If you feel down or depressed, think and behave as though you are happy. This is not a false happiness but a summoning up of happiness. By taking control of our feelings and attitudes we move into balance.
This idea of summoning up happiness is a vital tool. No matter how low we feel there is always something to feel happy about. By finding and focusing on our happy spot we actually change our feelings and attitudes and move into balance. Balance creates health.

Get some energy work. This is a great way to release emotional stress as well as to aid your body in beginning to heal physically. Find a method that is compatible with your spiritual beliefs. This is very important.
Finding an appropriate energetic practitioner is not always easy. It is important to find one that you can trust and believe in which is why it is paramount that you make sure the practitioner’s views and practices jive spiritually with yours. All energy is not equal! When you go for a session try to relax and put your logical mind on hold. Be open to receiving healing from the Source of all Life. Afterward, drink plenty of water and rest. Don’t worry if you temporarily feel worse or you have “odd” sensations –this is normal as your body reacts to the treatment.
Bk1 D21
Find ways that work for you to clear repressed emotions and release stressful feelings. Stress and negative emotions cause imbalance, which exacerbates illness. Energetic Therapy is particularly useful for this purpose.
You can also utilize writing, art, music, prayer, Torah study, exercise, or nature. Or find a private space and scream. Water is particularly healing. Try screaming under the water.
