Have I lost my powers?

Losing power's, Firstly I would not refer to to them as power's "gift's" would be the more appropriate term.

I suggest you re-centre yourself , ground and meditate, most often something as simple has not being properly centred will throw oneself off balance and affect your ability to perform properly.

One does not lose the gift's one has once given, they may become dormant until you feel you are in the right state of mind again.
Work on balancing and opening your chakras more also ;)

Love and light.

friend the powers that is yours cannot be lost but forgoten. it is only natral for that to happen when your depress so do not taht it too harsh just go with the time and eventualy when you feel better you can do it agian.

You have to have will power and focus to do any form of magick. Depression is developing a lack of will (drive) to do much of anything, much less magick.

I suggest doing energy work yourself or seeing a reiki master or shaman that can help realign you energy to help you move forward with your issues.

Here is a great little practice that is very simple to help calm you down and help you center and cleanse. Sit in the lotus position with your middle finger and thumb touching. Breathe slowly, in through your nose and out through your mouth. Then slowly move your thumb to touch every one of your fingers index to pinkie then pinkie to index continuing to breathe in the same way. This helps your mind to calm down and causes a sense of quiet. Then see a large sun above your head and let it come down to your crown chakra when the unhealthy energy clears, continue to move it down each chakra down to your root chakra. When its complete, have the sun shoot up to the top of your head again and see gold dust/light falling from the sun and filling your aura, again pushing out all unhealthy energy. After you do this you should feel better.

If it doesn't, you have a lot more damage done by emotions and thoughts and you may need an energy worker to do it for you.

the magick you work and its effectivness in creating change is directly dependant on your mental, physical and emotional well being at the time. That being said, your being in a depression for the past year is obviously going to weaken any spells you might try and cast.

Do you really expect to be in tune with the universe when you're not in tune with yourself? Depression is a very serious issue and I can understand reluctance in going to see someone about it and personally I have an inbuilt horror of being 'fixed' by doctors giving me pills. But there are some great herbal remidies for depression and getting counselling to find the root of your depression will not only help your depression but knowing yourself more intimately will vastly streghthen your magic. Lastly magic if powered by faith, so your doubts are the very thing blocking you. Keep strong and spill your heart to someone who'll listen.

Blessed be

This is what I do (I have long term depression that I have gotten rid of) imagine when you are in the shower, imagine that the bad feelings and thoughts flow from you down the drain, leaving your life, also a good way to take bad things out of crystals!

Hi, I know exactly why I'm so sorry to hear. There are consequences and you using you're power to make rain happen may not work for maybe as long as it takes so all you have to do is wait, maybe think about how many times you made rain happen if you can remember and then count down the days of you're consequence. I have no idea how long this was but I hope this works try listening to meditation music to have you're mind set on that one thing and have everything else cleared. :)

This thread is three years old. One would hope that the original poster had gotten over their depression by now. In any event, there is no need to resurrect a long dead post.
