A request

[Kahlil the Heretic]

I feel very shy asking this, as I am new here and haven't contributed much, and am not particularly religious or spiritual, at least I don't think...but I guess that by asking for help in the first place it means I have a certain amount of faith in prayer.

I have recently been going through a psychological condition called Depersonalization disorder. It's a terrible condition in which a person feels as though he is living in a dream...everything feels hazy and surreal, and people and places seem distant. Emotions are numbed and feelings are distant or non-existant. A person feels like an automaton, like they are living life from the other side of a dirty window pane; they feel out of touch with reality. As a result of this, I have been going through depression and terrible anxiety, and I can easily say that these last few months have been the most trying times in my life. I wish so badly that everything can feel normal again, the way it used to...I wonder if it's all in my head or if it is a real problem sometimes.

I was interested in looking into metaphysical healing techniques and alternative medicine, as doctors seem to be a little dumbfounded. Can someone please tell me about certain techniques that I can use to heal my mind, and maybe some books to read? I feel shy to ask, but could someone please pray for me to be healed, or for me to learn how to be healed? Thanks for reading.

Its a wonderful thing that you've come to a point where you can understand your illness. If you've seen the movie "Beautiful Mind" you'd understand what I mean.

In the movie you see a very smart man who's smart enough to separate his illness from reality. The fact that you understand that you have this illness means you can build methods of seeing above it.

I recommend mediative practice and mind focusing techniques. Meditation has many different ways it can be applied. What I think you should stay away from are the "free visualization methods" ones that condone "mind wandering" and look at energy visualizations and flow techniques (opening chakras) and breathe counting meditation.

Now one of the first phases of meditation is all about "quietening the chattering monkey". Basically its all about seeing past that continuous flow of perpetual thinking that ones mind undergoes on a day-to-day basis and this is what I mean by helping see above it. Your meditation focuses should be all about transcending that "chattering monkey" and going further in your mediative journey and give you that little bit more overall control over what your mind does.

All in all I hope that any of the above information is of help to you. If you'd like some meditation visualizations that you could try then send me a PM and I can go over it a bit more for you in detail.

God bless and loving energy sent :)

I can't give you much help because I don't know anything about the condition.
Sending energy to you! :hugz:

Thanks, everyone, this is such a supportive environment, folks here are so friendly. About meditation...

I've read a book by Dr. Al G. Manning that talks about meditation, and focusing energy on the chakras to balance out your body's energies. Lately I've been visualizing by brain being healed...I envision a ray of blue energy from my throat chakra burning away the impurities, and then a soothing red ray from my root healing and balancing everything out.

I've noticed that I'm much more relaxed afterwards, and I'm sure that if I keep this and possibly other methods up I'll be better in no time. Thanks for your prayers and support.
