energy, a band of magnetic energy that is approaching the Earth. Its effects will be felt most strongly around 2012 (we are not all going to 'die' then). The Photon Energy belt is giving us the opportunity to raise our vibration.

Some of the effects of the Photon Energy: climate extremes, depression, anger, violence, nausea, disrupted sleep patterns. Violent crime has risen by 7% this year in my local region. So it's worth considering Photon Energy as an explanation for changes around us.

Mild depression has a spiritual cure...

Recently I've worked hard to stay positive, but last week I felt flat. I didn't want to get out of bed, so I'd leap out and go for a walk, and then I was fine. Depression is heavy, dead energy. It's the exact opposite of the light, alive energy of which our souls are made.

If you are struggling with a down patch, before you reach for food or alcohol to numb the pain, try some action therapy. Go for a long daily walk; practice prayer and meditation; talk with a spiritual person. It will lift that dark, heavy energy, and you'll feel light and alive again.

(NB: The exception to this situation is if you are diagnosed clinically depressed, in which case you may need medication)

When feeling overwhelmed, take action

Last week it was loneliness, this week I am feeling overwhelmed by life. There is so much suffering around me - good people struggling through no fault of their own. I realize their experiences are opportunities for soul growth but it is still hard to watch. All I can do is send a card offering them practical support, and pray.

I feel overwhelmed by my own life too: gloomy weather, new puppy, sick child, long list of jobs. Yesterday that overwhelmed feeling bordered on depression so I forced myself to get moving and complete several unfinished tasks. Afterwards I felt refreshed; taking action always works for me. I wish you well with tackling your tasks....

Action is the secret to soul growth

I have just emerged from a desert time of self doubt. I was afraid to take action due to lack of confidence. It was, literally, a soul-destroying time. Now I am moving again, and even though I am not entirely sure of my direction, the movement feels great.

I've read that depression is caused by being out of touch with your life purpose. Depression is being stuck: no faith, no action, only darkness. Your soul is willing you on so have courage, stay strong. Aim for steady soul growth every day. You can do it!
