Learning to live in the moment and increasing one's awareness of things in the present can cultivate positive energy and invite personal growth. Does it help depression to feel less severe? Not for me. However, it does help me cope with depression by nurturing those parts of my being that are pummeled by negative energy and destructive thoughts.
