Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 I have been teaching myself how to silence my mind as in lesson 2. I have done this twice a day for about 4 days. Normally I feel very good, calm and at peace afterward. Last night, right after I finished, I got a real bad headache. When I awoke today I felt extremely angry and still had my pounding headache. I can't focus at all with these feelings and though I tried to meditate it only made me angrier as I can't find patience. Could last nights meditation have caused this? How can I get past this? and How can I prevent this from happening again? Please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Dear Matt, Welcome to your inner life, i.e. your hidden emotions. The meditation did not cause the anger. The anger was there all along and you got in touch with it. That is one of the things that happens when we take the time to go inside. We find all the emotions that we have repressed. This part of the process is not the fun part, but it is the way inner connection works. We have to go through the tunnel to get to the other side of the mountain. We can also climb the mountain of life and burn off these emotions through grueling life experiences. And of course we each have our own combination of the two modes. >I have been teaching myself how to silence my mind as in lesson 2. I have >done this twice a day for about 4 days.

A punching bag is most theraputic. Now you need to do physical exercises so that you can use the energy that is being released. Anger can be transmuted into action. So do the physical exercies and take action for yourself to support yourself. One of the underlying reasons we are angry is that we haven't stood up for ourselves and for our own truth. How can you support yourself now? > I can't focus at all with these feelings and though I tried to meditate > it only made me angrier as I can't find patience.

Clue: Even if it seems to involve others, it is something about your relationship with yourself. Feel those feeling until they shift to alive energy and then use it. Let us know how your are doing. This is a common occurence and an ongoing part of becoming conscious. Sat Nam, Gururattan Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 In Kundalini yoga the highs get higher and the lows become less frequent. If you can allow yourself to feel rather than think, immerse yourself in constructive activity, just figure out ways to get through the anger, excercise, running, its part of the wave and with practice and your intention on patience it will come. >"mattgelfman0" <mattgelfman >Kundaliniyoga >Kundaliniyoga >Kundalini Yoga Can meditation have caused anger >Tue, 24 May 2005 03:12:42 -0000 > >I have been teaching myself how to silence my mind as in lesson 2.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Thank you all for helping me stay to my commitment. The last couple of days have been amazing. I hadn't realized how angry I was. I still don't fully know why but the fact that my anger is increasingly dissipating makes me care little for the question. I have found a sense of peace through most of the day. I have also been able to see how much of a jerk I have been to people because of my anger. Once again, for all your thoughts thanks, it kept me going (and keeps me going).
