Meditation causing heart symptoms?

Emmalevine · #1 23-12-2012, 01:58 PM

I also posted this in meditation but thought it might be useful here.

Earlier today I did a long, relaxing meditation which focussed firstly on the chakras and then specifically on my heart. I visualised a light (the soul) pumping through my heart and then felt my heartbeat in my chest, hands and face. This was all part of a meditation cd.

I was in bed for half an hour or so after the meditation. Then I got up and my heart started to pound. I have a health condition that can cause this and I haven't been particularly well lately. But when I got downstairs it was going so fast that I was on my hands and knees, it was frightening

It has not been this bad since I ended up in hospital with it two and a half years ago. I was also shivering all over, breathless due to the tachycardia and dizzy.

It took a long while for my beta blockers to kick in but I took the maximum dose and they did. My heart is now slow but I am really upset.

While I have cardiac issues, this reaction is completely out of context to what normally occurs. Therefore I'm wondering if the meditation and focussing on my heart could have made it worse? Has anyone else experienced similar? I don't know if this is a sign of healing, excess energy or something else?

No, I haven't had any issue like this, but bec my sister has A-fib...I sure would
Like you to see a doc for this.
If she misses even one of her pills it is just awful...like
What it sounded like with you.

It would be a long while before I did that particular focusing, I'll tell ya that.
I have no answers tho.
Take care, Starbuck, gee....:/

Thank you.

I do take beta blockers and have to ensure I have a regular dose but my heart hasn't been so out of control in over two years :(

Sadly the docs won't do anything now the beta blockers have slowed it down. I was monitored while in hospital and even though my heart went out of control every time I sat up they concluded my heart itself was fine! I have a condition that doesn't show up on any ECG or scan.

I'm certainly very wary of doing any heart-focussed meditations now though.

Starbuck

If this was on a meditation cd it could also affect others in the same way.could it be that you are due for a check up at the doctors for your ailments?.if so it could be that your body is out of sorts. i havent heard of a meditation affecting anyone like it has you, i would pay your doctor a visit and tell him what has happened, better to be on the safe side. rather than worry all over the christmas period.

Namaste

I've had a rough couple of nights myself, Starbuck. Two nights ago I had the worst stomach pains ever. I've always suspected that besides the heart problem, I believe I have a hiatal hernia - oh, plus the gallstones. I think that the holiday season adds stress to our lives, as well - plus it's cold! For me, I have to assume it's a crescendo of all of these things with my gallbladder giving an extra strong performance. I'm scheduled for an angiogram / heart catheterization January 9th.

I think you would do well to call your doctor and at least let him know of these experiences. I did - even though I won't be able to talk to him until Monday.

Thank you both. Don't worry I understand my body - I've been worse generally lately and this is part of it. What shocked me was the suddenness and intensity of my heart rate - it hasn't done that to such an extent for over a year. I do believe that the meditation I did must have triggered it somehow because I've been so ill lately and much weaker. I've been buzzy all day and think I must have an energy overload. Maybe my body couldn't cope with it.

It's to explain without going into my illness but the doctor really won't bother much.

Ask your divine friends for help. You don't have to know who they are. They'll assist you. I've always had excellent luck with this.

Blessings to you Starbuck. I hope you are feeling a little better soon...? Peace and joy to you for Christmas time and hope you find time to really relax over the holiday.

Not seeing a doctor when something serious happens can end up being a fatal mistake.

Hi Starbuck,
Heart based meditations cause your heart to open up. It is not comfortable at times. I opened my heart some time ago and it does the same thing. I even have a burn in my chest at times. Since you have heart problems I would see a doctor to be sure. I have seen many and I am healthy even though at times I feel like its almost over with the changes of this new age and opening to it.
Read through this http://psychicpotentials.com/2011/%E...ody-ascension/ #7 to be exact, also I would see a specialist if you have not to be sure your heart is good and what you are feeling is not physical and from opening up.
A unified field mediation does really help.

Peace, light, and love to you,
