There was a point after I had learned to meditate I found myself in the fetal position and sobbing. For me, I needed to work through this. So, I let it out and a good hug, comforting self talk, sitting on the ground, walking barefoot, hugging a tree, walking in nature are all very grounding for me. I also have a strong connection to water, so contact with water is powerful.
I examine the message of the feeling and try to see the root. Some of it is my child self, feeling vulnerable and scared. Journaling can help me hold the emotion away from my heart to look at the feeling when not in meditation to look at it at “arms length.”
Also, I asked others about the sobbing and it seems to be a normal occurrence in the meditation journey.
We are all like beautiful snow flakes and while I can share me experience, your experience is unique to you.
