Crying episodes after Relaxation CD?
Anybody experiencing crying episodes after listening to the Relaxation CD? I've just started the program but it's been happening every time I listen to it. Am I just releasing extra pent-up stress?

I believe because you are so relaxed you are able to release some pent up feelings and just let it out. I understand that this can happen during a massage as well. Paislee

Re: Crying episodes after Relaxation CD?
There have been times during meditation when I've cried. I was not upset by it. It said to me (though I am no expert) that my emotions were stirred and that can be a good thing.
There have been other times in my life when I cried uncontrollably. Very, very different. I view crying during or after meditation as actually therapeudic. Maybe I connected with myself, maybe became one with nature, maybe with a larger consciousness. Whatever, I am relaxed and at peace. Even read about MBCT, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. It may be so effective we are moved to tears (or so I imagine).
