I’ve been doing Vipassana meditation for over a year now, but I recently decided to experiment with some other forms. I have been trying the noting technique lately and each time I try it, I end up being overwhelmed with energy in the body, tightness in my chest and throat, and I begin sobbing quite hard. I cut my meditation short today because I was weeping too much.
Has anyone else experienced this? Should I stop this practice?
I used to get similer too-powerful effects combining vipassana and samatha. And noting seems like a combination kind of technique. So maybe it’s just too powerful.
My answer was to switch to just vipassana.
