Suicide ~ Recommended Vitamins, Herbs, and Other Considerations (995 hits)
The recent death of actor and comedian Robin Williams brings national attention to the issue of suicide and the struggles facing celebrities.
Suicide is the intentional taking of one's life. It is generally preceded by periods of chronic depression, a sense of extreme loneliness, worthlessness and isolation. It adversely impacts more than just the person who ended his or her own life. It impacts the parents (mother and father), siblings, relatives, offspring, and friends and perhaps a community. When someone considered dear to us commits suicide, the first questions we ask ourselves is "Why? How can someone who is loved by so, so many people be so grossly unhappy?"
People who contemplate suicide are unconscious because they are not aware that life cannot end. Life is everlasting and can never end. This present life you’re experiencing now is not the first time you’ve been alive. You have lived many lives before now and will live many more after this life, however, perhaps not all on the Earth plane and/or perhaps not all in a flesh body. The flesh body may expire or terminate, but life itself (the soul) NEVER dies or expires. It can’t! It’s impossible. The problem with many people is that they have simply FORGOTTEN all of the above. Taking on flesh or a dense body makes us forget. But we have the power to RE-MEMBER. Past life information is very present and available for all of us if we learn to access it.
So why unwisely commit suicide and end the flesh body (vessel) that you incarnated in to learn specific life lessons? Just because you commit suicide doesn’t mean the lessons are over. You can’t escape life lessons that you intentionally chose in advance on the Other side (but forgot about due to life here in the Matrix and embracing its illusions) before incarnating or being born.
This is why I teach that suicide is futile, a waste of time (as far as the soul’s progression is concerned here on the Third Dimension, a/k/a planet Earth). For if you take your own life, you have not done anything, you have not escaped from anything. You have just decided to re-incarnate back at a later time and undergo EVERY life event and similar circumstance that you underwent up until the time you committed suicide. You’re just starting over when you commit suicide, meaning you’re wasting time (the soul’s progression in a flesh body). Instead of moving forward, you’re moving backwards.
Upon your return to Earth life in another flesh body (if you commit suicide), you will have the same kind of parents as your last parents. You will experience every situation of your past life and if you mastered the lesson the last time around you’ll simply move through it faster upon your return, but you’ll go through it again nonetheless. You’ll go through every situation or circumstance of your last life, with different characters fulfilling roles nonetheless, up until the point or time you committed suicide.
Again, suicide is not an escape. It is only a delay. It is like resetting the clock back to 12. It simply slows down the soul’s progression. So what is a person accomplishing by committing suicide? No matter what, whatever that hurdle (problem) may be, it must be dealt with and crossed, and it will be (sooner or later), so why not cross it this time around, in this life, in this present body you have? Why not now?
Many people are lost and don’t know why they are here on Earth or what they are here on Earth to do because they have yet to pay off past karmic debts. This is what is blocking them. When you begin to pay off karmic debts and learn your life’s lessons, then everything becomes clear. You discover your true life’s purpose (mission) here on Earth! This is true!
A lot of people are depressed out here, but not to the degree that celebrities are. Many well-known celebrities are depressed. I find the age to start around the early 20’s. Many of the factors deal with perception of lack of love, self-image and self-esteem issues (as many work in an industry that places heavy emphasis on appearance, perfection, and looks), lifelong abuse, and outright emotional imbalance.
I would have to say from my personal experience the number one reason or cause for this depression is in the area of love pertaining to relationships. Male-female relationships in the U.S. are a very troubled thing nowadays, especially in the African American community. There’s plenty of s*x, but hardly no real, true, genuine love. Babies are being made, but rarely commitments. We are getting together, but very few marriages are taking place. Sixty percent (60%) of people in the U.S. are unmarried. Forty percent (40%) have never been married. Seventy percent (70%) of households on the U.S. are led by single parents. The statistics and facts speak pretty clearly to me and I can see how the above plays a role in chronic depression for many people, especially those individuals who desire true love, to be married, to be a wife, to have a father figure for their children. This whole subject of male-female relationships is actually a discussion that deserves a entire blog all by itself, and I will most definitely cover it at a later time.
Natural Healing Support
Nervine herbs positively affect the nervous system, which can be helpful for ending depression. These can be consumed in capsule form, liquid extract, or tea form. Nervine herbs include: Kava Kava, Jatamansi, Valerian Root, Linden Flower, Passionflower, Lavender Flower, Catnip, Skullcap, St. John's Wort, and Chamomile.
