This video is so necessary for anyone who suffers from depression to any degree. Depression has been a part of my adult life since my early 20’s. Before Mother, my solution was to self destruct. That wasn’t working out so well. When Mother came into my life She made it very clear that if I wanted to get out from under the oppressive energy of depression it would require effort on my part, sometimes lots of effort. At the time I wasn’t happy to hear that, I was hoping for a little wand waving action and presto, I’d never be depressed again.
In this teaching Mother offers some of the many ways to help relieve depression that I’ve used and integrated into my life. A huge aspect of Mother’s love for me is Her constant reminder that I don’t have to be anyone other than who I am in any given moment. Just relieving myself of the pressure to be cured, or fixed already, has gone a long way towards my healing. Now when I feel depression creeping in, I don’t feel shame anymore, just a recognition of actions that need to be taken and support that needs to be received. And my depression is so much smaller and infrequent than it’s ever been. The deeper I go into love, the less I need my depression.
I hope this sheds some light on the darkness that comes with depression. You are so amazing! Believe it!

Hi Danielle,
When you shared that depression was a problem with you, it helped me to take another step forward. I just realized that depression is a big problem within me. I am shocked that I didn’t realize it sooner. Thank you for reminding me that I am not alone. I admire you so much. Love, Diane.
I’m so glad I could help with your Aha moment. You’re in awesome company. And there is so much love for you and your depression. Big hugs to you dearest Diane.
I’m right there with you Danielle, depression has been a frequent guest of mine as well from way back when I was a late teen. Since knowing Mother I’ve been able to manage it to shorter visits and, generally, less intensity. I think I’ve always attributed it to the situations or circumstances of my life that triggered it within me, but I don’t believe I’ve ever taken direct responsibility for bringing it to me. It’s certainly a different, more empowering way to see this, yet at the same time, I will need to be mindful of not getting into a cycle of beating myself up when choosing it.
Yes, yes and yes! Ditto to everything you just wrote. Love you Goddess!!!
Hello Danielle,
thank You so much for another nice video!
It helps to know mother Mary is with us when we feel down and ask her to inspire us.
The breathing part is so important to find the joy inside again….loved that video too!
Keep on going Danielle. You are doing great work!
I am amazed by Your talent.
Love, Helga
Thank you Helga. You message touched my heart. I’m so grateful to people such as yourself who inspire me to keep going and share Mother’s light with as many who wish to feel it. Big hugs to you!
I love this video as well as all of your videos that you generously share with us. I want to thank you for opening me to the gifts of Mother Mary. Thank you.
You’re so welcome Jennifer! Thank you for sharing your love. I’m so glad you’re a part of our community. Much love to you.
I can very much relate to the second category (lifestyle depression) Mother talks about. I think not working out in the real world has attributed to the depression I’ve experienced. Oppression from some of the closest people to me as well, including my own sister. I know God has sent me opportunities to get out of the oppression but I haven’t taken advantage of them. Not sure why. Yesterday I invited Mother Mary to tea. I took my Mother Mary statue I bought one day with my mom when she was alive, took out a pretty little tea set , and just had tea with her. And talked to her. Of course I bursted out crying after feeling my feelings about missing my mom, but afterwards, I felt cleaner, happier. Slowly but surely, she is reminding me of my true nature–and restoring my sense of gratitude for my life–and helping me feel again.
Thank you Danielle <3
Wonderful Johanna! It’s amazing how beautifully Mother shows up if we take the time to consciously let Her in. Taking an action like that goes a long way towards making room for joy. Well done!
Danielle, I love the blue top you have on at the end of your videos. Very chic 🙂
Thanks! It’s one of my favorites. 🙂
So it’s about 10pm here in So. California and the past 48 have been a little life changing. It’s so true what your say Danielle about letting Mother in even just a little can be life changing. How did I find you??? My relationship with sis has done a 180..I’m sure for the better even if it doesn’t so right now. I’m realizing how truly important it is to be sovereign and that unity doesn’t mean co-dependence. BIG lesson! Huge!! I wanted to post on mother’s (I’m calling her that now 😉 ) video she related for us on “Having more money”. The thing that struck me the most about it was that in order to have more money she says, “We must do what we are called to do”. Yikes! Aha moment!! Well, kinda. I still have to have some more conversations with her about that one! but it’s coming along. I did receive another phone from a preschool that’s hiring, but I don’t get a very good vibe from it. Funny thing is, is that a few hours before the call I had asked mother for another phone call from the school if it was a good fit for me, AND they called!! But I got scared and didn’t answer. Go figure right! So I felt very confused by the whole thing. Was mother answering my prayer?? But what about my intuition about it? Is it just sabotaging fear?? Anyway, I’m gonna pray and sit with her, and see how I feel tomorrow. There’s so much more I wanna say, but then it would make this too long of a post and I’ve already said A LOT! Anywho, thank you for reading. I’m really starting to believe it is Her as I do feel the Love.
P.S. As a aside and totally unrelated, but I had some Kombucha cold tea this evening per divine guidance and OMG..I feel so much better…quite energized :-).
Love,
J
I’m so glad to hear you are feeling Mother more profoundly in your life. I can relate so much to-Is it Mother, or my intuition, or my fear, or my….???? This is why Mother encourages us all the time to have a me-practice or meditation practice. A time for reflection and self exploration. It’s a daily time to get to know ourselves so we become better at discerning what’s right for us and how best to navigate our lives. She recommends we include journaling, still meditation and checking in with ourselves: What am I feeling? Is there anything I need to address? Am I hiding from myself or someone else? I like to have all kinds of tools at my altar depending on where I’m at on any given morning. I use journaling-free style and from prompts, silent meditation, guided meditations, repeating mantas using prayer beads, inspirational readings, and anything else that helps me to be open and willing. Thanks for your awesome post. Big hugs to you. You’re doing great!!
I think Mother Mary is having me watch Sophia The First…why is Mother having me watch Sophia the first?? Lol!!
Okay, so now I know why I’ve been watching Sophia the first :). My inner child wants to come out and Playyyy. :-). So I need to let her do that :-).
On a separate topic, I saw my exe’s picture today :-(. Unintentionally on FB, With his gf. I wasn’t ready to see it. We knew each other for about 15 years.He was probably a soulmate. And I thought I was over him..at least getting over him, but every time I hear a song still, I can’t help but to think of him. I know this has been the cause of the depression. Anyway, I’m just about done reading Ch 3 ..All about simplicity and I love the meditation on pg 55. I can’t wait to get to the ch. 5.. on Trust…
So glad you’re giving yourself the time and space to heal your loss. Even better hearing that it’s time to come out and play even while you’re still healing! Awesome.
