It is a disease of the soul and chemicals alone cannot heal it.&#8221; &#8211; Deb Shapiro<\/strong><br \/>\nDepression has many causes:  anger, confusion, death of a loved one, exhaustion, failure, hormone imbalance, hurt, loneliness, old age, rage, stress, trauma, unresolved feelings.<br \/>\nDepression becomes an overwhelming problem as a person struggles to survive and make ends meet in an increasingly complex society.<br \/>\nDepression can be an underlying cause of many other diseases:  respiratory diseases affecting the chest and lungs, alcoholism, compulsive eating, and many other ailments.<br \/>\nIt depresses the body as well as the mind. So it&#8217;s important to move&#8230;arms, legs, joints.  Keeping the body moving when suffering with depression is important.<br \/>\nIncidents can trigger depression such as loss of a job, divorce, death in the family, having to move, financial worries.<br \/>\nA person suffering with depression needs to go to a therapist for regular visits.  S\/he needs to get a physical to determine what underlying causes might be involved.  S\/he needs to have the diet carefully scrutinized to learn what nutritional imbalances exist.<br \/>\nRegular Reflexology for the Spirit sessions can definitely help.  Reflexology sessions work to return the body to homeostasis<br \/>\nWhen offering reflexology to a person suffering with depression, begin by working the solar plexus and diaphragm reflexes.  Work the endocrine system with emphasis on the pituitary gland reflexes, the thyroid and parathyroid reflexes.  Work the respiratory system with emphasis on the lung reflexes.  Work the urinary system with emphasis on the kidney reflexes.  Finally, work the spinal reflexes.<br \/>\nThank you for reading this post.<br \/>\nPlease share this article with your preferred social media.<br \/>\nLeave a comment.<br \/>\nPeace and food for all.<br \/>\nThurman Greco  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Being depressed is the most unsung source of suffering in the world.
