Speaker 1: Hey, besties, and welcome back to this Wednesday's episode of
Your Manifesting Bestie podcast. I'm your host, Flora, and we
are diving into all things mindset and manifestation like we
always do. You know, the drill today's episode is going
to be really helpful for everybody on a grand scale.
Something that gets brought up very often in manifestation is
mental health and how can I proceed with positive thinking,
with feeling good? How can I manifest and live in
the end state of my desires if I'm an individual
who experiences a lot of sadness or even experiencing depression,
chronic depression or random spurts of depression or dealing with
a lot of anxiety that creates depression. So I want
to provide some clarity on the spiritual meaning of depression
and how we can work through this, how we can
not accept it to be our reality and work our
way through it so that we don't have to experience
those very common feelings of really like sadness and loneliness.
And because I've been through a lot of that as well,
and it'll come randomly, and now I'm noticing the pattern
of why it comes, how it comes and how I'm
able to work my way through it. And if I
make the conscious choice to not work my way through it,
then it gets worse, and then it becomes debilitating. And
if you have experienced these things, you're not alone. It's
very common. I hear it all the time when like, oh,
I'm depressed. My job makes me depressed, my family makes
me depressed. My parents made me depressed right past trauma
and abuse. When I think of it, I get depressed.
So this thing of depression, it really comes up. And
then we kind of label ourselves with it. We take
on the identity of depression, and then it lingers through
our whole life because we choose to identify with it,
We choose to accept it and wear it like it's
an adjective that describes who we are. We are a
depressed individual. And I want to stop that, Like I
want you to get to a place where depression is
not a common factor in your reality. Sure, you might
experience sadness and slow days and low feeling moments, as
we all do, because there's always contrast in the universe.
But when I heard the meaning spiritually behind depression, and
I realize what we can do to get out of it.
I feel like this is going to be so helpful
for a lot of people on their manifestation journey because
a big part of manifesting and being in the state
of receiving your desires is you feeling good. It doesn't
mean you have to be happy twenty four to seven.
It doesn't mean that you need to be celebrating things
twenty four seven. It doesn't mean that you need to
be kind and sweet and cheerful and clapping your hands
twenty four seven. It's not that, it's just it's better
to feel neutral. It's better to feel calm than it
is to feel depressed. Right, So what is depression When
we think of it as the terminology of the word depressed,
think of it broken down and reconstructed depressed right deep rest.
We are creative individuals. We are individuals who need to
be in motion. That's what the human body is designed for.
It's for movement and it's for creation. So when a
person experiences sadness, their body kind of makes them shut down.
Or maybe it might be their mind or their body
connected where they have low energy, but they shut down
and then they consciously select like maybe sitting on the
couch all day long, and they consciously select not cleaning
up their room and staying in bed three hours later
than they should when they wake up, and this becomes
a snowball effect of deep rest. Too much rest, prolonged
resting is not what our body, our physiology was designed for, right.
It's meant to be in motion and in creation. We
are very, very creative beings. We're very powerful. We are
like little miniature gods on earth because the God force
lives within us and it wants to create and express
itself through us. So imagine the almighty powerful God is
just like in this slump on the couch all day
and then it's like, ah, God's like, I'm sad, and
it's like, well, yeah, duh. You're the almighty powerful God.
You're supposed to be creating life. You're supposed to be
creating magic and moving mountains and you know, putting your
ideas out there. That's what God does. God created the
universe right with all that creative power. Guess what you
have all that creative power within you, and when you
get sad, you make this conscious choice of like rotting
in bed all day, okay, And then when we do
that for a prolonged period, it turns into depression because
the body that is no longer in movement and no
longer in creation, it is in a state of deep rest.
Then you energetically become depressed. Okay, so deep rest is depression.
So this is something energetically we can work through now
that we're aware of it, and something I've noticed within myself.
