The bipolar condition is a metaphysical situation. Medical psychiatry and the public must awaken to metaphysical and spiritual reality, as per spiritual psychiatrist Carl G. Jung.

The psyche is incarnated spirit...soul...but most people think their ego is their psyche. The ego, the false self, comes into existence when we unknowingly identify with the mind (the memory organ) and its memory...which is junk.

The ego acts as a cap on the mind and keeps suppressed emotional energies trapped there. We do not stop feeling the pain of these emotions, but the ego keeps us from embracing them and expressing them out of the mind...which would be the needed healing.

A major upset (or a series of them) initiates the bipolar condition...which has you tripping from spirit-elation to mind-depression, and then back again.

The elated phase occurs when some event has the bipolar person become vulnerable...puts them in their heart. The ego is simultaneously deflated and, with ego out of the way, they get in touch with their true self...spirit. Spirit then reigns which has them feel incredibly powerful, AS IT SHOULD.

By experiencing the spiritual power that is inherent to their soul they become hugely elated. (The word manic is pejorative and must be expunged.) Doesn't it make sense that you will be elated when your spirit reigns as your self rather than your junk-inspired ego?

Despite Sigmund's convictions, you want your ego to collapse. It is part of the process toward enlightenment...which reflects the teachings of the Buddha and of Jesus, both having conquered their egos.

Then the bipolar depressive phase kicks in. This is because, with the ego deflated, the cap to suppressed emotion is removed thereby allowing the mind to bring painful emotional energy up from storage and slam it against the psyche...whacking it with depression, panic, paranoia, etc. This automatic memory retrieval process (with its painful result) is the technical hitch. The ego then quickly gets reinstated as an inadequate means to inhibit the rising pain.

Dr. Stanislav Grof, a spiritual psychiatrist who includes yoga breathing in his practice, insightfully determined the above dynamics. You must free yourself of conventional concepts of the psyche if you want to heal of bipolar...and of just about every other mental challenge.

Years ago I deflated my ego through a mental process and put myself into the elated state for the better part of a day. It was an incredibly wonderful experience being in touch with my true self, having me feel extremely powerful...until my ego kicked back in and I felt like I was dumped on. This mental process is mentioned in Eckhart Tolle's book, A New Earth.

Yoga breathing deflates the ego, makes you vulnerable, and allows you to accept rising emotions and express them. With this there is healing...of the mind...the source of the problem.

A bipolar client is now healed. She no longer has down-swings nor up-swings. This was accomplished with 15 yoga breathing sessions over a span of three months. She has not had any meds since her last session in November of 2010.

Spiritual Bipolar Website
Website Bipolar or Waking Up was created by Sean Blackwell. Mr. Blackwell healed of bipolar during an elated episode by "rejecting my ego". His spiritually oriented website displays many informative videos that discuss the spiritual dynamics of the bipolar state. All his videos are on youtube. His site is a must-read for the bipolar community.

Yoga Breath Therapy
The painful emotional component that initiated the bipolar condition is readily purged from the mind with yoga breath therapy. If you've had challenging spiritual experiences you may want to undertake pranic healing first. This is something we can discuss.

Once the depressive emotional component is eliminated the bipolar condition is transformed to unipolar and permits focusing on your spiritual path.
