Does anybody feel down after meditation? Like it just started happening to me a couple of weeks ago. I’m in a good slightly manic mood and I meditate for 39 min and a few times in the last couple of weeks it just tanked my mood.
Maybe it’s other factors I’m not seeing but it’s happened a few times now .
Depends if you are attentive in your meditation or concentrative in your method?
If you are concentrating and blocking out thoughts then you are most likely mentally exhausted from meditating.
If on the other hand you are attentive to what you are thinking, accepting, seeking out your thoughts to their end and seeing where it goes next then it is a breeze…
@AKendrick what kind of meditation are you doing, like focusing on breath? I just meditated today, I think I’m gonna do it a bit every day, or try to. Nothing extreme but just sitting still and noticing sensation for a few minutes. I did a lot of meditation 11 years ago and it pulled me out of a depression, but then I stopped and my life went bad. I wish I would have just continued on that path…
@AKendrick your music that I listened to that you shared puts me in a meditative state that I really enjoy. I enjoy your music as very relaxing and I meditate to the things I want to accomplish. I listen to Smooth Jazz and your music is very similar.
