Why Meditation made so unhappy?

Question

I took a transcendental meditation course 2 months ago and meditate for about a month but instead of that making me feel better as they said it made me feel very depressed and unhappy, after meditate I wanted to cry and I was tired, why? eventually I quit meditation and now I feel excellent, happier and with more energy.

I really don't think that that happened because I of bad past experiences and emotions.

Answer 1

I read in a yoga magazine that sometimes it affects people that way. Sometimes you just have to cry it out. When you get over it, however many months it takes, you are supposed to feel better. I agree with your response.

Answer 2

It is because Meditation attempts to tap into your very soul. It deals with the life force inside you, the goal is to open the "symbolic third eye" but one should only attempt that when one is emotionally stable, by which you have addressed the most painful issues in your entire life.
Successful meditation will open a flood gate of emotions.


Engery leaks out the body when Mediation is not done right. The goal of certain types is to cycle the engery witout escaping throughout the seven centers. Sleepyness happens because of engery escaping or bad concentration.

Answer 3

Not so pleasant past experiences and feelings are sometimes brought to the surface. Some who practice Yoga feel the same effects. The theory is that you should become aware of these feelings and work through them to feel better. Good Luck!

Answer 4

if it maes you unhappy then its not meditation
