I think it may be all old hurts from when i was a child coming out.
What would you say i should do to stop this, do you think i should continue meditating... do healing??? It's not a problem because i dont mediate much, but i think it would be best to get rid of the deep stuff.
Has anyone else experienced this???

Maybe you might try therapy. It's best to have a guide when you get the deep stuff out.
Other than that, when you try meditation, try guided meditation... choose the right music, record a track with the meditation you want to use and listen to that.
Changing the mood of your meditation might help with the crying.
Too, there might be a use in crying in your meditation. Try some grounding though afterward, and perhaps before.
If you would like a little help, you can email me and I could give you some more ideas.

I understand that meditation is used for the relief of stress & tension and I suspect that when that has been relieved, it would not be unusual to shed a few tears. ie; If your child went missing there would be stress etc. but once they were home safely the stress would be relieved and the tears would probably flow. I would suggest, if you are aware of 'deep stuff', meditation may not be the answer at this point, but professional help could be more beneficial in the long run. Ask your Dr? Good Luck. Seeker

I experienced the same thing when I started meditating. I'm not an overly emotional person to begin with, so when it first happened, I stopped altogether for a few months. After I stopped, old pains and negative experiences that I held on to started to resurface. I found this to be quite painful and depressing, but I learned to let to go of it all. I would take each 'pain' and examine why it hurt me so badly, like did my ego get bruised or did I feel like I was being personally attacked, and released them to the universe. It was a great healing process for me. Little by little, I started feeling like my positive self again and felt like I had a huge brick lifted off of my heart. I then went back to meditating and found it easier then to quiet my mind. I wouldn't give up on meditating, but you need to find the source of all the pain and release it.

I have not cried during or after meditation, but it doesn't sound like an unusual thing. Meditation opens your consciousness up and quiets your mind, so that you can relax and center yourself. If you have depression or supressed sorrows, it would not be odd for them to come to the surface at times of deep meditation, because your "thinking mind" is resting and letting your subconscious speak to you. I would suggest that the tears are probably healing and that it may be a good idea to focus your meditation to try to discover the cause of the sorrow.

What are you meditating on? Be careful where you are drawing your power and strength from. Meditate on God's Word and all the promises that are therein. The Bible says that if you keep your mind stayed on Him, He will keep you in perfect peace. Don't cry, because there is hope through Jesus Christ. He is our only hope. Leave that meditation stuff alone. Jesus is the answer. This world has nothing to offer but deceit and defeat. Ask Him into your heart today and claim the victory. God bless you!!

This is very common when people meditate for long periods of time. A lot of old issues come to the surface.
If it's happening a lot, then I suspect you have a lot that needs to get out. It should subside after a while.

I think you should continue. There's obviously things you need to deal with. I think crying is very healthy and it brings a sense of relief - as long as it is not excessive. I have cried many times in prayer/meditation. It's healing... let yourself be healed...

I think the best thing is to bury the old hurts. Forgive the people and just let it go. You can not get rid of the deep stuff without forgiving and forgetting. I don't care if you have dug it up, and dealt with it. you can always dig it up again, and it is just as bad then. This is why forgiveness is so important to a Christian. If we use it properly- it sets us free, if we don't-it makes us bitter.

To answer your question on experiencing this- is sometimes.
Again; the choice to continue or stop is yours alone. Follow your own heart. Do you feel better?
Sometimes for me, the crying is a pleasurable experience and is a happy cry not necessarily to mean sadness.
