Question:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI had been flirting with meditation sporadically for the past few months but never doing it properly and regularly missing sessions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, for the last week after doing more research I have been doing thorough, disciplined meditation sessions twice 20 minutes a day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As it\u2019s so soon it\u2019s hard to pinpoint any differences in me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the last couple of mornings (after meditating the night before and before my morning meditation), I have felt very emotional, even to the point of tears for no particular reason and when thinking about my parents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They are both fairly elderly but fine at the moment, so I have no idea why now I\u2019m feeling so emotional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I know people can experience strong emotions during meditation but when it happens during the day or the morning after, is this still a symptom of the meditation? Is this a good sign that meditation is working?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your insight would be much appreciated as I\u2019m a little worried.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Response:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It can sometimes happen when we first begin meditating that we tap into and start releasing old emotional tension and conditioning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This healing process may continue after meditation and express itself as an exaggerated emotional sensitivity or tearfulness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be concerned, it is a healthy indication that your meditation practice is helping to heal some past emotional pains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once that old trauma has cleared away, it will leave you stronger, more open, and loving.<\/span><\/p>\n