Let's say I have a bad work day or a
bad wark week, or I'm having issues in my relationship
or in my friendships, or I just had a fight
with my parents and I feel shitty about it. I
don't want to do anything. I'm like, I just want
to stand still and rot and bed and hide. I
want to hide from the world. I don't want to
show up. I don't want to be creative. I don't
want to use my mind for good. I don't want
to use my creati abilities for good. I don't want
to do shit. I want everyone to leave me alone.
I want to hide. Okay, so that moment, it's okay,
give let me give myself that couple of hours to
rest and relax. But after that, I need to consciously
be aware that if I prolong that deep rest, I
will it will turn into depression. My body will feel
like a fucking sloth and it's gonna be like neah,
I never, I don't want to move. I don't I
just don't want to get up anymore. And then this
is how depression can develop, and then it becomes a
chronic illness. Okay, because the body is meant to create
and it is meant to move, because we're, like these
super powerful beings were not meant to just be still.
Stillness is great for when we meditate. Stillness is great
for when we sleep at night and our body needs
to recover. Stillness is great for the mind in small
periods of time. But if I have a habit of
rotting in bed for a whole week, guess what I
am now chronically depressed. I now have a problem, okay,
and I consciously am aware that it's happening, and I'm
doing it to myself. So once we have this like
self awareness of how these things are happening, we can
stop it. We can turn it around, and then we
can become better manifestors and better creators because we're not
longer in this deep rest state, because that's not who
we are meant to be. That's not how God designed us.
We are these magical beings, and like we need to
put our minds into creation. So I realize, I'm like, Okay, Well,
when am I my happiest? Like when depression is not
even a thought, it's not an occurrence, There's no sadness
within me, there's no feeling of tiredness in my body, nothing,
When am I my happiest? And I realize it's when
I'm in a state of creation. When I'm creating my content,
when I'm creating my podcast, when I'm creating new modules
in my programs, when I'm creating stories on Instagram for
people to watch and react to and speak to me through.
When I'm in this active creation, when I'm in my
kitchen I'm creating a new meal. It gets me excited.
Even when I'm like rearranging the furniture in my new house,
I'm creating a new energy. I'm in creation mode. I
get so excited. I get excited to go to home
goods and look at beautiful pots and like decorations and
candles of how I can create a new energy in
my house. All these things of creation makes me so happy.
When there's not even a smidgeon of sad thoughts in
my brain. And then I was like, when am I
my saddest? When do I feel the depression coming? When
I am in zero creation, when I am not creating anything.
So I could be watching Netflix for too long, I
could be scrolling on TikTok for too long. I could
be you know, doing mind numbing things for way too long.
And now this sad thoughts absorb me, and now the
sad feelings absorb me. There they take over my being.
And then I feel like a fucking slot, like a turtle,
like I can't get up, I don't want to move,
I can't. I don't know how to shake it off.
I'm depressed. I'm in deep rest for too long, for
a prolonged period of time. Because my natural state is creation.
My natural state of well being is to do things,
to create things, to put things together, to meet people,
to speak to put to use my voice to to
you know, anything, literally the act of creation. This is
why artists. Right when when someone who is an artist,
maybe they create paintings, maybe they make music, whatever their
style of art is, is when they're their happiest when
they're creating their art. Okay, you might not be a
musician type of artist. You might not be an artist
that creates like huge sculptures or paintings or anything, but
you in its In a sense, you're an artist. Whatever
your passion and your creativity is is your form of art.
It is your form of creative expression. And the more
that you can be in this state of creative expression,
whatever that is, whatever gets you excited and gets you
feeling electric and gets you feeling turned the fuck on
full body has to turned on that electricity moving through
your body because you're in the act of creation. When
you're in this act of creation, there's no space for
the sadness to creep in. There's no space for depression
to take over you and pull you back down. When
I think of depression in my mind, to me, that's
like the devil in my brain. That's what I think
of as like the worst possible state for me to
be in. And if I realize that, if I let
that get a hold of me, just gets worse and worse.
