AYP Plus Additions:
From: Yogani New Visitors: It is recommended you read from the beginning of the archive, as previous lessons are prerequisite to this one. The first lesson is, "Why This Discussion?"
A: Happy to hear things have been going well with your meditation. It is purification and opening you are experiencing, and it is normal. If there is some irritability in daily activity, first make sure you are taking plenty of rest before getting up from practices. Lie down for 10 minutes or more, if needed. If there is still irritability after that, then consider self-pacing your practice time to find a better balance between practices and daily activity. If difficulty continues, also review additional suggestions in Lesson 69 (kundalini measures) and Lesson 367 (measures for over-sensitivity to mantra meditation). It is unlikely you would have to go to over-sensitive meditator measures, but we do have a wide range of situations covered, as needed. Periods of sensitivity may come and go over time, and we can navigate them with prudent self-pacing. It is quite normal to find that we have to make adjustments from time to time. It is the nature of self-directed practice. The experience of some excess purification and opening you are describing is a well-known phenomenon that has been explored from many angles in the AYP writings and support forums. These things come and go. Our job is to keep our daily practices in balance for good progress with comfort and safety. Then we find inner silence rising steadily, and also the energy that "moves stillness" into every avenue of our life in an unending outpouring of creativity and divine love. Your experiences are early indications that this natural process of unfoldment is underway. Wishing you all the best on your continuing path. Enjoy! The guru is in you.
