probably lightheaded, did you sit on an empty stomach?
insulin spike also Deep relaxation can trigger a drop in blood pressure the "forgetting" leads to a state of being where the individual is no longer identified with their thoughts and emotions Long story short, observe without judgement This post has been edited by c2tony: Apr 28 2025, 10:57 PM |

I also want to ask — is gentle swaying during seated meditation considered normal too? It’s not something I consciously control; the body just moves on its own. |

No matter what you felt… The only bad thing is 'too much' of everything, just like life itself when something came out, like memories or pictures. it’s best to only observe without engaging it. This doesn't mean suppressing or denying your experiences. It means relating to them in a different way like with curiosity, acceptance, and detachment. It's about creating space between yourself and your experiences, so you can respond to them wisely, rather than reacting impulsively. It's about finding a balance between observing and inquiring. A little bit of gentle inquiry can be helpful for understanding, but too much can lead to unnecessary suffering. The goal is to be curious without getting lost in the "what ifs." Ultimately, the best way to seek guidance from a qualified teacher who can observe your posture and provide personalized feedback. nihility liked this post
