Since 1984, when it was first formally described and named, SAD stands for "Seasonal Affective Disorder" – and the acronym says it all.
SAD (also known as winter depression, or winter blues) is a mood disorder when people experience depression, sleepiness, and lack of energy at the same time each year, most commonly in winter. And for most of us in Northern hemisphere, this time is upon us, along with the daylight savings time.
Even though the exact biochemical mechanisms of SAD are still unclear, the condition is firmly linked to the lack of natural sunlight and, possibly, the subsequent decrease in the levels of serotonin ("the happy chemical").
Places with warm sunny winters get less SAD, but overall this disorder hits 6-7% of population (for example, only 1,4% in Florida yet 9,9% in Alaska and 20% in Ireland). That's millions of unhappy people and a serious burden on the economy.
And is there a viable solution? Not really.
Most sources will recommend you the following.
Take more Vitamin D (even though there was no link found between Vitamin D levels and depressive symptoms in clinical studies performed on elderly Chinese and British women, according to Wikipedia).
Employ Negative Air Ionization (always good, but only effective for SAD if the negative ions in the air are in sufficient quantity, which is difficult to achieve).
And if none of the above helps, simply… relocate to sunny shores!
So basically, no real solution (except for the Prozac and Zoloft, of course… I am being sarcastic).
Is there anything that we, Home Healers with Space Gadgets, can do? I believe, there is.
Of course, by all means, use as much natural light, fresh air, physical exercise, negative air ionization, sensibly selected vitamins and supplements as you can – it's all good.
In addition, however, your Healing FUSION devices can be of great help.
Get into a habit of doing the "Little Wings" at least once a day. It only takes a minute – and you can even learn to do it on yourself. This simple yet powerful technique has many benefits and, besides improving your mood, it quickly and efficiently resets your autonomic nervous system and takes you out of stress.
If you have a COSMODIC device and a pair of shingite mini-spheres, do The Brain Cross daily (HERE are the details).
Resonating Low Level LASER (for most of us, the QLaser).
While pretty much ANYTHING that you can do with the Resonating LLL is going to increase your bioenergy resources and, hence, help with SAD, there are a few things that can be particularly helpful.
Use the LLL on your Heart Chakra for a few cycles (Mode 2 for the QLaser) – until you get the "deep sigh". That is better to do in the evening when your biological battery is running low and your coherence level is compromised after a hard day. The Resonating LLL will help with both, substantially decreasing your chances to get SAD.
Ideally, you would want to do the full Chakra Balancing Protocol, but it takes some time. 21 minutes with the QLaser, to be exact, which should not be a problem if you are wrapping yourself in the SOLARIS. Using the LLL or SCENAR/COSMODIC while you are in the Blanket is more effective anyway.
Basically, the above recommendations for prevention and/or treatment of SAD are a short version of the Evening Ritual, as we recommended earlier (CLICK HERE for details), with slight modifications specific to SAD.
I hope, with these recommendations, you will all stay healthy, happy, and energetic regardless of the season.
There is no reason for Home Healers to get SAD. We know better, and we have the technologies.
Let's not forget to use them.
P.S. Yes, the techniques I mention above may take you investing 30-35 min of your time daily (unless you use only some of them; then it can be only 10-15 min max). You, however, will be very pleased with the ROI (return on investment). That I can guarantee.
What is the best protocol for serious deep depression as well as nerve pain? And are you saying that it is perfectly safe to use the Q1000 on our eyes for 30 seconds every other day? If someone accidentally used it more often than that on their eyes, could they go blind or could something horrible like that ever happen- just wondering, because when I first got my Q1000, somewhere in the back of my mind I THOUGHT I was told to never use it on my eyes?????
Yes, Cheryl, in our experience it is quite safe to use the resonating Q1000 on the eyes (but NOT the stimulating 660 or 808 Enhancers!), if you use it in the described manner. Power-wise the Q1000 is one of the weakest lasers on the market. Its effectiveness is due to the qualities other than the output power.
It is, however, a standard procedure: any manufacturer should caution clients against using any LLL on the eyes, just the same way as using any electrotherapy device with a pacemaker.
