When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

I am a 45 year old woman.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I learned to meditate when I was 17.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More recently I have started the So Hum meditation and it has stirred up lots of emotions.<\/span><\/p>\n

While meditating I feel total sadness and I cry every morning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It takes a lot of energy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking for help to explain to me why it is so.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

It seems that the meditation is releasing some deep levels of grief and sadness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These old feelings are now ready to be healed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To make it easier for you, when the feelings become very strong, instead of paying attention to the emotions, pay attention to the physical sensations in your body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let your awareness simply remain with those physical sensations, whether they increase or decrease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Having the mind attend to the body\u2019s sensations helps it release the old trauma without taking you through the difficult emotions again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eventually, the sensations will subside and then you will have other thoughts enter your mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is your signal to return to your meditation practice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once this sadness has cleared away, your meditation will return to normal.<\/span><\/p>\n
