Agitated in Meditation.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
When I meditate. Sometimes I hear nothing around me then there are times that EVERYTHING “gets” to me. I get an itchy hand, or an urge to cough or my mind bounces from thought to thought and I eventually stop meditating and feel agitated. What can I do? I love meditating. It gets me through everything, but these particular moments put quite a damper on my meditation.
Response:
All meditators have gone through this experience where every little thing that could be a distraction in meditation happens, one after the other. Don’t fight it. Recognize that this is the nature of meditation that is required at this time to get at the particular conditioning you need to release. It may not seem like good, deep meditation, but different tools are required for different tasks, and some stress can only be cleared through this kind of agitated meditation. So don’t judge it as ineffective meditation just because it feels superficial and scattered. Continue the practice easily and soon enough you will be back in more comfortable and familiar territory.
Love,
Deepak
