Anger during meditation: why and what to do.
4 steps that will help you deal with one of the common phenomena during meditation.
Finally, after a long day at work, you found time to meditate. You spread out the mattress, lit the lights, and sat down to meditate. And just when you thought you would find peace now, you started to feel irritable and impatient.
Annoying thoughts come from criticizing the boss, arguing with your husband/wife, etc., and they get even stronger when we sit still. However, it is quite common to feel anger while meditating.
But why can we get angry while meditating?
Our body keeps track of everything that happened to us during the day. good and bad But our brains are programmed for negative biases, so we tend to remember unpleasant moments. But we need to stop such thoughts, otherwise regrets and guilt may arise. And these are four ways to consciously work with feelings of anger:
1. אל תילחם בזה. למען בהירות, בוא נשווה בין מדיטציה לניקוי הארון. כדי לפנות מקום בארון, אתה עובר על כל הבגדים שלך ומסיר את מה שאתה לא צריך. עכשיו השתמש בטכניקה הזו ועבור על מאגר הזיכרון שלך. קודם כל, מצא מה אינך צריך ומה לא עובד עבורך, ואז שחרר את זה. זה מה שאנחנו עושים במהלך מדיטציה. אנחנו הופכים מודעים למה שאנחנו מחזיקים בו ויוצרים מקום לאושר ושלום.
You don't want to fight negative emotions while meditating. It's a sign that you've grown up and you don't need to react to them and hold on to them. Notice when your anger is building and you will know that you can release it and fill yourself with positive emotions.
2. Be grateful. When you take step #1, tell yourself, “Meditation works. She helps me get rid of what is stuck in the corner of my head. I don't need it. Reframing anger in this way will help you get rid of its power over you.
3. Realize that the thing you are angry about is in the past. Remember that anger, impatience and irritability refer to something that has already happened. It no longer exists physically, but it continues to permeate your body and mind. You can't change what happened. But you can learn from it.
You will know this when you can talk quietly about this situation and share your experience. But if emotions continue to rise during meditation, the lesson has not yet been learned. So tell yourself, "It's over. Everything is gone. ".
4. לנשום. והשלב האחרון הוא לא לשכוח את הנשימה. יש לה את היכולת להמריץ אותנו, וזה בדיוק מה שאנחנו צריכים כשאנחנו מדוכאים או כועסים. בפעם הבאה שתמצאו את עצמכם מאבדים סבלנות או מתעצבנים במהלך מדיטציה, קחו נשימה עמוקה ושחררו את כל הרגשות השליליים כשאתם נושפים.