Right Like I'm getting dragged into the pits of hell
through sadness, through stillness, through deep rest. Then I need
to figure out how to get into the act of
creation more a little bit more that day, right, whatever
that creation. Maybe maybe it's cleaning out my closet. Maybe
it's cleaning my bath room finally. Maybe it's putting away
all the laundry in my room. Maybe it's taking a
drive and going to the beach and then writing in
my journal where I'm inspired. Maybe it is I don't know,
running across my house, singing on the top of my
lungs of all the things I'm grateful for. Maybe it's
picking up my phone and creating beautiful content or inspirational
content for people who follow me to get inspired as well.
And when I see their reactions and the likes and
the comments, role and I get so happy. I get
even more inspired. Anything I can create makes me happy.
It makes me feel joy, It makes me feel good,
and it leaves no space, no room for error for depressed. Okay,
my depression is gone. It has cleared itself because now
my body is in motion. Energy likes to be in motion. Right,
Still energy is not great. Think of still water. Water
goes bad. Right anytime something has been sitting there for
way too long and stillness it doesn't have a chance
to move, it is bad. We don't want to go bad. Right.
Our version of going bad and kind of like dwindling
down into this path of darkness and sadness is when
we rest for too and we're too still. We're too
inclined to rot on the couch all day and just
too much television and too much scrolling. Let's put that
down for a little bit. There's a time and a
place for that. I'm not saying take those things away,
but limit them. Okay. If you're a person who is
chronically depressed or experiences a lot of sadness, you are
too still. Your body needs some movement, some motion, some
creative energy, some fulfillment, some fun self expression. So find
out what that is for you. Ask yourself, when am
I my happiest? Like, what am I doing when I'm
really really happy? When you're in that happy state, let
me fucking tell you something. That is when you manifest quick.
Because if we think of the emotion scale, and I've
showed this on in my programs, the emotional scale and
how it works, and I also posted all over my
social media and I have like small segmented videos that
explain it. Right. So the emotional scale at the very
bottom is things like resentment and fear, and anger and jealousy.
That those are those very slow moving energies. So we
feel sad right when we those are very low vibrational
feeling states. And at the very top of the emotional scale,
everything moves very fast, like the God frequency, which is
authenticity and self expression and love and appreciation and gratitude.
When a person is dominantly living in that God frequency
the way that you are meant to live dominantly. Right,
we can't be perfect all the time, but dominantly the
majority of the time we should be feeling good. It's
because we are being our most authentic self and following
our creative expression. So when that fast paced energy, that
fast frequency kind of takes over our body, we're feeling good,
We're smiling. We're in the zone, right, it's in the
zone of well being. You are a magician when you're
in that zone. That's like the green zone, Okay, That
is when everything is moving at lightning speed for you.
That is when your molecules are moving faster, your energy
is vibrating higher, and if you start to have really
positive thoughts when you're in that creative expressive state of yours,
when you're following your passions, your hobbies or whatever. That
is when manifestations come in fast. I see it happen
for me when I'm creating so many things, and I'm
so boggled down with my creation and I'm so excited.
I'm so this, I'm so that things move so much
quicker for me, so much quicker. My manifestation's coming quicker,
my goals manifest faster. People are calling me more, to
see me, to hang out, to be kind to me,
all these things. Like it's like the world reflects back
so much more joy and positivity into my reality, and
the desires that I've had locked away in a little
basement that I haven't been able to manifest for a
year or two start flowing in naturally. They just start
to come in. And then I'm looking better and I'm
feeling better, and I have a glow in my skin,
and like those little heavy set wrinkles around my eyes
tend to clear up, and I'm like, WHOA, I look
different in the mirror. And all these things are happening
because I'm living in that God frequency. I'm not living
in my deep rest of no expression and stagnation and stillness.
