Why have I been feeling sad while meditating?.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
I am a 45 year old woman.
I learned to meditate when I was 17.
More recently I have started the So Hum meditation and it has stirred up lots of emotions.
While meditating I feel total sadness and I cry every morning.
It takes a lot of energy.
I’m looking for help to explain to me why it is so.
It seems that the meditation is releasing some deep levels of grief and sadness.
These old feelings are now ready to be healed.
To make it easier for you, when the feelings become very strong, instead of paying attention to the emotions, pay attention to the physical sensations in your body.
Let your awareness simply remain with those physical sensations, whether they increase or decrease.
Having the mind attend to the body’s sensations helps it release the old trauma without taking you through the difficult emotions again.
Eventually, the sensations will subside and then you will have other thoughts enter your mind.
This is your signal to return to your meditation practice.
Once this sadness has cleared away, your meditation will return to normal.
