What may you experience during a meditation session?

Stillness

A sense of inner calmness that presides your entire being. Thoughts tend to seize when you are one with your inner body.

Positive sensations in hands/feet

Notice these sensations without desiring they last forever. Be with them, knowing you will need to let them go.

Pain Increasing, Often Leading to Decreasing

If dealing with pain of any kind, when you are observing it, it may become even more intense…don’t worry, sending messages of safety and breath to these areas will decrease pain symptoms

Decreased Anxiety
