Could last nights meditation have caused this?

How can I get past this? See info below borrowed from Guy Finley.

How can I prevent this from happening again? I'm not sure it can be

prevented. I think we experience whatever is being stirred up.

Hopefully, we are not given more than we can handle. I am not an

expert, so take what you want and leave the rest.

 

This discovery begins with the conscious action of deliberately stepping

back from our thoughts. We become an observer of ourselves, watchful of

both the content -- and the intent -- of everything arising from our own

mind and heart.

 

How do you start stepping back from your thoughts? Right where you are.

Begin this very moment. Become aware, right now, without thinking about

it, that you are thinking. See that there are thoughts and feelings

coursing through you. As you watch their movements, be their silent

witness. Just observe.

 

To observe yourself, assume no position on the thoughts and feelings you

see moving through you. Don't put yourself on either side of any

thought's content. And should you get temporarily caught in the web of

any thinking, then watch that event with the impartial intent and simply

start over. Just let your awareness of these thoughts and feelings be

there.

 

The foundation of self-observation is a higher self-awareness that puts

you in direct contact with a new and superior Intelligence, a silent

wisdom that immediately goes to work in your favor, knowing exactly what

to do with all that passes before it. It can see the mindless,

self-serving antics of your lower nature coming from a thousand miles

away -- which is the same as taking you out of harm's way.
