Gimpy is right on target here. This is nothing more than 'Love and Light' teachings in my opinion.
mwee, have you read any of the material on this site, such as 'The Wave'? Since you are new to this site, it is also recommended that you post a introduction in the newbies thread. There is much one can learn here if one is truly wanting to learn.
Hi Jelly49
On the surface of it it might seem like a good idea if it can help you out of a depressed mood, however there are other things worth considering (if one is depressed/suffering depression) that would probably be more beneficial. I must admit that New Age ideas did become a crutch for me while coming out of my depression.....that was until I found SOTT.
They are the diet and health section (as I learnt myself over time, my depression was tied to many underlying health issues/hormone imbalances)....
After considering that section and making some progress with the concepts of the work, one of the most important threads on the forum to do with depression is Depression As A Stepping Stone (to Soul Growth)
To me this nexus thing is the equivalent of mental junk food, at best rubbish (with a 'hit' of good feelings) but just like real junk food its probably quite toxic at some level. If you just need a quick something to get you out of a darker mood then a walk outside in the fresh air on a sunny day tends to work better, and may not be as mentally toxic :)

Usually I'm in a good mood by default, regardless of what I eat, etc.
I thought the link that was given here was more amusing than anything, thus putting a smile on my face. I'm like that; always seeing the funny side of life. Though my downside is that I take it too far to the point of becoming cynical.
I only get depressed and dark when I become too distracted with the unimportant things of life. I dwell on things and it brings me down a bit. For a while I was too busy and caught up to do any proper research and I was "falling back to sleep" again, and though all of this stuff was in the back of my head I still found myself to be too distracted.
It helps to read a few nice, New-Agey words on the comp screen. After that, I feel peace and calm within and I dont worry so much about those unimportant things in life. They act more like a trigger for me than anything else, but I am not stupid enough to be reeled right in. Approach discernment with anything, even this forum we're in right now ...
Could it be that those unimportant things that bring you down are what you need to learn about rather than avoid? :) Or at least if they are genuinely unimportant there is some emotional/mental processes linked to them that should be explored and observed perhaps?
Although it may seem like nothing (or even a good idea) to read such things and feel peace and calm, its actually a (useful) example of buying into the subjectivity that the place promotes. Even if you don't buy the content, you bought the concept of 'escaping' (dissociating) from real life (into a 'happy place'). i.e. you put yourself 'back to sleep'.
That's the kicker (and the danger) with a place like the above. This is what (most of) the new age movement tends to promote.
