meditation, cried for no reason

[Moment]

So recently I’ve been doing 20 min sessions with mantra meditation. And yesterday, I felt a slight discomfort in my session. I started breathing a little faster than normal and I got slightly nauseous. I did not think any more about it and I went for a run. Later that night I noticed that I was still breathing a little faster than normal, and the nauseous feeling was still present. 

 

I just surrendered to the feeling and went deeper into it. And suddenly I burst into tears for no reason! I was literally curing without any particular emotion or memory. It felt like I was releasing old stuff but unable to figure out where it came from. 

 

I hope that this is a sign of healing and progress, but who knows. I know that meditation is known to surface old emotions, but wouldn’t that release normally happened in the meditation itself, not hours afterwards? 

 

Any thoughts ?

This reads to me as “progress” indeed, purification. Many struggle with something you did not, which imo is key. You didn’t involve someone else, you didn’t ‘go into thought stories’ about it. You finished your meditation, and went for a run. A different way to frame this up - the body is infinite intelligence, but the mind thinks it’s running the show and most often get’s in the way, with thinking, which slows the body of it’s cleaning out. 

I would take this as nothing short of a tremendously good sign. The universe is made of healing, and knows just what to do.

of course it is a sign of healing and no it does not necessarily have to occur during the official process of meditation it could occur outside of it too b cuz awareness is not limited to that set period of time. did u notice that u were aware of ur emotions right before u cried? thats meditation too just not in the formal sense. as long as ur in tune with ur sensation it is meditation

Im goin threw something simillar, actually crying alitel right now haha, for no reason im aware of. 

Also i cry during meditation, especially sencing The sensations around The eyes and forhead and relaxing there years just start flowing and I dont know why... I do have alot of fear in my chest aswell tho so probably is conected. 

I deffently see it as progress and healing.
