Feeling really weird after 1h meditation session
Post Body

Hello everyone

I've been initiated to meditation a few months ago without really getting into it. Recently I started to practice like 10min everyday thanks to Sam Harris app, sometimes I would skip one day, but I mostly sticked to it. My motivation to dive more into the practice has increased a lot so I decided to buy The Mind Illuminated. I'm not sure which stage I am into right now, 2 or 3.

The thing is that for the first time I spent half an hour on a practice, and it went really well I was proud of myself.

Then like yesterday for the first time I spent one hour practicing and it was great, somehow I really felt that my focus was getting much better. But, I don't know if it's because I get out of the "meditation" state too quickly, or if it's because of something else, but I felt quite weird. Like a strong emotion, or feeling, without being able to do much about it.

I did a bit more than one hour today, and when I finished, it was okay but quickly this feeling/sensation came back and I honestly don't feel good at all right now. I don't know if it's an emotion I've been containing for a long time, or if I just get out of the practice too quickly. I'm a bit lost, any help or advice would be much appreciated :) thank you. Maybe I'm not doing the practice properly but I don't think so. Who knows.

Btw I'm on the app on the phone, and English is not my first language.
