Move to another state of mind - depression is just a state of mind.
Substitute positive for negative thoughts - think of something inspiring.
Thoughts are just thoughts, they are not you.
Emotions are just emotions, they are not you.
The seventh sense is the problem one - it is judgemental - don't connect with it. Slow down the process. Enhance the sixth sense - consciousness - so that 'a flavour is a flavour'.
The gap in thoughts is the nowness.
Relive profound experiences - this will help you overcome your habits.
Have faith - hope - there is a way to overcome this [depression].
Depression is not continuous, it is 'renewed' by your thoughts.
The ultimate nature of your mind is not depression - cut the habits of old stories.
Transform your mind - all fear and anxiety come from a mind that is untrained. Work with your untamed mind.
Listen to Buddhist teachings.
Walk in nature - be outside - look at the view.
Methods
- tonglen, vajrayana
- look at an image
- watch teaching on buddha nature (mirror neurons)
- humour is important
- look at thoughts and emotions directly (as an object of meditation). Thoughts are your family - they will disappear, which shows the empty nature of mind - a gap appears
- look at the emotion itself - not object or subject. If you are angry, introduce another emotion instead