You see the difference here, So if you want to
get better at manifesting, right, you want to have those
desires really coming in. But you're a sad individual. You're sad,
you're depressed, you are not happy with yourself. The reason
you are in that state, very likely outside of like
traumas and things like that that may have happened to you,
is because you're not in creative expression. You are simply
not in creation mode. You're more in stagnation mode, right,
just being stagnant, just being still, and you kind of
feel so low energy because you're not moving. So body
in motion becomes more energetic. And that's the next thing
that I actually wanted to tap into. Let's say you're like, well,
I don't know really what my creative expression is just yet,
or I have so many things that I like, or
I actually I'm not in the mood for anything. I'm
just that depressed, Like I do want to hide from
the world. I don't want to be seen, I don't
want to create, I don't want to speak. Like that's
how low I'm feeling. The first step to that, to
getting out of that, is putting your body back in motion.
And that sounds like such an easy thing to do,
but sometimes it's hard. It's hard to get out of bed.
It's hard to Some people have a hard time brushing
their teeth and showering. That's how depressed they are. Some
people will leave their laundry in the room for a
whole month. That's how depressed are They can't put it away.
They cannot get themselves to put it away. Okay, so
there's a few things we can do to start creating
movement in the body outside of like, I don't know,
taking a fucking CrossFit class, which I don't recommend if
you are not feeling good, because then you're gonna be
so sore for the next week that you're like, fuck exercise,
I'm never going back there again. What a horrible idea. Okay,
so we're not doing that, But we want to put
the body in motion. And how can we do that
that actually feels good for me? It's taking walks. I
love my hot girl walk. Not only does it clear
my mind, not only does it regulate my nervous system.
Not only does it get my lymphatic system moving. Not
only do I get more oxygen in my lungs and
straight to my brain, which makes me a happier person.
But when I'm on these long, hot girl walks outdoors,
and I'm showing gratitude for nature. I'm feeling like myself.
I have all these scenarios in my mind that start
to play out, these creative scenarios, these good feeling thoughts,
and then I get new ideas and new downloads. Right,
that's the ether that's coming from the ether, my higher self.
As I'm feeling better, I listen to these downloads coming in.
These are new ideas, new perspectives, new manifestations. Right, So
going for a walk can be the first thing to
put yourself in motion. Now, some people are like, well,
I don't want to go for a walk. I'm not
ready for that yet. No problem. You can get a rebounder.
I have one in my office. A rebounder is like
a miniature trampoline. It's a small, one person like bouncing
thingy a trampoline thing, and a rebounder is known if
you can bounce on it for ten minutes. Not only
is it great for your lymphatic system, your blood flow,
and your brain and your hormones if you do it
first thing in the morning, but it elevates your energetic frequency.
You are no longer in depressed. You're in high vibrational
movement just by bouncing in place on that little miniature trampoline.
What a great idea. You can get one on Amazon.
I think it's like fifty bucks. Maybe cheaper. You can
get one at Walmart like they have them in so
many places. Just get a rebounder and make a commitment
to yourself that you know what. I know. I've been depressed,
I've been feeling low. I want to feel better. Let
me commit to just ten minutes a day on this thing,
and let me see how I feel two weeks down
the line. You're gonna feel so different. You're gonna be
so energetic, so much happier. Good feeling mood, good feeling attitude,
good vibes all across the board. What happens when we're
in that good feeling state, boom manifestations can come in quicker.
