Meditation for depression - silence that doesn't overwhelm

Depression is not a lack of motivation - but a regulatory disorder

Depression is not simply "sadness", "laziness" or "a merry-go-round of thoughts". It is a profound change in mood, drive, body perception and inner experience. It is often accompanied by sleep disorders, exhaustion, concentration problems, pain or inner emptiness.

The body is there - but it often feels strange, heavy, dull.
The head is awake - but trapped in itself.
The breath flows - but it is not felt.

Meditation can be an effective tool here - if it is used correctly.
