Question: Having a meditation problem

**azure** · 05-14-2009, 12:20 PM

Greetings all, i hope i put this thread on the right category :P

I've been meditating for a while now, so far things have been going nicely for me
I managed to gain more faith, see the world more positively, release a lotta burden, my emotions become far more stable and often give me a very calm personality (when facing problems as well), and on several occasions i managed to feel very clear, relaxing and complete, as if every answer is portrayed in front of me

It also seems that everything i need (and things i might need sometime later, even when i didn't know i need it at the time) often managed to appear at the right place, and the right time, in forms that i never expected, even during conditions when its unlikely to happen that way

Well, thats my testimony about how meditation affect my life, so now to the question:

Lately, ive been experiencing a little disturbance during sessions
Whenever i enter the condition where my mind are released from its burden, when i managed to stay focus, relaxed and calm, everything would gradually feel like faded, and thats when i hear and feel my heartbeat

At first it was nothing disturbing, but as i go deeper into relaxation, the heartbeat sound and beat even harder, (beat in terms of, i can feel it physically, each stroke are quite slow, but each feels like a tremor), and at that point, its kinda hard to concentrate, with all the tremors felt all over my body

The over sensitive heartbeat feeling haven't been happening to me before, and since it happens, the relaxation haven't been able to go as deep as it previously had

Im currently working on controlling and focusing my focus further during these conditions, and the problem might be solved as i work on it eventually anyway, nevertheless, i was wondering if anyone had suggestions about the matter, whether its experience or solutions or maybe advices regarding the matter, all constructive comments are welcomed

Thanks :P

Thanks for joining and the question is fairly easy to answer so I hope you know how to center or align your chakra's, you are describing body quakes, I had these when I first started meditating too.

They happen often as you raise your vibration as some people call it or your consciousness your body can be out of balance as you rise to your occasion of becoming a part of something bigger.

Once you have aligned your chakra's you will slowly start to notice a difference in your general life and those special moments of things that just come to you when asked will come back into being as long as your consciousness wants it.

The other way you can do this if your into exercise go for a long walk and ignore everything around you,
ie. don't get run over use your higher senses.:whistling:

Good luck in fighting those quakes.

Meditation Positions

If you are a beginner just starting out and beginning to enjoy the benefits of meditation, you should know that there are various meditation positions that you can try. It is probable that you will find certain meditation positions that will work the best for you and make your time of contemplation and reflection the best it can be, but it never hurts to give new meditation positions some consideration. It is important when trying to attempt new positions that you do not force your body into a position. If one of the meditation positions is uncomfortable for you it will be best to keep attempting the position from day to day until your body is limber enough to get into the proper position. The following are a few meditation positions that you may enjoy trying during your time of thought and reflection.

The most common and well known of the meditation positions is the lotus position. The lotus position is also known as the Padmasanam position and is a position in which you sit cross legged. To accomplish this position, you need to be able to sit cross legged with your right foot on your left thigh while your left foot is on your right thigh. In this position, the soles of your feet should be upturned. This position was developed to open up the chest cavity for better breathing and also for promoting the stability of the body while using deliberation of thought to achieve a state of rumination. If this position feels tight or uncomfortable, do not force yourself to stay in it too long, but over time your body’s flexibility will increase so the position is more comfortable.
Another of the various meditation positions that you may want to try is the Burmese position. This position was named the Burmese position because of its origination in the country of Burma. This is one of the meditation positions that people find to be very comfortable for meditation and contemplative thought. To achieve this position, you need to sit with your feet in front of where your pelvis rests and bend your knees until they touch the floor. Your toes should be touching the ground and pointing away from you while your heels point inward toward your pelvis. If you are a beginner in meditation, this is one of the mediation positions that will be easiest for you to achieve fairly easily.

The seiza position is another of the popular meditation positions and it originates from the country of China. This posture requires that you kneel down with your feet beneath your buttocks with your toes pointed out behind you. While this position may seem easy, it can take some time to find the right way to get your feet underneath your hips so you do not lose circulation to your legs.

There are many other meditation positions that not only include sitting, but also standing and lying down. The most important thing when you are choosing between meditation positions is that you find what works for you. Finding the position for meditation that is comfortable for you will help you achieve the level of contemplation and meditation that you are striving for.
