Ughh so i been meditating wrong this whole time is no wonder! I tried to meditate the right way today and boy did i really feel the pressure in all the chakras ive been working with, except the crown.. Were im at right now is the heart chakra. I felt intense pressure in that area when meditating but it goes away when i stop meditating. Does it mean i have to keep working on my heart chakra to feel the pressure without meditation? Thank you alot for correcting me tho! I made a post about this situation thinkin no one was gonna answer me on this post. Lol
Feeling pressure in your heart chakra or a sensation of sorts with any chakra when focusing and working with them simply means it's responding to you putting energy into it which means you're doing things correctly. You're free to keep working on it to empower it more if you want to.
Meditation for us is not necessarily the stereotypical "Sit cross-legged, relax, light some scented candles and chant aum". Meditation is rather straight forward and I don't do a single special thing for it and even do meditations casually throughout my day like doing the foundation meditation while doing chores.
The only thing you need to perform meditation is focus, visualization and intention, that's really all. You don't have to do anything fancy or additional but you're free to do whatever will help you. Sometimes I play instrumental music, sometimes I pace to get energy flowing, sometimes I sit, sometimes I stand, it doesn't really matter but I have never done any breathing exercises save for meditations that require them, and the majority of my meditations are just done while sitting at my computer desk.
But like I said,
if it helps you then feel free to do it. If lighting a scented candle helps you to relax and focus go ahead, if sitting or being in a certain position helps you focus or visualize go ahead, if you'd rather be outside than indoors when meditating, if doing breathing exercises helps you with meditating, if you'd rather move while meditating, if it helps to listen to music or ambiance while meditating, go ahead, go ahead and go ahead. These things are just not
required.
It's all just about the mind.
