Does anyone know a meditation technique to release old suppressed emotions? Or other methods to cry out them.

At 18 you do have your hands full man!! 
I feel pranayam (breathing exercises) might help in this case. Try Anulom-Vilom and Kapalbhati. Pranayam regulates the prana in one’s body and disentigrates negative emotions. But it has to be practiced regularly early morning and evenings… ideal time is betn 4:00AM to 6:00AM in the mornings and 5:45PM to 6:45PM in the evenings.
During this period the Sushumna nadi is active and gives quick results. The pranayama is then followed by any kind of meditation as preferred by you. The benefits of post pranayam meditation is enormous.

Thanks b.shahvir, these methods looks difficult. There are so many techniques and I can’t find one that is best for Me.

Well OK you need not follow it to the hilt, but you could try them at your own pace. You might need to put in some efforts if you want results. Nothing in life comes easy, that goes for spirituality too! After regular practice, it would become an habit and yoga would become effortless.

Oh snap. Good One. High Five.
Ok I’ll stop.
Thanks, for now I will stick with basic meditation.

Domas, may I suggest that when you do meditate or do yoga that you focus on thoughts such as “I now face the past without fear, I accept my pain, and I release it now, and I am Safe”, or something to that effect. I have found that this can often help me to slowly shift to releasing and thinking in new ways.
Good luck.
i too believe that you need to have a fair amount of knowledge about chakra meditation before starting it. Iam currently reading a book on Chakra meditation. buy it and read before you start practising it. Book on Chakra Meditation[QUOTE=b.shahvir;53325]Dear Domas,
Chakra meditation can be dangerous without a Guru. You could go on & on around in circles & not get anywhere. Be patient… just do not copy anything from the video as theory and practice are far more different. Your body/mind might react differently.
I do not intend to discourage you, but kindly do not venture into the unknown out of immature excitement. Enroll yourself in a class or find yourself a worthy Guru who can systematically guide you thru chakra meditation or Kundalini Yoga.
[B]P.S.[/B] Kindly pay attention to Amir’s words of wisdom. He never misguides!

Go for some free online MP3 downloads and check for positive results. If it helps then you could buy one. It could be a marketing gimmick as yoga & meditation is big business. Do not fall for quacks…
Thanks b.shahvir for Your reply. Do You think its safe?

can’t say… I’ve never tried CD’s as I’ve a Guru…I mostly follow yogic advice of my Guru. As per earlier posts, start with pranayam, especially Anulom-vilom… As soon as breathing is stabilized the mind will automatically come under control and meditation will become natural. Then you needn’t spend money on such CD’s
But if you are still interested in it, take advice from posters like ‘Inner Athelete’ as they are qualified yoga instructors and might help you in selecting material/CD’s which aid meditation.
Can’t find Inner Athelete.

Well, he’s one of the well known contributors to Yoga Forums. Try the forum search option, like find posts by InnerAthelete.
[QUOTE=Domas;52205]Hi, I’am new here. I’am very interested in meditation. I started to meditate 2 weeks ago and 1 week ago started to meditate on chakras. So My questions are:
- Is it dangerous to meditate on chakras everyday few times in the morning and in the evening?
[B]2) I heard that some people got traumas or gone insane, because they meditated on chakras in wrong way, is that possible?[/B] - I meditated on chakras 6 or 7 days and it feels good, but now I’am scared, please give Me some advices.
4)Please don’t judge Me, I’am new here and I need some help and advice. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
Yes. It is possible.
If you mingle with the engine of your car, without being a mechanic, what do you think the result will be ? How much more complex a living human being is, than an engine ?
Do you think that you can become a good mechanic only from books and from the internet ? Than how can you imagine that you could develop the wisdom and skill to consciously enter the engine of your very soul, and that in a few days/weeks and based on very limited information ?
I still feel the presence of a self realised (enlightened) Guru in one’s life is a must for proper spiritual guidance…
[QUOTE=b.shahvir;54993]I still feel the presence of a self realised (enlightened) Guru in one’s life is a must for proper spiritual guidance…[/QUOTE]
I would slightly rephrase this…
I think there are huge benefits on many different levels to be in close proximity and have available the teaching of very realized or enlightened teacher.
And especially if this person is available on an ongoing basis in one’s life.
I personally would avoid the word Guru as i believe that the external guru eventually leads to the internal ‘voice of wisdom’ for most people. But even then, there are huge benefits to being in close proximity to a spiritual teacher who is either very realized or enlightened depending on one’s terminology.
So b.shahvir i guess i am agreeing with you, and hope that others can ‘see past’ this reference you have used to ‘Guru’… if that term elicits any negative reaction.
And i would recommend sitting down directly with a spiritual teacher rather than listening to a CD.
Best Wishes,
Dave

This is very sad indeed. Guru is most divine…‘Gu’ means darkness, ‘Ru’ means light…one who dispels the darkness of ignorance from the mind of the disciple and brings him unto the light of knowledge (knowledge of the true self) is termed as Guru…

I fully agree with your definition of the term Guru.
But within Western culture, the term Guru has been used in many other contexts over the past 50 years, and it can put some people off.
I won’t mention the negative connotations here, as i don’t want to side track the most important message is that it is best to seek a spiritual teacher and talk to them face to face rather than listening to a CD.
Best Wishes,
Dave

Yeah I know!.. but the important point is… one never seeks a Guru, a true Guru finds oneself!
