On the journey back to Self, it becomes very important to allow yourself to feel everything, even if it’s unpleasant or painful. Therefore, certain in-person events and Core Material online classes are not recommended for those who have taken mood or mind-altering medications within the past 18 months.
As angel beings living on Earth, humans naturally experience cycles of ebb and flow, especially within our own energy and emotions. In awakening, these cycles become more pronounced and difficult to deal with. However, depression can result from the suppression of this natural movement.
Depression also can be one of the first symptoms of a growing awareness that this 3D reality is unnatural and very limiting to our true essence. Awakening causes “cracks” in our beliefs and perceptions of this reality, which can initially feel like something is going wrong inside.
Any medications (such as anti-depressants, SSRI’s and others) that attempt to smooth over these symptoms and reinforce this reality are not recommended. They may help you feel better at first, but ultimately, they block the natural flow and integration of imbalanced or wounded parts of self. As deeper issues come to the surface, depression and anxiety can significantly worsen because of the internal discord.
Uncomfortable as they are, these inner movements build the momentum to finally escape old patterns and allow a more expanded consciousness. Suppressing difficult emotions with medications only brings imbalance and prolongs the process.
Keahak, Aspectology, the Sexual Energies School, and other core workshops serve to facilitate one’s awakening and expansion. They require you to be willing and able to fully experience all emotional states as they occur, because that allows the resolution. Trying to go through such deep experiences while under a “blanket” of suppression can cause even greater imbalance.
While it can be difficult to feel the depths of darkness and trauma, going into and through these inner layers is the only way to go beyond them. This is why it is critically important that one is off any psychoactive medications for at least 18 months before participating in certain Core classes or in-person events:
- Keahak
- Aspectology
- Threshold
- Kasama
- Master’s Life 10 – Way Out
- In-person events at Villa Ahmyo
