Understanding your pain during meditation

Interesting enough, some pain in meditation is actually what brings us personal development.
Some discomfort in the body, in the mind, is part of the practice. Something to undergo, and when able to do so in meditation, we will be more resilient in life. We learn to distance ourselves from discomfort, understanding it is not who we áre.
Still, discomfort, how beneficial it may be, can also distract you from growth, when the pain is unnecessary. Some of the discomfort can be dissolved easily, bringing you into deeper meditation, giving you more benefits from your practice. Some discomfort can be even unhealthy for the body.

Here are a few pains you might encounter that are worth looking at. Continue Reading →

Emotions during your meditation

Meditation brings you close to yourself, it takes a little courage, the encounter with yourself is not always comfortable and can even be very emotional.
Emotions that have been around for a long time are waiting for you, many people find it hard to seek silence. The confrontation with yourself is one for the brave among us.
It is therefore one of the reasons that people stop meditating. After all, you start meditation for growth, improvement and relaxation in your life. As soon as emotions come your way, which you didn’t expect and also bring you out of balance, you can get confused and wonder if meditation is really your thing.

Why visualization and meditation just aren’t the same

First and foremost … It’s superb. Both techniques are great, very good for body and soul and you’ll be reborn after the battle, at least struggle … Just kidding.. Well, for some it can be a struggle, but in general a moment for yourself is experienced as very welcome.
