Meditating While Being Sad


Have you ever done meditation while being sad? Sadness is a natural emotion that occurs when there is too much stress, hormonal imbalance, or the grieving process.  Meditation helps with your emotions by releasing them. Also, it makes you aware of your deep feelings. Sadness lasts for a short time and some see sadness as a negative emotion. 

However, meditation is a tool to help you analyze your thoughts. Letting go of sadness and painful comments takes time. Sadness is different than depression.  Yet, meditation helps with depression. Meditating changes how your brain reacts.

Additionally, mindfulness helps with sadness. Often, taking a walk helps your brain and nervous system to relax. It might not take away your sadness completely. Writing down your sadness and tearing the paper helps you to let go of your sadness. Getting a massage in a quiet setting gives you time to release unhappiness.

Therefore, do not ignore your sadness. Be present with your sadness. Cry, scream, or write it down to let go of your sadness. Visually see sadness passing by like a cloud, running water, or as a disappearing bubble.   If you are severely depressed or can not get rid of your sadness, seek professional help.  Below are links about meditation and sadness.
