Help Meditation to connect with your emotions and induce altered states of consciousness [BEWARE: GIGA POWERFUL].

[jayjay]

Meditation without music is BORING. We need to amp it up. We need EMOTION. We need the fire of emotion to annihilate and utter destroy the old in us, so that we can be reborn as the fennix.

Today I meditated and and a moster of fire manifested itself. It represents my ANGER. I talked with him.

Yeah, use altered states of consciousness induced by HIGHLY emotional music in order to connect with your internal psyche. Feel the emotion and speak with the figures that appear.

isn't the point of meditation to achieve a more relaxed state?

I thought it was to practice awareness and detach, the relaxed state just follows.

Yes, but that's only an aspect of it. Since you can induce altered states of consciousness via deep relaxation, you can also use this for exploring your emotions, dialoguing with your internal symbols and the like.

There are many kinds of meditation too. You can practice walking meditation, dancing meditation, singing meditation, and so on. Anything can become a meditative practice.

In this case, my focus is on exploring the emotional realm since there is where all of the suffering resides.
