[Kundalini Yoga] Re: Help-Voices & Depression, posted by Kim

 

This may or
may not apply to your situation, but 'hearing voices' can be a positive
sign. 

Most people
think they ARE their internal voices and never even notice their own
thoughts - so by default they are allowing those thoughts to create reality.
But a more
enlightened person can step back and hear/look at/observe their internal
voices.  
By
observing those voices more and more closely, we can gain very in-depth
knowledge of our own subconscious influences - this is very much a part
of Kundalini practice.

Also it is not
uncommon to go through 'dark night of the soul' while traveling this
path back to the True Self/Guru.  As the thoughts slowly start to be
dismantled through right observation, the old ego WILL create suffering in your life.  
Thoughts &
ego are two sides of the same coin, and your ego is not your friend. 
It will not release its control over you without a fight.

The way out of
this kind of depression is to press on with right actions - continue studying the thoughts,
continue yoga practice, prepare for Kundalini awakening, find ways
to create alert mental awareness in all activities.  The suffering does not belong to the true you, but you do have to cross the 'valley of the shadow of death' to conquer it.

Of course, increase all exercise and improve diet.  Even if we can only make a tiny improvement effort, and only on some days, this absolutely will bring benefit.  Do not stop in the dark.  Even in the darkest hour we can do a thirty-second yoga, mentally or physically.
