A spectrum of psychological effects
While meditation is often associated with feelings of calm and tranquility, it can also stir up a wide range of psychological experiences. For some practitioners, meditation can bring forth suppressed emotions, leading to bouts of sadness, anger, or even anxiety. This emotional release can be disconcerting for those unaccustomed to facing their innermost thoughts and feelings. Additionally, some individuals may find that their meditation practice triggers vivid and sometimes unsettling memories, as the mind sifts through the recesses of the subconscious. It is crucial to acknowledge and navigate these psychological effects with guidance and support to ensure a safe and positive meditation journey.
