Guest guest Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 Hello all (sorry for all this babble), I have always done mindfulness meditation in my practice. About 4 months ago, I started Hatha yoga (before, I participated in Tae Kwon Do - a great practice..but a little too aggressive for my taste). Anyway, I have lost about 30 pounds, and I have been feeling great...however, the emotional aspect....it has been something that I have not anticipated. compassion is something that I have talked about, and did feel, but it really feels like my heart is opening.....like when I used to think of war..it really bothers me...to the point of tears. I feel compassion in such a differenent way....for instance, I lost my father in December (which is part of the reason that I really got going). I thought I was just getting a great workout....I am a tad bit surprised about all this...it was unaticipated. It is a peaceful way to see the hurts of the past....but I did not intend on having them bubble up to the surface....any thougths on this??? Any resources.....it is not out of control or anything..but along with the healthful benefits.....it has been very emotional...and......just......interesting....
