Emotions - What do I do about excess emotions - sadness, remorse, anger, irritability etc. that have been happening since I started meditating?
Meditation and pranayama, when practiced as recommended in the AYP lessons, cause the nervous system to be purified. One of the things being cleared out seems to be physically stored emotions.
It is common to experience excess emotions during this time, and this manifests differently in everyone. One person may experience regret or remorse for two or three weeks, another anger, another sadness, for no apparent reason.
This "excess baggage" always goes away after a period of time. Those emotions were apparently something we were holding on to, probably caused by past events or karma.
From lesson 208:
"If we increase energy flow without sufficient removal of obstructions first, there can be unpleasant collisions and friction. If we are releasing obstructions too fast, then our ordinary inner energy flow can run into the loosened and lingering obstructions, causing irritability."
Obstructions are removed automatically as we do our twice daily meditation and other practices. Remember to "rest" after each session (sit or lie down doing nothing for a few minutes) to help prevent irritability.
Excess emotions have been sometimes associated with premature crown chakra opening, something we want to avoid. Read "Crown chakra-How to avoid/manage premature opening".
