How to Heal Depression Metaphysically

How to Heal Depression Metaphysically


Webster defines Depression as: “a condition of general emotional dejection and withdrawal; sadness greater and more prolonged than that warranted by any objective reason” “dullness or inactivity” And, Webster defines dejection as “depression or lowness of spirits”

If you’re depressed, you’re sad, you’re low in spirits – meaning you don’t feel very connected to Spirit, God. You don’t always have a reason for being sad, it’s just something that seems to pop up and doesn’t want to go away.

An opposite of sadness would be gladness – or gratitude. A hymn in the Christian Science Hymnal reads “Gratitude is riches, complaint is poverty.” Going by that guideline, how rich or poor are you? Don’t we inadvertently find ourselves complaining about things dozens of times a day?

But what if there seem to be a lot of things to complain about? Perhaps your kids really were being extra naughty today. Or, maybe your spouse wasn’t being respectful. Perhaps you are overwhelmed with bills to pay and little money to pay them with.

There are many things in our daily lives that can upset us and certainly cause depressed thoughts.

So how can we get out of the slump of depression? There’s the old saying “have an attitude of gratitude.” How many times does the Bible mention gratitude or thanks? Hundreds!!! We read over and over “praise God.” “Praise the Lord” “Give thanks unto our Lord”, etc. etc. The Bible stresses over and over in countless ways, the importance of gratitude.

How do we give gratitude in times of overwhelming sadness, when you don’t feel like you have much to be grateful for?

Here’s a sample gratitude list to help get you started:
Dear Lord,
Thank you, thank you for creating me in your image and likeness.
Thank you that, as your image and likeness, I automatically have an unlimited amount of every good quality imaginable.
Thank you that you gave me an unlimited supply of joy.
Thank you for giving me an unlimited supply of peace.
Thank you that as your image, I automatically have an infinite amount of wisdom.
Thank you that there is only one Mind, not many millions of minds at war with one another.
I am grateful, God, that you fill all space.
I am grateful that since you fill all space, and you are Love, then all space is automatically filled with Love.
Thank you God for talking to me every moment of every day.
Thank you for giving me the patience to be still and listen to you.
Thank you that my house is automatically filled with Love and harmony.
Thank you for showing me that supply isn’t just money.
Thank you for supplying me with joy, peace, intelligence, grace, love, wisdom, harmony, family, usefulness, etc.
Thank you for giving me an unlimited, infinite supply of each and every quality.

How’s that for a start? You can make your gratitude list as long as you like. Any time you’re starting to feel sad, depressed thoughts, take out that spiritual gratitude list and you’ll feel the spirit of Love fill your thought and the darkness automatically vanishes.

Finding out more about God and more about who you are as His image and likeness is a life-long journey. Without knowing your true relationship to God, it’s easy to feel lost and depressed.

Each time the overwhelming sadness starts to creep in out of no where, I have to take a “time-out” and focus on gratitude. The dark thoughts stay until I sit down and take time to be grateful for all the little things, and for all the spiritual qualities God gives me. Then, before I even finish my gratitude list, my thoughts are automatically replaced with light and Truth.

How exciting to be on this journey! Stand porter at your door of thought and as soon as you feel the dark thoughts creeping in, kick them out with a flood of gratitude and love. Welcome to mental freedom!
