Free Download of Depression Meditation Music
There are several websites offers free download of meditation music for depression. Most of people asks me can we download these music and use it directly. I strongly recommend them not to go for that and there are many reasons for it. Music has to be personalized as per problems of person. When it comes to online music those techniques are created by considering some standard symptoms of depression which may not be applicable to you. And if you download such music which will not work for you may leads you to be more disappointed.
Meditation vs Medication for Depression
Most of people make mistake with this point. Meditation and medication are not opposite of each other in fact if you use both together you will leads into great and fast results. I don’t want any body to stop taking depression medicine without consulting doctors. Meditation works for depression but each thing has its own limitation. Don’t expect it too fast. The best thing I can say about using meditation for depression is that it works from root cause of depression. Its not just treating the symptoms but also treats the cause and gives new hope to a person for better life which off course medication can’t do.
Side Effects of Meditation for Depression
Meditation is 100% effective treatment with 0% side effects. Meditation is not a quick cure for anything. It won’t magically heal your illness or fix your depression or get rid of your loneliness. It won’t provide comfort or solace or nurturing, at least not the kind you typically look for to try to temporarily ease your pain. Instead, the practice of meditation involves transformation.
