Postnatal Depression

Postnatal depression is well-known for affecting the relationship parents have with their children, and it can stop us accessing joy at a time which is meant to be defined by happiness.  

This can lead to feelings of guilt and failure, pushing us further into the negative spiral of depression. 

Our relationship with our partner can suffer, making it difficult to form a united team against the challenges we face.

Beeja meditation helps with all aspects of depression, and can be used in isolation or as part of a wider strategy, combining well with traditional treatments. 

When we use meditation for postnatal depression, the incredibly deep rest gained through meditation helps us to work off some of the fatigue and helps us cope much more effectively with disrupted sleep cycles.

Tuning into our mind and body’s natural creative intelligence also allows our production of hormones to rebalance so that we find ourselves much more on an even keel.

With meditation, the chronically over-activated autonomic nervous system is now much more in balance and takes us away from the threshold of negativity.

From the point of view of adaptability and self-esteem, we find our inner resources and self-perception become greatly elevated by a practice that really gives strength and empowers us to realise that we have something incredibly valuable and lovable inside.

By accessing it each day, we can draw on these resources and start delivering the best of ourselves, even when circumstances are challenging.