We drop our resistance, we drop our self loathing, our sadness,
our deep rest is gone. Okay, we're not being a
fucking couch potato. We're getting up and we're doing something. Okay,
So there's walking, there's getting on a rebounder. Another thing
that I really like. And again, this is whatever is
meant for your budget, you don't have to do all
these things. But I got what is it called a
vibration plate. I butt it on TikTok shop. You guys
can literally get them anywhere, Amazon, whatever, and I got
mine for under one hundred bucks. The vibration plate does
a very similar thing as the rebounder, and you don't
have to bounce. You just stand on it and the
plate starts to vibrate and elevate your frequency. Again, it
moves your lymphatic system. It drains out a lot of
stagnant energy from the body after so it's really good
to use. And again that puts me in such a
feeling of well being, a better feeling state. Emotionally, I
feel good. Energetically I feel better. I have more like
inspiration to do things right, more motivation, more energy to
do things, which gets me out of my deep rest state. Okay,
so those are three options that are easy that a
very sedentary person can do. Okay, So I'm not telling
you to go run, I'm not telling you to do
jumping jacks. I'm not asking you to do a handstand
and walk on your hands across your living room. Just
do these things to get the body in motion again
to start feeling better again, because the body is meant
to move, and until we get the body into a
good place where we actually enjoy daily movement, it's a
little bit difficult. So go on that walk, jump on
that rebounder, vibrate on that damn vibration plate. Do whatever
you need to do, but get your body out of
a state of deep rest. If you want to start
feeling better, or if you don't know why you're feeling
so low, these things are going to help you. Okay,
Now if we want to get more advanced, right and
now we're like, okay, we are a feeling better, we
want to take it to that next level. I see
people who do certain type of workouts and they are glowing. Okay,
maybe they're going to a pilates class, maybe they're taking
hot yoga. Maybe maybe they're doing a little bit of
weight training or circuit training. Maybe they're doing tai chi,
which gets the chi, the energy and the body moving.
So once you're feeling better and you're no longer like
compelled to be in a stagnant, deep rest couch potato state,
you can then take it up a notch, which really
puts your body into a stronger place energetically, emotionally, everything,
and then you're endorphins start to boost and the serotonin
in your brain starts to come back. Right. You start
to feel better the more that you move the body,
and you're gonna notice when you're like, okay, I'm not
trying to like become a body builder here, but it
does feel good to move. My depression is lessening. It's
it's leaving my body the more that I'm in motion. Okay,
So find something down the line that you enjoy doing.
Don't take work classes or something like that you know
you're gonna hate. Do something that looks fun. Maybe it's
a dance class, a zoomba class, maybe you want to
take a pole dancing class to I don't know that
shit looks so fun to me. It looks hard, but
it looks fun. So do anything that looks exciting, looks fun.
And what this is actually going to do, not only
are you going to be in better shape mentally, physically,
and emotionally, because now you're moving your body on a
daily basis with things that get you excited, things that
feel good for you naturally, but your energy is now
consistently in motion, Those stagnation spells are gone. The deep
rest is gone, so the depression starts to leave, and
then what starts to happen to you on a creation level,
on a creative basis, is your creativity juice to start
to flow again because your energy is back in motion.
So then you can start finding those creative outlets that
you do enjoy that are super authentic to you, whether
it is creating art or writing, or journaling or making
content or taking photos or web designing, whatever, whatever your
creative things are that you enjoy, and the more that
you do them, the less chance you ever have again
of falling back into depression. And the more that you
do those things, you're following what's called the law of authenticity.
You're following your most authentic path, which is the least
resistant path for you to live on. What happens when
we have less resistance, we manifest quicker, Our desires come
in faster. The resistance is leaving our body. Okay, these
are very important things to know if I want to
be a great manifestor if I'm tired of living the
same day, the same life over and over and I
want new things and I want to become a happier individual,
a person with more energy, more creativity. This is what
I need to do. I must follow my path of authenticity,
the path of least resistance. This is what's going to
turn me into a miracle magnet. But it's hard for
me to get there just by starting off in depression. Okay,
and I understand that it's hard to make that giant leap.
That's how we want to start creating small burst of
movement daily to get your body back in motion and
off the couch and out of bed. Okay. And from
that the creativity will start to flow again because now
energy is back in motion. You are now being a
creative being again. You're doing things, which is what you're
meant to do when you're awake, do things, get things done, create,
express right, have fun, laugh, sing, whatever you need to do.
These are all things that the body is meant for.
Stagnation is not what the body's meant for. That's where
an illness can start to kick in too. And that
was the other thing I wanted to talk about, is
depression and anxiety and all these like emotional problems and
mental problems that people experience eventually turn into sickness and illness, okay.
