At the heart of this approach is the principle of light and dark being opposites; that light always banishes the dark.

The use of guided imagery plays a significant role while listening to this recording. Methods of letting go of negative attitudes are presented, interspersed with beautiful, uplifting music.

Depression can be the most crippling of life's challenges, making everything seem grey and pointless, sapping our will to live and darkening all of our thoughts.

Dr Farmer combines age-old wisdom with images from Nature and modern techniques to guide the listener out of the darkness of despair into the 'light' of a new way of thinking and living.

" There is a saying: 'Everything is either good or leading towards the good'. In this way depression can be seen as an opportunity to learn and grow……"

"If your body has slowed down and is reluctant to do what it used to do, it might be time to change direction in some way……"

" We can let ourselves believe that the 'sun' of our inner world is still shining even when the clouds of fear, pain, sadness and depression prevent us from feeling its warmth….."

" The rough diamond is chipped by an expert, again and again, until it shines in exquisite brilliance. We too are in expert hands - the hands of fate, God or karma,…."

Stories of those helped by this recording:

A very angry mother of two teenage boys became acutely depressed after overworking then being wrongfully dismissed through an administration error. She played the CDs day and night, 'just holding on', until self-confidence and positivity began to return.

The joyful demeanour of a middle-aged man who 'had it all' steadily deteriorated until he was caught up in chronic depression. Dr Farmer's words reminded him that every shadow points to a light, and so he began rediscovering a life's attitude that he'd lost as a child.
