Fear Coming Up During Meditation

[Giorgia Andriani]

While meditating yesterday a terrific thought came up in my mind and I couldn't control it. What is that about? I'm trying to restore this habit because I haven't meditated in two weeks after four months of daily meditation... That made me a bit sad not managing to stay in meditation :-(

Couldn't control the thought? Is that just a bad choice of words? As far as I know, thoughts cannot be controlled. You can only observe and accept that the thought is there and continue.

Supressed fears are supposed to come up so u can face and integrate them.

I suggest u dont try to run away from this and get back meditating and sit with this fear.