Essential oils are also helpful, the ones with an affinity for the nervous system, which include: Lavender, Neroli, Rose, Bergamot, Chamomile, Champaca, Sandalwood, Frankincense, May Chang, Orange, Mandarin, and Linden.
Vitamins which are beneficial include Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin C, Magnesium, Calcium, Zinc, Iron, and Potassium.
Eat more "happy fruits" for optimizing serotonine production. Great 'happy fruits' are : dried date, figs, papayas, bananas, strawberries, cherries, oranges, mangoes, pineapples, grapefruit and hazelnuts
If you are contemplating suicide...
Feed your spiritual side (and don't confuse spiritual with religious). Perform deep breathing exercises, or yoga. This exercise helps us to remove pent up, stagnant, and stale energy.
Do not lie in bed all day. Get up! Move around! Do something! Occupy your mind. Stretch, jog, go swimming, or hiking!
FORGIVE YOURSELF. It doesn't matter what it is that you have done or was done unto you. Release it! Let it go! Forgive yourself and be free!
Meditate and pray. Release the grief! Remove the fear! Release the guilt and shame! Though times may get dark, you must understand that all life starts in darkness. Without darkness we'd have no light. Light is dependent upon darkness. Darkness and light work together.
Dark days don't always last (and again, not that dark days are bad or negative). Trouble doesn't always last. A person like me sees and converts trouble into opportunity that means choices, choices to improve my life, condition, and circumstances.
Make sure that if and when you are depressed that you only listen to uplifting or inspirational and motivational music. Even go to sleep listening to this kind of music. Make sure to listen to this kind of music repeatedly and consistently, consciously programming yourself. Also, watch funny movies, comedies! Laugh, laugh, laugh! Laughter truly is good medicine. Make sure you only talk to positive and uplifting people, too.
There is no hurdle too big to cross! There is no life question too big to be answered. There is no problem too large to be solved. As Stevie Wonder said in one of my favorite songs (“Have a Talk With God”): “If you feel your life is too hard, just go have a talk with God.”
God is a free psychiatrist that doesn’t charge any money and who has all the time in the world. God is the one with all the answers; so if it is answers you require, ask your question to the All Wise and All-Knowing One.
Beloved, God is “the one who lives within” as Stevie sings in the song. Therefore, God is always there for you. Always! You just may have become disillusioned due to your life circumstances and feel that God has abandoned you but it is you who have abandoned the knowledge and knowing that God is within yourself and thus ALWAYS around for you. Life’s circumstances can make us forget this truth. Taking hard drugs can make us forget this. Drinking the devil’s alcohol can make us forget this.
If you believe God is in heaven, then God is within (you) because Jesus states numerously in the Gospels that the “Kingdom of Heaven is WITHIN!”
Because God is within, you never have to make an appointment with God. God is never too busy for you or us. Never! You don’t have to know how to pray or worry about what language to speak to God in. God does not care about your posture, your position, your form or format, etc. when praying to Him/Her. Just get in your closet (the closet of your heart, the closet of your mind) and pray (or talk to God). Just talk, because closed mouths don’t get fed. If you have a problem and desire an answer – TALK! If you’re lost and are seeking guidance – TALK! Open up and talk to your Maker and Creator!
Remember...
Your life has value.
You are loved, whether you feel it or not.
You do mean a lot and something to this world and the world does need you.
You play an integral part in the balance of things here on the planet.
Your life has purpose!
Think about all of the good things you've ever done in your life. Only think about the good you've done as well as all the good things people have said about you. If no one has said anything good about you or you can't remember, simply say something good about yourself TODAY! Today, this moment, is all you have, so start here!

1. Hanging oneself with the belt 'withon' your pants and slashing your wrist to see the blood 'within' is MADNESS, an act against that which gave Oneself LIFE---to live and eat "...Vitamins, Herbs...."
2. another point of History, Scholarship and Science is that the gospels of the latinJesus were WRITTEN by the greek and roman Generators of the latinJesus...I believe even the herbalists read that in kingJames version
We at BIA, an African American Family site pray that NO African American Family has to deal with the "consideration' of robinWilliams's INSANE, SICK act of INHUMANITY ever..........
