Depression
Depression can be seen as a dis-ease or distortion in your frequencies, a state where your natural flow of energy becomes blocked, heavy, or misaligned. It is not simply a weakness, a character flaw, or a permanent state. It is not who you are at your core. Depression is an experience, a temporary distortion in the vibration of your being that can be healed, shifted, and brought back into harmony.
From the perspective of love, depression is an invitation to soften into compassion for yourself. Love does not judge the heaviness or reject the struggle—it embraces it. Love whispers that even in your lowest moments, you are still worthy, still whole, and still surrounded by light. To see depression through love is to see yourself not as broken, but as needing tenderness and care.
From the perspective of fear, depression feels like a deep trap, convincing you that you are powerless, stuck, and cut off from hope. Fear feeds the cycle by reinforcing isolation and self-criticism. Yet the act of recognizing depression as a distortion of frequencies can loosen fear’s grip. It reminds you that energy can shift, and that fear is not the final word.
From the perspective of sadness, depression is like sorrow that has been frozen in time, unable to move. Sadness itself is natural and healthy, but when it becomes stuck, it can transform into the heavy fog of depression. By acknowledging and expressing sadness with gentleness, the energy begins to flow again, and depression slowly softens into release.
From the perspective of psychotherapy, depression is seen as a complex interplay of thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and neurochemistry. It is real, it affects the brain and body, and it can be treated through therapy, medication, and supportive practices. Psychotherapy offers tools to shift thinking patterns, reframe beliefs, and reintroduce meaning and connection into life.
From the perspective of the soul, depression is not who you are but a veil that covers your inner light. The soul itself is never depressed; it is always radiant. Depression is a call from the soul to remember your essence, to realign with your true nature, and to peel back the layers of distortion to rediscover the joy that already exists within you.
From the perspective of quantum science, depression can be understood as a low-frequency state of coherence. Energy vibrates at certain frequencies, and depression resonates at a slower, denser vibration. By shifting thoughts, emotions, and practices, you can recalibrate your frequency, moving from distortion into alignment and coherence.
From the perspective of money, depression can create scarcity and block abundance. When energy is low, motivation decreases, and opportunities may feel out of reach. Money, like energy, requires flow. Healing depression through frequency shifts allows abundance to return because the energetic constriction around worthiness and receiving begins to dissolve.
From the personal perspective, I was diagnosed as depressed a few years ago by my GP, and it is a day I will never forget. I remember feeling like this is not true, that I must be in a nightmare. I hand on heart did not know what the hell depression was, and my God was I about to learn what it was and what it was not. Thanks to my depression, I started to truly connect to who I was and who I was not. It also forced me to connect to the pain of unprocessed emotions connected to memories as young as age three, where I had experienced sexual abuse. Between the ages of three to six, I carried many unprocessed, trapped emotions from those traumatic experiences. What helped me come out of depression was a combination of medical care, holistic care, and talk therapy. I hand on heart do not believe that only tapping into one part of my care resolved my issues—it was all of what I have called out.
At the core of my depression was unprocessed trapped emotions and trauma energy stuck in my body that came out as symptoms labelled as depression or clinical depression. Fast forward to now, I am medication-free and support myself daily and weekly with self-connection and the awareness that I need to release my emotions rather than suppress them. The greatest lesson I have learned is that no emotion you feel cannot be felt and processed safely within you. Another lesson is that the body keeps the score—it holds memory, energy, and truth. The body is always trying in its own way to tell you when things are not balanced. Sometimes the anger you keep having, the frustration that rises and feels unmanageable, is not about the present moment at all but linked to deep traumas of childhood waiting for you to address them.
Through my work with clients, I have also come to see that people are often afraid to feel their emotions. Many don’t know how to feel their emotions, or even what their emotions truly are. They have been conditioned to suppress, avoid, or numb instead of allowing emotions to move through them. This suppression creates stagnation, and over time, it manifests as depression, anxiety, or physical illness. The truth is that emotions are not here to harm us—they are here to guide us, to signal what needs healing, and to remind us that we are human. When we learn to welcome emotions instead of fearing them, we return to flow, balance, and inner strength.
From my own heart, I see one truth: people who are hurt, hurt other people. A person only knows what they have experienced to be normal, so no one is really out there hurting others on purpose. At a flawed core level, each person just wants to be loved and appreciated. Each person goes about showing love in the only way they know how, and sometimes that expression of love can look quite disturbing or messy. But when we understand that behind even harmful behaviour is an unmet need for love, we soften, we forgive, and we begin to see humanity in one another.
In final thoughts, depression is not your identity. It is not permanent, and it is not the truth of who you are. It is a dis-ease in your frequency that can be shifted back into balance. Through love, presence, and conscious practices, depression can become a doorway into deeper understanding and renewal.
Here is a six-step exercise to help you with this:
Sit quietly and acknowledge how you feel without judgment. Simply say, “This is how I feel right now, and it is okay.”
Place your hand on your heart and take three slow, deep breaths, inviting softness into your body.
Imagine your depression as heavy energy, a distortion in your frequency. Visualize it as a cloud or vibration that can shift.
Begin to repeat softly: “I am sorry. I forgive myself. I love myself. Thank you.” Let these words move gently through you.
Picture the heavy energy slowly dissolving, being replaced by light, warmth, and flow. Even if you do not feel it yet, imagine it.
End by whispering, “I am open to healing. I choose love. I am free,” and rest in stillness for a moment.
And now, a message to your subconscious: as you read these words, your energy is already shifting. You begin to feel lighter, calmer, and more connected to the truth of who you are. You sense that healing is possible and that support is available to you now. If it feels right, you will be guided to book a remote session with Nicoline, knowing this choice aligns with your highest good and deepest healing. You will also feel inspired to write positive and loving comments, sharing your gratitude and light with others, knowing that what you give returns to you multiplied. You are already on the path to balance, peace, and love.
