Is normal meditation a trap?

@AJBrew Lots of time, I don't get a breakthrough in any work including meditation unless I give away what it is that I want. During your meditation try surrendering any images and sensations of love and compassion that come up. Notice them, let them have some space in your mind and body and before the thoughts go away, visualize yourself handing it over. I find that in the coming days, I am more authentic in daily life.

The more authentic I am, the more I can try to embody Truth and this leads me to accept life the way it is more. That's what I see as Love manifest.

You could give this a try and see if it works for you

I appreciate these perspectives and tools to use with my meditation. I realize I try to invite or attract those states of love in my experience and that I should start letting go of that.

Sorry, I didn't see the question before. I've only used anchor points when there was to much fear to handle my experiences. I think it's important not to get so afraid that you don't continue with the practice. But if you're reasonably comfortable dissolving into your surroundings, just let it happen and go beyond it.

It's all good I appreciate your response. Yes, I snapped out of the experience because I had a slight panic but I suppose its not risking my mental health to just allow it; going beyond it though is interesting, I've never heard of that approach before unless its like a neti-neti I suppose.
