hello Anthem and others who experience overloads easily.
I have a question for you: was malaise due to overloading more common in the morning (say between 8 am and noon time or 2pm)?
In my case mornings are problematic, there is dizziness, nausea, anxiety, light-headedness on occasion, reduced motor control (body feels light and weak, also steps are unstable), blood pressure is probably not right, all the while these symptoms are mixed with deep absorption in ajna.
As the pitta timeframe transitions to vata (2-3pm) malaise goes away and I feel much, much better... then around 6-7pm ajna gets out of control again, causing mild nausea, reduced motor control and unblinking gaze but the symptoms are much more manageable compared to the morning. The most symptom free time is nights after 8pm.
Does this sound familiar or it's just me?
Why are mornings so problematic, any insights?

Hi sn19
Sounds like massive overload. Have you reduced practices since you've been experiencing this? You need to do a lot of grounding, maybe take a break from sitting practices for a few weeks.
Best wishes

thanks for the reply.
No, I foolishly increased practice intensity because of the morning malaise which made it worse, only now am beginning to reduce/stop practices.

I would take a good break from mantra meditation and any energy work if I were in your position. Spend time outdoors, get fit, ground, socialize.
When I get overloaded (and I don't get anything quite as serious as you've described above), the only thing I still do is passive awareness meditation. Getting the overload symptoms witnessed seems to help me.
What do you normally do to ground yourself?
