Dark side of meditation?

[SimpleGuy]

When I do the inner feeling in mindfulness meditation I instantly get nervous, whereas before doing this inner feeling, I was completely relaxed and peaceful. 

Why is that? What do you think guys?

Perhaps the nervousness was already there, it’s just that you were distracted by everyday life and didn’t notice it 🧐

I do it in the morning. How could that be?)

The nervous system has interpreted something there that is not and it's triggered some response.

The answer to fear is its a lie that you beleive. Some of the lies you beleive are existential.

Let the inner feeling be your best friend. She’s a safe space.

Are you talking about the self, ego?

It's essential to meet the darkness. If you don't, you won't know what to do when inherent darkness of the world threatens you. Think of it like a vaccine, a little of darkness enables one to greater serve the light. And yes I stole that from assassin's creed