You will then start to have other symptoms in the
body osteoporosis, inflammation, pcos, thyroid issues, your hair starts to
fall out, just so many freaking problems that the body
starts to experience, which starts from the emotional self. So
the emotional health or the emotional state of a person
is always reflected in their physical health. So if a
person is not doing well physically, it's a reflection of
their emotional well being because the physical body is nothing
more than an extension of the emotion. Okay, So this
is really important to know. If you want to stay
healthy in the body, it has to start energetically, which
is the mind and the emotions and the soul. Right,
So all these things are really important for you to
become a better individual all across the board, not just
better at manifesting, not just happier, but physically feeling better,
looking better, okay, and avoiding illness. They tell us that
as we age, we're supposed to be getting stick. Fuck that.
Fuck that, who says, who you think God made me
that way to just become ill? As I age know,
aging is a gift. Aging is a precious thing that
some people unfortunately don't get to experience. They don't get
to experience the process of aging. Okay, it doesn't mean
you get sick. It doesn't mean you're supposed to have
illness and you're supposed to be bedridden. That's bs. Okay.
They're lying to you. They're lying to you, and they're
putting a false perception in your mind for you to
accept all those commercials you see that you come on, oh,
you should take this pill, take that pill, take this.
But they're essentially what they're doing with all these commercials
is they're putting into people's healthy minds, into their subconscious
that illness is waiting for you. It's coming. Oh, you're
almost at bad age. Just wait, just wait on it.
You're gonna have to go see a doctor. You're gonna
have to go get the pharmaceuticals. You're gonna be a
pill popper. You just wait. Okay. So they put this
fallacy in your mind, and our subconscious has seen it
so many damn times on commercials and advertisers that it
starts to believe it. It starts to believe that my
path to aging is illness. I want you to reverse
that idea. If I can take care of myself emotionally
and physically. Illness is foreign to me. It's an unknown topic.
I do not accept that in my reality, and you
shouldn't have to either, Okay. So I want us to
just become better all around, because as depression starts and
it kicks in, man, it's hard to get out of it.
I've seen how hard it is for people around me
to get out of it. I've seen how hard it
is for myself and my bouts of depression. We're so
minimal compared to what I've seen in other people, and
still it's so damn hard to get out of it.
So what do we do. We make a commitment to
be in motion. Okay, that's when our hormones work. Well,
that's when our brains secrete serotonin. Okay, that's when the
endorphins kick in, and then our creativity juices start to flow,
and then self expression and creativity start to kick in,
and then we follow our most authentic path and then
we manifest quicker. We manifest better, our desires start to
flow in, our body feels better, our energy is high.
We're just happier individuals no matter where we are in
the world. Okay, So please don't take this teaching lightly,
especially if you know yourself, especially if you're like, yeah,
I do go through those bursts of sadness for prolonged
periods of time. And maybe I don't call it depression,
but I know I feel horrible. I know I feel low.
I know it's hard for me to even take a
shower at the end of the day because I just
don't have the energy. I can't even keep my kitchen
clean because I just don't have the energy. I feel
so low, I feel so horrible about myself. If you
know yourself to be that way, please do what we
talked about in this podcast. Do it slowly, do it
step by step. I promise you. I can guarantee you
it does get better. But we need to be the
ones willing to commit to ourselves to make it better. Okay,
We're not going to rely on anybody outside of us
to come save us. We have to be our own savior.
And it's okay. If you have been feeling low, it's okay.
If you have been diagnosed with chronic depression, doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter. The body is always trying to find equilibrium,
it's always trying to find the state of well Being
twenty four to seven. That's what the body is designed for.
So is your mind. So is everything. Okay, everything is
trying to find well being. So if you know yourself
and you know that you experience sadness or depression, please
follow these teachings. I want you to become a better person,
a happier person, a magician, a master manifestor a person
who loves themselves and loves their reality and loves the
world with their whole heart. That's what I want for you,
but it's so hard to get there when you are
in deep rest. It's not what the body is designed for.
It's not what God created you for. You are so
much better than that. Thank you guys so much for
tuning into this week's episode of Your Manifesting Bestie podcast,
and we will be back again next Wednesday with a
brand new episode.
