The Energy Doctor
is based on the groundbreaking ERA—Energy
Recovery Awareness — approach to health, relationships, work,
creativity, happiness and spiritual
development. Stephen and Lynda Kane have been using ERA methods since the
early '80s to help clients, worldwide, develop their awareness of the
energies—human and environmental—that underlie their quality of life and
consciousness.
Everyone sometimes experiences the dark, empty cloud of
depression.
Some experience it briefly, in a way that marks them
lightly and thus invisibly to most others—or even
to themselves.
Others are cut so deeply, the despair is paralysing
and, seemingly, impossible to end. Strangely, it's often those who are so
deeply marked by depression who don't recognize their own affliction. After
all, it's so much easier to believe the symptoms of our disease are just the
way "we are"—as if it were an arbitrary personality trait that
just happens to dull your eyes to the brightness of the world in which you may
find yourself so endlessly marking time.
You may be someone whose life is relatively sunny, or
who periodically falls into the blues, or whose outlook is always, more or
less bleak. But, aside from variations of width, depth and length, the mark
of depression is the same for all: a dark lesion that starts at the center of
your forehead and descends from there. The length of its descent determines
the nature of your mental, emotional and/or energetic pain:
dullness, boredom, apathy, despair, emptiness, hopelessness, helplessness,
negativity, uselessness, inadequacy, failure, fatigue. There are many more
words describing its many sensations, but they all spring from the same loss
of energy from your face, down the midline of your body, day after day.
The stability of the state of "being
depressed"—or bored, empty, tired and so on—reflects the penetration
of its causal lesion into your body. A shallow mark, like a scratch, mars its
owner's sense of well-being only slightly. A deep mark, like a lethal cut,
utterly destroys the quality of one or other areas of your life—even if
everything is rosy in other ways.
The nature of any form of depression is determined by the length
of its causal lesion:
- If it descends from your forehead to your mouth, you experience
negative feelings and thoughts that damage your relationships with those
you love and cause you to experience the world as a dark and difficult
place
- If the lesion descends to your solar plexus, you feel
overwhelmed, unable to cope, despairing, nothing works, no help in
sight—and, so you believe, nothing can help
- If it descends to your navel, you are exhausted, bored,
apathetic, "what's the point of doing anything anyway?"
- If it descends to your pelvis, the loss of energy causes you to
be driven by sexual imperatives, disconnected from your feelings, seeking
happiness in sensation, always looking for love in between feeling used,
abused, let down, betrayed and, ultimately, rejected. Maybe no-one can be
good enough for you...
There are plenty of other variants on the theme of depression but all that
counts, in the end, is how much—or how little—its underlying mark on the
energy of your body, and thus your life, is reduced. This is what all the
theories, formulae, medicines and methods of all sorts for treating
depression, boil down to.
