One of the most difficult states of mind to deal with is that of feeling low and depressed. In the most compassionate manner, Nithya Shanti shares his wisdom of how depression may indeed be a time for ‘deep rest’. Giving examples from nature Nithya Shanti points out that we too can slow down to allow ourselves some rest from this fast-paced world. Sharing from his personal experience, Nithya Shanti talks about the importance of gratitude for the small things in life to allow for a ‘conscious evolution’ over the choices of nature that have thus far provided a survival advantage to a brain that highlights and dwells upon the potential for harm, danger or failure.
