Arden says:
“I created For DEPRESSION to help unblock
the areas of physical blockage mentioned above,
promoting greater energetic and emotional
movement in the individual.
The music begins with deep tones, male voices
that begin to activate the energy below the
feet. Throughout the 25 minutes the music
slowly moves up the body, changing from male
to female voices and wind instruments, stopping
first at the level of the knees, diaphragm
and shoulders to continue the activation and
unblocking of the energy in these areas.
The last 4-5 minutes of the music end with
strings and female voices which continue to
move up the body to the head and above, helping
to create an unbroken, integrated line of
movement.
Many people find initially that their feelings
of depression are heightened when they begin
to listen, as the male voices begin to bring
them in deeper contact with themselves. If
the depression is severe, it is helpful to
use this music either in a therapeutic situation
or with a friend to help process these feelings.
If the feelings are too intense initially,
simply listen less often for shorter periods.
Try physical activity after each session to
integrate whatever movement was made.
This music is also excellent for boosting
creativity as the creative energy also becomes
trapped in the physical areas mentioned above
even though depression or apathy is not high
enough to prevent action.” |

Emotions: For Depression |

|
25 mins / cassette
The music is the same on Side A and
B on the music cassette
Also available in CD (Track 5 on INTUITION) |
|
Description:
|
|
This music is focused at the
complex emotional structure associated
with lack of energy and apathy
for life.
In our early development we pass
through various phases. When each
phase is completed, we can easily
move onto the next, integrating
the last with the present one.
When blockages occur in this process,
they often appear in later life
in the form of mental, emotional
or physical problems.
In the case of depression, an
unresolved oral phase of development
associated with emotional nurturing
and receiving food, is often present.
In the body, this is reflected
in areas of tension in the knees,
diaphragm, shoulders and neck.

Spontaneous movement is quite beneficial
to help unblock the body’s energy
associated with depression.
Posture: Standing.
Put the music on. Listen for a moment
and then allow your body to make
spontaneous movement that comes
from the activation of the sound.
Perhaps it’s a rotation of your
ankles, or an overall swaying.
You can either consciously follow
the music as it moves up your body
and make the movements, or immerse
yourself in the sound and allow
the movements to come.
Continue in this way until your
body is quiet or until the music
ends. Take as much time as you need
to return to your daily routine.

Substance
abuse
|
Scientists have learned that
the brain makes its own pleasure-producing
chemicals, called endorphins
and enkephalins. These chemicals
lie at the surface of certain
specialized nerve cells, or
neurons, in the brain and fit
into the neurons like keys into
keyholes.
Substances such as nicotine,
narcotics, etc. contain chemicals
that also fit into these keyholes,
which is why these substances
produce feelings of pleasure.
As a result of relying on increasing
doses of the substance however,
the brain stops the production
of its own endorphins and enkephalins.
Thus these substances actually
change the body chemistry in
such a way that normal functioning
becomes impossible unless the
substance is present.
