How to meditate when you've gone numb
When Im feeling strong emotions especially painful ones I can meditate and become meditative really effectively. But there are times when I go emotionally numb and I cant seem to meditate so well when in a numb state. I usually do inner body meditation where I feel inside my body and emotions really help with this. When I go numb I seem to lose touch with my body so dont have the same anchor, I can drift into thoughts so easily like that.
I started speaking to my body and telling it that its safe. It sems to help. And saying "I love you" to myself helps. Breathwork and breath meditation, what happens is vibrations and tingling starts and gets really intense but I havent been able to reconnect with my body and emotions through breathwork yet.
Does anyone here ever experience dissociation from the body and if so, do you have any techniques to reassociate?
