Pain in navel center under intense meditation. Help.

[Applegarden]

Hello, i have this huge issue when on intense sitting i have this weird almost like phantom pain of some deep seated worry or whatever, in the navel center. How to make it go away and sit in meditation for long periods of time?With intense sitting i mean strong determination sitting.

Go through it or take a break.
It's either a deep emotional trauma or your sense of self that feels threatened.

You can decide if you want to face either of those now, but there is nothing wrong with going slow for awhile though.

Just know that one way or another you'll have to face it, it's not going to go anywhere, no matter how good you are at roleplaying an ostrich ?

@Shin Thank you!

@Applegarden when you are ready to go through it you'll get through it. Be gentle to yourself and no need to rush things. These deep seeded feelings can take time to dissolve.

Okay, it has been a few years, same phantom pain but its irregular, sometimes its just pure bliss but when its there there is almost bo way getting rid of it. Sometimes there comes a deep sense of resistance to meditation that you almost makes you want to move the body psychologically. However there are some other techniques that kinda reverses the strong determination sitting principle like working with fear and completion also listening to existential truths works. Thanks!

It seems like you know what techniques to use. Notice the wanting to get rid of the resistance, it is part of the resistance itself.
