		<description><![CDATA[Tears in meditation is this normal?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Question: I always feel sad during meditation, sometimes even in tears, is this normal?</em></p>
<p>There is a lot of emotional suppression in today’s world. Nobody faces their own emotion anymore irregardless at work or at home. When you are feeling sad, you have to smile, when you feel like smiling you have to control even your laughter nowadays, this is how the society works these days. Can you imagine courses of teaching people how to laugh? This is the most irritating teaching that I have ever heard.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There are even trainings for you to suppress your emotion for example when you are surprised you have to pretend you are calm, when you are angry you have to suppress and smile and etc. All these are misleading you to ignore your fear, your anger, your sadness because all these are thought to be negative emotions.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sadness, unhappiness, anger are terms as “negative energy” but these are all lies. What is right and what is wrong in this world? Is negative emotion wrong?  If there is no negative emotion then it is impossible to have positive emotion, all these are just relative to each other, complementing each other.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You are experiencing this because there are too much suppression inside you and in fact deep down you feel sad an sorry for yourself. This is still not meditative state, this is just the beginning of meditative state.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Meditative state appears only where there is no-mind. You are feeling sadness now because the meditation technique is helping and  trying to clear your conscious mind, unless you confront and accept your own emotion, else there is impossible to experience meditative state.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Do not judge the sadness that is arising from the inner awareness, just watch the sadness appear inside you without judging right or wrong. Relax and be aware of the sadness, be neutral just watch it. Slowly, meditative state will appear before you, then you are open, the door to the universe is prepared.</p>
