I would like to ask if Jeddah could address the subject of depression in relationship to the work. While my mind understands that this is a pattern I have created that the SoA is responding to, it is so difficult to shift out of when in the depths of it. It is like a great heavy blanket lays over me and I am trying to poke holes in it using a needle. It is disheartening to go to sleep having experienced a wonderful meditation of "being love" and wake up with the dark cloud and heaviness of the depression weighing over me. A very difficult way to start the day. How can I best address this using this work?

Also, can I expect the work to be "bringing this up" to be looked at and healed? (i.e., intense depression the morning after meditation?)

A related question is do antidepressants and other such medications inhibit the ability to experience the sensations of the intention?

Thank you
