Why We Experience Upheaval in Meditation | Evolving Through Difficulty

Evolving through difficulty: why do we experience catharsis (upheaval) in meditation? One way to look at it is the clearing out process. As we deepen in meditation and peace, all of the negative thoughts and emotions we carry around that are in-congruent with that peace start to come out. By being aware of the emotions and thoughts, the power behind them dissolves and our minds become quieter, more at peace. We grow deeper in awareness and bliss. But this gives the idea that in meditation, we clean out all the bad stuff and all that is left is the good stuff :) Which is a nice idea about spiritual enlightenment but really it is not entirely true. We get cathartic because the sense of who we think we are and what we know is getting shattered. We all have this sense of individual self that is based on our thinking. We believe we know who we are and our thinking is constantly reinforcing this sense of a separate limited self. So in order to realize the truth of who we are, this sense of who we think we are must be broken over and over. And every time it happens, if we are aware and not caught up in the thoughts around it, we feel the light shine through the cracks of our facade. We feel the peace and bliss that lies underneath this sense of separate self. So meditation is a path of undoing our sense of self, not so positivity is left, but so nothing is left but our essence, the true self that is Infinite Bliss, Infinite consciousness, Infinite Love. This is Self Realization. So challenges are necessary for the evolution of consciousness. This is how we can evolve through difficulty: through challenges, we learn to surrender the sense of who we are to find the peace and consciousness underneath. Some times this can feel like "the dark night of the soul" but really it is breaking open into light. The most important part to spiritual awakening and going deep in meditation is Kundalini Shakti, the energy that emanates from one who has realized the self. When you in the presence of this energy, you begin to feel peace, bliss and go deep into meditation automatically. The energy itself transforms you and awakens you to your true self of Infinite Joy and oneness. I offer Kundalini Shakti in 3 ways. One is through these videos. Second is through my free only satsangs which you can sign up for on the link below.
