The problem is, that when I meditate...every single time infact...my heart rate shoots through the roof and I get very ill. My ears ring...heart hurts so badly I have to stop.
Even laying down for an hour prior to trying, I still have this happen.
Can anyone here share a similar problem, and if so, how to get around this?
Namaste Surya
This can happen independent of heart condition but a doctor will know. Kumbhaka (retention of breath) is not tolerated well if it is not attained smoothly. I do not know whether you do anuloma-viloma or not? In case, your condition is not due to heart problem, then a course of anuloma-viloma before meditation may help. Or some do only anuloma-viloma.
Om Namah Shivaya
That which is without letters (parts) is the Fourth, beyond apprehension through ordinary means, the cessation of the phenomenal world, the auspicious and the non-dual. Thus Om is certainly the Self. He who knows thus enters the Self by the Self.
