    I have a question, I started meditating last week and I to love it then all of a sudden I get this pain from my chest after I got up from the floor. I still feel this pain, more like a pulling sensation then actual pain. It's very disturbing to me. What could cause that? Thanks guys.

    I usually do chakra meditation. But that particular day I was doing a simple meditation to release stress. I always seat in a chair, put my hands palms up on my knees just close my eyes, breath and relax . But that day I decided to do it on the floor instead. After I finished, as soon as I got up from the floor I felt this pulling sensation in my chest area. I was thinking if it's related to the chakra meditation which I've been doing for a longtime now? But, then again I never have any strange reaction after doing Chakra meditation, only after I did that simple meditation on the floor. Thanks.

    do you understand the purpose and function of each individual chakra?

    did you get up too fast?

    What if you danced around absolutely in love with everyone and everything?

    Would the pull still be there?

    That's a beautiful question for me to ponder. Because I've had a lot of hanger and resentment in me. This pain in my chest scares me. Please can you give me more advice. Thanks

    Now we're getting somewhere.
    Is it above your heart, below your throat?

    It's right on my chest area, below and over the nipples area.My entire breast bones, Let me say this:I am a very loving person. I am one of those people who have a very low self esteem and not very confident at all. People have been walking over me and disparaging all my life. Thanks to the world wide web I've been able to find places like this and have increased my self esteem and confidence. I've come a long way. I feel some people hate me because I am not willing to be a pushover anymore. I've developed deep hatred towards my foes that don't want me to succeed, but in general I am a very good person who wants to live in peace and harmony. thanks

    I know this feeling,
    and I think you just might need to cry.
    Honestly.
    Sounds like your flow is blocked right above your heart.

    I literally have to shake off the karma,
    it looks funny
    but no one sees me do it.
    It helps tremendously.

    If it's for crying I've done plenty of that all my life. I've suffered from depression. After I learned some NLP, and used some NLP tricks , I've able to come to peace with myself. Therefore crying is not hard for me. Thanks again

    Well then I've no idea why you're feeling a pull in your chest?
    In what direction? Follow it?

    Do some ecstatic dance, or creative flow like music, drums.
    Improvise.

    hang upside down from a tree?

    I don't understand it also myself. It's very unusual and scary. Thanks for the advice.

    If the sensation is physical seek physical treatment, even if only holistic, maybe with massage, or marma therapy. If it is mental then seek treatment for the mental discomfort. Often mental issue center around having a fixation, often for no reason.

    Depression - stop thinking of yourself as a victim

    As far as the heart area - I have anger issues as well and I find everytime I concentrate on my heart chakra it hurts/ dull pain/congestion etc feeling. I think its really a gift you can feel (these things) the "pull" which way is it going or which way do you feel or imagine it going?
