Depression Is Not an Illness – It’s a Misalignment of the Soul: A Holistic Path to Healing

Depression Is Not an Illness – It’s a Misalignment of the Soul: A Holistic Path to Healing

It’s a Misalignment of the Soul: A Holistic Path to Healing

Feeling lost, numb, or hopeless? If you’re experiencing what’s commonly labelled as depression, know this: you are not broken. What you’re feeling is not a disease — it’s a signal. A call from your authentic self that something within is out of alignment. And with the right guidance, you can realign, reclaim your vitality, and rediscover deep joy, self-love, and purpose.

What Is Depression, Really? A Holistic Perspective

In holistic and metaphysical healing, depression is not seen as a mental illness, but rather as a disconnection from your true self. It’s a state of energetic misalignment caused by unresolved emotional experiences and trauma. At its core, depression is a message from your subconscious mind and soul, asking you to heal, to remember who you truly are.

What a Person Goes Through in Depression: The Deep Inner Lows

Depression can feel like:

  • A heavy, invisible weight pressing down on your chest and spirit
  • Emotional numbness where nothing seems to matter anymore
  • Deep fatigue, despite sleeping for hours or days
  • Tearfulness without a clear reason or the inability to cry even when you want to
  • A relentless inner voice that whispers self-doubt, guilt, or worthlessness
  • Isolation, even in a room full of people
  • A feeling of being lost, like your soul has gone silent

But beneath all these symptoms lies a truth: your soul is calling you back to alignment.

The Root Causes of Depression in Holistic Terms

From a holistic and metaphysical point of view, depression often stems from:

  • Past trauma or shock
  • Emotional rejection or abandonment
  • Childhood abuse, neglect, or shame
  • Unprocessed grief, heartbreak, or betrayal
  • Internalised fear or guilt or anxiety
  • Feeling like you’re not living your true purpose

These experiences get trapped in the subconscious mind and energy body, creating blockages. Over time, these blockages lead to misalignment — pulling you away from your true vibration and potential.

Healing Depression Through Core-Level Alignment

The good news is: you can heal — deeply, fully, and holistically. Depression does not define you. With the right guidance and support, you can realign with your authentic self, and your healing journey can begin.

A specialist like Dr. John Souglides, a leading metaphysician, holistic therapist, holistic hypnosis, non-medical hypnotherapy, life coach, and alternative healer, works on core level — helping individuals’ clear trauma, realign energetically, and unlock their full potential. His holistic approach combines subconscious reprogramming, energy healing, spiritual counselling, and soul-level work, leading to transformational results.

How the Subconscious Mind Heals Itself

Your subconscious mind holds limitless power. When activated with the right tools and support, it can:

  • Release emotional trauma and shock
  • Rebuild self-worth and inner peace
  • Rewire limiting beliefs into empowering truths
  • Reconnect you to your authentic frequency

As you realign internally, you begin to experience:

✅ Self-love

✅ Joy and happiness

✅ Vitality and life force energy

✅ Clarity of purpose

✅ Heightened compassion, kindness, and love

✅ Positive transformation in your external relationships and circumstances

This is not wishful thinking. It’s the natural law of inner resonance — your outer world mirrors your inner state.

Why Holistic Healing Works Faster Than You Might Think

Traditional methods often treat symptoms. Holistic healing goes to the root — the soul wound. When you heal at this core level, transformation can be swift, profound, and long-lasting.

Through therapies such as:

You address the source of your pain, not just the surface. This allows the true you to rise — vibrant, awake, and aligned.

You Are Meant to Thrive – Not Just Survive

If you’re feeling stuck, numb, or in despair, remember: you are not alone, and healing is possible. Depression is not a life sentence. It’s an invitation — to come back to yourself, your truth, your purpose.

With the guidance of a trusted holistic practitioner, like Dr. John Souglides, your journey back to alignment can begin today. You don’t have to do it alone — and you don’t have to carry the pain any longer.

Take the First Step Toward Alignment and Joy

The healing power is already within you — all it needs is the right activation.

Dr Souglides is one of the best therapist I have been to, his knowledge and compassion are by far the best I have experienced.

Thank you to Dr Souglides for all my sessions and for getting me on the right track in my life and the happiest I have ever been.

I have been very fortunate to have known Dr John for a good number of years and have had the privilege of benefitting from his incredible expertise in his field when it was required, with great results!
I recently went back to him with a matter that seemed to be insurmountable to me and after only one session, this was broken down in simple terms to something quite manageable, with the correct mindset and tools, which Dr John willingly equips one with.
I have been back for clarity in certain areas which Dr John unselfishly and patiently gave in detail, so that I feel empowered to move on in a positive manner independently

I have recommended Dr John to others, without hesitation, who could benefit from time with him

It really is quite remarkable how Dr John can empathise with any individual on all levels and with his perception break down any problem one would feel overwhelmed by

Highly recommended for self empowerment, peace as well as clarity of mind in order to move forward in a positive manner
